This has been a hot topic among some of the area sigilizers in my town.
Do people here destroy their sigils after their "mission" has been completed?
I have always felt that when the goal has been acheived that I should destroy the sigil that i created. If it is one i am especially proud of I might take a picture or a scan before disposing of it. If their is not a clear end to it purpose(as in perhaps ("this sigil is to encourage my creative nature") I will keep it. IF it has an end to it's use (this sigil is to aid in the acquirement of "specific object or idea") i will burn it when this goal is acheived. Afterwards I feel that the sigil and it's energy is then cleared for my mind. In some ways it works as both a physical and mental banishment, leaving my mind clear for new projects. Ultimately I think anyone can do whatever they want with their sigils but I am wondering what members here do?

heh.
I don't think the ideas of one author, or even e few authors can accurately describe all the truth there is to sigils.
My sigils are sigils, not because of the way they look, but because of the magical intent i use when i shape them.
I can call them whatever i want, its one of the many freedoms i enjoy.

Cast your chains of dogma where you want, they will not find grip on me.

Just saying, with a smile on my face and a small sense of pride...

I think some people need to remember the origin of sigil magick, and that is chaos magick. And the maxim of chaos magick is still "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"

off topic:
my sigils only seem like mandalas, because of the flowers i make around them, but those flowers are geometrical figures rotated around their center of gravity.

The throat chakra sigil is a triangle rotated around its center at a regular interval. I don't know if mandalas are made that way, but i liked the graphical effect and found it magical, then i changed the degrees of rotation so that the number of triangles equals a certain number.

The triangles are totally separate shapes, and the flower is just an illusion of many triangles standing beside each other.
In other sigils i have used squares, ovals and other more complex shapes, which i all just rotate around their center of gravity.

I thought a mandala was one continuous shape, like from a spirograph, my sigils are not one continuous shape, but many shapes placed close to each other.
