Ritual Writing with Magickal Objects

This box is a divine convergence of my background in writing & life as a poet + scent + hearthcraft + my passion for antique & vintage objects. This curated box contains an array of second-hand objects that hold a history—a story—of the people who once held them. These items, weathered by time, display minor scratches, nicks, & cracks that act as a palimpsest of their former lives.

To me, those imperfections are where each object’s true splendor dwells. Who held these objects? What significance did they hold? Where did they reside in the house? Was this bell or vase or book given as a token of love or as a plea for forgiveness? What letters did this typewriter ribbon conjure or who did they write to most? What did the sender eventually hide inside the tin? Money? A stolen ring? A picture of their lover? And how did it get those scratches?

Through a guided writing ritual with prompts inspired by each object, you are invited to partake in a bit of psychometry (divination by touching an object), lampadomancy (divination by candle flame), & carromancy (divination by melting wax) to craft the beginning of a poem, story, painting, or song—whatever you feel inspired to create.

You can return to this ritual again & again for a new creative vision. The possibilities are endless. These objects have passed through many hands & now they are in yours. Let them be your perpetual muse. Display them in your home. Use them to build an altar to creativity. Admire & enjoy their unique, flawed beauty. Use them to make magick.
