Last night I fully luxuriated in honor of my Lilith and north node in Taurus. Massage, nails, rose petal bath and chamomile and dinner and drinks. I paid honor to the goddess Circe; Queen of Poison as I personally think, as divinatory, we have a duty to justice. People get scared when they find out you believe in “vengeance.”

It’s not vengeance– it’s justice. 

I set the bowl with vervain for love magic (gotta enchant) and centaury (gotta make them believe you can enchant) and lit the candle. I also set the paper with cayenne pepper and black pepper and drew the Hellebore sigil (gotta banish and remain invisible to enemies). I wrote four things I’d like to banish. I drew the sigil with black smoky quartz then ripped each item with forethought. I burned each one to ash then moved the smoky quartz in smoke and put it in pocket. I took the ashes and dropped them at a crossroads. 

Ritual is intention. You may not believe that it works. And you don’t have to. But it’s better if you do.

Now I carry the quartz with me as a reminder I am greater than the sum of all my parts. In fact, I am free. 

Jung ponders, “How can evil be integrated? There is only one possibility: to assimilate it, that is to say, raise it to the level of consciousness.”

We integrate. We do not eliminate.
