Cord Cutting Ritual Work

Writer: Toni KenistonToni Keniston

Everything you need to know to conduct your own Cord Cutting Ritual.



Cord cutting rituals are a common practice for witches and energy workers who want to release any energetic ties to a person, place, or circumstance. It's recommended that the person who wants to release the energy is the person who conducts the ritual, however, many witches will facilitate this spell work for others when needed.


Energetic ties, contracts, and cords are agreements made subconsciously. Depending on your belief system, you may come into this world with certain agreements designed to help you evolve and transform.


In my belief system, I believe that we create these agreements in the Spirit realms to help us learn the lessons and experience humanity through a certain lens. I believe that challenging human relationships and situations are not this way by default within Spirit. We are pure love in our Spirit form and we simply adopt roles in each others human lives in order to fulfill certain contracts with each other.


Let's use an example: A mother is awful to her daughter throughout her life. Verbally and emotionally abusive, cruel. This dynamic, while uncomfortable in the human body, was agreed upon in Spirit. This dynamic helps to teach the daughter what she does not want in her life. She becomes a better mother by learning from the mistakes of hers. Her life experience helps her make choices that she may not have otherwise made. She learns the lesson of having a poor mother figure and uses it to her benefit.


Being able to separate the Soul from the Human and love them (from a distance) in spite of their actions towards you in a life's work of inner work. It is what many humans are called to Earth to do.


So what about when the daughter has learned everything she needs to from this dynamic but the Mother is still in spirited contract to continue this dynamic. This is a time when cord cutting rituals can be used to sever any emotional or spiritual agreements made subconsciously while your conscious mind and body can create the physical actions to create space and make peace with self.


The goal of a cord cutting is not to create any physical boundary between you and another person. Unfortunately, physical problems must be handled with physical solutions. Good boundaries, healthy communication, and aligned action will be needed too. But this ritual can help you to set and solidify your intention as well as call in energy to help you release that which is no longer serving your growth.


Below are instructions for conducting your own Cord Cutting Ritual. Try not to be overwhelmed by the supplies as this ritual can be done with two simple candles and a piece of string if needed. Your belief and intention are the most important ingredients. If you'd like to make your life easier, you can purchase one of our Cord Cutting Rituals at our online Swampstand. It includes everything you need as well as foraged Black Nettle from the Swamp. Here are some journaling prompts you can meditate with during your ritual:

  • How has this person/situation affected me physically, emotionally, and spiritually?

  • What have I learned from this about myself?

  • What truths about myself am I taking with me as I enter a new chapter?

  • If I could handle things differently, would I?

  • What do I look forward to in the next chapter? What am I eager to be rid of?

  • How do I feel, honestly, towards this person/situation at present? How do I want to feel?
