Engine work is the deepest spell we cast.

We've done it many times. We do it carefully.

✦The Companion Ritual

The Heart's Return

A deep working for resurrection — for engines, for projects, for parts of yourself you'd given up on. To be performed before the first start after major engine work, or any time something dead needs help finding its way back.

What You'll Need

A red candle
A small bowl of fresh water
Three drops of your own breath fogged onto a clean cloth
A piece of iron — a nail, an old key, anything iron and ungilded
A handwritten list of what the engine (or the project, or the self) has been through

The Working

Read the list aloud, slowly. Every failure, every breakdown, every doubt anyone had. Honor what was hard.
Burn the list in the candle flame (do this in a fire-safe place — a sink, a metal bowl). Drop the ashes into the water.
Hold the iron in your right hand. Fog it three times with your breath. Iron is the metal of life-blood, of force, of return. Place it on the engine (a valve cover bolt is perfect, or the air cleaner) and leave it there for the first start.
Dip your fingertips in the ash-water and touch them to: the steering wheel, the gear shift, the ignition. Say: 'You are not finished. You return.'
Turn the key.

Keep the iron with the car for as long as you own it — taped under a panel, in the glove box, anywhere. It is the heart's witness. If you sell the car, take the iron with you.
