The [[Rosicrucian]] method of creating sigils for both summoning or intention-setting has been in use since at least the 1930s. It is in widespread use among modern practitioners of [[ritual magic]], regardless of their specific magical tradition. [[Occultist]] [[Damien Echols]] has helped popularize this method and his 2022 book, ''Ritual'', focuses on the creation and use of sigils in magical practice. | The [[Rosicrucian]] method of creating sigils for both summoning or intention-setting has been in use since at least the 1930s.

The Rose Cross method utilizes a standard template over which a series of lines are drawn connecting the letters together which spell out a simple phrase or single word the magician wishes to invoke. For example, the word "love" or "wealth" might be chosen. If they wanted to summon a specific spirit, they would utilize the name of that spirit. | The Rose Cross method utilizes a standard template over which a series of lines are drawn connecting the letters together which spell out a simple phrase or single word the [[magician]] wishes to invoke.
