					<description><![CDATA[In these difficult times, it's natural to find yourself feeling ungrounded and out of sorts. You may want to hunker down and hide. You may want to rage, fight, and keep going until you drop. Likely you feel some of both - and it can be difficult to strike a balance between taking care of your immediate needs and world, and doing the necessary work for change in building a better world. With this in mind, I present the Stabilizing Sigil. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In November of 2016, I put pen to paper and crafted the Power Sigil to protect and empower everyone who needs it. It quickly spread and went into use across the globe. 

As I look over the wide variety of shared magic sigils that I've helped to bring into being over the years, I always come back to this one. It's still incredibly potent and effective - and hard to commandeer unlike some other sigils that have been used for magical resistance. I think largely because it starts with the vulnerable self and works its way out to remove barriers and aid in recognition of the other. ]]></description>
