I was wondering if anyone can point me to a good source for learning sigilcraft? I'm looking at a couple books on the subject: Practical Sigil Magic by Frater UD, and Thought Symbols Magick by Colin Smith. I'm also purchasing Benebell Wen's Tao of Craft (on Fu sigils/talismans) and am interested in qabalistic/Hebrew sigils such as the ones in the image here:

I believe Tarot and sigilcraft go hand in hand. An article on the blog Rune Soup had a quote that rang true to me (paraphrasing): Divination is listening to the universe, and Magic is speaking to it. Tarot is a form of divination in 2-D, just as sigilcraft is magic in 2-D. This is congruous with the holographic universe theory, which suggests that all the information in the universe is held on a 2-dimensional plane that is projected in 3-dimensional form, like a hologram. This is a model of the universe that is useful to me, magickally-speaking. I haven't ventured much into magick and I think sigils are a good place for me to start.
