What is the Sigil Ceremony?
Some things are too heavy to keep carrying.
A belief that you are not enough. A memory that replays on loop. An emotion you were never taught to release.
These are not flaws.
They are unfinished stories. Unspoken truths. The weight of experiences you survived but never fully processed.
What if, instead of pushing them down, you transformed them?
What if the very thing holding you back became the foundation of something powerful?
You are not broken. You are unfinished. And there is a difference.
Release and shape your negative emotions into a source of personal power – your sigil, your unique icon.
The Sigil Ceremony is a two to three hour guided experience led by Lee Cuddis, founder of Ancient Voices and shamanic practitioner with over 10 years in the wellbeing field. Lee takes the beliefs, memories, and emotions you are ready to release and guides you in shaping them into something you can hold, a hand-painted symbol created by you, charged with intention, and uniquely yours.
Through reflection, a guided drumming journey, and a gentle creative process, Lee guides you from the story you have been carrying to the truth of who you are becoming. He holds space with quiet presence and without judgement, ensuring the experience feels safe, grounded, and deeply personal. No artistic experience is needed. No spiritual background required.
You will leave with a painted sigil stone, a personal mantra, and a symbol of your own transformation that you can return to whenever you need grounding, clarity, or courage.

What to Expect During the Sigil Activation Ceremony
This workshop is a guided transformational experience designed to help you release an old story, reclaim your power, and create a personal sigil that embodies your new truth. You don’t need any artistic experience, spiritual background, or previous knowledge of sigils. Simply arrive with an open mind and a willingness to explore your inner world.

Testimonials
"My sigil ceremony was one to remember. It took place in one of the most beautiful Mongolian Yurt and I couldn’t have been more relaxed and at home."
"Coming out of the mediation I felt pure clarity and with the understanding and meaning of my experience it made me feel mentally stronger to understand the path I am choosing take in my life."
"I would recommend this to anyone looking to turn their perspective inwards, spend some time in pure peace, and explore what your inner realm could mean for you."

Your Guide
I've spent over 10 years working in the wellbeing field, and one thing I've learned is that the most powerful transformations rarely come from adding something new. They come from finally facing what's already there.
When I began my shamanic training through a three-year initiatory programme with Second Sight Healing, I discovered that the old stories we carry, the beliefs, the memories, and the emotions we've never fully processed don't disappear when we ignore them. But they can be transformed.
The Sigil Ceremony grew from that understanding. I've been guiding people through transformation with Ancient Voices since 2011, and this work sits close to my heart, turning what once felt like a wound into something you can hold in your hand.

Questions & Answers
Do I need any artistic ability to create my sigil?
Not at all. This is not about artistic skill or creating something that looks a certain way. Your sigil is personal, not decorative. The process guides you step by step, and whatever emerges is exactly right because it came from you.
What if I don't know what I want to release?
Can I attend if I have no spiritual background?
What do I do with my sigil stone afterwards?
