This is a cool generator, though I'm having a hard time figuring out the difference between the three different complexity styles. It seems like they're all capable of generating sigils with complex shapes and multiple component or, conversely, sigils with simple shapes and few components. I feel like I'm missing something that should be obvious.
I wanted to reach out and share a VJ pack that I just released. I collaborated with a gloving performer and created some magic spell visuals to make a collection of concert visuals for VJs to use. During the process I stumbled across this amazing tool and really enjoyed experimenting with it and then compositing the renders in post-production. So I thought you might dig seeing the end result.
Could you add the ability for users to type a statement of intent to generate the sigil, similar to how it works on Trinarysigil generator?
As a practitioner of chaos magick, I wanted to share that while some of these symbols are commonly used in alchemy, they can also be used as sigils in modern practice. To create a sigil, it is necessary to encircle the intended meaning of the spell you wish to cast. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you need more informations about magick or looking for do something new in this context, I’m willing to help. :)
I don't mean to be "that guy", but there is no such thing as "necessary" within chaos magick. One of its core principles is the avoidance of dogma, and another is that reality is totally subjective based on belief. So sure, you can believe you HAVE to encircle the intended meaning or whatever, but that's not taught as a rule anywhere within chaos magick whatsoever.
This is awesome. I actually love this more than the Rune generator of yours.
I want to use these as sigils for spells in a game but they don't fit that well. If there was a way to edit the lines and the images I could set them to how I like but that would take forever...lol.
Is there a way to make these look less alchemical (less scientific) and more mystical like magic sigils or runes?
Basically something that looks more like it was written or drawn by hand and less technical. As far as an idea for what they may look like, take a look at the Nordic runes for inspirationhere.
I also wonder if it's possible to set it so we could alter the lines and such to more of what may be needed.
I thinkRune Generator produces runes which look somewhat similar to norse runes. I did some tests with the hand-drawn style, but didn't publish them as something interactive.
While I love this for random sigil generations. I would love to see this updated to be used with proper sigil generation. something that allows you to put the intent in then shows the breakdown and then display choices of different sigils that could be made with the intent. this would help many neopagans and Wiccans who are new to sigiles as well as others. If you dont know how sigils are made in the witchy world i'm happy to send you a basic guide.
Hi there! I didn't write this, however i believe i can be of help.
First of all, i am not a witchcraft practitioner so i wont claim to represent them, their opinions or knowledge, however i did investigate about sigils out of curiosity/worldbuilding reasons.
As far as i know neopaganism is inspired by a lot of cultures so looking for staves/runes/sigilla in general may lead you to the meaning behind a few symbols.
There are a few methods of sigil creation but most of them have what's called an intent. Intent is in very simple words the desire that lead you to create a sigil. A few notable methods are using a pattern such as a magic square or witch circle to create a path, combining symbols (what this gen does) and chaos magic where you would use a fountain pen or similar writting device where the resulting symbol isn't really methodic and the "style" matters as it's a result of your intent.
As for this generator i could identify a few notable symbols:
- Curves and patterns from the zodiac and the lesser key of solomon
- The symbols for planets and greek gods usually related to alchemy
- a circle with a cross inside (usually means earth from what i could gather)
- a circle with a * inside (wheel of time)
- Quarter moons, used to represent lunar phases when inside a circle but also to represent the horned god or a trinity godess (usually mother crane and maiden)
- Cross with arrows (means travel)
- * with arrows means chaos
- Circle with dot inside (peace)
- Triforce (From zelda, in that game it stands for the trinity of courage, wisdom and power)
- The number 2
- a lightning like sign (either harry potter or Eihwaz or Sowulo rune)
- Elemental symbols from alchemy
The way i would implement this into a program is probably adding an option to force exclusion/inclusion from symbols and grouping symbols into themes and motiffs that can overlap, such as nature, change, etc. that way you choose one or more themes and the sigil is composed from symbols in that category
Hey!
Finally managed to sit down and do some testing.
LOVING this one!
Really feel the style of Sigils from The Lesser Key of Solomon and some other old alchemical books.
Pretty great for a quick grag of a symbol, or as i do, take some, and re-edit them on photoshop with my digital tablet, to give a more "Handwritten" feel.
Pretty good generator!
I really wish I was better at programing, love your work! https://www.funvideogames.biz/2021/09/sigil-generator.html
This is intended behavior:
...As PNG sigils are exported on transparent background without glow. (post)
That's what people were asking for and it makes sense - it's very easy to add solid background if you have a transparent image, but much harder to remove it. I could add a solid background as an option, but it seems to be an overkill for such small application.
