Is there someone in your life that you can’t seem to break away from? Do they keep intruding in your sanctuary or causing undue anxiety? Maybe they were once a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor, a lover but the bond you have now is unhealthy and damaging. It’s time to let it go, to severe what ties you together. 

1. Find two candles of any color and carve your name into one and the other person’s name into the other or signify which candle is whose with symbols or other words.

2. Take a piece of twine, string, thread etc and tie a candle on each end. I recommend using something you aren’t attached to and is easy to break/cut. Also be aware of how close to your wick the string is because it can catch on fire, use caution always!

3. Light both candles and recite the following spell 3 times. While growing confident in what you want as you repeat it each time visualize the anxiety, pain, and negativity this person has caused you dissipating. It may also help to visualize chains breaking.

*this can be modified to encompass different relationships, more people, deities etc* *bonus: Create a sigil of protection and fold it into a heart by your candle to create an amulet to protect you from that person’s attempt to reestablish the bond*

4. Let the candles burn out (safely) or as close to nothing as you can get it. Once it is out you can dispose of the debris in the garbage, bury it, flush it (within reason) or whatever you normally do with spell materials.

Well, my entire life I always felt wrong growing up as a Christian not because of any particularly terrible experiences (there were a couple but I digress) but because of the ideology. The one and only god, the one right way, all of that never made sense to me. It felt to much like a box, limiting and closed off. As I grew older and learned more about various religions I had more of an appreciation for all religion (yes even Christianity) but none of it really spoke to me. So a few years ago I became more exposed (or more aware of my exposure) to metaphysics, paganism, etc and then about a year ago I started looking into it for myself. That is when I found that I wanted to be a pagan because it was so open for interpretation that my own beliefs were able to fit in with room to grow. Though paganism and the witchcraft can be separate for me they came hand in hand, I decided this is what I wanted and apart of being a pagan for me is also being a witch. Looking back throughout my life and even my early childhood I can see all of the forces or little things that happened to push me along this path, how I have always believed in magick and fairies and as a child I would pretend to build homes for them or I would do spells without ever really thinking about what I was doing. For me getting into wtichcraft was a constant evolution of my life all leading to the conscious point of hey this is what I want to be.  <3 Thanks for reading
