The new moon affords us the ability to start anew. In the dark of night, we can leave behind the unnecessary and come out into the light. We can let go of the things and people that hold us back from being the best version of ourselves.

For this spell you will need a length of string or thread and a pair of scissors. Before beginning, take a moment to take a deep breath and release it in order to ground yourself. List out to yourself mentally or write down what you want to cut ties with. Once you have the list, take your string in your hand and say:

I choose to cut these ties
so that I may rise.

Then cut a part of the thread. Repeat as many times as you have items to cut ties with. Once you have finished, take the pieces of string and throw them in the trash.
