The state of the world right now—the chaotic energy moving through the collective—has so many of us feeling the urge to DO something. To take action beyond our own healing.

For those of us who walk the occult path, who practice magick, there’s a deep frustration, a sense of being at a loss. What can we do? What ritual will bring change?

Many of us refuse to practice Black Magick, knowing the dangers and repercussions it carries. We feel the pull to hex the patriarchy, to curse those who bring harm to humanity—yet we hold back, because we refuse to perpetuate darkness.

So what can we do?

Below is an incantation. Feel into it. See what ideas for ritual arise within you.

Here’s how I’ll use it: I’ll write the names of those this incantation is directed at, folding the paper away from me as many times as possible. I’ll mix it with herbs and water, place it in a bag, and freeze it—trapping their harm, stopping their influence.

Incantation:

Every wound for every lie,

The scales of justice shall reply.

No curse I cast, no harm I send,

Only balance in the end.

With steady heart and focused eyes,

Justice will turn and karma will rise.

So mote it be.

Let justice move as it must. Let balance be restored.
