I was in a tangled emotional situation for a few months, and it took a thwack upside the head from a few Gods, some vivid lucid dreams, and my soul-sister telling me I really needed to just.let.it.go. before I decided to move on and get out of this really stressful situation before I lost my mind and my heart was broken.
Being a spontaneous Aries, I performed a ritual on the fly last night to "cut the cord" so to speak so I wouldn't have any lingering psychic connection to the other person and so I could move on. I set up my alter, grabbed a candle, my Boleyn "B" necklace (I feel a strong connection to Anne Boleyn. In a lot of ways, I think there's quite a few similarities between us, and goodness knows I have her personality, haha), two rocks, thread, scissors, and my Athame.
I wrote my name and the other person's name on a piece of paper, taped it to a rock and a crystal I had on my alter, and tied the black cord around them both, to symbolize said connection. I asked my Gods, my Blessed Dead, and the Elements to break the connection, and also to empower my B necklace with protection (to help keep me from getting hurt, just in case there's still some lingering psychic tendrils). I cut the cord, and let it sit in my cauldron over night.
This afternoon, I purified my B necklace over fire, and used a candle to kindle a fire that burned the tape, the pieces of paper, and the thread--thus ending the psychic connection to the person in question.
I won't lie, it was tough. I started crying in my circle because I know I'll probably never see this person again. It's over, once and for all. I had my iPhone (what I use to take the pictures of my ritual set up) and started to play a few songs I had uploaded on there that reminded me of the situation. It made me cry even more, but I felt cleansed and more balanced afterwards.
I'll also be wearing my B necklace tomorrow, in honor of Queen Anne Boleyn and also as a reminder that like her, I too am a strong woman.
