Opening Reflection
In one unguarded breath they told the whole story: the contempt behind the kindness, the calculation behind the care, the hollowness where integrity should live. They never meant for you to hear the mask slip, but you did. That accidental honesty is sacred; it is the single clean cut through years of fog. We do not punish the slip—we amplify it. We hand the moment back, unfiltered and magnified, until the dissonance between who they pretend to be and who they revealed themselves to be becomes impossible to ignore, especially to themselves.
Invocation
May the truth you spilled in haste now ring in your ears forever.
Method
Place a small hand mirror face-up beneath a clear glass of water. Light one silver candle beside it. Speak the exact sentence they let escape—the one that made your stomach drop—aloud, three times, letting each repetition fall heavier than the last. With every word, drip one drop of the water onto the mirror, watching the reflection fracture and reform. When the sentence feels carved into the air, tip the remaining water across the glass in a single motion and say: ‘What you admitted without meaning to admit, live inside now. Let it surface every time you open your mouth to lie.’ Blow the candle out through the wet mirror so the smoke threads across the water’s memory. Pour the water at the base of a tree that has outlived many seasons. Keep the mirror; sleep with it under your pillow for three nights, then cleanse it with moonlight and salt. The truth is no longer yours to carry alone.
Closure & Aftercare
After the third night, wash the mirror in cold running water while naming one boundary you now hold sacred. Dry it facing away from you. The accidental truth has found its rightful owner; your body is no longer its hiding place. Breathe relief. Burn the paper you wrote their sentence on, if you wrote it. Let the ashes go.
Safety Notes
Perform only after the initial shock has settled. Ground firmly. Release the recording, not the person.
