How to make your own Sigillum Dei Aemeth

from beeswax

You will need:

One: Double boiler (pan with slightly boiling water and jug inside it)

Two: 1,2 kg of pure beeswas blocks (not big solid ring) - you can buy them on ebay, there are good deals.
Three: New baking tin for cakes 25 cm in diameter (the reason behind that the diameter is more than 9 inches is the wax will shrink and you always can cut the wax out) and more than 3 cm tall (again, height is more than 1.5 inch for easy removal)
Four: Optional: jam thermometer, but not essential as you will see if it’s melting or not

Bring pan with water to boil (do not put too much water otherwise the jug will float), reduce the fire and place the metal jug (of you can use big metal coffee jar) inside.
Add blocks of wax one by one, wait them to melt. It took me about 40 minutes to melt 1 kg. But do not leave it unattended. Make sure the water is slightly bubbling, but not hard boiling.

Oil the baking form tin with sunflower oil. Mark the 3,3 cm level height.

When all wax is melted pour liquid into the tin up to your mark.

Let it set – it will take about 3 hours or more. When chilled place the tin in the fridge for night. It will shrink a bit there and the removal should be easy.

Now time to carve on it.

I have used knife with the thin blade and the sewing machine needles in different thicknesses. You can purchase proper wax carving tools but if you are not interested in mass production you do not need them.

Print the Sigillum up to the size of your disk and apply to the disk. Cut all lines through the paper in order from the outside to inside with the knife. Use the metal ruler for straight lines (they are not really straight as you will find out). Remove the paper and carve all the necessary names and symbols by needles.

I did separate my carving activity: one section per evening due to main factor – job.

You will be truly delighted when you will hold the disk in your hands. I hope.

Good luck. Please ask if you have more questions.

P.S. be careful with the wax, do not overheat it and try not to get any on your skin (unless it is your favorite sex play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )
P.P.S If you have some wax left in the jug reheat/ reuse it for candles… and this is another story.

Off the top of my head it is used for skrying...when a crystal ball or shew stone etc. is placed in it's center then all visions obtained will be truthful ones.
