The Fibromyalgia Management Sigil was created with the intention to help increase quality of life for people with fibromyalgia.  When I recently shared the Sigil for Healthy Bones and Joints, I had a number of people with fibromyalgia enthusiastically interested in using it to help their chronic illness.  Although it might apply to some degree, I felt that a sigil specifically for fibromyalgia might be more helpful to their specific circumstances.  I asked people with fibromyalgia what they would most appreciate having included in the sigil, and this what I arrived at.

NOTE: Chronic conditions are CHRONIC. No sigil will cure a chronic condition, so keep that in mind when using this sigil. Instead of curing, the goal is to help foster higher quality of life through managing symptoms, increasing accessibility of medical care and other therapies, and increasing the efficacy of proper medical treatment.

Specific Intents Built into The Fibromyalgia Management Sigil

• Reduced chronic pain and other physical symptoms
• Reduced muscle spasms
• Improved biological functions
• Ease depression
• Ease the grieving process and accept that chronic illness is lifelong
• Improved sleep quality
• Medication is effective, with minimal side effects
• Improved quality of life overall
• Find and maintain balance between limitations, physical needs, emotional needs, and all other needs and desires

How to Use the Fibromyalgia Management Sigil

You can use this sigil in any way that is in line with its intent and makes sense for your practice.  Some ideas are to:

• inscribe it on a candle
• print it or draw it on a piece of paper and place it on your altar or somewhere you see regularly
• put a copy in your wallet
• use it as the wallpaper, login background, or screen saver on your phone, tablet, or computer
• make something crafty and include the sigil in your creation
• use it as a focus for meditation
• draw it on the body using salted water, anointing oil, an herb blend, makeup, body paint, henna, markers, temporary tattoo pens, etc.
• draw the sigil on medicine bottles or the contains for food and drink that supports higher quality of life
• draw it on a piece of paper or fabric and tuck it into your pillowcase
• and so on

Your rendering of the sigil does not need to be perfect.  Intent is what matters, so do not worry if you cannot draw it “perfectly”.  As long as all the elements are there, you are good.

Like any sigil, it will be most effective when it is used in conjunction with real-world actions.  Be sure to do what you can physically to treat your condition, and be sure to follow your doctor’s instructions.  The sigil alone is not going to fix everything, but it can give a powerful boost to the actions you take, and hopefully help you have a higher quality of life.

Please read On the Care and Use of Sigils for more information about how to use sigils.

Tattoos and Body Art of the Fibromyalgia Management Sigil

If you want to get a tattoo of any of my sigils, you do not need to ask me for personal permission.  Permission is granted.  However, I do recommend that you carefully consider whether or not the sigil in question is actually something you need working on you constantly for the rest of your life.  If the answer is no, temporary body art is probably the better way to go, even if you recreate it on a frequent or semi-regular basis.

I also strongly recommend using a temporary body art method to test-drive any sigil before getting it permanently inked.  This can let you test the impact of the sigil, including how placement changes the effects.  This isn’t just some cool design that you like.  It is a piece of magic and will have impact beyond aesthetics.

If you do decide getting a tattoo of one of my sigils is the way to go, I would love it if you showed me how it turned out!  You can send me a message through my website or social media.  If you post the photo to the internet, please tag me on social media so I can see.

Print-on-Demand Purchase of the Fibromyalgia Management Sigil

I have set up the Fibromyalgia Management Sigil print-on-demand in my RedBubble shop, so it can be more convenient to use for those who do not have the time/skills/energy to redraw or recreate the sigil. I have set the items in the shop to 0% commission, so the prices you see are the base prices. Due to my own health problems, I am incapable of doing order fulfillment or running a business, and as a spoonie witch I want the convenience of purchasing for myself as well.

Print-on-demand is provided purely as a convenience, not as a business endeavor. That means I am unlikely to rush to meet any requests for available items or sigils, and I have no control over RedBubble’s order fulfilment processes. I have not purchased or tested the vast majority of products available from RedBubble, but I have set them up in ways that I hope will be issue-free.

Sharing the Fibromyalgia Management Sigil

The sigil graphic does contain enough text to help clarify it when it is shared out in the wilds of the internet, but best practice is to include a link back to this article.  That way others who see it can find out exactly what it is charged to do, in detail.  Sigils are most effective when the user knows exactly what they were created to do, and that is also the only way they can be certain this sigil is right for them and their situation.
