How to Create a ‘Hex the Patriarchy’ Spell (Because, Why Not?)

If you’re feeling the weight of everything lately (politics, society, the endless uphill battle of simply existing as a woman), you’re not alone. Sometimes, screaming into the void just isn’t enough. Enter: spellwork.

A hex doesn’t have to be malicious. The best ones are about redirecting energy, reclaiming power, and ensuring that those who cause harm feel the weight of their actions. This spell is for setting boundaries, sending consequences where they belong, and putting the universe on notice: We will not be silenced.

✨ What You’ll Need:

• A black candle (for protection and banishing negativity)

• A bay leaf (for setting intentions)

• Red pepper flakes or black pepper (to send back the energy)

• A mirror (to reflect)

• A piece of paper and pen
  

✨ How to Cast:

1. Write down what you want to send away (harmful policies, toxic people, the crushing weight of the patriarchy).

2. Light the candle and focus on your intention—imagine justice, empowerment, and karmic balance.

3. Burn the bay leaf while saying, "What is sent shall be returned. Harm to me becomes a lesson for thee."

4. Blow out the candle, knowing your energy has been set into motion.

Magic doesn’t replace action, but it fuels it. Keep speaking up, standing strong, and taking no shit.

And if you’re wondering if this kind of magic really works, just take a look at history. Movements powered by women, resistance, and radical energy have always shaped the world. Whether it’s literal spellwork or the ripple effect of women who refuse to back down, energy shifts happen when people dare to push back. Your power—your voice, your magic—matters more than you know.
