Cord Spell:

Step 1: Decide you begin the why, what, and how of your spell,

and choose the material, color and length of cord you will use.

Step 2: Put up a circle, invoke whichever deities you are comfortable with.

Consecrate the cord by passing it through the incense.

Cleanse it with salt and water and anoint it with oil.

Step 3: Sit in a comfortable position in the center of the circle.

Pick up your cord. Visualize what you want knotted into the cord and say:

By knot of one, this spell's begun (tie a knot in the center of the cord)

By knot of two, this spell is true. (Tie a knot halfway between one end of the cord and the center knot.

By knot of three, a thing for me. (Tie a knot halfway between the other end of the cord and the center knot)

By knot of four, open the door (Tie a knot halfway between knot number one and two)

By knot of five, the spell's alive (Tie a knot halfway between knot number three and your center knot)

By knot of six, my spell I fix (Tie a knot halfway between knot number 2 and the end of the cord)

By knot of seven, we'll go to heaven (Tie a knot halfway between knot number 3 and the other end of the cord)

By knot of eight, this work is great (Tie a knot on one end of the cord)

By knot of nine, my goal I'll find (Tie a knot at the other end of the cord)

So Mote it be!

Dip the knotted ends of the cord in the melted wax of a candle, sealing the power in.

When you are finished say,

and untie the knot, releasing what has been troubling you.

1. Burn it so that the knot may never come undone.
2. Keep it in a safe place where it won't be disturbed.
3. Bury it in the earth.

Undo Knot Magic
Simply undo the knot.

This doesn't always work so always be sure that what you are doing follows the Wiccan Rede.

Keep in mind when using any spells that you are conscious always of making sure that all spells

follow the Rede and harm none. This will include yourself. No spell should be used which will

force another to bend to your will. The only exceptions will be when someone is harming you,

even then all you should seek is to keep them from harming you or another.
