You’re staring at your bank account again. The rent is due, or maybe you’re just tired of saying no to the things you want.

The most powerful deities in modern witchcraft share one thing: they said no when told to submit. Lilith refused to lie beneath Adam. Lucifer refused to remain ignorant.

The root chakra, known in Sanskrit as Muladhara,…
