A Recipe for Protection
\nYou will need:<\/p>\n
1 contraction of perseverance
\n2 small rocks – your favorite
\n1 beetle carapace or chitinous exterior
\n1 gram of love
\n1 Large AA Egg<\/p>\n
Set the contraction of perseverance aside, it is important to have it ready.<\/p>\n
Grabbing a bowl the size of your heart and place the beetle carapace inside
\nIts interior shell should face the heavens, reflecting hidden colors in the kitchen light
\nTaking a silver needle, pierce the egg, do not remove the needle. Leaking is okay.
\nSprinkle your love over the perseverance and the beetle carapace in equal parts
\nAnd sing the song of your heart. It’s okay if it doesn’t make sense.
\nWhile you sing grind the shell between two small rocks, preferably ones you like
\nLet them grind the beetle into dust and then keep grinding them,
\nUsing your perseverance and love grind them into dust.
\nLet sit 20 minutes and remove the needle from the egg.<\/p>\n
Take what remains of the egg, for much has probably leaked out,
\nPour it over the dust through the small hole from the needle
\nDo not break the shell.<\/p>\n
Stir well until the mixture has incorporated the egg into a paste
\nSmear it on the photo of that you wish to protect and bury it somewhere secret.
\nAnd deep.
\nDon’t tell anyone about this, just be there for the one you want to protect
\nLet them come to you with their troubles
\nAnd remember to go to someone with your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
