While reading through "Enochian World of Aleister Crowley" I came upon this phrase:

The large wax version on display at the British Museum is slightly different.
For example on the actual wax version, there are 7 crosses on each of
the 7 bars making up the main heptagram. The illustration shows only
three bars with 7 crosses the other 4 containing only 3.


Can anyone confirm this?

Yay, I got mine done! I went for 7 crosses on every bar except on the Heeoa bar since that how it looks to me looking from the picture.

For those who are intimidated by the amount of work making the Sigillum seems to demand, it's not really that much.

What it took to make mine:

A christmas cookie tin ($10)
A hobby knife ($5)
Purified beeswax ($50, can be bought online from stores that sell candle making supplies)
Around 2-3 hrs to melt the beeswax in the oven (80-100 C, 175-200 F), let it cool overnight
Around 2 hrs to make the Sigillum

I did the Sigillum by printing out a 9" diameter copy of it and placed it on top of the beeswax plate. I then carved
the Sigillum out by cutting through the copy one part at a time starting from the edges moving towards the center.

Surprisingly easy and painless.
