Since I have a creative flair I started to create my own sigils from watching videos on YouTube. After doing that and passionately liking the art of the sigil I decided to order this book and see what magick it had in store. We live in a Universe that is filled with possibility so why not give this a go and see what happens. The flow of the book is very inviting to read - concise and to the point. It does have sigils for any situation that you may need to invoke in your personal life but I see no reason why you cannot create your own sigil if a situation in the book does not meet your expectations. But as I continued I became very much interested in wondering if any of this would work. The reason being, from what I understand about sigil making - you need to charge your sigils to have them to work for you - meaning you need to personally draw the sigils and then energize them through a choice of charging situations, by either burning them, or having sex, etc.so you personally own the sigils. So I question if the sigils in the book have been already charged by the author and we are making him richer :) Granted I just received the book so I will be updating if any magical miracles happen in my life. But the sigils appear to come from various old sources which you can find at archive dot org. Just search for "The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic" if you want to understand magic a bit more or "Dictionary Of Occult Hermetic Alchemical Sigils Symbols Fred Gettings 1981" and "The Magic of Armadel" so you can better understand the proper process of sigils. Or you may want to search for "Grimoire" and do some research into that field of study but if you don't care to research any further and you want to try out the amazing sigils in this book - then I fortunately recommend it. All in all I much appreciated the books outline and will attempt a few rituals with the sigils. And I will be posting future updates coming soon as I have already begun practicing a few sigil spells. Peace to all. UPDATE: All I can say is that it works. Magick works. If you believe - which is a main core of it working positively - it will flow into your life everyday. And I was brought up in a hard core Catholic home - go to church every Sunday and eat fish on Friday. But let me tell you - I still believe in my God and I am thinking that discovering this was God's way of telling me there is more to life. And magick is that way that helps me prosper. Little by little magical things will take place. You just have to believe. Peace to all. Review: The magick works! - I'm brand new to magick but I'm quite impressed with the results. I've used three of the sigils and the outcomes have been consistent and fast. The results relate to both my external and internal environment: --- Situation #1: I used one of the sigils to retain a client. We have done good work for them and they had been satisfied with our results, but renewing the contract wasn’t a sure thing; it’s 2020! I worked with the sigil Be Seen in a Good Light the morning of a crucial meeting with the client—the meeting was to take place in the afternoon. At the meeting, the client finally gave us a definitive “Yes!” to renewing our contract (they had been noncommittal until then). We didn't have to nudge, try to convince, or cajole the client; actually, my business partner and I barely opened our mouths. The client opened the meeting by expressing their desire to continue our business relationship. Then, they outlined a timeline to work out the details of the new contract. The way the meeting went felt surreal to me. --- Situation # 2: I used the Break a Habit sigil to overcome a negative habit that I developed as a result of dealing with some health issues. After I worked with the sigil, that same day, I received a gut-level, intuitive insight that one part of me was sabotaging another part of me. Moreover, I clearly understood the reasons fueling the self-sabotage. I then felt a rush of self-compassion and self-love, instead of the common self-criticism for "indulging" in the negative habit. I experienced a complete mindset shift in matters of hours regarding that issue—the type of shift that you might accomplish after many sessions of therapy, if you're lucky. I know from research that self-criticism makes us more, instead of less, effective in all areas of our lives. But it's very different to know that fact at an intellectual level than feeling it at a gut level. In the latter instance, you “get it” and it transform you. The day after that insight and rush of positive emotions, I was able to start accomplishing tasks that I had postponed due to the negative habit. Again, the result of working with magick felt surreal. --- Situation #3: I had a heart-to-heart conversation with an elderly family member a few months ago, which didn't go as intended. The conversation went seemly well, but the person stopped taking my calls. I contacted the family member for their birthday, and they didn't answer my call. I left a short and sweet message and talked to another family member, who told me that the elderly family member had seen my call/message but they "didn't want to be bothered." I felt heartbroken after hearing about that reaction. I decided to work with the sigil to Recover Lost Love. The next day at Noon, the elderly family member called me, which they never do because they have trouble figuring out how smartphones work :-) Somehow, they figured out how to use a calling app (or took the initiative to get help with it) and phoned. We had a very pleasant conversation and they seemed truly happy to be chatting with me. I felt elated and very grateful toward the author of this book! I have more examples of how these sigils and rituals in the GoM books have worked for me, all within less than a month of using them, but I won't bore you with more stories. The magick in shared in the GoM books is more effective than most any other thing I've tried in my life. I can see the extra-boost from the magick shifting things at the energetic level and in various dimensions. The rituals are very simple to follow and the instructions quite clear.

