Hex White Supremacy

A ritual of protection from the harms of unfair favoritism for whiteness

This is a hex for white supremacy that I wrote, which you can use to begin the process or continue the process of releasing yourself from the harms of white supremacy. This is not intended to be associated with any particular witchcraft tradition, but is based on my experience of working with clients and myself on the essentials of releasing from the oppression of white supremacy and my personal experience of magic and manifestation.

If you are doubtful about your ability to engage with magic or manifestation, you can read the spell and think about how to engage with these concepts safely. Then, start to notice how your actions and inactions impact the world around you. That is enough as a first step.

If you are curious or confident about your magic and manifestation powers, make this right and safe for you and those around you!

What is a hex? My personal definition of a hex is “A ritual spell of protection from active harm.” This is not necessarily the definition others use, and some use hexes to cause harm, which I believe to be contrary to the essential principles of witchcraft. People can turn anything into a weapon, though.

If you use a different definition of hex, you can keep that, but don’t come at me about my definition.

The primary principle of witchcraft is “an it harm none, do what ye will.” This contains within it personal sovereignty as an essential right and respect of the sovereignty of others as a guide for conduct.

One way to think about respecting the sovereignty of others is that a hex should avoid interfering with the karma of others. This is because any time you put your fingers into another person’s karmic cycle, you get karmic backsplash. The less you agree with someone else’s behavior, the less you should insert yourself into their karma.

What is white supremacy? White supremacy is a system of favoritism for whiteness and qualities associated with whiteness. The concept of biological race was invented in the 15th century by people with lighter skin (“whiteness”) in order to justify theft of goods and services from people with darker skin. Unfair favoritism for whiteness is a source of economic, physical, and emotional dysfunction and suffering.

All of us enforce white supremacy in one way or another in western society, unless we are actively working to unlearn the assumptions and undo our participation in the systems that uphold white supremacy. The harms from white supremacy also impact all of us, even those who appear to benefit from it. Perpetuating unfairness creates more unfairness. Likewise acting with courage creates more courage.

White supremacy and having light skin are very different things. Healthy honoring of white ancestral history does not ask for unfair favoritism and is not violent against other cultural backgrounds. For example, I have Celtic ancestral origins, and the Celts, like other cultures, honored seasons, the earth, and community. We have also perpetrated incredible harms against people different than us. Both can be true. We can be accountable for harms and also honor our abilities to learn and grow.

Timing. You can hex white supremacy anytime, but as I am writing this we are starting the new calendar year and heading toward a Cancer full moon. This feels, to me, like an auspicious time to bring energy of what it truly means to be in community to my spells.

The moon will be in Cancer in the early morning of Saturday, January 3, 2025, and so Friday the 2nd or Saturday the 3rd capture this full moon energy if you want to use it. The full moon means that the Sun will be in Capricorn and the Moon will be in Cancer. Capricorn energy is associated with institutions and systems, and Cancer energy is associated with loyalty to the community. This is a good time to root out places where those manifest in unhealthy ways and commit to healthy expressions of both energies.

Do not place a timing expectation on this spell. This means, you may have to do ongoing work related to releasing white supremacy from your life, and this spell marks a commitment to do that work, not an expectation that it happen with no effort.

Steps. These are the steps to safely conduct this spell. If you follow a witchcraft tradition, use your system for casting your circle as you would with any other spell. This is not meant to replace your tradition.

1. Write out the spell on a clean sheet of paper. Parchment paper (like resume paper) is recommended, and it is recommended to use non-recycled paper so that old writings don’t mingle with your writing.

2. Gather representations of the elements and any protective deities, spirits, and ancestors who help and support you. For example, a candle can represent fire; water in a cup (I recommend a cup with no writing) represents water; music or a feather can represent air; and a crystal, rock, or oil you love can represent earth. Don’t overthink this. The important part is your intention, not the technicalities. If you intend to burn the spell, also gather a cauldron, pot, or other fire-safe container to put the burning spell into.

3. Go to a quiet space where you will not be interrupted. Either cast a circle or imagine yourself inside of a protective energy bubble.

4. Once you have a clear picture in your mind of the protective bubble around you, say out loud or in your head, “I clear this space of all positive and negative energies that may do me harm.” Invite any supportive spirits, guides, or ancestors to be with you.

5. Light your candle if you have one (SAFELY! If you light a candle, make sure you are in a fire-safe space with a fire-safe container).

6. Say the spell out loud, or if it is not safe to do that in your space, read through it and say it in your head. If you wish to burn your spell, do that now. Otherwise, you can set it aside.

7. Put out the candle using your fingers or a candle snuffer. Do not use this candle for another spell, but you can still light it and burn it down, remembering this spell.

8. Say, “This circle is open and remains unbroken. I send it to the cosmos to do my bidding.”

Text of the spell:

I, [name], ask in the name of the Goddess and the God to be granted freedom from the oppression of white supremacy.

I ask that my community and I be protected from all those who would use positive or negative energies of white supremacy to cause harm. I ask that the positive or negative energies of white supremacist harm be returned to those who send them out, for the growth and thriving of all.

I honor the beauty of Blackness.

I ask for the courage to encounter conflict, understanding that fear of conflict protects white supremacy.

I embrace my own flaws and mistakes, banishing perfectionism and defensiveness that would protect white supremacy.

I honor the space my body takes up and the sovereignty of the space others occupy. I release white supremacist favoritism toward smallness.

I embrace the wisdom of subjective experience and reality, releasing the deception of objectivity, falseness of exclusivity, and limitations of either/or thinking.

I ask for ears to hear feedback about where I have hoarded power or resources, and where I have tolerated others hoarding power or resources, that I might be restored to healthy and thriving community.

I release favoritism to whiteness.

I ask that my internal changes be reflected in my external environment.

I ask this be correct and for the good of all, harming none.

In no way will this spell reverse or place upon me any curse.

So mote it be.

UPDATE: I cast this spell on January 2, 2026, in the evening. This was very different than the Patriarchy Hex for me, and the experience was more like an exorcism than a gentle acknowledgment. I was staying in an AirBnB in Palm Springs, and I set off the fire alarm, broke the circle, and later experienced intense shame around my own judgments about what it means to get in trouble. My guess is that this spell will be experienced very differently by white people like me than people of other races, though I cannot be sure until you tell me your experiences.
