Now I will discuss a sigil language, a canon of symbols, the particular use of which we will come to later. One possibility is to develop the chosen sigil, perhaps by applying the word method (whereby the chosen word itself serves as raw material) and combining it with the glyph of the major category. The four examples of Figure 23 clarify this process. You will observe that we are taking the basic symbol and combining it with the letters of the term.

Of course, these relationships are open to argument. For example, one could assign pain to the element of FIRE, which would imply a strong, nearly spastic feeling; pain within the element of EARTH would tend to be dull and lethargic, etc. One may also work with sub-elements such as EARTH OF WATER, AIR OF WATER, FIRE OF WATER, etc. Use your own intuition.

You may also utilize the pictorial method. LOVE, for example, might be ( ) or ( ) (symbols of “union”), but these symbols might equally stand for SEX for the same reasons. This leads us a bit further into the area of philosophical and psychological cognition and evaluation. If, for example, you consider LOVE as an all-embracing principle (which need not necessarily be endorsed by everybody!), you could perhaps choose this sigil: ( ). HATE could then—for you—be its negation (for example: ) or its dissolution ( ). For you, JOY might be the bundling of energies into ecstasy: ( ), or else it could be the blowing up or overcoming of fetters: ( ) or ( ).

You will note that the construction of your own Alphabet of Desire demands not only a lot of thinking and intuition but great effort and hard work as well.
