A nice, simple ritual for you this week, as we all mourn the Halloween season, and I brace for the least wonderful time of year for a Jew living in a hegemonic Christian country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Door to the Dawn of Time<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Significant ritual<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost: 3 significant charges<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ritual Action: Remove a door from a building that has yet to have any long-term occupants. It will work if it\u2019s from a house that\u2019s on the market, as long as nobody has ever moved in. The same goes for any office space or storefront; if it\u2019s never been used by a business, it\u2019s good. Whether or not the building has an owner is immaterial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The door must be taken intact, including the frame and hinges. The ritual works best with a regular interior door. The era of the destination and the duration of the ritual has been known to vary when garage or cabinet doors are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must then bring the door someplace quiet that has personal significance to you \u2013 either because it relates directly to one of your Passions or your Obsession, or because it\u2019s the main place you associate with one of your Relationships. Leave it there unattended for at least 48 hours. If anybody comes into sight of it before then, the ritual will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once it\u2019s ready, knock on the door once, turn it upside down, knock once more, and open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Effect: For as many minutes as the casting roll, the door becomes a one-way portal to 3,303 million years ago, in the same geographic location. While this isn\u2019t quite the dawn of time, it is before any life scientists have been able to identify more complex than a microbe. Anything passing through either side the open door goes alllll the way back, and stays there. If you tie something (or someone, if you\u2019re a real dickhead) to a rope and throw it through, then try to pull it back out, the rope on the other side reacts like it\u2019s been frozen in invisible cement. Nothing can come through to the present, even if that\u2019s where it originated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This ritual is most often used for prosaic reasons such as hiding incriminating evidence. So far, no trace of anything put through has survived to be found millennia later, and thus blow apart several scientific disciplines. As useful as a magick garbage chute is, though, don\u2019t underestimate the tranquility of setting up a lawn chair and enjoying the view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A nice, simple ritual for you this week, as we all mourn the Halloween season, and I brace for the least wonderful time of year for a Jew living in a hegemonic Christian country.
