I wanted to reach out and share a VJ pack that I just released. I collaborated with a gloving performer and created some magic spell visuals to make a collection of concert visuals for VJs to use. During the process I stumbled across this amazing tool and really enjoyed experimenting with it and then compositing the renders in post-production. So I thought you might dig seeing the end result.

This is really cool! My sigils are barely visible there, but I'm glad the generator was at least somewhat useful :)
Hi, recently I'm working on a research and need pictures to test my work. I found your generator fitted well to my request. But when it comes to the copyright issues, I'm not completely sure if I can use the them on my research and publish the thesis. Could you give me a definite answer?
how do i export to svg?
"Export as SVG" in the context menu.
homestucks where you at
Hello! I wanted to ask you a question about the scope of use, so I gave you a dm on Twitter. Please check it out! Thank you for your wonderful work!
I hit the Slaanesh sigil after about 4 refreshes. Nice.
How would I export it to have the glow?
Currently, this is not possible.
WOW! These are Real Alchimic and Hoodoon Symbols.
Using this tool to make cyphers for cryptography for DnD
Could you add the ability for users to type a statement of intent to generate the sigil, similar to how it works on Trinary sigil generator?
As a practitioner of chaos magick, I wanted to share that while some of these symbols are commonly used in alchemy, they can also be used as sigils in modern practice. To create a sigil, it is necessary to encircle the intended meaning of the spell you wish to cast. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you need more informations about magick or looking for do something new in this context, I’m willing to help. :)
I don't mean to be "that guy", but there is no such thing as "necessary" within chaos magick. One of its core principles is the avoidance of dogma, and another is that reality is totally subjective based on belief. So sure, you can believe you HAVE to encircle the intended meaning or whatever, but that's not taught as a rule anywhere within chaos magick whatsoever.
for touch only, press and hold screen for a while and options will pop up ☺️
This is awesome. I actually love this more than the Rune generator of yours.
I want to use these as sigils for spells in a game but they don't fit that well. If there was a way to edit the lines and the images I could set them to how I like but that would take forever...lol.
Is there a way to make these look less alchemical (less scientific) and more mystical like magic sigils or runes?
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with magic sigils (and alchemy, for that matter) to figure out what needs to be adjusted :). Could you give examples of sigils that are too scientific and sigils that are mystical enough?
Basically something that looks more like it was written or drawn by hand and less technical. As far as an idea for what they may look like, take a look at the Nordic runes for inspiration here.
I also wonder if it's possible to set it so we could alter the lines and such to more of what may be needed.
I think Rune Generator produces runes which look somewhat similar to norse runes. I did some tests with the hand-drawn style, but didn't publish them as something interactive.
Any chance you'll update and publish the rune generator?
I think I will.
yyyyYYYYYEEESSSSSS
While I love this for random sigil generations. I would love to see this updated to be used with proper sigil generation. something that allows you to put the intent in then shows the breakdown and then display choices of different sigils that could be made with the intent. this would help many neopagans and Wiccans who are new to sigiles as well as others. If you dont know how sigils are made in the witchy world i'm happy to send you a basic guide.
Hi there! I didn't make this, however I'm very interested in sigil creation. Is it possible for you to send me that basic guide you were talking about? Thank you! :)
Hi there! I didn't write this, however i believe i can be of help.
First of all, i am not a witchcraft practitioner so i wont claim to represent them, their opinions or knowledge, however i did investigate about sigils out of curiosity/worldbuilding reasons.
As far as i know neopaganism is inspired by a lot of cultures so looking for staves/runes/sigilla in general may lead you to the meaning behind a few symbols.
There are a few methods of sigil creation but most of them have what's called an intent. Intent is in very simple words the desire that lead you to create a sigil. A few notable methods are using a pattern such as a magic square or witch circle to create a path, combining symbols (what this gen does) and chaos magic where you would use a fountain pen or similar writting device where the resulting symbol isn't really methodic and the "style" matters as it's a result of your intent.
As for this generator i could identify a few notable symbols:
The way i would implement this into a program is probably adding an option to force exclusion/inclusion from symbols and grouping symbols into themes and motiffs that can overlap, such as nature, change, etc. that way you choose one or more themes and the sigil is composed from symbols in that category
feel free to message me
Very nice tool for random sigils.
I think there could be a downloadable version, or just an addition to the browser version, where you can edit the sigil yourself and choose what symbols to combine, where and whatnot.
Great generator tho, I love. Definitely going to use it for some stuff, and of course I'll credit.
managed to get the "female" symbol. pretty cool generator.![]()
This game OBSOLUTELY amazing!!!!
It's perfect! This generator makes incrdibles "sigil" (?) !!! I Love-it! Thankyou!!!
sigilla or sigils.
okay thank i will know the next time ;) (sorry, i don't speak english i'm french ) ^^
For what it is worth, where I'm from "sigils" is what people say, regardless of anything else.
Hey!
Finally managed to sit down and do some testing.
LOVING this one!
Really feel the style of Sigils from The Lesser Key of Solomon and some other old alchemical books.
Pretty great for a quick grag of a symbol, or as i do, take some, and re-edit them on photoshop with my digital tablet, to give a more "Handwritten" feel.
Pretty good generator!
Thanks! Maybe I will implement "handwritten" style as an option.
he happy
How am I just now getting a notification for this?
Thank you for making this. It’s unbelievably helpful.
⊃ω⊂
Any chance you could explain how you did this generator (like you did in this tuto) ? Awesome work !
Thanks! I'll probably write a post about a bit later.
I really wish I was better at programing, love your work! https://www.funvideogames.biz/2021/09/sigil-generator.html
Outstanding!
I got Harry potter
Yet another outstanding project by Watabou.
they said *w*
Awesome, is there a way to export it with the colors I have chosen?
Right-click a sigil and choose "Export as PNG" or "Export as SVG".
For whatever reason, it does not export the background color. At least not with PNG.
This is intended behavior:
That's what people were asking for and it makes sense - it's very easy to add solid background if you have a transparent image, but much harder to remove it. I could add a solid background as an option, but it seems to be an overkill for such small application.
I figured it out, it is awesome.
Great ! Almost perfect at first try.
Inferno style may be a little too thick to recognize some minor details. I'd love a "regal" style gold (embossed?) on blue/purple.
Thanks!
You can adjust the thickness of strokes in that dialog as well as create your own own style and save it if needed.
Wonderful as always! :D
Will saving the json files do anything useful
Really cool! Although i would wish for some option to prevent generation of the exact same sigils. And also maybe custom grid size (NxN sigils)
![]()
awesome !!!
Lovely stuff. Great already, but my suggestion would be to chosse a sigil style as well (linear, round, random, etc.), however the randomness helps with creativity, so take that as you will.
I agree. I tend to favor straight lines and dots over curves for the style I want.
Excellent !
Great job! Thank you
Just what I needed, you are great
