Spell for Kindness and Open-Mindedness

(A Charm Against Condescending Pricks and Judgy Jerks)

By the warmth of empathy and the light of truth,

Let hearts grow gentle, and minds uncouth

Be softened, humbled, made aware—

Let kindness, not judgment, fill the air.

Ingredients:

A pink candle (for compassion)

A pinch of salt (to cleanse negativity)

A feather (for lightness of spirit)

A small stone (for grounding and humility)

A piece of paper and a pen

Instructions:

Prepare the Space:

Place the pink candle in the center. Arrange the salt, feather, and stone around it. On the paper, write:

"Let me see with open eyes,

Speak with care, and not despise.

May my heart be kind and true,

May I judge not, nor misconstrue."

Light the Candle:

As the flame grows, sprinkle the salt around the candle in a gentle circle, saying:

"Salt to cleanse, flame to warm,

Let harshness fade, let kindness form."

Hold the Feather:

Wave the feather over your head and shoulders, imagining it brushing away arrogance, condescension, and judgment. Say:

"Feather light, take flight,

Remove the urge to mock or slight."

Ground with the Stone:

Hold the stone in your hand, feeling its weight. Say:

"Stone of earth, keep me grounded,

Humble, honest, never hounded

By pride or scorn or cruel intent—

Let my words be kindly meant."

Recite the Spell:

Read aloud what you wrote on the paper. Then add:

"May I never call another mad,

When their world has gone so bad.

May I listen, may I care,

And never judge what I can't bear."

Close the Ritual:

Blow out the candle, fold the paper, and tuck it somewhere you'll see it often (wallet, mirror, phone case). Carry the stone with you for a day as a reminder.

May this spell help you—and those around you—trade arrogance for empathy, and judgment for understanding. The world's got enough pricks; be the reason someone feels safe, not silenced.
