In one of my previous articles, we explored what a sigil is, a powerful symbol crafted to embody a specific intention and bring it into reality. In modern chaos magic, all of the sigils are newly created by individuals for their strengthening or manifesting their own intentions and desires. However, not all sigils are created equal.
There are some sigils, which are said to have been forged in ancient times as sacred keys, designed specifically to unlock extraordinary levels of personal, spiritual, and even cosmic power. Across civilizations, from Egypt to Norse Scandinavia, mystics, kings, and warriors relied on these hidden symbols to command power, and today, you can still tap into the powers held by these ancient symbols.
In this post, I’ll reveal 6 secret sigils for power that have stood the test of time, and show you how you can start using them to amplify your strength, success, and influence right now.
Introduction
Sigils are not just symbols, they are manifestations of your will. When you create a sigil, you’re channeling your intention, concentrating your mental focus, and imbuing the symbol with energy to bring about change. To unlock a sigil’s true power, the intention behind it must be crystal clear. When you’re setting the purpose of your sigil, think deeply about the specific outcome you desire.
A focused, well-defined intention creates a direct connection to the universe’s energy, enabling the sigil to function like a psychic key to that desired reality. At the core of every sigil is a simple but potent formula:-
Intent + Focus + Energy = Power
The potency of a sigil is heightened through two key phases: creation and charging.
- Creation: Crafting the sigil by drawing it activates the energy you’re directing into the symbol. The more you focus on your intention during this stage, the more powerful the sigil becomes.
- Charging: This is the process of activating and empowering the sigil with personal energy, often through ritual or meditation. The longer you charge the sigil and the more intense your focus, the more potent it becomes. Essentially, you’re feeding the sigil with your own personal force, turning it into a vessel for transformation.
Modern Sigil For Power
The above sigil has been created with the below intentions in mind:
- Protection for those in crisis or need
- Combination of the elements that make us all up: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit
- Recognition of the other
- Balance and equality
- Revelation of the seed of truth, directing it outward to find purchase
- Calm within the storm
- Recognize personal power
- Honoring the body
- Foster hope
- Facing and banishing fears
- Stimulate action that creates and supports change
For usage, you can make this sigil into a talisman, tattoo it on your body, trace it during meditation, place it on a candle, or even wear it on clothing, whatever helps you activate it. Unlike the above sigil, the rest of the article is going to focus on ancient sigils that have been associated with power.
Why Ancient Sigils Still Hold Power Today
While sigils may seem like relics of ancient cultures, their potency remains just as relevant today. Ancient civilizations believed that symbols were a direct link between the human world and the divine. They saw sigils as powerful conduits for communicating with spiritual forces and manifesting divine will. Two of the most prominent reasons as to why ancient sigils hold power in the modern world are their use as energy anchors, and the strengthening effect of time.
Sigils as Energy Anchors
An energy anchor is something that holds, guides, or focuses a certain kind of energy. It acts like a tool or a marker that directs spiritual, psychological, or emotional force into a specific outcome. In that sense, ancient sigils are more than simple drawings; they serve as energy anchors.
When you create and focus on an ancient sigil, it becomes a permanent reservoir for the energy you infuse into it. This means that even as time passes, the sigil continues to hold and radiate the power you’ve (along with a lot of people in the past) invested in it.
The Strengthening Power of Time and Repetition
The longer a symbol is used, the more it strengthens. With each use, it accumulates more energy, becoming a more potent tool for manifestation and protection. Over time, sigils can become almost self-sustaining, continuously drawing from the collective energy you’ve invested in them.
This is why many ancient sigils, passed down through generations, remain powerful, their psychic resonance has grown exponentially with repeated use. Now, without any further delays, we are going to deep dive into 6 ancient sigils for power that you can use and charge for your personal use. The section afterwards is going to give you a few tips to charge and use these sigils effectively.
6 Sigils For Power
Throughout history, certain sigils have been revered for their ability to unlock unparalleled power. These symbols were used by kings, warriors, and mystics alike, granting them influence over their enemies, control over the elements, and even access to divine realms. Whether it’s the six-pointed Seal of Solomon or the life-force granting Ankh, each of these sigils carries unique energy and significance.
Here are 6 powerful sigils from ancient times that you can tap into for power, authority, and influence.
The Seal of Solomon (Star of David / Hexagram)
This iconic six-pointed star, made by two interlocking triangles, is more than just a geometric figure. In medieval magic, it was seen as a symbol of dominion over spirits and divine forces, representing ultimate spiritual and earthly power. Often found in grimoires, the Seal was used to invoke angels or demons, acting as a key to command supernatural forces.

The Aegishjalmur (Helm of Awe) (Norse Magic)
In Norse tradition, the Aegishjalmur, a spiked snowflake-like design, was worn by warriors on their foreheads as a symbol of invincibility and protection. It was believed to radiate psychological terror, leaving enemies paralyzed with fear and granting the wearer dominance over them. This sigil is directly tied to strength in battle and personal resilience.

