Day Twenty-Four: Talismans – Sigil Collage #DoMagick
I’m not sure why I felt like making a sigil collage today. I suppose it’s not so much a talisman as just an external expression of my inner feelings at this point.

Everything is alchemical in creation. It is filtered, synthesized, distilled, macerated, etc… depending on the work. This talisman draws awareness to the alchemy of creation.
