The 10th Black Pullet ring: be invisible

The Black Pullet, and the tenth ring

The Black Pullet is a grimoire of rings and talismans, each one made for a particular purpose, and each one distinct from the others. That is the first thing to understand about this ring: it is not a general Black Pullet ring, and it is not interchangeable with the other rings in the series. It is the tenth ring, and its purpose, as given in the title, is to be invisible. A practitioner who orders it should know which ring it is, and what it is for, before it arrives, because the series is built on that specificity. Each ring has its own design, its own purpose, and its own place in the work, and the tenth ring's place is invisibility.

Invisibility, in this context, is not a trick of the eye in the stage sense, and it is not a claim that the wearer literally vanishes from sight. It is the grimoire's purpose for this ring: to be invisible, to pass unnoticed, to go where one wishes without being seen or detected. That is a practical, worldly aim, as much as a magical one, and it is worth thinking about in practical terms, as well as in ritual terms. To pass unnoticed is to move quietly, to draw no attention, to be present without being remarked upon. That is a skill, as well as a working, and the ring serves the working, not a substitute for the skill.

Before you order, be clear, in your own notes, about what invisibility means for the working you have in mind. Is it passing unnoticed through a place, going about an errand without being remarked upon, being overlooked in a crowded setting, or being unnoticed in a more general sense, in a situation where attention would be unwelcome? Those are different aims, and they call for different behaviour from you, even if the ring is the same. Write the aim down, in one sentence, and keep it in your record, so that you can read the working afterwards against a clear petition, rather than a vague wish.

Hand made, hand engraved in wax

The rings in this line are each hand made with the proper materials, and the designs are hand engraved right into the wax used to create the rings. That is a strong statement, and it is worth taking seriously, because it tells you what kind of object this ring is, and why it is made the way it is.

Hand engraving into wax means the design is cut by hand, by the practitioner who makes the ring, before the ring is cast. The hand that cuts the design is the hand that knows the design, and that knows the purpose it serves. A hand engraved design carries the variations of hand work, and those variations are part of the making, not faults in it.

It will be the item listed in the title, and any other items shown are for information purposes only, and you will receive one ring, or one talisman. Do not expect the ring that arrives to be an exact copy of a photograph. Expect it to be the tenth ring, hand made, with its design hand engraved, and unique to its making. That uniqueness is not a disappointment to be managed. It is the point of hand made work.

Wearing a ring for invisibility

A ring is a fitting form for invisibility work, for a reason that follows from what a ring is. A ring is worn on the hand, it is present in every gesture, and it is seen — or, in this case, not remarked upon — in the ordinary course of the day. It is not a tool kept on an altar, and it is not a tool burned away in a moment. It is worn, through the day, in the places where passing unnoticed actually matters: in streets, in buildings, in gatherings, in any setting where attention is the thing to be avoided.

Wearing a ring for a working is different from wearing a ring as jewellery, and the difference is in the attention brought to it. A ring worn for a working is put on deliberately, with the purpose in mind, and it is worn with that purpose in mind, through the occasion. That does not mean thinking about the ring constantly, or checking it every few minutes. It means putting it on with a clear sentence in mind — the aim you wrote down before you ordered — and then attending to the occasion itself, quietly, without drawing attention to yourself or to the ring.

That quiet attention is itself part of invisibility work. A person who moves quietly, speaks quietly, dresses without ostentation, and does not draw attention to themselves, will pass unnoticed far more reliably than a person who wears a ring for invisibility while behaving in a way that draws every eye in the room. The ring supports the working, it does not replace the conduct that belongs to it. Prepare for the occasion as you would for any occasion where you wish to pass unnoticed: dress plainly, move calmly, speak only as needed, and leave when you need to leave, without fuss.

Preparing for the occasion

Before the occasion on which you intend to wear the ring for its purpose, prepare yourself, not just the ring. Know where you are going, why you are going there, and what you need to do while you are there. A person who is lost, hurried, or uncertain will draw attention, however fine the ring, because uncertainty shows in the body, in the face, and in the voice. A person who knows where they are going, and what they are doing, moves with a calm that is itself unremarkable, and therefore unnoticed.

Put the ring on deliberately, before you leave, with the purpose in mind, in one clear sentence. Do not put it on in a rush, in the car, or while thinking about something else entirely. The act of putting it on, done with attention, marks the beginning of the working, in the same way that lighting incense marks the beginning of a room working. After that, let the ring do its ordinary work, as a worn tool, and attend to the occasion itself.

During the occasion, attend to the ordinary work of passing unnoticed: move at an ordinary pace, do not linger where lingering draws attention, do not stare, do not speak loudly, and do not behave in a way that marks you out. Those are ordinary, practical matters, and they are part of the working, whether they are named in a ritual or not. A ring for invisibility, worn by a person who behaves conspicuously, is a working at war with itself.

Working with the ring, beyond wearing it

The ways of working with a seal or a ring, in this line generally, include holding it, putting it under a candle, putting oil on it, carrying it, wearing it as a pendant or, in this case, as a ring, and showing it to the desired person, where the working concerns another person and the tradition calls for it. For a ring, wearing is the primary use, and the other uses belong to the preparation and the working that precedes the wearing.

Before the occasion, you may hold the ring during a working, speak the petition over it, or place it under a candle, as your practice calls for, so that the ring enters the occasion already prepared, rather than being put on cold. If you anoint rings in your practice, anoint this one as you would any new ring, with the purpose in mind, before its first wearing for that purpose. If you do not anoint rings, do not start doing so merely because an article mentions it. Follow the practice you already have, and let the new ring enter that practice in the ordinary way.

After the occasion, put the ring away in its proper place, among your working tools, rather than leaving it loose where it can be knocked, lost, or confused with ordinary jewellery. A working ring kept among ordinary rings will lose its association, and a working ring lost altogether is a working tool gone. Keep it in its place, clean it as its material requires, and check it from time to time, as you would any worn piece.

Keeping a record, and reading it honestly

Keep a short record for each occasion: date, place, purpose in one sentence, how the ring was worn, what you did yourself, and what you noticed afterwards. Note, in plain language, whether you were noticed, whether you were remarked upon, whether you passed through without attention, and what you actually did during the occasion. Not what you hoped would happen, but what happened.

That record is what separates invisibility work from wishful thinking. Without it, every quiet occasion becomes proof, and every occasion where you were noticed becomes a disappointment, and neither tells you anything reliable. With it, you can see whether a pattern is forming, whether a particular setting suits the work better than another, and whether your own conduct is changing in the direction you intended — quieter, calmer, less remarked upon.

Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Wear the ring deliberately, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a further working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise.

What this ring does not do

A ring for invisibility does not make you literally invisible, and it does not make reckless behaviour safe. If the occasion involves a legal, safety, or other ordinary-world matter, deal with that matter in the ordinary world first, or at the same time. Ritual work is not a substitute for that, and a ring does not change that. Passing unnoticed, as a working aim, belongs alongside ordinary care, not instead of it.

A ring also does not fix a petition that was unclear to begin with. If you did not know what invisibility meant for the occasion, or why you wanted it, a ring, however well made, will not supply that clarity. It will only give the unclear petition a new object to sit over. Do the clarifying work first, and let the ring serve a clear purpose.

Finally, a ring is not a collection piece in this context, however fine it may be as an object. If it is bought to be admired and never worn, that is a choice, but it is not the working use described here, and it should not be confused with it. A ring that is worn, deliberately, for its purpose, and recorded afterwards, will teach you far more about your practice than a ring that is only looked at.
