![]() ![]() Throughout history, the most accessible uniform background has been the sky. They are only noticeable against a consistent uniform background. The vast majority of the time, we don’t notice these cells. We can see our own white blood cells inside the eye vasculature only because they’re so close to our retina that they appear magnified, but they are way too close to focus on. These tiny cells would be invisible to the naked eye in the context of a drop of blood outside the body. The most easily replicated entoptic phenomenon is “blue-sky sprites.” According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, in a completely normal eye, the white blood cells moving through the blood vessels overlaying the retina are visible. The easiest way to understand this objective occurrence is to experience it. In medical context, an entoptic phenomenon is seeing images that are coming from inside one’s own eyeball. The original concept comes from medicine. What are Entoptic Phenomena? The calls are coming from inside the house Tempest’s books correlate the basic symbols of ancient cave art-universal sign shapes that humans have imbued with meaning-with the concept of entoptic phenomena. In other words, the human who creates the symbol is both the agent of its creation, and downloading the form of the symbol from a different level of consciousness.Īnd yet, beyond meaning and abstract representation of concepts, there does exist some interesting universality to the basic physical shapes and signs used in sigil crafting. There may however be some mystical universal form that human-derived sigils are attempting to replicate. As Becky teaches, every symbol we believe to be universal is actually subject to alternate interpretation between different cultures. There’s no universal language or alphabet of symbols in general. ![]() The physical form of a sigil is just a complex symbol made up of other less complex symbols. ![]() A sigil is different from a crest or logo in that it mystically contains inherent magical power, rather than just serving as a representation of an entity or concept. Similar to a logo, a sigil is an abstract design that represents a complex concept. This conveniently also implies that the purpose of a sigil is to manifest some sort of magick. Tempest’s definition of a sigil is a mark created by humans believed to have magical powers. Show Notes: The Art of Crafting Sigils What is a sigil, vs crest, logo, or pictograph?