The magick works!
I'm brand new to magick but I'm quite impressed with the results. I've used three of the sigils and the outcomes have been consistent and fast.

Fabulous and Fast!
Let me say right right off the bat I HATE reviews for magick books where the person just says it works and doesn't tell you their results, or gives the book 5 stars because philosophically it appears to be real magick with a lot of information but they haven't actually PERFORMED the spells. So let me tell you my results while they're still fresh in my mind. Each sigil is supposed to be worked for 3 days in a row. I did money out of the blue and make others generous to you on the same 3 days. THE VERY NEXT DAY I went to use my ATM for a small fast food purchase and it was declined...fraud on my account! I contacted my bank, who stopped payment on a pending transaction without charging me, and reversed the charges that had gone through. I needed to go into the bank in person to set up a new account (since I was unemployed taking time out of my day to do this wasn't a hassle). Lo and behold when the banker turned her screen around to show me that my account balance had been restored, there was about $500 more than it should have been! I couldn't believe they miscalculated, but I grinned and thanked the powers behind the sigil in my head. I quickly checked my balance on the ATM outside and then again on my computer when I got home to make sure I wasn't seeing some temporary balance that would go back down later. No, the 'wrong' balance was still there and remained there after I got a letter saying they concluded their fraud investigation. I can't tell you how relieved/elated I was. It's probably not best to do magick in a state of desperation but my account was getting super low and I was afraid I might have to ask my parents to help with rent. Adam Blackthorne says these sigils are to be used now and then, not repeated every 3 days, but with results like that of course I had to give it another go. I waited a week or so, then repeated money out of the blue and make others generous. Again, I saw results for both the very next day. I was cleaning up and found an old check my mother sent me (still good) for $50 that I'm positive wasn't there before. Got a text from my friends asking me to babysit their 8 year-old for a few hours at $20/hour. I actually love watching him and he's crazy about me too, but they hadn't needed me to sit in over a year. Third time's the charm right? I repeated these sigils (always on the same 3 days) once more and THE NEXT DAY I received a letter in the mail saying I'd receive $171 from a class action suit (yes legit) against my former employer (one of those scam "independent contractor" jobs), but it would come in 3 or 4 months. I also got an email from an executive recruiting firm offering me $250 if I qualified for their survey (I researched it--it was legit) ...unfortunately I did not quality. Because these results were a bit wonky--the delayed payment and the potential for payment but no actual cash--I decided I should leave those sigils alone for a while. Got results 2 days after doing the attract a job sigil. After sending out my resume for a month and half and hearing nothing, I got a call about a position I had applied for, but didn't actually want. It wasn't an offer to interview right off the bat, but an agency wanted to see if my skills would fit a position they had. I applied to a bunch of jobs in my old field, that I have experience in, just as a safety precaution, while trying to get my new career off the ground. This was a permanent job and I just wanted something temporary. As for the sigils of transformation, I've performed open the road to new opportunities, improve creative inspiration, and discover your material path. It's hard to gauge results for these since they work on your internal self. I will say after about a week of doing the material path one, I've stumbled upon some ways to make money online that I never knew existed, from trusted sources who've used these. I have to be honest and thorough in my review, so I'm sad to say the sigils for peace and quiet at home (the person who lives above me sounds like he's moving furniture and dropping anvils on the floor at midnight) , get a good night's sleep, and ease chronic pain didn't seem to work. I'm still giving the book 5 stars because the others gave me such impressive, quick results, and the author actually says these might not work. Maybe I have some underlying health problem that's underlying my insomnia? I'll repeat these sigils at a later date. I know everyone says they'll be back later with updates, but I really will, in the new year. Everyone get this book and take control of your life! THANK YOU Adam Blackthorne and THANK YOU spirits of the sigils!

