Artwitches Against ICE

not as an escape from the world, but as a way to root intention into action. I was recently reminded that ritual is the act of making intention manifest. With that in mind, I created a set of sigils to anchor my actions during this time. They are not symbols meant to replace work in the material world—they are companions to it.

Staying engaged. Staying grounded. Staying with community. Staying informed in the face of the tactics of cruelty and horror.
This is paramount.
Journal. Rest. Read. Connect with others. Express Joy even when the world is burning. Go to Protests. Donate resources and time. Witness.

I crafted a zine and a sticker sheet to accompany my sigils. Feel free to print and disperse widely.

• Sigils transform your manifesto into a symbol which speaks to the unconscious and transcends language.

• Distill your potent phrase into a simple, cryptic shape to amplify its power while shielding it from the opposition’s gaze.

• Embed your calls to action or radical blessings without having to explain your mission.

Blessed Be.
