I am sharing my process for this 30 day intentional working.
I have never done this before. I am no expert. I am hella winging it.
My intention in sharing this is providing a framework for myself and others who feel called do this type of resistance magic from as resourced a space as possible. I invite discourse and suggestion and if it feels right taking pieces of this and making it your own.

Why am I doing this work?
Because it needs to be done, people are dying, being abused, being treated as if they are less than human. Because what is happening today will cause generations of trauma. I refuse to be complicit citizen of the state.
My freedom is an illusion. As long as things like this continue to happen my freedom is an illusion and time is an hour glass.
I have no home but this. My limited traceable heritage is here. As someone whose ancestors were stolen to this land in violence my roots are connected to those whose ancestors were taken from this land by violence.
As a Black person whose Ancestors saw their children taken from them and sold I can not and will not sit silent while the same thing happens to another People
What do I fear in this work?
That I am not strong enough, disciplined enough, educated enough that the working will not be enough.
What is false in this fear?
My strength is aided by my ancestors, by the land itself, by those already casting their will towards the liberation of free peoples and the children who follow in the footsteps of their ancestors who have transversed this coast for thousands of years before the imaginary borders were drawn
My discipline has been tested countless times. I have a traceable history of my ability to push through and move with
My education was gifted to me by my mothers. My birth mother taught me how to pray. My spiritual mother taught me how to curse. Both have educated me thoroughly and well. What I lack will come through community, through words and workings of those far wiser than myself. I trust Spirit, I trust Tears, I trust my Rage, I trust my Heart.
It is enough. If it is everything I can give without breaking myself it is enough. Every single drop of rain is responsible for the flood.
What are my goals?
The destruction of the border camps
The destruction the systems that sustain them
The uniting of families
Reparations for these families
Who will I ask to aid me in achieving these goals?
Those whose names remain veiled
Nimue the Slayer, Protectress of Children
My community
My Kindred
What offerings will I give to those who aid me in achieving these goals
Aside from the blood of my enemies?
Feasts, acts of love and creation, blood, works of art, healing services
What am I willing to give personally for this goal?
My safety, my money, my time
How far am I willing to go for this goal?
(for my eyes only)
From the above create a contract between Deity/ Spirit/ Yourself these are your boundaries and reminders.
The Covenant of Working
I understand that this is dangerous workI understand that I must not die for it but live for it
I understand that I must take care of the vessel, mind and heart that sets upon this task
Tonight, as fire lights the sky in celebration of a lie I light my own candle to combat it
Tonight I call upon my Mighty Dead and My Elevated Ancestors
Tonight I call upon Nimue the Slayer Protectress of Children, I call upon Justice beyond the laws this land, I call upon *
It is with an open, soft heart that I pick up my sword, my will, my call
It is with tears in my eyes that I bare my teeth
It is with compassion that I seek to curse those that harm, detain, kill, abuse, abduct the free peoples at the false borders.
I ask for wisdom, for guidance, for courage as I set myself to this task in both magical and mundane ways
I commit to praying with my feet moving
Tonight I harness every blast to bolster the voices of those crying out from chain linked fences and battle line
Tonight I harness every spark of light to reveal the ugliest and most damaging secrets of all those in power who gain from this atrocity or remain silent about it
Tonight I harness every collective cry of awe from the complacent crowds and bend it to this purpose:
The complete and utter destruction of the border camps
The complete and utter destruction the systems that sustain them
The complete reuniting of families and reparations to these families
Hear my words
Note my warrant
Aid my work
And for You I will dance
I will create stories,songs and feasts
I will lend my touch to those in need
I will make love in Your names.
With money, mouth and magic directed against Tower and it’s dragon
I answer the Call of Resistance!
With the ordered thoughts of a mind calm and as cold as a river in winter
I answer the Call of Resistance!
I wield the sword. I see the field.
I answer the Call of Resistance!
