THE GRIMOIRE / CURSES

The thimble of smallness

Reduce an inflated threat to its true and manageable size.

What you’ll need

  • A metal thimble
  • A tiny paper strip
  • A pencil

The ritual

  1. Write the threat in the smallest letters you can manage.
  2. Roll the paper tightly and place it inside the thimble.
  3. Set the thimble before you and list three limits the threat actually has.
  4. Keep the thimble beside that list until your fear matches the facts.
