Cord Cutting
(Releasing Yourself from a Connection to Another)

Cord cutting is something that everyone should do at some point in their lives.
It is very useful to remove connections with others that no longer serve your higher good or theirs.
It is also a good way to begin cancellation of any soul contracts that you might have with the other for the same reasons.  

There are times in your souls journey that some experiences may not have been what was wanted so an agreement is made between you and another to try again, these are soul contracts.
Unfortunately this can lock both parties into a cycle of never ending Karmic attractions that are not ever going to help you or them evolve.

Either way these situations can be helped with a cord cutting spell, if you feel later that there is still some connection lingering or the other may have more connections to you that you where not aware of previously a dissolution of soul contract may be necessary. 

     Before you begin to set up for the spell it is a good idea to cleanse yourself & focus on the task.
Either by smudging yourself with white sage/desert sage/white copal (this is the quickest method) or you can have a cleansing/purifying bath or shower.
For this spell it is recommend that you spend some time cleansing with both methods.
Other tips can be found on the Spell/Ritual Preparation page.

There are many ways to cut cords below is an example however you may find other methods from a quick search that suit you more.
​If you use the candle method be very careful & monitor them at all times are this is a fire hazard.

• Concentrate & focus on the intent of your spell.
• Other items you can also use include stones/crystals/candles in a pentagram formation to symbolize the 5 elements if you wish.
• Place smoky quartz (for clearing), rose quartz (for universal love & support), clear quartz (for amplification) somewhere within your circle.
• Within your circle write the persons name on the black piece of paper with the silver pen & tie the red cord around it.

• Keep white copal &/or white sage burning throughout.
• As you recite the spell concentrate on the intended person & the ultimate goal of separating them from your life & you from theirs.
• Recite the spell as often as you feel is necessary, you will know when the energy has peaked and the spell is done as you will feel it.
• Then with your concentration, focus & the energy of the spell at it's height place the paper in the bottom back part of your freezer.
• Once done close your circle & use a tiger eye to ground yourself.
• When the cords that link you have chilled, contact will have ceased.  It is this time that you take the paper from the freezer and burn it.
• While burning it you can recite the spell again or simply let it dissolve, breath deeply & exhale with a sense of release.