Draw on the Aegishjalmur’s energy for confidence, invulnerability, and dominance in the face of challenges. It’s a powerful sigil for overcoming fear, whether on the battlefield or in personal confrontations.
The Dragon’s Eye
Although lesser-known, the Dragon’s Eye is an ancient sigil representing inner wisdom, control over one’s fate, and the awakening of personal power. The symbol is a triangle with a “Y” shape inside, evoking the idea of seeing beyond the surface, gaining access to hidden knowledge and mastery over one’s path.

The Sigils in “The Lesser Key of Solomon” (Ars Goetia)
This famous grimoire contains the sigils of 72 spirits or demons, each of which holds unique power over different aspects of the universe. These sigils, drawn exactly as prescribed, act as “passcodes” to summon and control the spirits associated with them. The Ars Goetia is one of the most well-known magical texts, and its sigils are used to bind and command supernatural forces.
Power Use:
These sigils are best used when you want to invoke specific powers, whether for protection, knowledge, or influence. However, caution is advised as these sigils tap into potent, sometimes dangerous, energies. Proper ritual and intent are essential for safe use.
The Sun Cross (Prehistoric)
The Sun Cross, a simple yet powerful design is a circle with a cross inside it and dates back to prehistoric times. It is often associated with solar deities and cosmic power.

Power Use:
Invoke the Sun Cross to align with cosmic forces, especially when seeking divine guidance, clarity, or spiritual empowerment. It is also a sigil to bring harmony and balance into your life, reminding you of your connection to the universe’s cycles.
Charging and Activating These Sigils
Charging and activating a sigil is an essential part of working with its energy. While the sigil itself holds inherent power, it’s your personal intention and energy that truly activate its potential. Below are some methods you can use to charge and activate the ancient sigils for power that we’ve discussed:
Meditation and Visualization
Meditation is one of the most effective and accessible ways to charge your sigils. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.
Step 2: Sit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and take several deep breaths to center yourself.
Step 3: Visualize the sigil in your mind’s eye. Focus on the symbol, imagining it glowing with powerful light. See it radiating energy, as if it’s coming to life in front of you.
Step 4: Hold the sigil’s image in your mind, and connect with its energy. As you do, focus on the intention behind it. What do you want it to manifest or amplify? Feel that intention becoming stronger as you concentrate on it.
Step 5: When you feel that the sigil is fully charged with your energy, release your intention into the universe, trusting that it will manifest.
Rituals and Offerings
For those who prefer a more ceremonial approach, performing a ritual can amplify the sigil’s energy. This practice adds a layer of sacred intention and focus. Here’s a simple ritual you can follow:
Step 1: Choose an offering that resonates with the sigil and its energy. This could be a candle, incense, crystals, herbs, or even a personal item that has meaning to you.
Step 2: Light the candle or incense, and place the sigil in front of you. Hold the offering in your hand, or place it nearby as you begin to focus on the sigil.
Step 3: As you gaze at the sigil, repeat your intention aloud or silently. State clearly what you wish to manifest or enhance.
Step 4: Focus on the offering as a symbol of your energy being directed toward the sigil. The act of lighting the candle, burning the incense, or placing crystals on the sigil is symbolic of igniting the energy within the sigil.
Step 5: Leave the sigil and offering in a safe place for a period of time. This allows the energy to settle and grow stronger as you continue your daily practices or rituals.
Affirmations and Incantations
Using affirmations or incantations can be an incredibly powerful way to charge a sigil with personal energy. By vocalizing your intention, you are directly infusing the sigil with your power. Here’s how you can use this method:
Step 1: Write or memorize an affirmation or incantation that reflects your desired outcome. For example, if you are using the Seal of Solomon to manifest protection, you could say:
“By the power of the Seal of Solomon, I command spiritual protection and strength to flow into my life.”
Step 2: Hold the sigil in your hands or place it in front of you. Focus on the sigil as you recite the affirmation.
Step 3: Repeat the affirmation several times, with deep feeling and intent. Allow the words to resonate with your energy and the sigil.
Step 4: As you speak the affirmation, visualize the sigil glowing and pulsing with energy, activating with each word you say.
Charging With The Elements
Another potent way to charge your sigil is by invoking the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Each element has its own unique power and can help activate the sigil in different ways:
Earth (Stability and Strength): Place the sigil on the ground or bury it in soil to ground its energy and give it stability. This can help with manifesting long-term desires or goals.
Air (Intellect and Clarity): Use smoke from incense or sage to cleanse and charge the sigil. This helps clarify your intention and brings mental sharpness to the process.
Fire (Passion and Action): Light a candle and hold the sigil near the flame. Fire can ignite the energy of the sigil, speeding up the manifestation process and giving it urgency.
