Is it ok to draw sigils instead of buying them? Is it required to buy them?

Yes, but for any actual work we usually draw it our self. Because that act of drawing is an act of making connection, or part of the whole process.

ah, if that's the case, if there is need for sigil to connect to someone or something that has no available sigil, then it depends.. how good are you at establishing new connections, laying new paths.. or how good is that person who's services you're planning to hire.

The sigil is really a connection between you and the thing it represents - it allows you to focus. Mandalas, Yantras, ... other forms of sacred geometry have similar purpose of focusing your concentration on something.

If you create one yourself you have added intent which helps build a connection.
If you use one created by another you can charge it with a connection to you with devotion or blood and other bodily fluids - again, to build a connection to you.

I hope that helps.

I actually posted something here regarding my Yantras. Just to complete the reference.

Do some googling and research about how to create your own sigils. If you are starting out, just drawing the established sigils from the goetia as you find on the demon encyclopedia (link at the top of this site) on consecrated parchment works well. Practical Sigil Magic by Frater U D is well worth the purchase in learning how to make your own. You can do great spell work with sigils, not just call spirits.
