So often in politics, and especially American politics, it can feel like our voices have no power, that we are ignored or cheated out of having a say in changing our society for the better. The Positive Political Impact Sigil was created to give magical backing to your opinions and votes, to give them strength so they are harder to ignore or cast aside. This can help at any time when you are voting or voicing your opinions on social changes, be that at on a ballot, a petition, a poll or survey, a letter, etc.

Intentions of the Positive Political Impact Sigil

Unlike the vast majority of sigils I create, this one was not built from various intentions. The whole image rather popped into my head one night when I was going to sleep, as I was experiencing a lot of existential dread and frustration at how the politicians at the top in the USA are blockading and gerrymandering everything to suit their own petty, self-enriching, prejudiced priorities. I am sharing it in case it resonates for you as well.

This sigil was created to uplift voices for equality and equity, as is emphasized in the incantation. This is illustrated in the small heart that starts a spiral of learning and caring, which results in voicing for social justice (the check-mark), which moves into heartfelt, strong action.

There are those who speak for prejudice who consider themselves “compassionate” people, that they are just “trying to protect their people,” but that is not compassion. Prejudice comes from a place of hate and paranoia, never from compassion.

Compassion and empathy encourage us to step outside of our own perspectives and recognize the validity of others and their struggles, especially when those struggles are not our own. True compassion and empathy will never lead a person to condemn others simply for existing. True compassion and empathy will never lead a person to deliberately create harm for others and call it love (that’s abusive, folks).

So, if you are here intending to use the Positive Political Impact Sigil to magically bolster your prejudiced opinions out of some misguided interpretation of “love” and “caring” for a select few to the detriment of others, you are wasting your time and energy.

High-Resolution Image of the Positive Political Impact Sigil

These images are provided in case you want to print this sigil for yourself. They are not formatted in any particular way, so you will probably still need to do formatting, especially if you want to print them on labels or stickers. If you want the black background, I suggest using a print shop instead of your home printer, as it will eat your black ink like there’s no tomorrow.

Please use these images only for home printing or artwork. When sharing, please use the image or video above with the incantation and credit (so people can find this page and info).

There are two primary sizes, in transparent background (png) or solid background (jpg).

How to Use the Positive Political Impact Sigil

You can use the Positive Political Impact Sigil in any way that is in line with its intent and makes sense for your practice. It is usually a good idea to use it before, during, or immediately after you take political action or voice a political opinion.  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.
• print it onto temporary tattoo paper and apply it to your body
• 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 to advocate for your causes.  The sigil alone is not going to fix everything, but it can give a powerful boost to the actions you take.

If you wish you use it as a focus in workings to help the world in general and anyone who needs it, you are welcome to do so.  Instead of focusing the sigil for your opinions, send the intent to help anyone who needs their voice for social justice to be uplifted.

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

Tattoos and Body Art of the Positive Political Impact 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 Positive Political Impact Sigil

I have set up the Positive Political Impact 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 Positive Political Impact Sigil

The sigil graphic with incantation 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 intended to do, in detail.  Sigils are most effective when the user understands the symbology and 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.

I usually use the method described in the excellent book Sigil Witchery, by Laura Tempest Zakroff.  You do not need to consider yourself an artist to make your own sigils.
