THE GRIMOIRE / HEXES & BINDINGS

The seven-turn cord

Wind seven delays around a course of action meant to trouble you.

What you’ll need

  • A short wooden spool
  • Gray cord
  • A paper label

The ritual

  1. Write the troubling action on the label and attach it to the spool.
  2. Wind the cord around the spool exactly seven times.
  3. At each turn name a pause, question, review, correction, or obstacle the plan must face.
  4. Knot the cord and put the spool away until the threat has passed.
