The shadow-box containment
Confine an influence that grows larger whenever it is given attention.
What you’ll need
- A small opaque box
- A card
- A black pencil
The ritual
- Shade the card heavily while thinking of the influence as a shadow rather than a person.
- Write its name or pattern over the shading in small letters.
- Fold the card inward four times and place it at the bottom of the box.
- Close the lid and give the matter no further attention for seven days while you redirect your energy elsewhere.
