That’s an achievable reality, even if you never become rich and famous. We want to be thrilled, to be loved, to be emotionally and intellectually engaged, and to be able to enjoy this rollercoaster ride through space and time that we call life. What we really want is to live the life that we believe - often inaccurately - that these people have.

Most people don’t fantasize about the hassle and headaches of being one of those elite few - a staggering number of the rich and famous are also utterly miserable people - but rather about the idealized life we collectively project on them. Sure, we’ve all daydreamed about being mind-bogglingly wealthy, stunningly attractive, absurdly famous, and profoundly influential, but mostly in the context of how those changes would be better than our current lived reality. Most of us don’t really want all that much out of our daily existence. Money is just one tool out of many that can be used to improve your life, and the lives of those around you. Just don’t get obsessed or weird about it. It may even allow you more flexibility as you go down your personal path to happiness. This very website is an example of that, as we turn a passion for the art of sigils, and even the practice of sigilcraft, into an opportunity to offset our coffee and bagel expenses. In fact, you may realize that the world around you is filled with great opportunities where you can both spread a little happiness and make a few bucks in the process. Finding a smart investment, taking a better-paying job, or hustling your skills to make your life a little better isn’t going to get you kicked out of the good karma club. There’s nothing shameful in having enough money to stop wasting your precious hours on this earth worrying about not having enough money. Let’s get real: We’ve all to live in this material illusion, and it’s way easier to do that if you have a little money to throw around. What good is money to the spirit? You can’t spend your way into a state of nirvana, and all those material things that money can buy are simply bonds and fetters, anchoring you to this brief illusion … or something like that. We’re supposed to be above such things, after all. If you ever want to make an enlightened, New Age, or spiritual person uncomfortable, ask them about what spiritual practices are best for attracting piles and piles of cold, hard cash.

This sigil speaks to the intention of mastering our anxiety, and even finding new, beneficial ways to use it. We may also need help and advice to give us the right tools for managing this hyper-sensitive and distracting warning light in our brains. In that situation, we may need to give our vigilant, self-protecting instincts something new to focus on. Left unchecked, this anxiety can eat away at our mental health, damage our relationships, and erode the sources of joy and fulfillment in our lives. This kind of anxiety is hard to shake, even if we’re certain - on a rational level, at least - that there’s nothing to justify all that mental and emotional effort.

It’s hard not to live in a state of readiness, waiting impatiently for whatever dangers our subconscious mind has locked onto. It may even be constantly flashing in warning, even if it’s not clear what that warning is for.

The trouble comes when that mental warning light - no matter what you do fix the problems it’s warning you about - won’t turn off again. It’s a warning light on your emotional dashboard telling you that something isn’t right. It’s also worth remembering that the feeling of anxiety isn’t always a bad thing. The last thing we should surprised by is that we’re all a little on edge these days. We’re also still dealing with the fallout from a time of historic social isolation, unemployment, social unrest, political division, and financial stress that literally impacted every single human being on the planet in some way. We’re uncertain and fearful about basically everything, from a terrifyingly likely environmental collapse to the dubious health-care choices of the person standing next to us at the grocery store. “I discover healthy ways to focus and manage my anxiety.”
