Repeatable practices: what they do, what goes in, what comes out, and a worked example.
A practice
Planetary timing
Choose the day and hour for a working from the Grimoire's planetary sequence.
What it is
To give a working a time-shape, not to wait for a perfect moment.
At a glance
- Inputs
- An operation; a planet; a day; an hour; a location.
- Outputs
- A dated working, a note of the hour used and a record.
How to do it
Choose the planet that matches the operation. Use its day and its hour where possible. If the hour is impractical, use the day and note the compromise. Start the working at the beginning of the hour and close it at the end, or at the next planetary boundary.
A worked example
A Mercury working for a message is done on Wednesday at the Mercury hour. If the hour falls at 3am, it is done on Wednesday and the card says 'day only'.
Variations
- Use the planet of the operation rather than the planet of the day.
- Run a seven-day series, one planet per day, and compare the records.
- Use the hour daemon to remind you at the start of each hour.

- Dismissing a construct The close: recall, destroy the material basis, archive the record and return attention.
- Glitch divination Read an error, a crash, a repeated fragment or a broken feed as the draw.
- Feeding a construct The scheduled attention, offering or repetition that keeps a construct active.
- Algorithmic divination Use a random value, a hash, a feed order or a search result as the casting medium.
- Egregore work Give a group a shared name, sigil, story and ritual, and treat the resulting atmosphere as a construct.
- Digital altar Arrange a screen, folder or page as a place you return to for attention and offering.
