well from what I've about sigils what you are supposed to do is write down what you want in a positive wording for example: I will learn to play guitar. then you take out the vowels and any letters that repeat then combine the remaining letters into a symbol the more obscure the better then you have forget the symbol for it to work I hope I helped

As far as my readings into Chaos Magick go, you do that, but you shouldn't simply forget the sigil; focus on it, over a certain period. See what happens. Experiment with wording, symbolism, time, everything. Chaos Magick is a lovely thing, really.

Also, although it can be difficult to find, if you can get your hands on a book called "Practical Sigil Magic" by U.D. Frater, that should have good information. I've yet to order my copy, so I'm going off the opinions of others.

When writing down your intent make sure to make it positive. Like using the above example "I will learn to play the guitar." Isn't the best statement because when will you learn? Maybe next 5 days, 5 years, 5 months? It's probably better to say "I can play guitar."

I would also recommend the word sigil but what was neglected to be mentioned was that it is important to write the phrase in the PRESENT tense as if it is currently happening ie. instead of "i will learn to play guitar very well" go with "I am very good at guitar".

I make sigils in one of two ways. The first is already mentioned with using the words, removing vowels and then putting the letters together in a manner I find pleasing. The second method I use is to just start drawing....let it come to me. Generally after a few scribbles, I'll get something that feels right. So for knowledge, I might just use the letter "K" for the base of my sigil then maybe draw a arrow point on the top somewhere to signify an increase in knowledge....then I will play with it as I see fit until it just works for me.

However, sometimes these don't turn out exactly how I want them. They are missing some flare...so I will pull out a calligraphy pen to change their appearance. No one ever said you had to use the standard handwriting alphabet when making your sigils! This makes it a more fun art. I've also known people to make sigils using the alphabets of other languages like runes, theban, ogham and etc. This last one isn't common but it gives you more possibilities in your designs.
