The Quintisigil (AKA the Cinquesigil) represents the combined focus of 5 of the shared magic<\/a> sigils that are most essential to dramatic social change. This design is being offered in collaboration with Little Black Egg<\/a> as a fundraising project for the Black Visions Collective<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There has been numerous requests to have some of these sigils made into t-shirts. Rather than focusing on just one, 5 sigils were selected to have a combined, progressive effect to inspire working for effective and lasting change. Then we selected BVC to receive the proceeds from the sales of the shirts. Pre-orders can be placed through June 19th for the first batch.\u00a0 For complete details and to order yours, please visit the We Are Aradia shop<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 they will be processing and shipping the orders on behalf of Little Black Egg.<\/p>\n

About the Name & Design:<\/strong>
\nAs this sigil incorporates 5 very powerful sigils, \u201cquinti\u201d refers to its fivefold nature and also is a play on the word \u201cquintessential.\u201d \u201cCinque\u201d also refers to fivefold and is a nod to the herb cinquefoil or 5-finger grass, which has numerous magical properties assigned to it, including protection. The\u00a0five points of the leaves are said to represent wisdom, power, health, money, and love. The sigils have been arranged with magical space in mind \u2013 4 of them representing direction and elements, while the center connects above and below. Altogether, they create a crossroads where powerful magic can be worked. Each sigil was drawn and facilitated by Laura Tempest Zakroff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About the Sigils:
\n\"The<\/strong>
\nThe Power Sigil<\/a> (center) \u2013 the first of the shared magic sigils was created in November 2016.\u00a0 It is designed to protect and empower all those who need it, support human rights, and foster recognition of the other within each of us. The inverted variation has been selected to foster community support at the root level.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A Sigil to Protect Protesters<\/em><\/a> (East) \u2013 This sigil was especially designed to not only protect protesters but to make sure that their message be seen, visible, heard, and has impact \u2013 as well as to instill hope. The element of Air is often associated with the East, and is an element of communication.<\/p>\n

\"2020The 2020 Freedom Sigil<\/a> (South) \u2013 in the South, often associated with Fire, this sigil represents\u00a0freedom from the aging structures that bind and bend us \u2013 as individuals as well as a society and greater global community. Freedom from corruption, inequality, bigotry, racism, and all the fears that impose upon basic human rights and dignity \u2013 as well as the health of the planet. Freedom to help bring effective, lasting change that moves all of humanity forward without leaving anyone behind.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

A Sigil for the Dissolution of Hate<\/a> (West) \u2013 Using the cleansing and healing properties of Water, this sigil works to dissolve that which fosters hate. It creates the potential for fresh new ground that acts as a foundation of respect and understanding to be built up.<\/p>\n

\"root<\/p>\n

The Root to Sky Sigil<\/a> (North) \u2013 Grounded in the element of Earth, this sigil\u00a0encompasses the necessity of putting energy into the root of a situation, so that the working may grow to address larger needs as it expands and resolves. The sigil helps to get folks involved at that critical root level, and keep that energy moving throughout the process \u2013 yielding more powerful long-term effects that benefit self, community, and beyond.<\/p>\n
