How to make and use sigils by Krazyboytx on YouTube
Sigils and symbols are all means or systems of communications, and that includes graffiti, I suppose. What always interested me is how these systems can be used to exclude or protect groups. It’s unfortunate that they also have been used throughout history to identify and destroy simply by their appearance in the vicinity of the target.
What really fascinates me is the tradition of “invisible” or “plain view” symbol and code systems, that allow communication using the alphabetical symbols of a particular language.
