Sigils of Power and Transformation FAQ
This page is for questions relating to Sigils of Power by Adam Blackthorne.
Q: Step 4 seems quite powerful. Can I use it with other magick?
A: Yes. Whenever you use the ’emotional transmutation’ found in other books, you can add Step 4 from Sigils of Power. It is one of the greatest secrets of magick that we know.
Q: Why are some of the powers the same as powers in other books?
A: This book contains completely new rituals for health, personal healing and many other areas. There is also a lot of overlap with other books. As I say in the book, having more magick to use is a good thing, and this is a completely different method of magick that may (or may not) get you better results. The overlap could have been left out to make a shorter book, but that would have meant withholding a lot of magick from you, which I’m sure would have caused more complaints. However, the book is not cheap, so before you buy, you might want to have a look through the Look Inside feature on Amazon, or download a preview and check out the contents. It won’t appeal to everybody, but if you’re drawn to this, it can do so much for you. There are at least 30 powers that aren’t covered anywhere else in our oeuvre, and many more new powers when you notice that these powers are actually quite different in the way they are applied and the way they manifest.
Q: Why is the book so expensive?
A: We try to keep price low, but the large number of high-quality images makes physical and ebook distribution much more expensive. The other option was to print small sigils and cramped text, but we’d prefer to sell a superior product, because that works well for you. Also, if just one power actually works, that’s probably worth the price of the book. As I write this answer I’ve just seen a review on Amazon that says, “Getting money out of the blue worked with my first try!!!!!!!. Unreal !!!” There are many similar comments.
Q: There seems to be a sigil missing. After the title Inspiring Others, there’s no sigil.
A: All the sigils are there. Inspiring Others is a section title – so it has no individual sigil. As you can see when you read that page, it introduces the ideas that follow and does not describe and individual power. Within the section called ‘Inspiring Others’ there are several chapters, all of which have their sigils. If in doubt, have a look at the Table of Contents on the Look Inside (top left of Amazon sales page) which sets out the Contents more clearly than they ever look in an ebook. The section titles (each with chapters containing the sigils) are: THE MAGICK OF THE MIND, INSPIRING OTHERS, EXTENDED PERCEPTION, FORTUNE, LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, BREAKTHROUGH MAGICK, SPIRITUAL MAGICK, PERSONAL STRENGTH, PEACE MAGICK, PROTECTION MAGICK, PERSONAL HEALING, HEALTH MAGICK, WISDOM AND EDUCATION, BUSINESS AND FINANCE and EMPLOYMENT MAGICK.
Q: How do I use this magick to help other people?
A: Please read the chapter called The Flow of Magick.
Q: There are many ‘sigil charging’ methods in other Gallery books. Can they be used on these sigils?
A: They can, but the purpose of charging is not to make the sigil more powerful, but to make your connection to it clear. We talk of charging the sigil with energy, but that energy is a way of making sure you are on the same wavelength as the sigil, that you have absorbed the sigil into your consciousness and that it’s clearly connected to you. If you’re trying to make the sigil more powerful, you need to ask yourself why. If this desire comes from doubt or fear that the magick won’t work, or an attempt to force the magick to work faster and more effectively, it may not be the best thing to do. A relaxed approach, where you assume the magick just works is better than trying to bash the magick into existence. Magick already exists, and only needs to be experienced. But, if you enjoy the sigils, feels a connection to them and want to charge them to feel a stronger connection, you can. I should make it absolutely clear that this is an optional extra. Use the book as written and it works. But if you want to you can use Light From The Dark from Magickal Riches, or the Image Fire technique from Wealth Magick, and there’s also a technique called Magickal Chaos Energy in my book The Master Works of Chaos Magick. In all cases, perform any charging before Step 1 of the ritual. Once the charging is complete, continue the ritual as usual.

Hi Adam:
Recently I have been involved in a harrowing marital separation (hopefully soon a complete divorce), then *WHAM* I was hit with the news that my beautiful 23 year old State Police Officer son has leukemia. I asked a coven I work with to create a pact with a powerful angel for healing; it worked beautifully and my son is in remission after approximately 8 weeks. But now my son is being advised and coerced by fear and intimidation to continue research treatment which will flood his brain with chemotherapy (this is what cancer research calls “prophylaxis TX”, or treatment “just in case”) This advice is mainly being pushed onto my son by my estranged husband who hates me and hates the relationship my son and I had prior to this illness. As you can probably tell I am exhausted and have almost lost my mind. But I have used your sigils book, Zanna’s book, and Damon’s books to stabilize my emotions as mush as possible. Truly they are the only things keeping me alive besides my 2 daughters. Now after all that sob story my question is this: What is the best sigil I can work with to help me STOP the love I have for my son and separate myself from his medical decisions. I need a way to stop the love I have and move on with my life. I know it might sound cruel or weird to some, but it’s my only hope at self-preservation. Otherwise, I will lose my mind. BTW, I am seeing a psychiatrist for all of this, but it isn’t helping the pain. Thanks to all of the Gallery of Magick members who have literally saved my sanity so far.
Hello. Your story is a difficult one to hear. As I get older, ‘cancer’ is a word that is heard more and more often – somebody is always being tested or treated. But when leukaemia in somebody so young is very difficult to take, for anybody. I’m glad to hear your son went into remission.
