Death On Two Legs - Incorporating Music Into Spellwork
Recently, I lost my job unfairly. A job I had for many years, was very good at, and I'd been there long before any management. To say I was angry is an understatement. But I was also terribly depressed, I felt like my confidence had been stripped away from me. So after wallowing in it for two months, I decided to make something of it.
Nothing gets me focused quite like music. I always incorporate music into my work, usually with noise cancelling headphones. This time around I was doing a 2-tier spell, first to send off a prayer for good luck, and second to turn the pain I've felt these last 2 months back on those who caused it. I'm not one to curse, but this was unfair and has put me through a lot of pain. For the first half of my ritual, set out with a small cast iron cauldron, a red candle, green candle, and white candle, 2 feathers, a statue of Bast, and the Chariot tarot card, I used the "Inside Forest Haven" track from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. It kept me level, calm, and set the mood as I burned a scroll with several sigils and a prayer inside. The scroll burned completely and left pure white ash.
For the second half, I swapped my music out for something more angry. I wanted to channel my hurt into it. One song that always gets me going, really makes me FEEL like my anger is being channeled, is "Death On Two Legs" by Queen. It's a very angry song, it feels so good to listen to when I'm mad. So I hit play, waited for the guitar to kick in, and burned the second prayer, packaged with a little blood and part of my old uniform. Lucky me, yesterday I had a nosebleed. Free samples for blood rituals in the future. I watched it as it refused to burn with a heavy flame, but slowly charred and melted from the heat. It burned slow like my anger did and left a black mass of ash and nylon. Once it stopped burning, I sprinkled salt over it and pushed 2 red pins into the mass to complete the ritual. The use of such an emotionally charged song really helped me focus through that really slow burn.
And before anyone gets mad about cursing and all that, I'm not wishing death on anyone or harm, for that matter. I want them to know they hurt someone who was loyal to them. And I want them to struggle with business because, honestly, it's probably better for public health if people don't go there (black mold infestation!). I felt this was justified. They've wronged me, they've wronged other former employees, and they lie to city inspectors to stay in business.
