Some soul ties feel magical at first. The connection is strong, maybe even obsessive, and it can feel like fate pulled you together. But over time, the bond turns heavy. It lingers even when the person is gone. Their energy clings to you like a shadow you didn’t ask for.
You might still dream about them. Feel their emotions pop up in your chest out of nowhere. Or maybe you just can’t seem to fully move on, no matter how much time passes. That’s the sign of a soul tie—an energetic cord between two people that goes deeper than logic or memory.
Not all soul ties are healthy. Some come from toxic relationships, karmic lessons, or one-sided bonds that drain you instead of lifting you up. And sometimes, they stick around even after you know in your gut it’s time to let go.
This is where witchcraft steps in. A little magic, a little ritual, and a lot of intention can help you finally cut those cords. If you’ve been feeling stuck in someone else’s energy and want to take your power back, this guide is for you.
What Is a Soul Tie?
A soul tie is a deep energetic connection formed between two people. It can be created through intimacy, shared trauma, emotional bonding, or spiritual experience. These ties can feel magnetic—but not all are meant to last. Some are beautiful, others are painful, and a few are just lessons in disguise.
When a soul tie becomes unhealthy, it can leave you feeling emotionally hijacked. You might obsess over someone who’s no longer in your life or carry guilt, sadness, or desire that doesn’t even feel like yours anymore. That’s your sign—it’s time to cut the cord.
Spell to Break Toxic Soul Ties and Reclaim Your Energy
1. Gather What You Need: Breaking Soul Ties Spell Kit
You don’t need anything fancy, but here’s a basic setup for a soul tie-breaking ritual:
-
A black candle (for banishing)
-
A white candle (for purification)
-
A piece of string or thread (to represent the tie)
-
Something that represents the person (photo, letter, or even their name on paper)
-
A small bowl of water with salt
-
Scissors
-
Optional: herbs like rosemary or sage, crystals like obsidian or black tourmaline
Set your space quietly and intentionally. Light your candles and center yourself. You’re not just going through the motions—this is about releasing energy and making space for your healing.
2. Cutting the Cord Ritual: Step-by-Step
-
Ground Yourself – Sit in silence. Breathe deep. Focus on your intention: to free yourself from this tie.
-
Visualize the Connection – Hold the string between both hands. Imagine it as the cord between you and the person. Picture it clearly.
-
State Your Release – Say something like, “I release you and all energetic ties between us. I take back what is mine, and I return what is yours.”
-
Cut the String – With the scissors, cut the thread. Let yourself feel that moment. It’s real.
-
Cleanse – Burn a little rosemary or sage. Dip your fingers in the salt water and lightly touch your heart and forehead.
-
Let It Burn – (Optional but powerful) Burn the paper or item representing the person in a safe space, visualizing the energy dissolving into smoke.
3. Aftercare: Spiritual Cleanup and Protection
Once you’ve cut a soul tie, you might feel tired, emotional, or even lighter than usual. That’s all normal. Take time for self-care. Cleanse your space with incense or sound. Take a salt bath. Drink water and rest.
Over the next few days, journal what comes up. Notice how your energy shifts. If you feel any lingering emotions, repeat the ritual or speak affirmations like: “I am whole. I am free. I am no longer connected to what no longer serves me.” Give yourself time. Soul healing doesn’t follow a clock.
Free to Be You Again
Letting go of a soul tie isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about reclaiming your energy. Every tie you break frees up a little more of your spirit, your magic, and your peace. You’re allowed to let go of connections that hurt. You’re allowed to choose yourself.
Witchcraft gives us tools, but your intention is the real spell. The moment you decide you’re done carrying someone else’s weight is the moment the healing begins. Keep going. You’re doing powerful work.