This book is a "keeper" for my library.
I loved this book from the moment I read it. The concept is simple, and takes only a few seconds to do after you learn it. The sigils have already been created, so I don't even have to waste any of my own creative energy on them. I liked this book so much, in fact, that I waited four months from the print-per-order date (January 2017) to leave a review. Why? Because, in my experience, it is all too easy to get excited over a new concept before proving it works, leaving a fabulous review to share with others, and then noticing that all my energy went into the review instead of my work. I didn't want this to happen with this little book. Honestly, it's the simplest, most efficient, least expensive method of magic I've encountered. All you need is a few seconds of time, and the book (or the e-book, if that's your preference. I prefer the printed edition.) The real question: does the magic work? My answer: who cares? It doesn't clutter up my house with candles, incense, and assorted objects and it doesn't waste my time or energy. It also helps me focus on the issues: are my issues included in the book, or aren't they? If they are, great. I do a 15-second working and I can get on with my day. If not, then I've learned something; again, in 15 seconds or less. I know, you want to know the "real" answer. Does the magic work? Well, some of it seems to work, and some of it doesn't. What doesn't concern me, with this book, is whether it works or not. That, in and of itself, seems to be helpful. Magic, no matter how effective, is not a solution for everything. If we need a new job, we need to apply for a new job. If we need to get healthy, we need to come up with a plan for improving our health. Magic only helps us focus our energies. And, in my opinion, this book does help with focus and goal-setting. Very well.

A Treasure to Own
I'm very grateful to have found this book (or maybe it found me). I can't even remember how exactly I first discovered it, but I'm so glad to own it. I've only worked on two sigils in this book so far. Both have manifested in a short amount of time. The first one I did (Encourage Change and Transformation) became reality 6 days later. You're supposed to do the ritual three days in a row. After finishing the ritual on a Friday, I got confirmation that following Monday that the change and transformation I hoped to inspire within someone else was already coming. Then just 6 days later, sure enough it happened. The second sigil I worked on was "Money from Out of the Blue". This one was extremely quick. Just 4 or 5 hours later, after having done the ritual only once, I got an email confirming that I would be receiving a check in the mail for a refund. I had completely forgotten about this money, and wasn't even sure I would get that refund. The check arrived today. The magick happens in a way that feels almost normal and completely natural. That's to say, it occurs in a way that fits your own reality. I can see why some people might wonder if it's only coincidence. But all you need to know is that it works. I would only caution that you may want to be careful when doing the magick in the first section of this book "Inspiring Others". That very first sigil I used was the one to "encourage change and transformation" in someone close to me. It was for a positive change that they've also been wanting. However, in order for this change to occur, some chaotic circumstances needed to transpire. I learned an important lesson though- you never know what it may take in order to fulfill your request when inspiring others. Other people aren't going to react the same way you will. So a change that I thought could be easily made if they just had that inner inspiration, really required a more extreme situation to arise to shift them in the direction of positive change. At first, as things were starting to go bad, I thought to myself, "Is this a case of careful what you wish for?" But I just had to sit back and trust that the magick would find the least destructive way to manifest my request. It may have seemed chaotic at the time, but it was necessary to get the outcome. If you buy the physical copy of the book, you will also receive the Kindle version in your "Kindle Matchbook" library. A great deal! I'm very excited to continue to work with the other sigils in this book. There really is one for every life circumstance you can think of. The foreword to the book is very beautifully written and genuine. The author comes across as very down to earth and is focused on being as practical as possible. I appreciate this.

very helpful
UPDATE! I did more rituals to release addictions and to get someone out of my mind+heart. I had to knock it down a star because I was hoping it would help me release some addictions, and it didn't help. HOWEVER these addictions/bad habits I've had for a VERY LONG TIME, so perhaps it wasn't super realistic for these sigils to help with that. THAT SAID, it has helped me release a lot of guilt and shame, which is pretty freaking great! ALSO, I was hoping it would help me release my ex from my mind and heart, and unfortunately it did not. I may re-do the sigil to ease someone out of your life. I think these sigils are helpful when you have issues/challenges/problems that are not deep seated, and haven't been going on for a long time. For longer term and complicated issues/problems, I'd recommend Angel work or Demon work (and trauma healing if appropriate). These magickal workings are life changing. I started with a 3 day release negative self talk and release guilt and shame. I grew up in a psychologically abusive household growing up, so unfortunately I have a lot of guilt and shame from my childhood. I also have some addictive habits that were started when I was a small child, due to being the victim of multiple types of childhood abuse. I've done a lot of work on myself around releasing trauma from childhood (both therapy and ritual/magickal work). As I said, I started with the negative self talk and release guilt and shame. Second day doing the ritual was a really hard day emotionally. Lots of triggers and crying. Third (and last day) I did both rituals, I all of a sudden had no desire to engage in the addictive habit from childhood that started as a way to deal with childhood abuse. Wow! I'm now day two into build willpower, release bad habit and release addiction and I'm hopeful that these three sigils were help me even more on releasing my addictive habit left over from childhood. I love these sigils- and this magick- because so far it's worked very quickly for me, it's super easy to do, you can do the magick anywhere and at anytime, and its accessible for both beginners/newbies (which I am not) and more seasoned magickal practicioners alike. Just bring powerful magickal intention to the work, and make sure you are truly 100% done with whatever bad habit you want to release (or 100% clear you want to bring in xyz into your life). This book, along with Susan Schumsky's "Instant Healing" are two books I now consider "must have's" for every person on planet earth. Blessed be and HAVE FUN changing your life!

