A Guide to Cord-Cutting Rituals and Energetic Cords
What is cord-cutting, then? I am delighted to enlighten you, because I can speak from lived experience how powerful and healing cord-cuttings can be.
A cord-cutting is a severing of energetic cords that connect you to something you just don’t want to be connected to anymore! You know how it goes: you split up with your partner, or perhaps you’ve had a falling out with a close friend. No matter the months that pass, and the knowledge that you are moving on… there’s still something that binds you to them.
It might be in your heart, an emotion or wound that you just can’t let go of (you may even be pushing it down into your shadow). The person could be taking up residence in your head; you’ll be going about your business just fine and boom – a thought or memory of them intrudes. Or maybe you can’t stop replaying how it ended, wishing you’d said or done things differently.
Who & What Can You Cut Cords From?
You can cut cords to people, for sure, and the cords could be emotional, psychological, or something else entirely.
What may surprise you is that you can also cut cords to things that aren’t people. You can sever the connection to situations, a time of your life, or a place. You can even cut the cord to a false belief, an old way of thinking, or a habit that doesn’t serve you anymore.
Whatever the situation, you know that this connection is not serving you.
You can also cut cords to generational or ancestral trauma. I cut the cords to a trauma that ran back at least 4 generations on my dad’s side.
The Sole Requirement
I should note here, it’s my belief that for a successful cord-cutting, you’ve got to want to cut the cord. Magick is brilliant and it helps and works, but it’s not going to do the heavy lifting for you. A cord-cutting won’t magically cure you of an addiction or dependency, and it won’t retrain your brain for you. You need to be taking aligned action in the earthly realm too!
How to Perform a Cord-Cutting
Witchcraft Ritual/Spell
Cord-cuttings can be performed in a few different ways. Being a witch, I love performing a cord-cutting ritual. You don’t need much for this: two candles (ideally one black and one white), and a piece of string. The other must-have is your burning desire and intention to cut the motherfucking cord!!! Tie the cord to each candle, mindfully, thinking about the connection that you are severing.
Light the candles and watch the flames carefully. I like to talk a lot during my cord-cuttings, and the flames will often respond to my words. How the candle burns and the cord severs will tell you about the nature of the connection, and the ultimate ending in the form of the ritual.
You can scry with the wax after the candles have burnt down, to get some extra messages.
If this all sounds a bit daunting, I would recommend investing in one of my handcrafted Cord-Cutting Ritual Kits. These kits have all you need (and a lot of extras) to help you cut the cords you need to cut. The kits also contain my magick (am a witch, remember!) and healing reiki energy, to support you as you do the work.
Cord-Cutting Meditation and Visualisation
You can also carry out a cord-cutting meditation or visualisation.
I tend to search YouTube and see what resonates with me. If after a few minutes’ listening I’m not vibing, I stop the video and find another. Generally the algorithm supports me in this. You’ll know if a meditation isn’t meant for you, and you will find one that does.
You could also carry out your own meditation, where you visualise the cord that connects you to the toxicity. See the cord, feel it, note your emotions. Then cut it, however you see fit. You might want to burn the fucker up, or attack it with a big sword. Scissors are also a good visual. Whatever works for you!
What to Do After a Cord-Cutting
Of course, the work doesn’t end with the cord-cutting. Protection afterwards is key, as sometimes the universe likes to test us! Don’t be surprised if your toxic person reaches out, or you see them afterwards. Stay strong and pull up your protections! I can also help you with magickal protection.
Self-care is also of the utmost importance. You have carried out some heavy emotional work, so be gentle with yourself. Rhodochrosite or rhodonite are amazing heart-healing crystals, helping you to release traumatic and painful emotions. Rose quartz is also great, and if all else fails get some clear quartz and tell it to be whatever crystal you want it to be.
Now, go forth and fucking prosper, free of the toxic connections!
