LTZ’s 2024 Sigil for the Year 2023-12-31T08:01:38-08:00 Laura Tempest Zakroff

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

We’ve reached the end of 2023 (how??) – which means it’s time to introduce the 2024 Sigil for the Year. (You can check out the 2023 Sigil for the Year here.) Instead of a New Year’s resolution, I prefer to set the tone for the coming year with a sigil. This approach shifts the focus away from a single goal or task and more towards overall change.

I started doing this back around 2015-2016. At the end of each year, I collaborate with my Patreon supporters to craft a sigil for the coming year. They provide a few words or phrases that they’d like to see as a theme for the new year. I go through all of the input and create a list of elements for us to work with and then we use my signature Sigil Witchery method to craft the sigil.

For the past 4 years, I’ve done it live via our weekly Zoom session so folks can join in on the process. If you’re on my Patreon (or want to join it for just $1 a month which gets you access to a lot of behind-the-scenes art and magic), you can watch the video recording. In the video, you can see the process happen in real time, as well as in-depth discussion about how the words were grouped, what they mean, and how we brought the sigil to life.

This year we did an experiment and created TWO sigils – one that was focused on the personal/microcosm (and had its own set of words) and one that’s focused on community/macrocosm. The sigil being shared here is the community/macrocosm sigil. (The personal sigil is being shared only via Patreon (it’s also on the video) and allows for greater personalization once you understand how to use it. )

Here is the virtual whiteboard from the workshop:

The Sigil:

How To Use This Sigil

You are welcome to use this sigil however you see fit that is in alignment with the intent of the sigil.
Suggestions for use:
– Carve or place on a candle for celebrating the transition from 2023 into 2024 (white, silver, or gold is recommended, but if you are drawn to another color, follow your intuition)
– Place on your altar, wear on the body, or put in places that are related to the changes you wish to bring into your life/your community
– Put it on a journal, notebook, calendar, or planner – some place you will go to regularly throughout the year.
– Use in meditation as a focus – either mentally or walk/dance/draw it with your body as a moving meditation

Please note: When sharing this sigil (or any other sigil you find on this blog), please be sure to include the link to the blog post. The sigil works best if people understand precisely what went into it, versus just sharing the image and telling people to use it.