Water (Healing and Flow): Hold the sigil near water or place it in a container of water. This can help the sigil work on emotional or healing intentions, bringing fluidity and harmony.
The Breath of Life
Breathing is a powerful tool to activate energy within your body and direct it to the sigil. The breath is an extension of your life force and can empower the sigil with your own vitality.
Step 1: Hold the sigil in your hands or place it in front of you.
Step 2: Take several deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth.
Step 3: As you breathe, visualize your breath filling the sigil with life force. With each inhalation, imagine energy flooding into the symbol. With each exhalation, see the energy being released into the universe, carrying your intention.
Step 4: Repeat this breathing technique until you feel the sigil is fully charged.
By using these methods, you can charge and activate the ancient sigils, tapping into their potent energy for personal empowerment. Remember, the key to success is the clarity and intensity of your intention. The stronger your focus and energy, the more powerful the sigil becomes.
Tips For Effective Use of Sigils
Sigils are incredibly powerful tools, but to harness their full potential, it’s important to approach them with focus, intention, and respect. Here are some practical tips to help you use sigils effectively and maximize their transformative power:
Be Clear and Specific with Your Intentions
When creating or charging a sigil, the most important element is your intention. The more specific and clear you are about what you want to manifest, the more powerful the sigil will be. For example, rather than simply creating a sigil for “success,” define what success means to you, whether it’s career advancement, financial abundance, or personal growth. The more precise your desire, the clearer the energetic path becomes.
Use the Sigil in a Quiet, Focused Space
Sigils are most effective when you work with them in a calm, distraction-free environment. This allows you to focus your mental and emotional energy fully on the sigil and its intention. Whether you’re meditating, charging the sigil with ritual, or just gazing at it, the energy you direct into the symbol should not be diluted by external distractions.
Don’t Overthink It
Once you’ve created and charged the sigil, don’t obsess over it. Overthinking can interfere with the flow of energy. Sigils work best when you release them into the universe and trust that they are doing their job. You can carry the sigil with you, keep it in your space, or simply trust that the manifestation is already underway.
Use the Sigil Regularly
Sigils grow stronger with repeated use. Incorporate the sigil into your daily practices to keep the energy flowing. You can meditate with it each day, keep it in a prominent place in your home, or carry it with you as a talisman. The more you engage with the sigil, the more power it accumulates.
Release Attachment to the Outcome
While it’s important to have a clear intention, it’s equally important to release attachment to the outcome. Sigils work through the law of attraction and energy flow, and when you let go of the need to control every detail, you allow the universe to bring your desired result in the most beneficial way. Trust the process and stay open to unexpected opportunities.
Use Sigils in Alignment with Your Highest Good
Sigils are powerful manifestations of your will, but they should be used ethically and in alignment with your highest good and the good of others. Avoid using sigils for manipulative purposes or to harm others. The energy you send out into the world comes back to you, so always ensure that your intentions are pure and positive.
Record Your Experiences
Keep a journal or log to track your experiences and results when using sigils. This practice allows you to reflect on how the sigils are affecting your life and can help you fine-tune your approach. You might notice patterns or signs that guide you toward deeper understanding or more effective use of the symbols.
Combine Sigils with Other Practices
Sigils can be enhanced when combined with other practices such as meditation, affirmations, or energy work. For example, you could pair a sigil with a daily affirmation or visualize the sigil glowing while repeating a mantra. The combination of practices amplifies the energy and accelerates manifestation.
Protect Your Energy
When working with powerful sigils, it’s important to protect your energy. After charging and using a sigil, it’s a good idea to perform an energetic cleanse, such as smudging with sage, using salt, or simply visualizing yourself surrounded by protective light. This helps ensure that only positive and empowering energy surrounds your work.
Patience is Key
Sigils may not always bring immediate results. Depending on the complexity of the intention and the energy involved, it may take time for the manifestation to unfold. Be patient and trust that the sigil is working, even if the changes are not immediately visible. The universe works in its own time, and sometimes the most powerful results are those that take the longest to manifest.
Conclusion
Sigils are ancient, powerful symbols that can serve as transformative tools for personal empowerment, spiritual growth, and manifestation. Whether you’re tapping into sacred symbols that have stood the test of time, like the Seal of Solomon or the Ankh, or creating your own sigils for specific intentions, the key to their power lies in your clarity, focus, and energy.
By understanding how to craft, charge, and activate these sigils through meditation, ritual, and elemental practices, you can unlock their potential to manifest change in your life. As you journey into the world of sigils, remember that they are more than just symbols, they are a bridge between your intentions and the universe.
With each sigil you work with, you are creating a direct link to the energies that shape your reality. So, embrace the ancient wisdom and modern practices to harness the profound power of sigils. As you continue to explore, create, and empower, you’ll find that sigils become not just tools, but keys to unlocking new levels of potential in every area of your life.
