Cord Cutting: A Full Moon Ritual for Releasing the Old and Embracing the New

In the realm of spiritual practices, cord-cutting serves as a powerful ritual for releasing outdated energies, relationships, or patterns that no longer serve our highest good. Timed with the Full Moon's illuminating energy, this practice can be particularly potent, offering a cosmic boost to our intentions of letting go and moving forward. Our "A Little Cord Cutting Ritual Kit" is designed to facilitate this transformative process, providing the tools and guidance needed to perform a meaningful and effective ritual.

The Significance of Cord Cutting

Cord-cutting is a metaphysical practice that involves energetically severing negative or unhealthy attachments to people, situations, or emotions. It's a symbolic act of releasing what's holding us back, allowing us to step into a state of healing and new possibilities. While cords of attachment can form with anyone or anything that has had an emotional impact on us, not all are negative. However, those that drain our energy or cause us pain are prime candidates for cutting.

Performing a Cord Cutting Ritual with the Full Moon

The Full Moon offers a perfect backdrop for cord-cutting rituals, its energy symbolizing completion, illumination, and release. Here's a step-by-step guide to performing a cord-cutting ritual during the Full Moon, utilizing "A Little Cord Cutting Ritual Kit."

1. Preparation

• Choose a date coinciding with one of the Full Moons in 2024. See the full list below.

• Set aside a quiet, sacred space where you can perform your ritual undisturbed. Cleanse this space beforehand using sage, palo santo, or your preferred method.

2. Intention Setting
• Reflect deeply on the cord(s) you wish to cut. This could be a person, a negative mindset, fear, or an unhealthy attachment. Write it down on a piece of paper.
3. Ritual Activation
• Place the two white candles from the kit in the holder, representing yourself and the person/issue you are releasing.
• Tie the pre-tied twine around both candles, symbolizing the cord between you.
• Light each candle, envisioning the flame as the transformative energy that severs the cord. As they burn, visualize the cord being lovingly cut and the release of both ends.
4. Visualization and Release
• Spend a few moments in meditation, sending love and healing to the cord's other end. Visualize both parties moving forward freely, unburdened by past ties.
• Allow the candles to burn down completely, symbolizing the complete severance of the cord. Ensure safety by not leaving the candles unattended.
5. Closure
• Once the candles have burned down, declare the cord-cutting process complete. You might say, "I release you with love and gratitude for the lessons learned. I am free, and you are free."
• Dispose of the candle remnants respectfully, and clear your space once more.
6. Aftercare
• Spend some time grounding yourself after the ritual. Drinking water, taking a salt bath, or spending time in nature can help.
