About
I'm a practitioner of modern magic, based in Tokyo. TOKYO GRIMOIRE is where I release one original sigil a day — a planetary kamea (a traditional magic square) wrapped around a central signature, drawn from Western grimoire traditions and reimagined as my own work. They are visual charms: images to sit with, not strict instructions to follow.
Each sigil comes with a short reading: its core meaning, the senses that support you today, a few to be mindful of, and a breath to steady you.
Two ways to use a sigil
If you're here to look
Gaze at it. Set it as a wallpaper. Screenshot the reading, and share it. Let the geometry hold your attention for a moment. That's enough.
If you're here to practice
Open the sigil in AR and place it on your wall. Sit with it. Breathe — 4 seconds in, hold for 4, exhale for 8 — and let your eyes trace the inner star. Use it as a quiet point of focus before you set your intention.
How the daily draw works
Each visit reveals one sigil meant for you. It stays with you for 8 hours before the energies reset for a fresh draw. On Android, it opens in Scene Viewer; on iPhone, in AR Quick Look — both allow you to anchor the magic in your physical space.
On the symbols
Everything below draws on traditional planetary symbolism as inspiration — a language for the images, not instruction, history, or any promise of effect.
The planets
- Saturn
- Saturn sigils are drawn on the magic square of Saturn — the smallest, a three-by-three, traditionally given to structure, limit, and the keeping of boundaries. Its lines are the deep indigo and lead the planet has long carried, a weight meant to feel settled rather than heavy.
- Jupiter
- Jupiter sigils are drawn on the magic square of Jupiter — a four-by-four grid traditionally given to expansion, fortune, and generosity. Its lines are royal blue deepening to a gold core, the open, room-making colour the planet has long been given.
- Mars
- Mars sigils are drawn on the magic square of Mars — a five-by-five grid traditionally given to force, defence, and courage. Its lines are vermilion banked toward deep crimson and edged in black, a heat held low rather than let loose.
- Sun
- Sun sigils are drawn on the magic square of the Sun — a six-by-six grid traditionally given to life, the self, and the centre of things. Its lines are gold opening into orange around a white core, the bright, steady light the Sun has always been given.
- Venus
- Venus sigils are drawn on the magic square of Venus — a seven-by-seven grid traditionally given to love, harmony, and relation. Its lines are rose softening into green with a copper edge, the warm, gentle colour the planet has long been given.
- Mercury
- Mercury sigils are drawn on the magic square of Mercury — the eight-by-eight grid traditionally given to the quick mind: thought, language, and the crossing of boundaries. The lines carry Mercury's colours, yellow shading to blue-green with an oil-sheen, the restless, iridescent quality the planet has long been given.
- Moon
- Moon sigils are drawn on the magic square of the Moon — the largest, a nine-by-nine, traditionally given to tides, dream, and the part of the mind that works below thinking. Its lines are silver and blue-white with a violet shadow, the cool, shifting light the Moon has always been given.
The intentions
- Protection
- Protection sigils are drawn toward the feeling of a boundary — a line you can rest behind, not only brace at. Nothing is kept out and nothing is promised; what the sigil holds is the sense of a held edge, so a space can feel more like your own.
- Clarity
- Clarity sigils are drawn toward one thing: making room for a single clear thing to surface when the mind is crowded. They don't quiet the noise for you — they hold a still place where one line of thought can be followed to its end, and the rest can wait.
- Love & Self
- Love-self sigils are drawn toward a softer turn inward — meeting yourself with the kind of care you'd give someone you love. They aren't about drawing others to you; they hold a gentler way of being with yourself, especially on the days that care runs thin.
- Abundance
- Abundance sigils are drawn toward the feeling of enough — a fuller way of seeing what is already here. They make no promise of more, of money or of luck; they hold a steadier sense that what you have can be met as enough, at least for now.
- Shadow Work
- Shadow-work sigils are drawn toward a quiet meeting with the parts of yourself you tend to look away from. They ask nothing to be solved or made pretty; they hold a steady, unhurried place to turn toward what you've set aside.
- Intuition
- Intuition sigils are drawn toward the quiet signal underneath the noise — the first knowing that arrives before the second-guess. They claim no sight and tell you nothing; they hold a stiller place where the quiet thing can be heard, and trusted, before the arguing starts.
- Transition
- Transition sigils are drawn toward the threshold — the in-between of leaving one shape and not yet being in the next. They don't push you through or pull you back; they hold a place to stand in the doorway, with the ache and the openness of it both.
