SYMBOLS WE USE

OUR SIGIL

A sigil is a symbol or design created with the intention of manifesting a specific desire, intention, or goal. It is often used as a tool for focused visualization and concentration. Sigils are typically created by combining and rearranging letters, symbols, or images into a unique and personalized emblem. The process of creating a sigil involves imbuing it with intent and charging it with energy, with the belief that it can aid in the manifestation of desires or bring about desired outcomes. Sigils are often used in rituals, meditation, and spellwork as a means of harnessing and directing personal energy.

This sigil was created by combining the two stylised vowels (A and U) in the band’s name, which is pronounced “magus.” The use of Roman script, styled to look as if carved from stone, required the use of uppercase letters and a V shape to represent U.

Together, A and U also represent gold (Aurum, atomic number 79) on the periodic table of elements. This leads nicely into the next symbol…

SUN / GOLD

This is an in-house developed representation of the sun in Astrology. It also represents both the sun and gold in Alchemy.

The base of the modern sun symbol (a circle within a circle) first appeared in the middle-ages. It symbolizes joy and the deliberate pursuit of rationality over instinct. It signifies the awakened mind, the drive to thrive, and the imaginative life force that resides in humanity.

The gold symbol holds profound meaning in the realm of alchemy. It represents the highest spiritual attainment, transformation, and perfection. Gold, symbolically associated with the sun, embodies the divine essence within all things. It signifies the union of opposites and the integration of the physical and spiritual aspects of existence.

THE EYES

Last but by no means least are The Eyes. These are extracted from a larger original picture drawn for the band by artist Natalia Wallwork. The eyes were ‘extracted’ and used in this form with Natalia’s permission and blessing. The green hue used throughout the bands artwork/symbology, and this website, is based on colouring in the eyes.

Natalia is not only a gifted artist, she is also a great photographer. She lives in Costa Rica with her husband, Graham, who is also a gifted artist and flamenco guitar player.
