Pagan Sigils

Pagan Sigils is a comprehensive and illustrated guide to the non-Christian Symbols of Western Occultism.  A clear and understandable treatise covering symbols from prehistoric images to modern Earth cultures. Modern Western occultism is focused on the Judeo-Christian mysticism practiced in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. And its emphasis was on the conjuration of spirits by the magician. However, from the seventeenth century onwards, the knowledge derived from scientific experimentation eroded the spiritual influence of the church. Sigils are symbols used in magic as a symbolic representation of the users wished for outcome. With their origins in pre-history, pagan sigils were part of our ancestor's pictorial language.

This pictorial language was created during the golden age of symbol literacy. Following a millennium of religious repression and demonization by the Christian churches. this language was rediscovered during the 18th and 19th centuries. Since that rediscovery, this ancient language functions as a spiritual guide to modern movements. In the late 20th century, they were assimilated by Earth centered religious movements of Neopaganism.
