enchanted paper chain spell ✈️
this spell combines the paper chain (counting down to christmas as a child, anyone?) with magick to maintain a healthy and loving long-distance friendship or relationship until you meet again 💞
materials:
pink paper (partnerships, romance, new beginnings, compassion)
pen
scissors
tape or stapler
white candle (cycles of life and change, transformation, connection to self)
rose petals (lasting relationships, divine love)
apple seeds (healing, luck, sexuality)
rose quartz
clear quartz
method:
cut strips out of the paper and on each strip, write the number of days (in descending order) until you see your loved one. as you cut, meditate on the pain and release of breaking up the present form to build something stronger and more beautiful.
use the tape/stapler to link the strips into one another. the final strip (1 day left) should be at the end. the act of connecting the chain links acts as a binding you to your loved one, but only day by day - never longer than desired.
lay the completed chain in a circle on the ground. in the middle of the circle, place the candle and crystals and sprinkle the rose petals and apple seeds. as you place the items in the circle and light the candle, recite the words: In this paper chain, I hold the endless cycles of death and rebirth. Mother Moon, please fill the space between my loved one and I with compassion, honesty, understanding, and tenderness. Assist us through this difficult parting and allow us to grow as a unit and as individual parts during this time. I ask for the understanding that everything is ever changing and that this pain is temporary. As I break each link from the chain, let me be filled with the hope of the new day and allow me to nurture myself and my partner.
charge the chain link under the moon and then hang the enchanted chain from somewhere visible in your home! remove one chain link every day until you see your loved one again.
