A working for releasing your energetic attachment to a person, situation, or old version of yourself.

What you'll need

A length of string or ribbon, scissors, two small pieces of paper.

Words to speak

“I'm not erasing what happened. I'm setting down what it costs me to keep carrying it. This tie is cut — the rest is mine to keep moving with.”

Say them as written, or put them in your own words — sincerity matters more than exact phrasing.

How to do it

Write the situation or person's name on one paper and your own name on the other. Tie the string loosely between them, hold both ends a moment, say the words, then cut the string cleanly down the middle. Keep your own paper; burn, bury, or discard the other along with the cut string. This is a symbolic release, not a wish for harm to anyone.

Safety
  • Never leave a candle or flame unattended. Burn paper only in a fireproof dish, away from curtains, pets and children.
  • Spells support real-world action; they don't replace medical, legal, financial or safety help.
