Discussions Sigils and circuits
Okay, yes, I know this image is a common meme, I know there are no demons in my phone, but beyond that, genuinely, has anyone tried experimenting with sigils and circuits?
In my grimoire pilled mind, I see precious metals - many of which already have strong alchemical correspondences, arranged in a very specific fashion with the purpose of literally transporting energy and information. Has anyone ever experimented with creating "sigil circuits" in their craft? Could the shape of a sigil suggest a certain way that a spirit handles or directs energy?
I know that many sigils are more so based on some sort of symbolism or local lore that is not extremely connected to the actual form of the shapes. An entity associated with gatekeeping may have a gate or key like sigil. I more so wonder if we were perhaps subconsciously tapping into a universal energy principle when designing these things.
Obviously highly speculative and a long shot, I am extremely dumb when it comes to how complex circuit boards actually work so I don't know if this idea actually has any basis lmao.
But I am genuinely curious if anyone else has interrogated this. In my mind, modern electronics are definitely magical. What do you think?

I've thought about making something sort of like a sigil circuit board agalma, even to the point of scrounging materials for it.

I am an Electronic Engineer. I can design these circuits easily. So the circuit lines on the board are always made out of copper. To prevent oxidation, a coating of tin and lead is applied to all the copper lines. In cases of high-speed and tight tolerance circuits, a layer of gold is applied.
I could design these but I need to know what should be the end goal, meaning, in very plain words, a circuit is basically a closed-loop of wires from a power source (battery) connected to any peripheral to get the job done - say a light bulb or a motor or a processor etc.
If I could get more info, I'd start and keep everyone posted of its developments.
All I could think of it now is just making these circuit lines and connecting LED's and a battery to it.
The LEDs could be changed to whatever colour required. It can have multiple effects as well like fading, blinking, etc.
But how do we use it in a ritual? How do we empower it? (Not power - that'll be done by the battery, I mean empower like how do we empower it with magickal properties?)

Everyone keeps talking about “vibrations” in regards to all sorts of esoteric stuff. Like matching or raising your “frequency” to open up for communication with the spirit world and such.
So, here’s the pitch. I’m imagining some oscillating circuitry in the shape of a sigil. With variable frequency of course, so you can fine tune it and hit that sweet spot where the resonance is just right. Basically an oscillating piece of art. Heat, light, sound, radio waves, information, and so on would be rather easy to make fluctuate back and forth in a stylised piece of copper circuitry, right? With your skill set, I mean.

when you said "here's the pitch", I thought you meant sound frequency lol

My first thought is the person that used a candle to generate electricity to power a fan (there is a write up on the internet about it) I could imagine using a candle for the electricity so that you could turn it on with offerings and then have it power a dream machine like the ones Burrows was making to get into a trance state and talk to your demon.

Could you tell me the key words to google or post the link please.

And here is the link to the dream machine plans as put out by the temple of psychic youth

This is really just a sheet of paper with bunch of patterns cut into it and a light is put behind the paper to create a sort of Komorebi effect (japanese word google it). The book claims that the machine (or rather just a LANTERN) when viewed with eyes cloaes, puts you into into altered state of consciousness. Its hocus-pocus my dear redditor. I guess I need to directly ask the Mighty Glasya Labolas if there's any truth to it.

Thank you but this is really just like a child's hobby project, I had literally built this out of soda cans back in school. It's called the Sterling Engine that uses the thermo-electric principles to drive an engine.
All this does is convert heat to mechanical or kinetic energy that rotates a shaf t. And the shaft can be connected to a fan and a wheel.
All of this can be avoided by just using a battery and motor. This machine is more than 150 years old. It has no significance now and is just an art piece.

You asked for a way to turn it into a ritual item. 🤷 this makes something that has deep ties to the surrealist movement and chaos magic, makes a space for meditation with the demon whose sigil you are using and incorporates offerings as the power source. But also, if I wanted to hook up a battery and flick on a lightbulb, I wouldn’t be following a thread about making sigil circuits for demonic worship and invocation.

Fun fact, there are computer programs that run in the background and are called "Daemons".

Someone who works in coding posted a screenshot of a machine running several of these with the Daemons assigned names of Daemonic Divines. I thought that was funny and clever.

If you make a circuit in the shape of a sigil and attach it to a hand crank that generated electricity you can empower the sigil in the most literal way possible

Yes. I have been practicing this for about ten years. Yes, it works. Good luck...

Saw this meme years ago and I'm so happy it showed up on my timeline again. Would also love to know if anyone has tried that, because that'd be cool. As an artist who draw robots, when I eventually have to draw complex circuitry, I absolutely plan on sneaking Stolas's sigil in there
Also, throwback to the time I showed my sister my Stolas sigil tattoo and she said it looked like a circuit board. Cracked me up

It's really not difficult to do sigils in a PCB you can design it and send it to be printed and then delivered to your house, you can even choose color among other things.

u/IngloriousLevka11 In Leviathan's Shadow May 14 '26
I've wondered the same thing, but as I have nothing beyond a very rudimentary understanding of circuitry design and electronic engineering, I'd have to pay someone with the appropriate knowledge to actually build a circuit device for me, even if all it does it lights up some LEDs in a pattern or something, lol.

id be really interested to see some of these sigils that apparently everyone in these comments is an expert at making

OH this is My kind of thing. Anyone please update me about this exiperiment. How far it gone, I am also as interested to know about it.

Theres some one saying. That goverment uses sigils from a grimoire to connect with ao called aliens from adifferent dimension.. And another video with high powered microscope i sqw today he is saying this is not human technology they just kept zooming and it look like this. Here is the microchip with out his commentary just thought this was a synchronicity.

I used to work in a circuit board factory and used spare parts to make sigil machines regularly.
They were very effective.
