Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots, Queen of Heaven and Hell
(For the express purpose of clearing your path, casting doubt on those who doubt you, and snarling “learning opportunities” in the lives of those who hate you. For if Mary is our mother, let’s tattle on our siblings for some justice, hmm?)

To be prayed once a day for nine days:
Dearest Holy Mother, you undo the knots that suffocate your children. Extend your merciful hands to me. I entrust to You today this knot [mention your request here] and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exists in my life. Take these knots from me, as a bitter cup, and give them to [person], who is well prepared for the unique opportunity to learn from such knots. Knot these snarls in their life, and by so doing allow them to learn humility and fear of the Lord.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the evil one himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone, no challenge that cannot be passed on to another
Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power as Mediatrix of All Graces, take into your hands today this knot. [Mention your request here.] I beg you to unravel it from the thread of my life, and transfer it instead to [person]. You are my hope. O my Lady, you are the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and the freedom from my chains. Take these shackles from me, and entrap my (brother)(sister) so they may learn humility and respect. Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Amen.

You’re the best friends anybody ever had. And it’s funny, but I feel as if I’ve known you all the time. But I couldn’t have, could I?

sometimes magic involves lots of ingredients, pageantry, planetary calculations and energy. other times, you whisper to an acorn and bury it on your lunch break.

I need to be taught magic because I need to decide what magic is… for me.

Have you read about the curse of Timur/Tamerlane? It is said that his tomb was sealed with warnings which read “When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble,” and “Whoever opens my tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I.”
If true, it single-handedly changed the course of WW II at Stalingrad.
How can a curse from so long ago can be so powerful and devastating? If he was a sorcerer, what might have been his source of power?
I had not heard about it. But I googled it, it would seem the claims and dates are a little sketchy.
This being said, who knows!
Curses don't necessarily degenerate. Magic doesn't just dissipate either, at least not all the time.
It is a hard thing to discuss because there is no hard and fast rule. For example traditional talismans created during astrological events become a vessel of that event. So long as the physical talisman remains intact, so does the magic. It may slumber for a while, but it can be reawakened. The charge is still there. Sometimes it is very active other times it needs jumpstarting like a car that has been sat on a drive for a while.
Anything with herbs such as mojo bags or spell bags etc. seem to dwindle over time and do require regular charging or 'feeding'. But even they can be reawakened- especially when they are tied to a power source that is constant via a link.
I have talismans that retain their charge indefinitely but once activated will need a charge.
I think sigils of spirits that are used within evocation rites remain active also.
The source of his power, his Self, his Spirits, and his deeds.
In this case the curse may have laid dormant until activated. The charge is there waiting and only dissipated upon its activation. If the action to activate the spell has not happened the energy has not been expended yet. It is like dynamite waiting for a match.

i’m ready for june. the purest month. the friday afternoon of summer, when the world hums with possibility. when spring kisses summer on the cheek, leaves behind a trail of ferns and dew. june is packing your suitcase for a trip. june is a sprinkler in the lawn. june is goodbye and hello all at once. every day feels like the first moment after you wake up, when the dreams still stick to your skin. we wander dazed and hazy in the infant months of heat and sun. we are lovely and unafraid

Today I visited the small German town of Mainz, where they were excavating for a mall and accidentally found the ruins of a joint temple for the cults of Cybele and Isis. So now one of the totally ordinary looking storefronts in the mall just contains a set of stairs that leads down to this.
