It seems that a sigil is, most commonly considered, a symbol used in magic. That sets off a loud warning signal in my spirituality, one I don’t want to ignore.

According to several passages in the Bible (Jeremiah 23:13-24; Deuteronomy 13:1-5; 2 Peter 2:1), God had no love for false prophets because they were directly and harmfully affecting the people He created and loved.
