26th December


72 sigils that only witches (and/or wizards) can understand.

The concept is that these symbols are printed on 72 cards each with format similar to Tarot's standard system. The dimension of a card also follows the standard size; about 2.75 x 4.75 inches. Plus, the card's corner will be rounded, not pointy.

I too don't know what these symbols mean myself, but I want to let them just as is to invoke a sense of mystery.

Among them, I intentionally made one, the last 72th one, empty or as in nothing. Because it's intended to show that even the ever-intelligent witches still has something that they know nothing.

They're aware that they aren't omniscient. They humbly, simply just admitted that there's always something they don't know and that their knowledge is limited.

But of course, it doesn't mean they wouldn't want to pursue it and study the unknown. They're intelligent and curious, after all.

I've been planning this for one of my original characters who's a witch. And I think I've been brainstorming long enough, although there are some I'm really not satisfied yet, which may mean a possible redraw in the future...

But now I think I should move on. The next thing is just finding the right color scheme, creating the layout as well as the symbols, and printing them for real...

Though I don't know where a good printing shop is.
