April 24th, 2025 — Gate Opening Ritual, Track One - TREMORS
Today, as Mercury stations direct in Aries, I release “Tremors” into the world - the first spark from my debut record. This moment feels like striking flint on steel. Aries charges forward without apology, and Mercury - now moving freely through this cardinal fire - urges us to speak the unspeakable, to voice the contradictions within love, desire, and power.
“Tremors” was born in the friction. It’s a spell of unrest, a hymn to the sacred instability that happens when you're too awake to lie to yourself anymore. It begins with a refusal: "Not built for servitude, I won’t take one for the team." This isn’t passive resistance - it’s full-body rejection of old contracts. It’s the gut knowing that butterflies and bad feelings can feel eerily the same when you’re standing at the edge of something real.
There’s an altar in this song. With each repetition of "I choose the lesser of two evils," the line becomes less resignation, more invocation. It’s not about compromise - it’s about survival
The gate is open now. With “Tremors,” I’m stepping through - not to find peace,
but to confront the storm on my own terms.
☿ SPELL: To Discern the Signal from the Static
(To be performed while listening to “Tremors”, but not required)
✦ Intention: To clarify your inner voice, break ties with patterns of false obligation, and embrace the uneasy truth.
✦ Timing: Best during Mercury Direct in Aries, but can be used whenever you're feeling lost or need to reclaim your voice.
✦ Tools to intensify the spell, but not required:
-
A black candle (to burn through illusions)
-
A mirror
-
A small cord or piece of string
-
A symbol of personal truth (jewelry, stone, or written word)
✦ Ritual Steps:
-
Light the black candle and place it beside the mirror. Sit facing your reflection. Let the song Tremors play from start to finish.
-
As the lyrics unfold, hold your symbol of truth in one hand, the cord in the other.
-
Repeat aloud after the song finishes:
Let tremors burst open the gate, Where dreams no longer bow to fate
My voice is law, my will complete, I break the chains that bind my feet -
Repeat these words until you feel confident in their truth.
-
Cut or break the cord and imagine a web of confusion snapping loose from your body.
-
Snuff the candle. Keep your truth symbol by your bedside or with you as a talisman for the days ahead.
✦ Notes: Repeat this ritual whenever you feel yourself confusing intuition with anxiety, or when your boundaries begin to blur again.
