Cleansing & Banishing
The Cord-Cutting & Banishing
A combined cord-cutting and banishing ritual for severing and removing an influence.
What You Will Need
Two candles (black and white)
The black candle represents the connection or energy you are cutting, and the white represents your purified self after the cord is severed
A length of string or thread
Physically represents the energetic cord between you and what you are releasing; cutting it makes the release tangible
Scissors or a knife
To cut the string at the climax of the ritual, severing the energetic connection with a decisive physical act
Salt
Creates a protective boundary around your working space and absorbs any negativity released when the cord is cut
A fireproof bowl
To safely burn the cut pieces of string, completing the destruction of the connection
Moon Phase & Timing
Energetic cords form between you and anyone or anything you have invested emotional energy in. Cutting them during the waning moon ensures the severed connection dissolves completely rather than reattaching.
Waning Moon: Best for cutting cords to specific people, relationships, habits, or situations that are draining your energy
New Moon: Ideal for cutting cords you cannot identify, asking the ritual to find and sever whatever hidden connections are pulling at you
