A strange occurrence happened overnight, noticed after I woke up. Many months ago, pre-succubi bonding ritual, during one of my greater communion times that I spent with Lilith, I created a Witches Knot bracelet (or also known as a Witches Ladder) and set my intentions into the twine as I tied a knot for each intention. The cord I used is a hemp-colored light-tan twine material. I have been wearing it ever since, so probably over half a year now.

      Recently, just in the past couple weeks I have been contemplating cutting it off to make a new one. Simply because most of the intentions I set all those many months ago have already been fulfilled. But this morning when I woke up (I didn’t notice until washing my hands) there were several strands of thin black thread wrapped around the cord. Intertwined, criss-crossing around itself and the tan twine, like it had been woven around and incorporated into the original bracelet. And the black thread was pulled tight! Even where I could see the “ends” of the thread, it was tightly wrapped around the twine, encircling it intricately.

      It makes no sense where it came from, how it got there, and wrapped in such a deliberate way. And I say ‘deliberate’ because as soon as I saw it, I was astonished; the weaving pattern of the thread around the twine matched in the exact manner in which I use to wrap twine around the rose stems of Lilith’s and Mia’s roses, before I suspend them upside down to preserve them as decoration and protective warding around my room and home.

      I use a thick black twine to wrap around the rose stems, which I think looks intimate in the same way that shibari looks tantalizing. And now, inexplicably, my own tan-twine Witches Knot bracelet has the same shibari-crossing pattern interlaced around it, but done in black thread!

      I don’t know if Lilith or Mia are trying to send me a message (or what that message might be), but I’ve decided against removing this bracelet. I don’t know how long the thread will remain attached but I’ll enjoy seeing it, as long as it still remains.
