Opening Reflection
There are moments when someone’s polished charm thins enough for the darker truth beneath to leak through, and you feel it like a draft along your spine. You’re done pretending not to notice. Their shadow presses through their mask, bending the room, staining conversations you try to keep clean. This rite isn’t vengeance; it’s refusal. You hold up a mirror so the face they hide becomes the face they meet. Let the reflection return their distortion without harming you, and let your own breath clear again.
Invocation
May your hidden nature surface where you hoped only the mask would be seen.
Method
Place a small mirror on a stable surface, angled slightly toward you. Dim the lights and set a single candle at its side. Sit with your feet grounded and breathe until your pulse loosens. Speak aloud the ways their shadow seeps through their practiced persona, keeping your tone steady and factual. Touch the mirror’s frame and say, 'I remove myself from your performance.' Feel where your body releases.
Now turn the mirror outward, as if offering it to the person beyond your space. Speak the invocation once. Then repeat three times: 'What you hide will face you.' After each repetition, exhale sharply, imagining the sheen of their mask cracking, revealing the truth they push behind their eyes. You are not sending harm—only returning the image to its source.
When your breath feels clearer, close the rite. Wipe the mirror with salt water, wrap it in dark cloth, and store it in a drawer or box for seven days. Do not look into it until the period has passed. Let the mirror rest, carrying the truth back where it belongs.
Closure & Aftercare
Drink a glass of water slowly, letting your breath settle. Step near an open window or into cool air so your chest can unfurl again. If lingering anger rises, acknowledge it without feeding it; your boundary is already spoken. Notice how your body feels when you no longer brace for their performance. This lightness is the point of the working—not punishment, but release. Rest in the clarity you reclaimed.
Safety Notes
Emotions may spike afterward; ground with steady breath, warm food, or brief contact with a trusted person.
