Spell Name: The Severing Veil

Purpose: To permanently cut energetic, emotional, or spiritual ties between you and another—obliterating their access, influence, or connection to your field. Not just a banishment—this is a total erasure.
Materials:
1 strip of black cloth (preferably from something once meaningful)
3 black chime candles
1 silver needle
13 drops of shadow oil (mugwort, myrrh, and wormwood blend)
A lock of your own hair (or a thread tied with your breath)
Burned remains of a note with their name written in vinegar
A small obsidian shard
Black thread (unbroken and knotted once at the center)
Timing:
Performed under the waning crescent moon, between midnight and 2:00 a.m.
Ritual Steps:

  1. Prepare the Room
    Darken all light. Only the 3 black candles should be lit—placed in a triangle around your working space. Silence is mandatory. No music. No interruption.
  2. Mark the Cloth
    Lay the strip of cloth flat. With the silver needle, begin piercing a line through the center of the fabric. As you do, speak:
    “Through flesh and thread, I mark this line,
    To sever ties that once were mine.
    No echo left, no bond remains,
    I break the soul, I burn the chains.”
  3. Infuse with Shadow Oil
    Drop 13 drops of shadow oil across the cloth. Do not rub it in. Let it soak where it falls. Place the obsidian shard in the center. Wrap the hair/thread around it, forming a tight seal.
  4. Burn the Past
    Take the burned remains of their name (originally soaked in vinegar) and place them atop the obsidian. Say:
    “By ash and acid, name undone.
    You are forgotten. You are none.
    No tie to me shall linger still,
    Erased beneath my boundless will.”
  5. Final Binding
    Wrap everything tightly in the cloth and bind it with the black thread, pulling it so tight that the knot groans. Tie seven knots. On the seventh, chant:
    “One for the cut, two for the void,
    Three for the silence, four destroyed.
    Five for the mirror, six for the wall,
    Seven—your shadow answers no call.”
  6. Disposal
    Bury this wrapped bundle far from your home—under dead roots or hollow stone. Never return to that spot. Do not speak their name again.
    Aftermath:
    You may feel drained for 48 hours. Drink dark tea, rest, and avoid contact with emotionally charged individuals. The severing begins immediately—most targets spiral, vanish, or become entirely unaware of your existence. Their pull is undone.

This sounds like a solid cord cutting and defensive spell all in one. While we never want to be in a situation that requires it, it’s great to have spells like this on hand.

Thanks for sharing, AIRAM! :heart: :sparkles:
