Instructions:

1. Cleanse the Space

   Light the incense and allow the smoke to cleanse your space. This creates a purified environment for your ritual and puts your mind into a deeper state of connection with the energy of the moment.

2. Reflect on the Release

   Reflect on the person, place, or thing you would like to release yourself from. Feel the connection of the energetic cords binding you.

3. Write Your Intention

   Write down everything you are ready to release on the piece of parchment paper. This will solidify your intention with written words.

4. Prepare the Black Candle

   Hold the black candle and concentrate on the cords you are about to cut. Connect to the energy you are releasing and give thanks for any important lessons this person, place, or thing gave you. You can take what serves you and release the rest.

5. Place the Black Candle

   Place the black candle on one side of a fire-safe dish or tray. The black candle symbolizes what or who you are releasing.

6. Prepare the White Candle

   Hold the white candle and think about who you will be when these cords are no longer connected to you. Focus on your liberated self.

7. Place the White Candle

   Place the white candle a few inches from the black candle on the dish or tray. The white candle represents you in this ritual.

8. Fold the Parchment

   Fold the parchment and place it between the candles. Place your intention in the center of the ritual.

9. Wrap the String

   Wrap the string around each candle, looping first around the black candle and then the white candle. This symbolizes the energetic cords to be cut.

10. Create a Protective Circle

    Pour a circle of black salt around the candles on the dish. This will ensure the energy of release is harnessed and captured within the ritual space.

11. Light the Candles

    Light both candles and let them burn all the way down. Watch as the fire breaks the string. It is important to be present with the flames as the ritual continues. The way the cord breaks can tell you a lot about the bond you had with this person, place, or thing, and will show you how ready (or not) you truly are to release.

12. Dispose of the Remains

    When both candles have burned completely, dispose of the wax and the paper. This will finalize the release and affirm that you are free.

Conclusion

By performing this cord cutting ritual, you have actively released unwanted energies and reclaimed your personal power. Embrace the sense of liberation and positivity that follows, knowing that you have the strength to shape your own reality and move forward with clarity and strength. It is done.
