\nMeet the 12th sigil in what I guess could be called the Shared Magic Sigils of the Pandemic series \u2013 the Adaptability Sigil<\/strong>. It was created on Saturday, September 12th during my Sigil Witchery<\/a> workshop. As part of every workshop, we collectively craft a sigil, and since March, every workshop has touched upon helping folks get through this pandemic in some way.\u00a0(Complete list of these sigils can be found near the bottom of this post)<\/em>. You\u2019ll see from the workshop whiteboard, we also dubbed it the \u201cWe Can Do It Sigil\u201d and the \u201cLog-Rolling Sigil\u201d<\/p>\n

In discussing what to create, we had a lot of inspiration stemming from the fires\/smoke that\u2019s hitting much of the West Coast of the United States (and in other parts of the world as well) largely due to changing climate patterns which are further amplified by irresponsible behavior. How do we adapt to change this pattern while also working towards a better society for all while under pandemic and political pressure? So this sigil brings in elements of that while aiding us in adapting to change in ways that will benefit both humankind and the planet.<\/p>\n

Workshop Whiteboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Built Into This Sigil:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 Resilience, protection
\n\u2013 Focus on climate change, personal responsibility, awareness
\n\u2013 Prepare for growth and becoming comfortable with a new normal
\n\u2013 Clarity and insight
\n\u2013 Peace, balance
\n\u2013 Reclaiming Power, strength
\n\u2013 Healing<\/p>\n

Design Notes:<\/strong>
\nAs we were creating this sigil, one student brought up the fact that some varieties of pinecones require fire in order to burst\/seed\/start new life. Another mentioned the resilience and durability of eggs. These ideas gave form to the major defining shape of the sigil. There was also the interesting design by-product of the spirals simultaneously reminding us of the \u201cWe Can Do It\u201d Rosie the Riveter iconography and the classic \u201cStrongman\u201d character flexing muscles and displaying an impressive mustache. There are several other interesting design by-products you\u2019ll notice the longer you look at it.\u00a0 The finalized drawing is a bit more egg-shaped than oval, but either variation will work just fine.<\/p>\n

How to Use This Sigil:<\/strong>
\nYou are welcome to use this sigil however you see fit that is in alignment with the intent of the sigil.
\nIdeas for use:
\n\u2013 draw or carve on a candle (white, green, or blue are suggested)
\n\u2013 use as a meditation focus
\n\u2013 apply to the body with an oil that aligns with your focus
\n\u2013 incorporate with workings focusing on climate change
\n\u2013 use for protection and guidance of body, home, communities<\/p>\n

Please note:\u00a0<\/em>When sharing this sigil (or any other sigil you find on this blog), please be sure to include the link to the blog post.\u00a0 The sigil works best if people understand precisely what went into it, versus just sharing the image and telling people to use it.
