Today is known as Thread the Needle Day, which celebrates the idea of successfully navigating a difficult situation or limited window of opportunity in order to resolve a conflict. If you've ever tried to thread an actual needle, you'll understand how the expression came to be. Figuratively or physically, threading a needle takes patience, skill, and good (in)sight. If you're trying to bring two or more opposing sides or viewpoints together to end a dispute or promote community, here's a handy spell to try.

For each person or side, assign them a three-inch square piece of cotton cloth. (Your choice of color or pattern—you can get creative if you'd like!) Write their name or opinion on one side. Next stack the squares of cloth so the names/ issues face inward. Then using black thread, either by hand or by machine, sew them together along the sides, focusing on unity and resolution. Finally stitch an X from corner to corner across the squares, fully uniting them. Place the sewn square on your altar or in a place where these folks will meet up next.
