PROTECTION

laying the groundwork · the tools: a manifesto, charming items for protection, boundaries, joy and wildness · secrecy is what protects you · other tools

first off, a disclaimer. nothing in this post or this series is meant to replace the advice and guidance of trained professionals. this is intense work. often the mundane has to be worked alongside the magical. please consider working with a therapist if you aren’t already.

in the previous post, we covered how the business you work for is involved in using magick. my core assumption for this series is that feelings of deep disdain or feeling stuck in your job and life is a call to initiation, and part of that means learning to use your powers of faith, will, imagination, and secrecy for your self.

the first task is to know what you want. for me, this was freedom. i wanted the freedom to be able to live my life in such a way where i could go where i want, when i want. can you tell me what you want in one sentence? is that sentence at the top of your mind now? if you don’t have an answer, figure it out. this is using your power of imagination, btw, this is how you use the power of the mind. once you have this answer, the misalignment (ie whatever is bothering you) will be clear.

this post is the second in a series where i share details on a toolkit you can develop to go through this initiation and to get to your goal. if you’ve studied magick or gone through therapy, these tools will be familiar to you. the only difference here is i am framing it within the context of working in corporate. i think this framing is important because when i felt stuck no one told me i had everything i needed to get unstuck, but that power was being used to maintain status quo. so the question is not ‘do i have power?’ the question is ‘how do i learn to use the power i have for myself?’

here’s a summary of the toolkit:

1. PROTECTION. corporations protect themselves, you need to protect yourself. here we’re talking about secrecy, boundaries, and charming an item.

2. CLEANSING. any corporate culture lack scarcity mindset shit must be cleansed out of your thinking. you cannot cleanse without protection and you cannot protect without cleansing, so these first two posts go together.

3. GROUNDING. as someone diagnosed with PTSD from childhood trauma, this one required the help of a therapist because it is and was painful.

4. SUPPORT. grounding pt 2. loneliness, isolation, getting support when it feels like you have no one.

5. REBUKE IT. protection and cleansing pt 2. how to create and keep a spirit of rebuke when you need it

6. PRAYER. protection and cleansing pt 3. corporate culture as constant, communal prayer.
