Conjure This: Tethered to the Heart
A locket may seem a simple thing, light as a coin and easily overlooked. But it can hold something sacred: a memory, a promise, a piece of your truth. To remember what we cherish, who we are, and who we are becoming, and to choose, again and again, to stay connected to that truth, is an essential part of the craft.
That is why I’ve written this spell.
What You’ll Need
A locket (old or new, gifted or found)
Something precious to keep inside (a photograph, a lock of hair, a scrap of paper with a name written in ink)
The Working
Fasten the chain around your neck. Feel its weight settle, a thread tying past to present.
Hold the locket in your hands. Squeeze it, not hard enough to break, but enough to press your intent into the metal.
Lift it to your chest. Close your eyes. Remember.
Picture the one you wish to hold close. See their face, their eyes. Hear their voice.
Breathe in, and whisper these words as you slowly release your grip:
teneo te (I hold you.)
ego memini te (I remember you.)
et nos unum sumus (And we are one.)
The words are a thread, binding past to present. The locket will hold what you ask of it.
When to Use This Spell
When someone is far away, but you need them near.
When a loved one has stepped beyond the veil.
When you want to keep a moment, a feeling, or a name, safely tucked away.
