It actually is a little more in line with what Crowley suggests in Liber O than how I do it.<br /><br />If you use all four colors like this, you wouldn't use a complementary color. These sigils do not need to use the flashing color method.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-12634202383285944902023-05-17T02:05:24.702-05:002023-05-17T02:05:24.702-05:00I had a thought.

Since the 4 colour scales represent the 4 Qabalistic worlds, why not write the permutated name of YHVH coloured according to the 4 scales on the sigils and talismans? So for Taurus (YHHV) this would be Yod (Red-Orange), Heh (Deep Indigo), Heh (Deep Warm Olive), Vav (Rich Brown). Though I'm not sure where the complimentary colour should go.Samathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883615951812536611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-30569806390894827842022-12-22T14:51:33.800-06:002022-12-22T14:51:33.800-06:00No prob.

The colour I was asking about in this blog was from Capricorn and I just put the description on google and took the best fitting colour's code and plugged it into Adobe Illustrator and it matched the exact descriptions in your link. Colour codes differentiate between violet and indigo when 777 is so clear and I plan to print out my sigils.<br /><br />@Scott, I don't know where the GD got the colour scales from, but I think I read somewhere, maybe it was Robert Wang's Qabalistic Tarot, that the scales were discovered via ancient rabbis travelling in spirit vision and discovering these new angels long before Agrippa got to write them down. This also begs the question, how were the zodiac sign paths discovered to begin with.Samathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883615951812536611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-35503993487053353202022-12-21T14:45:00.568-06:002022-12-21T14:45:00.568-06:00@Samat I found this to be the closest thing to the...@Samat I found this to be the closest thing to the original color scales https://www.lelandra.com/tarotbook/TreeofLifeColors.htm<br /><br />Keep in mind those colors were generated using oil based paint (iirc) and I've been told the shades in this link are not quite correct, so to speak. But if you're not part of any order and you didn't / won't be presented with the color scales as worked with within that order then you can safely use these. As Scott said, you can substitute in lack of the real deal. Spirits don't seem to mind when it comes to substituting violet and indigo or pale green for emerald green and so forth. I think the difference in shades has to do with imprinting specific symbolism and imagery into the person's sphere of sensation (within an order) and not necessarily with spirit working in terms of feeding them to provide better results.Alex Scaraoschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918705565881852467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-29447807501272385862022-12-21T12:47:09.365-06:002022-12-21T12:47:09.365-06:00Basically you do the best you can. I find that I d...Basically you do the best you can. I find that I do a lot with the regular primary and secondary colors and do not always worry about exact shades. For example, purple for both indigo and violet, even though from an art context they are different shades. That approach seems to work.<br /><br />You certainly can ask for personal sigils and write them down in your Book of Spirits and so forth, and they generally will work. But I can't say I have noticed a big difference between those personal sigils and the standard traditional ones in terms of making rituals more powerful in practical terms.<br /><br />The idea might come from older grimoire traditions where you conjure the spirit using prayers and so forth without using a sigil, and then getting a sigil from the spirit to simplify the process, and it also is possible that the traditional sigils may have been obtained in that exact manner by practitioners from long ago. But I'd have to do more research for that to be anything but speculation on my part.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-8097800789308055632022-12-20T13:13:33.888-06:002022-12-20T13:13:33.888-06:00On the design of the sigil based on the 777, color...On the design of the sigil based on the 777, color scales, what do you do when you can't find an intelligible response to colors named like 'Cold dark grey near black'? Do you try to find the color that best fits the description or just throw grey in there?<br /><br />Also, there is an idea popular in the grimoire world that once a contact has been made with a sigil, you should ask for a personal sigil, like in the Arbatel, most probably for a stronger and better connection. They never explain why though. Is this true? Samathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883615951812536611noreply@blogger.com
