Requesting information Options

Good Day,

For a week or so I have been wondering around the internet. I've used Google and such in order to try and find something. Which I obviously couldn't find in a way which satisfied me.

First item is a "Wheel of the Year". Sort of a calender or anything similar to it which can be bought and put on a wall. There are many images on the net, but almost no place which sells them on some cloth like fabric. If anyone knows an adress which does international shipments it would be much appreciated. For the record, even though they are very similar, I would prefer a Pagan/Celtic Wheel of the year. Anything Wicca is not interesting to me. Simply because I don't follow the path of one and I'm very picky with what I want or don't want hehe.

The other item I'm looking for is a book. Lately I've been going more indepth into working with Sigils. In many books about rituals and summoning there are sigils presented to work with. BUT...I would like to learn more about sigils themselves. How are they made? How do you give a certain meaning and working to one? Such like information about sigils specific. Seeing I don't like reading texts from screens I'd prefer a book over a PDF file. If anyone has a few suggestions which books are most usefull for indepth information about Sigils and their mechanism it would be even more appreciated then the Wheel of Year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had no idea where to post it. Was thinking Flea Market and Book Reviews. So move it to where it belongs if it isn't here.

my own experience with what's available out there was so bad that i did my own - now i rely almost entirely on my own observations/experiences to set associations, and of course they change as the universal flow changes so associations from 50 or 100 years ago won't ring so true today just as we as a people are not what we were 50 or 100 years ago. BTW, if you do your own associations, you can see the effect of precession/planetary infuence over time - neat!

for a true celtic calendar try (you can always tell if its right beacuse there are no such thing as 'celtic runes' only ogham and they did it by trees, not months): http://www.celticgrounds.com/chapters/c-calendar.htm

as for getting a pre-printed or manufactured item, i wouldn't have one if it was given to me - time to break out the old right brain and create something special by the work of your own hands (and thus infusing it magickally with intent as well as info - who knows what magickal intent you would get in an item from a occult shop besides 'spend all your money at our store')

as for sigils, back in the day (windows 95 had just come out) i created a few angelic ones - it was easy in paintbrush (only drawing program i had back then) - based simply on alphabet and graphing, then empowering via ritual with the entity in question (the sigil is merely the name of the entity encrypted plus planetary associations, etc., and means much more to the creator than it does to the entity - must have been a leftover practice like the 'tetragrammaton' principle - nowadays we'd use the real name - not afearing the use of it spoken aloud)

for the basic principle try: http://www.wisdomsdoor.com/wb/hwb-sigil.shtml
