A girl attempts to summon the notorious spirit of Bloody Mary.
—
She grabbed one of her scented candles and placed it on the desk next to her mirror, then placed another one on the opposite side of her desk. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a lighter, ignited the flame with a click, then lit both candles.
Turning off her bedroom lights, she walked to stand in front of the mirror. A shiver crept through her body. She knew she shouldn’t be doing this, but she just had to know if the legends were real. Call it a morbid curiosity or whatever you will.
“Bloody Mary,” she said once, looking straight into the mirror. “Bloody Mary,” she repeated again with ease. She had trouble with it the third time, and shut her eyes. No, I can’t do this!… but I have to. If I stop now, all will be for naught. She opened her eyes again. “Bloody Mary.”
Initially, nothing happened. The room was still as quiet as before, with the quiet hum of her air conditioning unit. Pfft, well that’s lame. Stupid! I knew it wouldn’t happen.
All of a sudden, the candles flickered as a wind blew through the room. But she had her windows shut. Gasping, she looked at the mirror. “No way…”
A ghostly figure appeared in the mirror, just as the legends had said. The figure resembled that of a human girl in a white dress, only it was more spectre than human, right out of the uncanny valley. It had voids for eyes with blood dripping from them, skin as pale white as snow, a bizarrely long neck, and long stringy black hair. It let out a ghastly screech, the likes of which humankind had never heard before.
The girl gulped as she looked in the mirror, then reached behind her and grabbed a bouquet of flowers in her right arm, extending them out to the mirror in front of her.
“Would you like to go to prom with me?”

Wrote this horror-comedy piece in about 5-10 minutes between classes. Contains one of my proudest plot twists ever.
WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT THIS? MY FIRST TIME IN ISZ, AND MY MIND IS FREAKING BLOWN.
Scary fact of the day: if you stand in front of your bathroom mirror at 2am and say "baby carrots" 3 times you will summon @auseryoumayknow :)

I’ve been reading this book every single free moment of my day today and a few hours yesterday. It’s got everything you need from a book: a workaholic, the occult, demons, a strong independent woman, polyamory, the list goes on!

Please come home, summer dragon... I had to use my male amiibo because I had no other Corrine offerings, but they have the same name.
Well, at leastattempt...
Ugh. Well, at least I still have a month to try. I didn't get Frederick or Robin either, but I managed to snag Gaius on the last day of the Ylissean summer. I pray the random number gods will look kindly on me.
Contacting an Incubator
It feels like most of the magical heroes, or aspiring magical heroes, in my orbit are working within the paradigm of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and I’ve seen many requests across platforms for tips regarding contacting Kyubey or another Incubator.
For the uninitiated, an Incubator is a ‘messenger of magic’; they grant a wish in exchange for service as a magical hero. In Puella Magi Madoka Magic and related works, those who form a contract with an Incubator must defeat witches—corrupted entities that feed upon the hopes and dreams of the masses.
Note: While this agreement may seem fair to some and the Incubator may seem enthusiastic to help by any means necessary, Incubators are known for their calculating ways and almost trickster-like mentality. Incubators cannot exhibit emotions of any kind and as a result Incubators often seem cold and uncaring. However, Incubators seek to achieve only one main goal; to preserve the universe from total entropy. To ensure this, they employ all logical and efficient means to create magical heroes.
You may want to try contact an Incubator if you want to initiate your magical hero journey or if you want clarity or direction regarding this kind of work. I’ve seen evidence of folks using a variety of methods in order to contact an Incubator, namely through evocation, divination, and invocation/channeling techniques. If you are a solo practitioner looking for this communication, I would definitely recommend the routes of evocation and divination. Here is how I would go about contacting an Incubator:
Prepare a dimly lit space with a mirror, and/or perhaps a candle, where you can work with minimal distractions. Banish as you would normally and prepare to meditate.
Position yourself comfortably in front of the mirror or candle. If you have both, try to place the candle beneath the reflection of your face or off to the side—just try to not obstruct the view of your reflection.
Relax your body and begin meditating with your eyes closed. Try to not focus on anything in particular and steady your breathing into regular intervals.
When you are satisfied with your breathing, open your eyes and stare into your reflection with a soft gaze (as in, you do not have to fight to keep your eyes wide open). Try to keep your eyes open for as long as possible before blinking and repeating, all the while keeping your breathing regular.
After a bit, you may notice your reflection changing or distorting, or you may start seeing things on the periphery of your vision. This is when, I believe, an Incubator may approach you—either by appearing behind or beside you visibly in the mirror or by altering your reflection entirely. This is when you can initiate telepathic conversation. Try to keep your breathing regular throughout this experience.
At this point, you can continue communicating telepathically or introduce a divinatory tool. If you want to use a form of divination, I recommend something simple like using a pendulum or automatic writing—something that is not too complex or requires a lot of effort as to not distract you from your breathing or could potentially break your connection.
When you are satisfied, or the Incubator leaves, close your eyes and ease out of state. Snuff any lit candles and banish to clear the space.
This post is part of my Magi Praxis series. If you have any suggestions for future topics, or you have attempted anything I have shared and want you share your experiences, please send me a message! I am always happy to go back and provide further explanation as well. ☆

This weeks response to The Writer’s Mess Friday Picture Prompt is a little odd, as the image makes me think of ink monsters. So I went with it, and you can read along with the story of a man who didn’t believe, and got everything he asked for… He lit the candle, and said the words, but he hadn’t expected for anything to happen. Everyone knew that magic wasn’t real, and he did too, right up until…
