Sigils for yourself after death

[GreyBird]

All spirits seem to have a sigil to contact them. Can I do the same?
Can a person make his own sigil for his/her family and others to contact him/her after they are dead?
I just had a thought in my head.

The Romans made small figurines of the dead around the time of death. These were thought to be a way of keeping the dead in touch. I did it once, but second-thoughts and augury suggested to me I was being pretty damned selfish delaying them like I was. There may be other ways of construing the matter. The novel "Return to Whidbey"'s opening scene has an incident where the protagonist did that for his much loved dog. I think it drops some hints about how-to.

Bottom line, if you're cool with the link, try the sigil method. There is the question, though, of whether the sigil works more like a chain to a spot or just esoteric social media.

pretty cool idea, not sure how the contact piece would work. maybe Raziel since he's a spirit guide that connects you with other spirits can give you more insight about how to it.

or option b make an egregore to act in your place lol.

It's common for magicians to make a symbol that represents them, a lamen or seal or sigil or whatever. The more you identify with that, or the more you use it, the stronger the connection becomes. Some years ago I used this to evoke living persons (who actively encouraged this) so I don't see why it wouldn't work once they are dead.

There've been a number of grimoires I've looked through that give the sigils of past magicians that've become powerful enough to be listed among the sigils of demons.

I imagine it would be like posting your cellphone number online, could get kind of annoying for a magician who wants a peaceful after-life.

can you give the names of some of those?
I'd love to make contact with those magicians and find out more.

The most recent one was Gospel of the Ghouls, past that my memory fails me, I don't like asking for help with regular humans just on principle, that applies to summoning too, so I've never experimented thoroughly with the summoning avenue.
