Sigil Generator
Generates a graphical sigil on a 3x3 cipher grid from a spell or phrase.1
In collaboration with Lucile Olympe Haute, Institute of Diagram Studies High Priestess for Cyber-Witchcraft.
Created to make this sigil, but it can use any phrase, spell, or affirmation:
bind billionaires who fly to the upper sky from coming back to earth
Installation
The Python scripts are written for Shoebot, follow instructions to install it.
(Shoebot is a rewrite of Nodebox 1 so the scripts might work in there and/or in Drawbot with some adjustments)
Additional dependencies:
- Atom code editor with the Shoebot extension (optional, Shoebot needs to be installed first for this to work)
- Basteleur font from Velvetyne
