#offensive magic

“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” ~ Walt Whitman

I use to say, “it’s impossible to sell your soul, regardless of how badly you want wealth and fame,” but the responses I’d get would be, “but it *has* to be! unless Christianity has been lying to me all this time.”[1]; then I use to say, “souls are a dime a dozen, everyone has one, why would anyone want yours?” and the response was generally, “but it’s all I have.”[2]

So, here’s my new approach, in exchange for learning magic I want you to devote your time and energy in taking down Trump, MAGA, the Pro-Life movement and the Republican Party. Magic to fight tyranny involves a practice known as #MagicResistance, which uses rituals, spells and prayers to impede oppressive political movements and authoritarian figures. These workings are viewed by many as a form of spiritual self-defense or a way to administer social justice when mundane legal systems fail.

Here’s your first lesson and it involve something near and dear to my heart, Reproductive Rights Protection:

The Reproductive Rights Protection ritual, titled "Hands Off, Laws Off: Hekate Invocation for Reproductive Rights," is a specialized magical working designed to protect bodily autonomy and safeguard women's health clinics and providers. )(*)( Purpose and Intent This spell is used to defend the right to choose and to target specific politicians, judges, or preachers who lead initiatives to restrict reproductive freedoms. The ritual uses sympathetic magic to overpower these figures with the practitioner's own personal and power. )(*)( Timing and Environment Time of Day: The ritual must be performed at night, never during the day. Specific Windows: Ideal times include during the full moon, in direct response to anti-choice legislation, or specifically during the practitioner’s menstrual cycle (if you have one). )(*)( Required Components Red Candle: Inscribed with "Hands off" on one side and "Laws off" on the reverse using a pin or nail. Anointing Substance: A tiny amount of menstrual blood is preferred for its extreme potency, symbolizing the source of life and power; if unavailable, consecrated olive oil is an acceptable substitute. Target Representation: A photograph, name paper, or printed corporate logo of the opposing politician or organization. Incense: Charcoal with bay leaves and myrrh. Tools: A cauldron or ashtray for burning paper and a piece of red cloth. )(*)( Ritual Procedure Preparation and Anointing: At your altar, dress the inscribed red candle with the blood or oil. While doing so, visualize your personal power transferring into the wax and whisper: "My blood, my life, my power". Targeting: Dab a small amount of the fluid onto the photo or name paper of the target. This act is intended to feel like your energy is overpowering the target. Opening: Place the candle on the altar with the target paper in front of it. Light the charcoal and the candle, then perform a centering ritual to focus your intent. Invocations to Hekate: Petition Hekate of the Crossroads, the "Queen of the starry cosmos" and "Guardian of the realms of the dead". Offer the bay leaves and myrrh to the charcoal as an offering for her protection. The Declaration: Hold the target paper in your left hand at eye level and recite a passionate declaration of sovereignty. Phrases include: "Keep your hands off my body / Keep your laws off my body... My body is my own". The Burning: Light the target paper from the candle’s flame, stating, "Not your choice," and shout with full focus, "MINE!" as you drop the paper into the cauldron to burn. Words of Power: While the paper burns, recite the "barbarous" words of power: AKROKODÊRE MOUISRÔ CHARCHAR ADÔNAI ZEUS DÊ DAMNAMENEUS KYNOBIOU EZAGRA. Closing and Grounding: Once the paper is ash, offer more incense to Hekate and give thanks. Extinguish the candle, clap three times to end the ritual, and ground yourself. )(*)( Aftercare and Storage The candle should be wrapped tightly in the red cloth and stored in a safe, secret place. It then serves as a permanent ward to protect your choice, remaining ready to be used again if reproductive rights are further threatened. Practitioners are also encouraged to "right the balance" after such workings by donating time or money to organizations that protect reproductive health.

[1] Sound of me rolling my eyes.

Take any smallish box, bag, or jar that can be tightly sealed. Bless, ward, decorate, and label the box in whatever manner suits your purposes.*

Any time you feel pain, create a sigil representing the pain you're feeling, meditate to transfer that feeling into the sigil, and store it in the box.

To hex, take a lock of hair, a peice of clothing, a printed photo, or some other flammable personal item from the target.

Go into your pain arsonal and choose one of your pain sigils to inflict upon the target.

Bind the personal item and the pain sigil together with twine, sap, or another fire-safe binding agent.

Set alight and burn until unrecognizable.

!Alternately, you can put the sigil directly in your target's home or on their person (bag, shoes, wallet, pocket, etc)

*Mine is an old tin Christmas cookie box, covered with duct tape. There are illustrations of sharp bramble thorns and symbolism of The Moon, Judgement, The Tower, and The Devil tarot cards on each side. I chose red, purple, and blue as a color scheme to symbolize bruising. It's pretty intense, but whatever iconography you feel like using (or none at all) will be fine.

(Yes, this can be done with a dual action/reversal candle, but for this of us only fortunate enough to have a kitchen. Use what ya got.)

