			==Common use of Sigils in the [[POP Culture]]==
			The [[Thelema\|Thelemic]] Pop-culture [[TOPY]] (a/k/a [[Temple ov Psychick Youth]]) utilize Sigils. A proper method many students use is forming symbols from words or phrases. For instance one would take the phrase "I desire more power" and cancel out every letter which shows up more than once resulting in the letters (''d m p s w''). The next step would be to form a picture using the shapes of the letters left over. example:
			<br />

			<br />
			It is then empowered with semen or vaginal fluids and utterly forgotten about.
