The diagnostic — 5 markers to look for in the footage
The tradition's standing threshold for action: two indicators is "pay attention." Four or more is "act tonight."
- Recurrence — the pattern repeating across unrelated surfaces
- Timing — the hour at which it arrives matters (the witching hours are 3-4am)
- Emotional residue — a drag on mood that does not match the apparent content
- Synchronicity — the alignment of the encounter with a private vulnerability
- Persistence — the pattern that does not break with normal action
What to do tonight — the imperative protocol
The tradition's response is not abstract. It is direct, specific, and physical. Take these in order:
- Stop. Note the time. Note where you were. Note what you were doing.
- Do not engage. The first folk-magic rule applies: do not name yourself, do not acknowledge, do not respond.
- Call on Archangel Michael. Speak the prayer aloud or write it down.
- Carry the paired stone. Diamond, worn or pocketed for at least the next forty days.
- Bless the threshold. Salt across the doorway; iron at the door frame; holy water if available.
- Repeat for forty days. The medieval tradition is consistent on this duration.
