Author's Note Regarding Magic Imagery:
Some of the symbols used used for the sigils are ones I made up, while others are lifted from various occult practices. I am using these symbols for narrative purposes only, and I mostly intend to use them as a more abstract representation of each character's inner beliefs and upbringing. While I gave some basic meaning behind Crowe's sigil, feel free to pick apart some of these sigils for your own interpretation. My use of these symbols are not intended to condemn, condone, or appropriate real life occult or Magick practices, and do not reflect my personal beliefs.
