What is a Pythagorean sigil?

A sigil is a symbol that holds a wish. The Pythagorean method builds it from numerology: every letter of your statement becomes a number from 1 to 9, using the Pythagorean table below. Those numbers sit on a grid, and the line that joins them in order is your sigil.

How the line is drawn

Start at the first number and draw a line to the next, then the next, until the end. A small circle marks where you began and a short bar marks where you finished. Neighbouring identical numbers are joined into one point. Some practitioners remove vowels and repeated letters first, as in Austin Osman Spare’s method, which is why those are options.

Which grid should I use?

The keypad grid lays 1 to 9 out like a phone. The Lo Shu square is the magic square of Saturn, where every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. The Pythagorean rows grid runs the numbers down in columns. They give three different shapes for the same words, so choose the one that feels right.

Charging your sigil

Many practitioners draw the sigil by hand, focus on the intent until it feels charged, then release it by burning it, hiding it or simply looking away and forgetting it. There is no single right way.

About this tool

Sigil Sage converts the letters of your will into numbers with the Pythagorean table (A to I are 1 to 9, repeating), places them on a 3 by 3 grid and joins them in order. The result is a clean line sigil you can save, print or draw by hand.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a Pythagorean sigil?

Write your intent, turn each letter into a number from 1 to 9 with the Pythagorean table, and draw a line through those numbers on a grid in the order they appear.

Should I remove vowels and repeated letters?

It is optional. Removing them follows the traditional method of Austin Osman Spare and makes a simpler sigil. Keeping them gives a longer, more detailed one.

Can I save my sigil?

Yes. Save it as a vector SVG or a high-resolution PNG, or copy a link that rebuilds the same sigil. Everything is made in your browser and your text is never sent anywhere.
