This Full Moon: Care As Defiance
Light the candle. Do the ritual. Then join us for a Mammogram Party that turns fear into solidarity.
✨ SPELL
This ritual isn’t about belief. It’s about repair.
Capitalism has broken your relationship to time—flattened your rhythms, punished your rest, and convinced you every moment must be productive.
The moon disagrees.
Each new and full moon, I’ll hand you a small ritual. Not to “manifest” or optimize, but to reattune your body to a different pace. One that honors cycles, not calendars.
Pay attention to the moon. It’s not aesthetic—it’s antidote.
Fire for Fearless Care
This Aries full moon on Monday, Oct 6, isn’t gentle. It’s the cosmic middle finger to fear and avoidance.
Aries is initiation energy—the spark that says: my body matters, my care matters, I matter.
So this week’s ritual is about practicing the kind of self-care that capitalism and patriarchy hope you’ll keep avoiding. The check-ups. The rest. The tending. The things that keep you alive and whole.
Supplies:
Candle (fire, Aries’ element)
Paper + pen
Steps:
Light your candle. Let the flame remind you: your fire is worth tending.
Write down one act of body-care you’ve been putting off—whether it’s scheduling an appointment, moving your body in the way it’s asking for, or finally calling the doctor.
Hold the paper over the flame (don’t burn it yet) and say:
I choose courage over avoidance.
I choose care as defiance.
Fold the paper and place it under the candle. Keep it there until you’ve followed through.
✊ HEX
You don’t need a rundown of the headlines. You’re living them. Whether you’re in the U.S. or just suffering under its ripple effects, the harm is real—and relentless.
This isn’t catharsis. It’s counter-spell.
Each HEX is a ritual of refusal—a channel for holy rage, spiritual disruption, and deliberate, directed dissent.
Here’s who we’re targeting. And what to do about it.
Medical Gatekeepers, Gaslighters, and Bullies
This week’s HEX is for every person and every system that ever made medical care feel terrifying instead of tender.
Every doctor who dismissed your pain.
Every nurse who shamed your body.
Every insurance desk that turned healing into paperwork.
We hex the fear.
We hex the shame.
We hex the cold fluorescent corridors that made you feel small.
Your action:
Light a candle. Whisper their names—or the words they left you with—into the flame.
Then say:
You do not own my body.
You do not get my fear.
Care is mine to reclaim.
Because medical care should never feel like a battlefield. And when it does, our rage is the first medicine.
🎉 The Mammogram Party
And next Saturday, October 11, we take this out of the theoretical and into the real.
We’re turning something clinical—and often scary—into a collective ritual. A Mammogram Party.
Because courage doesn’t always look like going it alone. Sometimes it looks like laughter in the waiting room, rage transmuted into solidarity, and care reclaimed as community.
Join us with the Diagnostic Imaging Centers mobile mammography bus at The Littlest Bakeshop 10:30am - 3pm. Book your mammogram here.
🔥 If this blog lit something up in you—rage, grief, desire—you’re not alone. You’re just early.
Project Reclamation is where we take that fire and build something with it.
A coaching community for the politically fed up and spiritually alive.
Not where you fix yourself—where you reclaim yourself.
Because healing is easier when you’re not doing it inside the systems that broke you.
And because joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a threat to the status quo.

PS: Your body. Your care. Your community. Mammogram Party, October 11. Be there.
