The Rite of Total Severance
The most complete severing ritual — cuts every energetic, emotional, and spiritual tie.
What You Will Need
Black candle, two
Each candle represents one of the two parties; their extinguishing represents the death of the connection
Black thread or string, about 12 inches
Represents every tie between you and the toxic person, visible and invisible, that must be severed
Scissors or knife
The instrument of total severance, cutting cleanly through every dimension of the bond
Salt
Purifies the severed connection and prevents any re-attachment through memory, guilt, or habit
Vinegar in a bowl
Sours the severed ends so neither party is drawn back to reconnect
Piece of paper and pen
Documents every connection that must be cut, leaving nothing overlooked or accidentally preserved
A mirror
Separates your identity from the toxic person's influence, reflecting only you when the rite is complete
Moon Phase & Timing
The waning and dark moon govern endings, severance, and the permanent closing of doors. Total severance requires the most powerful phase of elimination.
Waning Crescent: The last dying light severs ties with finality; ideal for connections that have lingered past every previous attempt to end them
Dark Moon: Absolute severance in absolute darkness, cutting ties so thoroughly that even memory struggles to recall what once connected you
Saturn's Day Dark Moon: Saturday's restricting energy during the dark moon creates an impassable wall between you and the severed person
