I have an expressive mark making practice that I do after a shamanic meditation in which I normally draw symbols. I have a few that repeat. This has inspired me to go deeper into the practice and find further meaning. Thanks 🤗
I love this idea of ways to come into right relationship with place. I find myself having some fear around practicing with sigils related to religious programming. Being in deeper connection with my ancestors is appealing to me. I will spend more time there. Thank you!
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for being here and commenting. I completely understand the religious programming and also I think sometimes that can be a sort of ancestral wound too, like something we inherit on our dna from generations of beliefs. What I like to remind myself is to practice self-kindness as I navigate these sorts of sticky issues. And definitely reach out if I can help at all, you're not alone in any of this. 🤗❤️
🤗❤️ Wonderful! This makes me so happy, Amy! If it feels good to share, send me an email after your journey. I'd love to know what comes to your from the grandmothers.
Ah Jenna, I’m going to do a little research to understand the ways in which we can ask for a symbol for our ancestors right after I’ve finished typing this… I’m so intrigued and excited - in my uninformed way (as usual) I have never heard of ‘sigil’ before! Thank you so much for always posting something magical 💛xxx
Yay, Susie! I'm so glad this piqued your interest! Please do let me know what wonders you uncover. And if I can help you on your search in any way, please let me know. I've got some ideas for an ancestor healing class percolating in my mind. Any questions you might have would really help me put that together.
Jenna you are an angel, I do have a few questions but I’ll pop them in a DM if that’s ok with you, that way I can refer back more easily and I know I will want/need to… xx
Oh my goodness, I had no idea about sigil symbols and magic. I am completely enthralled. I’m just sitting here soaking in your words and symbols and letting this ancient way marinate in my bones. Needless to say, I’m soooo curious and open. 💫
I have a couple of sigil tarot decks. They are wonderful to work with and I have learned a lot from them, but what I discovered (as you did) it becomes more personal, directive and powerful when sigils come from within. Or from an ancestor like you received. I love that. What a special gift!
You are my go-to resource for tarot decks! I had no idea there was such a thing as a sigil tarot deck, but now I've added that to my wish list. 🤗 OR maybe I'll think about making some (just for me) cards out of my ancestor symbols. Ooooooh, I'm feeling inspired. Thank you, Julie! ❤️
Delighted to learn that I have been working with sigils in my personal practice without realizing that is what I was doing! Ordered that book - I'd love to introduce a lot more depth and meaning into my sigil-crafting, thank you for the recommendation.
This post made me realize that I want to start a book where I capture the sigils that are coming through for me. Would that record be called a grimoire?
Oh fun! I love that you've been intuitively doing sigil work without even realizing it. That speaks to such a natural ability! I hope you love the book as much as I do. I've really had fun with it. And, yes, I'd definitely call a book of symbols a grimoire. If memory serves, those medieval alchemical grimoires were filled with symbols/sigils. If you do put one together, I hope to one day be able to see it! 🤗
I love this so much Jenna! I've designed a few of these over the years, but I've never taken it to the magical extent you have - no surprise that they've sort of appeared and disappeared for me since I never imbued them with any depth of meaning and intention. I hope I haven't offended any of my angels! 🙏💜☮️
Thank you, Troy! I'm pretty sure I offend my guides and angels all the time. I can be such a brat to them. Thankfully, they are incredibly forgiving. None of this is to say that you've offended your angels, though, but that I understand the feeling. Lol.
I love this so much Jenna, there is so much sacred and ancient energy that comes through your work. I always feel as though I’m transported to another time in an immersive experience. These symbols are fascinating, I sometimes get objects, so I’m going to request symbols now. It’s such a magical connection. 🙏💫
Thank you, Louise! ❤️ I really love the connection that these symbols bring. I can't wait to find out what kind of symbols you get. I bet it's going to be amazing!
I've been connected to my mother through a meeting with a turtle @ hanama bay on the south Easter edge of Oahu. Now she is on my right bicep. Next to my ❤️
🤗 Yay, Joyce! Thank you so much! I will keep you in the loop on my plans. I'm thinking about forming a small beta group to start with and I'll send you an email when I've got all that figured out. Blessings to you!
I was given a symbol...maybe I might call it a sigil now when I first stepped onto the path of Earth Based Spirituality. I was at a workshop (the workshop was held over 2 years and this was one of the first weekend workshops) and I as standing in the gardens and just there floating above me was a symbol. It stayed there for a very long time...long enough for me to remember it by heart and then it disappeared . It was a symbol of Truth. I made a talking stone in that workshop and engraved the sigil into the stone. That is the only talking stone I have ever made and it is the only talking stone I use in my circles. I have used it now for over 20 plus years.
The symbol of Truth has also been a deep medicine for me... for myself, for how I hold space, for the healing that I offer...
Oh my gosh, Sam, this is one of the coolest things ever! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I would LOVE to see your talking stone someday. ❤️
I have an expressive mark making practice that I do after a shamanic meditation in which I normally draw symbols. I have a few that repeat. This has inspired me to go deeper into the practice and find further meaning. Thanks 🤗
Ooooh, I'm wholly intrigued by the phrase "expressive mark making". I'll be diving deeper into this myself. ❤️

🥰🙏🏻💓✨ I'm definitely out here generational cursebreaking. Thank you for your supportive response.
Oh my, I have a journey with the grandmother's next Thursday. I am excited to bring this question to them.

Absolutely, I'd love that! DM or email, either way. ♥️♥️
Perfect, thank you so much… I’ll nip straight over before I forget what I was going to ask.. 🙃♥️

This is beautiful, Jenna. I work with symbols too, but these are of a new (to me) kind. Always fun to learn something new 💕🙏
Thank you, Veronika! ❤️ I am in awe of the way you work with letters and words as symbols. It's truly inspiring!
I love this so much Jenna!

I’d love to learn this

Thanks Jenna, blessings 🙏💙💫
I have been working on a 'Stack regarding the power of symbols, but you take it to another level here! Love this... ☺️
Thank you so much, Stone! ❤️ I very much look forward to your stack on the power of symbols. I am always intrigued and humbled by your words!
Oh this is lovely!!!

Thank You Jenna for this powerful post.

I love this tiny sigil lesson! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to talk about more IN PERSON!!!
I would certainly be interested in an ancestral healing circle 🙏💞
Yay! Thank you so much, Rebecca, you made my day! I'll keep you posted when I get something together. 💕💕💕