Wonderful Results Happen with Ease WOW
This book is written in easy conversational method. The instructions are simple and the Sigils WORK. My recent experience has made me ecstatic and I want to let everyone know that Magick can help and will help. Two days after I finished reading this book, my mother fell and cause was thought to be syncope. She was in the ER and then released to a Skilled Nursing Facility for special therapy. However, her terrrible pain was not relieved and she could not do ANY of the physical Therapy..PT. I used the Sigil to help give comfort to another, and all I wanted was to have her pain relieved. I used the Sigil in the evening and called my Mom the next day about noon, after she was scheduled for PT. When I spoke to her, she said , "well when I woke up this morning, I had pain, and then suddenly, it subsided! So, I was able to do all of the PT. I feel so much better." I was stunned to hear this wonderful news and to realize that the Sigil worked so quickly. I am so Thrilled and Grateful to Adam Blackthorn for his writing and to the Gallery of Magick for all of their books and for sharing their knowledge and expertise. Thank You

but my experience has been so awesome I couldn't resist
I debated on posting this, but my experience has been so awesome I couldn't resist. This is the latest after some other great experiences since I started with GOM. I started buying the GOM books only a couple weeks ago. So far I've bought (if I may abbreviate) Cashbook, 72 Angels, Protection, Seduction, Love, Sigils of Power, Words of Power. I made it through about 8 days of 11 on one 72 Angels and did two rituals from Sigils of Power (quiet neighbor and return lost love). Other than that I've done the rituals at the beginning of the some of the books to activate them for when I'm ready to do the works. I believe a resulting "side effect" is that my "spiritual help" is nearer to me than before and I am able to more clearly hear them (claircognizant) and they have recently helped me accomplish some things just based on my thoughts without rituals, plus more! Today's examples: 1) I was thinking of selling a property and got a call out of the blue yesterday from a buyer prospect who saw it today and plans to make a solid offer. Buyer saw 5 other properties right before mine but apparently likes mine best. I never even listed it for sale! 2) On my way home, I stopped for gas. While paying at the register (I normally pay at the pump), the scratch off lottery tickets caught my eye. I have not played a scratch off lottery ticket in about a decade. I last played the lottery about two years ago. I'm just not into gambling. However, after glancing at the tickets, about 30 different types in the case, my spirit help told me to buy a particular $3 one. I scanned the $1 ones because I just don't like to spend money on this type of thing, but then heard in my mind, "No, play this one, the $3 one." I did (just this one ticket) and said to the store clerk this one is a winner. The clerk scratched and held it to the machine and I won $60!!! 3) Then, later my niece called me. We speak a couple times a year. She lives a few hours away. I answered, "Hello, niece. You are pregnant. Is that why you are calling?" She said, "Yes, how did you know?" LOL! Truly she had not even been discussing trying to become pregnant ever before and I have not spoken to anyone else about it either. GOM = pretty amazing stuff! I feel like my psychic pipes have been cleared. Also, for whatever it's worth, my dog will not stay in the room when I perform other rituals, but she's totally comfortable lying next to me during GOM rituals. Animals are sensitive and attuned, so I have extra confidence there is no "bad stuff" in GOM rituals. I even had the Virgin Mary appear a couple of times to my right during the angel ritual, and I've "seen" a couple of angels during the rituals. One is represented by blue and the other red. Sorry for long post but this is exciting. The only "complaint" I have about the GOM work is that there are SO MANY fantastic rituals that will have a positive impact on my life that I get overwhelmed about which to do first...like a kid in a candy store. I wish I already have done them already. I probably won't recognize my current self after all the work I plan to do within the next year. GOM, thanks for publishing this amazing collection and having done so thoughtfully and responsibly. You guys are totally phenomenal.
