These are like the PCB sigils I wrote about, last year, and the PCB talismans being created for the Electronomicon, but are cut to be worn around the neck or carried in a pocket.

Electronomicon Preview 1
By Joshua Madara on May 17, 2011 | Categories: Blog | Tags: Arduino, electronics, evocation, Processing, robomancy, sigil | No CommentsHere is the first in a series of previews of the Electronomicon that I will be presenting at this year’s Esoteric Book Conference. Click the image to view it full-size in a light box.
Tickets to the conference are still available, and the art show and book fair are free to the public, so even if you are not ticketed, please feel free to come by and see me and the other artists there.
Build Your Own 3D Sigil Generator

I am teaching another course at Arcanorium College, from June 6 to July 16, that will show you how to program a computer to draw a three-dimensional sigil of any word that you input into it — example below. You will learn how to change the sigil’s color, view it from any position, animate it, and save it as an image or video file that you can then use in ritual performance.
The course will introduce you to the Processing programming language developed for artists and designers. Processing may be used to generate an unlimited variety of visual or musical sigils or other magical devices (here is another example). Each week will expand on what was learned the week before, and the lessons will be presented so that anyone can come back to them and continue to learn from them. The skills you learn will be applicable to several contemporary projects in multimedia magic that we will explore in future courses at Arcanorium.
The six-week syllabus will include:
- Introduction to Processing
- Drawing and animating 2D and 3D images
- Interacting with the images through a custom graphical user interface (GUI)
- Saving images and videos
The course is available to all Arcanorium students. Registration fees for the College are UK£60 for 12 months or UK£20 for 3 months, which include all classes (~2 every 6 to 8 weeks).
Sigil Machinery of Dakota Crane
By Joshua Madara on March 30, 2011 | Categories: Blog | Tags: sigil | No CommentsDakota Crane “designs psychic machinery for the Invisibles,” which apparently includes some amazing drawings of a technomagical nature. I recently won this Twitter contest for an original piece by Dakota, which arrived this week and is too cool. Move over, Symbolic Hieronymus Machine; make way for the Heterodyne Acustator / Perceptic Inevitabilitron! [1]
Here is a high-res scan of the drawing on Dakota’s site.
- Cred to (((1/f))) and Darwin Frost for naming Dakota’s creation.