- Release
- Release sigils are drawn toward a single gesture: opening the hand. They take nothing away and break nothing off; they hold the feeling of setting something down, and of finding you are still held once your grip loosens.
- Roots
- Roots sigils are drawn toward your own line — your people, your memory, the thread that runs back to where you came from. They borrow no one else's practice and name no one else's spirits; they hold a still place to tend your own lineage, in your own way, with respect.
- Dream & Moon
- Dream-moon sigils are drawn toward the rhythm of dream and tide — the part of the night that pulls when the day wanted ground. They don't read your dreams or steer them; they hold a place to let the rhythm carry, rather than fixing the hour you wish you were asleep.
The tiers
- Daily
- Daily sigils are the lightest in the drawing — clean, open lines for an everyday companion. They are the most common to come to you: the quiet base of the practice rather than its rare event.
- Weekly
- Weekly sigils sit a step up in density — a little more drawn in than the daily lines, made for the turns of a week rather than its every day. They come to you less often: a marker for the small thresholds a week tends to hold.
- Monthly
- Monthly sigils are richer and denser — fuller lines for the larger turns of a month. They are less common again, the rarer of the everyday tiers, made to be returned to over weeks rather than glanced at once.
- Eclipse
- Eclipse sigils are the densest and the rarest — the fullest the lines ever get, made to feel like a once-a-year card. Only a handful exist, and they come to you seldom; when one does, it is meant to be sat with, not passed over.
The Tokyo motifs
- Shibuya
- The Shibuya band rings the sigil's outer edge with a repeating grid of crossings — the scramble and its intersecting streams, read here as many directions meeting at one point. It is a mark of the district's texture only: its crossings and crowds, nothing more claimed of it.
- Shinjuku
- The Shinjuku band rings the sigil's outer edge with a repeating line of skyline — the towers of the ward stacked against each other, read here as a horizon you can stand small beneath. It is a mark of the district's texture only: its skyline, nothing more claimed of it.
- Kabukicho
- The Kabukicho band rings the sigil's outer edge with a tall, vertical pattern — the neon-canyon stacking of signs and light, read here as a bright, restless dark. It is a mark of the quarter's texture only: its lights and streets, nothing more claimed of it.
- Asakusa
- The Asakusa band rings the sigil's outer edge with a repeating pattern of lanterns and lattice — the old quarter's paper light and wooden grid, read here as the warmth of a place that has kept its shape a long time. It is a mark of the streets' texture only: their lanterns and lattice, with no temple or its spirits named.
- Harajuku
- The Harajuku band rings the sigil's outer edge with a dense, vivid pattern of ornament — the decora layering of colour and detail, read here as joy worn openly. It is a mark of the district's texture only: its colour and street style, nothing more claimed of it.
- Akihabara
- The Akihabara band rings the sigil's outer edge with a repeating circuit-line pattern — the lit boards and screens of the electronics quarter, read here as the restless signal of a place that never quite powers down. It is a mark of the district's texture only: its streets and screens, nothing sacred claimed of it.
- Ginza
- The Ginza band rings the sigil's outer edge with minimal, evenly spaced lines — the quarter's restraint and clean intervals, read here as quiet, considered space. It is a mark of the district's texture only: its spacing and calm, nothing more claimed of it.
- Daikanyama
- The Daikanyama band rings the sigil's outer edge with calm, sparse lines — the unhurried, low-key streets of the neighbourhood, read here as a slower pace held lightly. It is a mark of the area's texture only: its quiet streets, nothing more claimed of it.
- Ueno
- The Ueno band rings the sigil's outer edge with a repeating pattern of cherry and leaf — the park's blossoms and branches, read here as the turning of a season held in one place. It is a mark of the area's texture only: its trees and seasons, nothing more claimed of it.
- Metro
- The Metro band rings the sigil's outer edge with repeating route-and-junction lines — the geometry of the underground, read here as many paths crossing beneath the surface. It is a mark of the system's texture only: its lines and junctions, nothing more claimed of it.
The Signature
At the centre of every sigil is the Signature — a single, asymmetric mark unique to its planet and intent, traced from the magic square. It is the one part we leave undecoded: a thing to be read rather than explained, its meaning left to whoever sits with it. The rest of the sigil names its symbols; the Signature is yours to fill.
A gentle note: These are works of art and atmosphere. They make no medical, financial, or guaranteed claims, and aren't a substitute for professional care — just focus, calm, and a little everyday magic.
