Sigil Presentation: Necromancy Sigil

Hello pornies!

One of my goals for this year is to hone my necromancy practice, get better and be able to feel confident when using it because, truth be told, I always doubt a bit when doing a necromancy session.

In order to do that, I will meditating, reading and practicing a lot on the topic this year, and I wanted to rescue a post from Instagram (before my main account got deleted, damn you, Nanny Army!) about a necromancy sigil I will be using from now on.

As I told you before on the original post, this sigil is designed to summon and release the spirit of the dead we are working with. You can either use both version, each one for their own purpose, or use just the first one, whichever way you may prefer. Now, why did I use that shape? The image above summarizes it pretty much:

1. The arrow directs the energy of the spirit, showing it the way to come. Why does it come from below? Because the dead is often buried, and the Underworld is, well, under our world. The curvy end eases the process so it doesn't drains or bothers neither the witch not the spirit.
2. The horizontal lines in the sigil represent the Middle World, our world, the world of the living, to where the spirit comes and then goes, and the Underworld, where they belong to. The arrow touches both to connect them.
3. The coffin is placed in the middle since it is a core symbol: it is a figure we all associate with death right away, it is a reminder. Inside of it, I placed a simple symbol to represent the "as above, so below" principle: Just like the dead can be under us, they can also be in here, and they are encouraged to so when we use this sigil.
4. The vertical lines on the bottom of the first version act as "roots", making the arrow the "branches" and the coffin the "trunk". The Tree of Life is a common metaphor about the structure of the universe, which I will talk about later, and so I decided to use it as a small reminder that we are all connected and show the explicit direction in which the spirit has to travel during the session. If you use the second version, the roots and branches are inverted.
5. Finally, the transverse lines represent the fluidity and changeability of the sigil. It summons and releases, it welcomes and bids farewell. This is not an open invitation to stay as long as the spirit wants, but to keep it mindful that we are in control during the session. The spirit is a guest, I am the host.

How to use this sigil?

• Put it in candles (if you use them) when doing necromancy.
• Write it in a paper and put it in the center of the altar.
• Trace it in the air to send your intention to the universe.
• Trace it in an object that belonged to the person in question to stablish a connection with them.
• If you're using both versions, use the first one to summon and open the session, and the second to release the spirit and end it.
• If you use only the first version, turn it upside down at the end of the session to act as the second version.

Feel free to use it as you prefer and let me know about your results! I already inscribed it in my book of shadows, and am eager to use it for the first time when the right time comes!

Kinky regards, K!
