Welcome 2026!

Meet the 2026 sigil for the year: a new year, a new sigil! The 2026 Sigil is designed for collective movement towards peace, justice, truth, compassion, and connection.

What’s this all about?

I prefer to set the tone for the coming year with a sigil instead of the typical new year’s resolution. This approach shifts the focus away from a singular goal and more towards overall change.

I’ve been doing this creation for over a decade now. 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 collect their words and create a list of elements for us to work with. Then we use my signature Sigil Witchery method to craft the sigil. (You can check out the 2025 Sigil for the Year here.)

The sigil is created 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.

For the last two years we’ve been doing 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. We first created the personal, then the community one. 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. What’s really interesting is how the two correlate and can be used together.)

Here is the virtual whiteboard from the workshop:

Much thanks to all of my Patreon folks who participated in building the sigil!

Design Notes

Each year after I draw the sigil digitally on our virtual whiteboard, I then draw it by hand and scan it in. While the sigil could be created digitally, I feel the connection through the body is a key part of the process. This makes the sigil more organic and accessible.

The goal isn’t a perfectly symmetrical sigil, but one that includes the human and spiritual factors. I could have mirrored the design after scanning, but the slight slant enhances the sense of motion in the future. This movement is perfectly inline for the coming Year of the Horse.

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:
– 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.
