waning moon
Monday


what you gather

the working

  1. Ihold the charm and light the white candle.
  2. IIpass the charm through the candle's smoke three times (not the flame).
  3. IIIspeak the incantation.
  4. IVtie a length of black thread around it if it doesn't already have one, and hang or place it near your bed — not under the pillow, close by instead.
  5. Veach night before sleep, touch it once.
  6. VIcleanse it monthly under moonlight.

she speaks

"What comes to frighten me in sleep stops at this charm. My rest is guarded tonight."

she expects

Reduced frequency or intensity of nightmares over a week or two of consistent use. If nightmares are severe, frequent, or tied to trauma, this charm supports rest — it is not a substitute for real support from a doctor or therapist.

she warns

Recurring severe nightmares can be a sign of underlying stress, trauma, or a medical condition. This working eases; it does not diagnose or treat.
