This Processing project draws threedimensional sigils similar to those drawn with Kameas, but on a cube
instead of a square. A word (in the following example, “HYPERITUAL” — the duplicate ‘R’ removed) is
mapped onto a 9 × 9 cube representing the 26 letters of the English alphabet (the center cube is blank; see
table, below). Here is a video showing the sigil rotating on three axes:

5: decrease z rotation
6: increase z rotation
7: handsfree rotation on all axes
0: stop all rotations
The below image shows the positions of the letters forming a sigil for AZATHOTH. Click the image to run the
interactive program in your browser, which responds to your mouse position and buttons (click here for the
source code)
Enhancement ideas include interactive input for the word to be sigilized; toggle to show/hide letters; stroke
color selector; buttons to save sigil as image or animation; vector interactions with multiple words; various
maps (magic cubes, other languages); OpenGL rendering with thicker lines.
