🔮 Ritual Prompt:

“Stitching Breath into Emission”

Before stitching, take three deep breaths—one for each scope.

As you stitch each motif, speak aloud:

• Scope 1: “This is what I burn.”
• Scope 2: “This is what I draw.”
• Scope 3: “This is what I ripple.”
  When finished, fold the cloth inward and press it to your chest.
  Let your breath meet the thread.

🧵 Fabric Sourcing Suggestions:

• Threads:
  • Scope 1: Charcoal or deep red cotton floss

  • Scope 3: Pale gray, silver, translucent white (silk or rayon blends)
