Listen, either everything is art or nothing is. If you want to sit tepidly acting like the only good and true arts are renaissance biblical paintings or marble sculptures, or things confined to museums, you're going to miss so much beauty in this world.
Brigid, probably.
I'm hoping to return to this blog soon with more witchcraft posts. Probably some self-care ones as well. Grief is a hard thing to work through but I'm no stranger to it. I've been feeling better over the last month or so. With spring comes a new start. I'll always miss my kitty. Some days that grief will shake me to my core. (And not everyone will understand why.) That's okay. As long as that emotion doesn't freeze me in place I'll be alright.

The last three weeks have been a particularly stressful time, starting with intense family drama and ending with the death of my beloved kitty.
My soul has a hole where my sweet Mordecia should be. Five years is too short a time to love such an exceptional creature as he was.
My deepest heartfelt thank you to the good friends who have stood beside me during all of this. You mean the world to me.

As today is World Photography Day, I braved the delightfully torrential weather and headed up to the Quantocks hills. Catching the tops of the forest in fabulous cloud and marvellous atmosphere, provided by Storm Ellen.

Spell to Cut Ties with Someone
Or, as I like to call it, “Live Long and Prosper (Without Me)”. This is a gentle spell meant to remove any connections with someone who has become toxic to your life and encourage them to move on away from you. This is not a spell to harm someone. This is to send them away with nothing but good will. My particular spell had some elements that prevent gossip and stalking as the person I’m removing is prone to both but you can omit this. This spell can be burnt or buried. I opted to burn it. I’ve also included the meaning behind each ingredient.
Supplies:
Small envelope - to hold the spell contents
Purple paper - permanent life changes
Silver gel pen - removing negativity
Scissors - cutting ties
Black yard or embroidery thread about 12″ (or 30cm) - similar to silver in removing negativity with the added bonus of keeping it away
Two pieces of yarn or embroidery thread in different colors about 12″ (or 30cm) One color for you and one color for them. Example: mine was cobalt blue and theirs was vivid red.
Black Pepper - stop gossip, ward off jealousy
Garlic Powder - remove negative energy, remove and ward off stalkers
Ginger - adds strength and speed to spells
Mint - Happiness, prosperity, positivity
Nutmeg - Prosperity
Sage - Cleansing
Optional:
Thyme - here I got a little creative; thyme can be used for banishing, loyalty, and affection so I combined that and used it to banish loyalty and affection between us. I also used it as a play on the word “time” as I’d known this person for the majority of my life.
Directions:
Gather everything you need and prepare your workspace as you like.
With the silver gel pen write every the name of the person you’re cutting ties and every nickname you can think of onto the purple paper. (I even went so far as to include their dead name.)
Use the same pen to write on the front of the envelope “Live Long and Prosper (without me).”
Place the paper into the envelope along with all of the herbs listed. (I usually say out loud what each one is being use for as I do this.)
Take a deep breath because this next part may be difficult on you.
Take all three threads in you hands. Focus on the person and who they were, what they meant to you. Then, focus on how toxic they became. The ways that they hurt you or used you. Push both positive and negative into the threads. Tie the three threads together at one end.
For every five years you knew this person tie another not in the thread. If you knew them less than five years, tie one knot for each year (and the same for months under a year). Any “leftover” time is included in the last knot.
Take the scissors and cut the thread between each knot, with each cut let go of both good and bad memories you have of this person. You want to let go of them entirely and send them on away from you with nothing but the best of intentions.
Put the thread into the envelope and seal it.
You may bury or burn the envelope from here.
Clean up and recover how you choose and live you’re life happy and free from them.
