THE GRIMOIRE / HEXES & BINDINGS

The red-thread tripwire

Reveal when someone crosses a limit they have already been shown.

What you’ll need

  • Red thread
  • Two small stones
  • A paper label

The ritual

  1. Write the boundary on the label and place it between the stones.
  2. Stretch the red thread from one stone to the other over the label.
  3. Say, “The crossing shows itself,” and knot both ends.
  4. Keep the arrangement somewhere private while recording any further boundary violations clearly.
