THE North SIGIL, in the realm of earth
This Sigil invites you to consider lineage, ancestry, integration, regeneration and elder wisdom.
What becomes possible when we think with Earth’s slow timescales and deep memory, rather than short-term cycles, in our climate decisions?
Record your response
Pause and reflect on completing the full circle.
Knowing
This Sigil invites you to consider lineage, ancestry, integration, regeneration and elder wisdom.
Thinking
What becomes possible when we think with Earth’s geological timescales and deep memory, rather than short-term cycles in our climate decisions?
Feeling
Fold waist over legs and touch the ground. Pause, pressing palms down as if composting old stories into soil. Slowly rise, rolling back up to standing, drawing grounded energy up into the heart. Repeat.
Doing
Adorn the sigil with a trinket in earth tones, soil, stone, greens, browns and ochres. Set intentions rooting you in lineage, ancestry, mythology and storytelling.
ELEMENTAL SIGILSart installation, and experience design by Melissa Gilbert (ØFFËRÎNGS | UnitePlayPerform).
Elemental Sigils is a ceremonial installation that invites you to walk the enduring ritual form of the circle. Across ancient and modern cultures, circumambulation, the act of walking a circular path around a significant place or object, has been used to honour, protect, or reflect on what is considered sacred.
Made from regenerative processes, closed-loop plastics, natural weaving materials, First Nations weaving practises and upcycled outdoor ropes and hardware, the Elemental Sigils stand as sculptural sacred sites of ritual, regeneration and repair.
