Only in the fire is gold proven. — Alchemical Proverb

They call it summer like it's a blessing. As if this heat isn't a curse we inherited. As if July wasn’t the sound of bones cracking in the sun, the scent of asphalt bleeding, the collective scream of a generation drowning in record temps and unpaid rent. You want beach days and bliss? I want revolution under a heat advisory. This month peels the paint off buildings and the masks off people. And me? I don’t melt. I ignite. Fire is not just warmth, it’s will. In chaos magick, heat is transmutation. The witch who sweats through her curse is perfecting the spell. Burn your sigils. Dance barefoot on blacktop. Charge your talismans in the furnace of discomfort. Every bead of sweat is sacred salt.

July is ruled by combustion. If your rituals feel volatile right now, good. They're supposed to. This is not a month for stillness. It’s for sacred disarray. Every heatwave is a verdict. The climate doesn’t lie, but the corporations do; about carbon, about cooling, about whose lives matter when the grid fails.

Let’s talk about energy deserts. About neighborhoods sacrificed to grid failures. About how AC is treated like luxury instead of survival. About how capitalism considers weather a weapon. You think it’s just hot? It’s marketing. It’s money.

Astrology:

Venus combust in Leo: Desire is volatile. Longing burns, so handle hearts with tongs. Waning gibbous moon: Time for introspection, gratitude, and destroying what no longer serves you. 

Little Did You Know:

When Echo first bled, it wasn’t crimson; it was smoke. She burned her way into existence, not born, but scorched out of some other girl who refused to stay soft in a dying world. She keeps matchsticks in her boots. Not to start trouble, to end it.

Echo Challenge:

Turn off all your lights tonight. Light only one candle. Write what the heat taught you this week on a torn scrap of paper. Burn it. Watch which word lasts the longest before it turns to ash. That’s your message to meditate on. Let me know what you learned in the comments below.

Poetic Curse:

May the ones who profit off your pain Feel their ice melt first.

If you ever need Echo she lives [here].
