The candlewick delay
Slow an intrusive plan before it gathers enough momentum to reach you.
What you’ll need
- An unlit candle
- A short piece of cotton thread
- A small envelope
The ritual
- Name the plan you want delayed and wind the thread around the unlit wick.
- Turn the candle counterclockwise three times while saying, “Wait, falter, lose your hour.”
- Remove the thread without lighting the candle and seal it in the envelope.
- Keep the envelope closed until you have secured the time or protection you need.