Best Done During:

Waning Moon; Saturday or Tuesday; Planetary hours: Mars and Saturn

Concept:

• Cleanse

• Reverse negativity

• Protect

Tools:

• Mirror plate

• Candle

• Marker

• Black Pepper (banish/exorcise)

• Salt (protect/cleanse)

• Cayenne/Red Pepper Flakes (banish/protect)

• Cinnamon (protect/attract/banish/money)

• Basil (exorcise/protect/money)

• (Olive) Oil

How:

1) Bless the mirror plate and herbs (if you haven’t already and if you have a second, third, etc., time wouldn’t hurt). Remember the time and energy you invest in this you’re also investing in yourself. Write words sigils, runes, and magical symbols for protection/reversal.

2) Cleanse yourself with the candle. Rub yourself down head to toe, crack and crevice. The candle is taking the excess, stagnant and bad energy from you. It should feel heavier. Write words, sigils, runes, or magical symbols of cleansing/protection/reversal.

3) Fix it. Dress it with: oil, a pinch of Salt (ask the salt to cleanse you), a pinch of Basil (ask it to protect your finances), a pinch of Cinnamon (ask it to bless your love life and your passions and protect the things you love and care about).

4) If you can grind it great, if not just mixing these together will work fine. Mix:

Salt, peppers, basil and cinnamon ( break them down, or use two sticks making a cross). Ask that they:

“remove and expel negativity from your life. Just like the mirror works to reflect and send back any negativity so will the B. Pepper, Basil, and cinnamon work to break down and return negativity to its sender(s) in all areas of your life. Ask the salt, R. and C. Peppers to build a fiery wall of protection around you that works to reflect and destroy any negativity that tries to come your way. That protects you and shields you as you move forward so you may grow in trust and confidence with your magic.”

-visualize for a few minutes negativity melting off you. Onto the ground or up into the atmosphere to be sent back to where it came from.

-visualize a wall of fire around you and feel protected, calm, comfortable. Now would be a good time to ask for your trusted spirits to lend their hand in the work. To protect you. To guide you.

5) Put that mix in a circle around the candle (size doesn’t matter 😏 lol). Then focus on your goal of sending all this sh*t back that you’ve experienced recently or overall. Focus on knowing from this moment on you are protected and divinely guided. When you’re ready/if you have them lay the sticks down asking them to uncross your path.

6) Once you feel calm and relaxed and have a solid visual in your mind. Light the candle and focus that feeling into the flame. (It might help to use your hands/make an energy ball/put your hands around the flame. But if you’ve ever been mad Asf and kept starting at someone you were mad at while holding that feeling in. That’s directing your focused energy towards something. So do that but towards the flame.) Hold the idea/intention/emotion and let it loose on the flame.

7) Let the candle burn (keep and eye on it). Go back to it at least once a day and work on it. Say affirmations, meditate, cleanse in front of it, pray, add an herb or another candle or start another work where you’re building your finances or self love or that helps you develop your psychic gifts. Something to shift your focus and fill the void that cleansing creates.

An offensive spell that is directed at a specific target for the purposes of deterring them from emotionally harming or manipulating another. This spell is short term effects, for long term results look into a binding spell or curse.

You Will Need:

🌸 Bay Leaf (dried)

🌸 Dill (dried)

🌸 Dandelion Greens (dried)

🌸 Carnation (dried if possible)

🌸 Green Candle 

🌸 Matches/Lighter

🌸 Mortar and Pestle

🌸 Name of Target for Spell

Set Up:

To set up this spell clear a space to work at whether it is an altar space, table or kitchen counter top. Make sure there is enough room to have your candle burning and room to work without any fire hazards or risks of knocking the candle offer. If you have long hair or sleeves pull it back and roll them up because there is some fire involved in this spell. Once area and space is cleared you will need to set up your mortar and pestle as well as your candle. Light your candle and keep it in front of you but with enough room for the mortar to sit between you and it without risk of things being knocked over. 

The Spell:

🌸 Add each of your ingredients to the mortar and with your pestle begin to grind them up into the finest powder you can get. While grinding the herbs put your energy into this task, it is an offensive spell so you want to ensure that your fury and determination is very present. You want these emotions and energy to be the main force for the spell, herbs can only do so much.

🌸 As you grind chant the phrase: “(target’s name), I send the breath of spring to halt you.” You may chant this out loud or mentally, whichever suits you.

🌸 Once it is ground into a powder that you are satisfied with blow out your candle, you do not wish to leave it burning on its own for fire safety purposes. Take your ground herbs and head outside, preferably on your own property or anywhere that it is safe to release the powder. Do not release this in public areas because even though herbs are natural it could be in some states and cities seen as littering.

🌸 Once outside take the handful of ground powder and release it. If it is a windy day release it with the wind to your back so it doesn’t blow right back into you. You may say firmly “Breath of Spring” if you desire for a more authentic feeling for the spell its based on or if you prefer ending spells vocally or with a “point”. If you do not feel the need to do this you do not need to.

🌸 Clean up your area and any mess that may have been left behind. Cleanse if you feel it’s necessary.