It’s also lovely to know that the books, along with your daughters, have offered support. But despite a very strong desire to help, because I do not like to see somebody in such pain, I have to be honest and say that I don’t know of magic that can take away love. I can understand why you would want to, and it doesn’t not sound cruel or weird to me. I won’t go into the personal details, but I was once in a situation where my fear about the death of a loved one caused me to shut down emotionally – it happened all by itself, without any magick. But the love never went away, and when my loved one died, I was all the more damaged. I wish I’d kept my love present, regardless of the pain. This is not advice. I can’t advise you on something so raw and painful and personal, but I can say that I don’t believe that magick can take your love away. It may be able to help you cope. As we always say, the conventional approach is essential, and I think even your psychiatrist would agree that nothing will take away the pain, because although it feels unbearable, pain is what you feel in situations like this. Make sure you let your psychiatrist know that you have reached a point where the pain is so unbearable you want to stop loving. It’s a very important thing to communicate. For supporting yourself with magick, if you’re using my books and Zanna’s books, you already have what I would suggest. The rituals can help, they can give you strength, but they won’t stop love. I’m sorry I can’t give the help that you’re asking for.
Hi Adam, thanks again for answering questions. I like to experiment and my question is about something I recently experimented with regarding Sigils of Power.
Before starting the ritual, I inverted the color on my phone, so that black became white and vice versa, so then the sigil and rings were white and everything else is black. What I did was during step 3 was I imagined bright light coming through the sigil as I felt the result, similar to how Damon instructs us to in some of his books, and it felt very good!
Since you are so knowledgeable about the material I just wanted to ask if there was any reason I shouldn’t do that, and if there was anything you would do to alter what I did.
Also is there anything you can say about what you think powers the magick and what kind of energy that is? In the book you say it represents the “pure essence of magick” and I was wondering if you could expand on what you believe that is. Thank you very much!
Hi Phil. No reason why not. I’ve made them flicker different colours on my screen – didn’t help, but it was fun. There isn’t much I can say about the essence of magick except that it’s a supernatural attainment of sincere desire. Anything else and I’d be getting theoretical, and in truth, that’s all opinion and speculation and doesn’t help the magick to work at all. Cheers, Adam.
Hi Adam
I am writing this query on behalf of a friend who asked me to post this for your attention.
Hi Mr Blackthorne
There is a problem I hope you can help me solve. I have suffered with a problem for many years, I am so desperate to be rid of it.
Through the works of black magic, hoodoo, witchcraft or some kind of evil work a dark entity has taken hold of my body. It causes fatigue, depression and various illnesses.
Its presence is felt more in my stomach but also my body as a whole and even my head.
I have tried for years, going to other people of help, but thousands of pounds ( I no long have that kind of money) later, no change. If I try to get rid of it myself I becomes angry and starts making horrible sounds. It has turned my life into the feeling of deathrow.
I have began doing the Magickal Protection; Sword Banishing ritual.
What I need to know is there something else I can do to rid help remove this creature?
God Bless
Bev
Hello. This comes up from time to time, and it’s very difficult to know how to deal with it, because my understanding is that a lot of the magick you list (such as hoodoo) relies – or at least benefits – from the victim being aware of the attack, and that belief feeds it long after the magick has actually lost power. I’ve worked with quite a few people who were convinced that they had an entity attached, but when they cleared up their own fear, they realised they’d essentially crafted a thoughtform, or even just an echo of some former curse. The entity was long gone. Now, this can sound really unsympathetic, like when you go to the doctor with real pain and they say, ‘Its all in your mind.’ But what I’m getting at is that whatever started it, and whatever it’s level of reality may be, the best way to tackle it is not by feeding its presence with belief. No matter how real it’s effects, it needs to be replaced with pleasure, and you need to conceive and believe in a future where it is no more. That step is as vital as any. As you can see, in Magickal Protection there is a lot of work – the main ritual, the daily SB, also Remove Parasitic Beings and Cancel a Curse or Supernatural Attack. That, combined with Banish Negative Energy, Cancel a Curse and Protect Against Psychic Attack (from Sigils of Power) is going to be more than enough protection. In fact, you might want to spread that out a bit, and instead of focussing on this negative experience, seek more positive ones. You can’t tell a depressed person to cheer up – it’s offensive and unhelpful. But you can take them for a day out and make them climb a mountain. You get perspective, feel better. Damon Brand cured me that way once, long, long ago! And in terms of magick that means not just focussing on getting rid of something, but on making the most of who and where you are, finding your needs and sensing the most about yourself that you can. Sounds a bit weird, but what I’m getting at is using Zanna’s 72 Sigils of Power to explore your own needs, the things that delight, the things that give you pleasure, how you relate to people. And Damon’s The Angels of Alchemy – lots of work on the self in there. Truth be told, most people don’t want to do this work – it’s a bit boring compared to instant cash and great, exciting results. But it’s the most important work. Even with protection, I’d say you’ll get better results if you look through those books and start to explore who you are and what you want, almost as though the problem you describe doesn’t exist. When you can see a life beyond it, and start to dismiss it, and find energies that are more powerful and beneficial, it will fade. The protection is enough to make it go, but you need to refill the space within yourself with more desire, more pleasure, more of yourself. I’ve rambled a bit, but hope you can get something out of that. Cheers, Adam.
