Resist.

Resist by maintaining Sovereignty of the Self.

Resist by maintaining Love of the Self.

Resist by maintaining fierce Loyalty to Love and Pleasure.

Resist with acts of Radical Kindness.

Focus on the Path to Better Times.

A Simple Breakfast Magick Operation:

Note: I have written this using an egg. If your diet does not include eggs, I suggest writing the sigil on an orange or banana, or using a sauce to write it on your prepared meal.

You will need:

A sigil or sigils representing your intent
An egg
Your beverage of choice
A small candle with holder
A drinking cup marked with the sigil/s (a post-it or masking tape will work)
Something to write on the the candle and egg with
Your magickal journal and writing utensil

Instructions:

Preheat skillet.
Banish and cleanse.
Write sigil/s on the egg and candle.
Light candle and meditatie on the flame, allowing your vision to maintain a soft focus. You may hold the egg in your hand while you do this or place it near the candle.
Optional: When ready, place the candle near the skillet. I prefer to do this in somewhat low light, but any conditions should work just fine.
While concentrating on the sigil, break the egg into the skillet and observe the patterns it makes while it cooks. Prepare the egg any way you prefer, keeping an eye out for any symbols or patterns you might see. Note these in your journal if they appear.
Serve egg as desired alongside your beverage of choice from the cup labeled with the sigil/s. If the candle is still lit, place it near where you are eating.

Note: Because I typically do this operation to draw energies in, I do not banish after it. Depending on your intent, you may wish to modify this.

If you try this operation, I would love to hear how it went for you!
