Let the dark hold you.
A winter ritual for rest, return, and remembering the world keeps turning.
✨ 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.
Earth + Shadow for Winter Holding
Supplies:
Blanket, shawl, or soft fabric
Optional: a stone
Steps:
Wrap yourself in the blanket or shawl, not as protection, but as containment. As comfort.
Sit or lie down and place the stone (if using) on your belly or chest.
Close your eyes and ask:
What wants to settle?
Not solve. Not change.
Just settle.Breathe until you feel your weight,
your warmth,
your presence.Say:
I let the dark hold me.
I let the wheel turn for me.
Stay as long as you want.
This is your wintering.
✊ 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.
People-Pleasing, Obligation, & Holiday Performance
Post–holiday crash.
Everyone exhausted.
Everyone stretched thin.
Everyone quietly wondering why we still do it this way.
We hex the indoctrination that tells us we owe everyone our time, our presence, our smiles, our emotional labor… at the expense of our own bodies.
We hex family mythologies that confuse obligation for love.
We hex the systems that reward self-abandonment.
May you disappoint the right people.
May you belong to yourself again.
🔥 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.

With softness, weight, and the magic of slowing down,

PS: Winter isn’t the pause before life returns. It is life returning — underground, unseen, and essential.
