Come and learn to create your own magic symbol. The artist Otilia Martin Gonzalez will host Sigils workshop for teenagers in Sólheimar City Library.

Sigils are magic symbols that represent an intention, something you would like to bring to your life. In this workshop you will learn what Sigils are, and how you can use them. Otilia will guide you through the process of Sigil creation and you will learn different methods to visualise your intentions into a symbol. At the end of the workshop, you will have created several sigils that you can use in different ways.
