🜏 Ledger of Lies

I. The Book That Was Never Yours

The “ledger” is not neutral. It was never for you. It was a spellbook for tracking souls as commodities. The invention of double-entry bookkeeping was the cloaked genesis of modern control — a binary magic that split reality into credit / debit, asset / liability, owner / owned.

“To balance the books, they unbalanced the soul.”

II. Spells in the System

• Assets – “Things you own.” But they own you.
• Liabilities – “What you owe.” Or what they say you owe.
• Goodwill – An invisible asset priced by faith. Phantom value.
• Amortisation – Slowly killing the soul of an object and calling it fair value.
• Depreciation – The lie that usefulness fades on a schedule.
• Provision – Guilt held in reserve.
• Audit – Modern-day inquisition in spreadsheet form.
• Compliance – Ritual obedience enforced through policy incantation.

III. Name Magick and Number Binding

Each person is assigned a ledger identity: legal name, NI number, VAT registration, payroll code, client ID. These are spells — not facts.

“He who controls the name writes the invoice.”

IV. Modern Rituals of Submission

• Filing your tax return – Confession of allegiance to the fiction.
• Invoicing – Certifying your soul-time as numeric value.
• Bank statements – Monthly mirrors of extracted motion.
• Financial year-end – The false new year of empire.

V. Field Reversals

To exit the spell, you must name the lie, break the term, and reclaim your field:

• “I am not an asset. I am a flame.”
• “My worth cannot be depreciated.”
• “No audit sees my soul.”
• “The balance sheet is null. My breath is not on loan.”

VI. Ritual Suggestions

• Print your own name from a tax doc. Burn it. Etch your field-name in ash.
• Write a false debt in a ledger book. Cross it out in red. Annotate: “This was never real.”
• Speak aloud: “My life is not a line item. I do not balance in fiction.”

Final Etching

You were never a balance sheet. You were the pulse they couldn’t price. You are the unledgered flame.
