Kindness seems to be in short supply lately, yet it’s integral to building a more just and vibrant society. When we foolishly mistake kindness for weakness, we all suffer. It’s time to have a revival of kindness.
The Crafting of the Sigil
Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been teaching a virtual Sigil Witchery workshop at least once a month. A integral part of the class is co-creating a sigil together. We’ve created quite an array of notable sigils in the last two years that you can find using #sigil to search this blog.
Most of the time, I don’t have any idea what the focus of the sigil will be beforehand, as I like to largely leave it in the hands and minds of the students to offer ideas. Yesterday afternoon (1/16/2022) was another happening of the workshop, but also the 1 year anniversary of the creation of the Living Democracy Sigil. It’s been quite a year and I was very curious as to what our end result would be for this workshop. I was not disappointed.
The students called upon the need for a rebirth of society/community infused with a greater understanding and active practice of kindness. We didn’t exactly land on a name that really stuck during the workshop, as you’ll see from the workboard below – the main notes being rebirth/kindness/reboot. In finishing up the art of the sigil for this blog, I’ve decided to dub it the Kindness Revival Sigil, with a nod to rekindling or rediscovering a consciousness that creates a more kind and compassionate society moving forward.
