Celtic Sigil Trap
Celtic sigil traps are sigils that can be used to trap creatures. One version of the sigil trap is a variation of the triquetra, or Celtic trinity knot. For the spell to work, it consists of two sigils painted a distance apart, for example on opposite sides of a room. When one is activated by applying blood to the sigil, the person or creature located between the sigils will be forcibly drawn to the other and trapped there.
Bobby Singer knew of an old Celtic sigil that supposedly had the power to trap monsters. However, it never worked until he came across a soul eater.
