THE GRIMOIRE / CURSES

The locked drawer

Contain a problem that keeps spilling into hours and rooms where it does not belong.

What you’ll need

  • A drawer or lidded box
  • An index card
  • A key or paper clip

The ritual

  1. Write the problem and the hours when you will address it on the card.
  2. Place the card in the drawer with the key or paper clip resting over it.
  3. Close the drawer and say, “You remain here until your appointed time.”
  4. Open it only during the written hours; when the issue is settled, remove and tear up the card.
