This spell is intended to banish an unwanted person from your life by cutting your ties with them and reclaiming your own energy while also sending theirs back to them.
Put this together for a friend so I thought I’d share. It’s a take on the good ol’ cord cutting ritual with a bit of folk magic woven in for extra oomph. Do not use unless you really truly NEVER want anything to do with this person ever again.
Supplies:
- 2 Candles of different colors (you can use two black, one black and one white, or two white)
- A fireproof flat surface like a plate or tray
- A red string of some sort
- Two pieces of paper + Pen
- OR swap the string and candles for a pair of candles with a single wick but that’s much much harder to find.
Steps:
1. Carve your name onto one candle and the undesired person onto the other using …anything, but a pin needle or knife if you wanna be spicy.
2. Place the plate down flat, adhere candles (either by sitting them down or melting the bottom a bit and wax sticking them on there)
3. Tie the red string around each candle, wrapping it a few times around the center.
4. On one sheet of paper write a wish for yourself, asking the energy you gave or that is being taken to come back to you. On theirs write out what energy belongs to them. List out their spiritual shit that you are leaving on their spirit curb.
5. Sit and light each candle. Say something or play music if you feel like it but you can do this in silence. While your candle burns down to the cord, light each of your papers with your respective candle (watch your fingers) and let them burn out in the a fire safe plate/surface/whatever below.
6. Sit and meditate with your candle until the cord has burned to a snap then when you are ready you may leave the candles to burn all the way down but maintain fire safety.
7. This next part is VERY IMPORTANT for this particular version of the spell and what I think adds the oomph: take the ashes from the burned paper and spread them into the winds of a crossroad ( hell, throwing them out your window as you pass over an intersection will do). Then take any solid parts that remained (wax, extra string, unburnt paper), and bury them in the soil of a graveyard, including the plate/surface if you’re hardcore but the plate isn’t required if you just wash it with a charged water or give it a salt rub down.
“Just string it together in any order, the more random it is the more complex it’ll sound" improvising music on the fly was one of Mozart’s party tricks
Not saying this guy is Mozart but he’s smart and clever and talented and way, way underappreciating himself

“How to fake being good at piano”
*teaches basics of actually playing piano*
kind of a nifty brain hack to start learning though.
no pressure to do the thing right right off the start, you’re faking it after all…
Spotify Premium ad: “Imagine playing music without interruptions! Infinite skipping! Replay the song you want! And even do it offline? No ads! Whatever songs you want! For a small monthly payme-” Me: *nods, turns off Spotify and turns on my MP3 player and does all the things they offer, but for free and with songs they don’t even have*
For those of you who might not know how to do any of this:
To convert CD audio into mp3s, you just follow the steps here
To play mp3 files, you download an mp3 player like Winamp here and away you go
On mobile? There are plenty of free mp3 players for your phone available, too, so check them out
You don’t need to be tethered to an online streaming service for your music. Be free.
You can also rip audio files from youtube and find files all over the internet. It is far easier to come across great and lesser known music if you dont limit yourself to spotify.
Here’s a tutorial on how to get the music and playlists you like with unlimited listening/downloads. This is a free way to do it that I believe is a balance between cost, time, and pros & cons:
If you have the CDs, it will be easier to rip them. Most music managers include this feature and you will have all the track information loaded into the file. There are also pirate websites where you can download entire albums with their metadata attached, but there could be risks associated (I would worry more about viruses than lawsuits these days, though). Deciding a method for acquiring music is a balance of the required time, the alternative costs, and other pros/cons like supporting the artist or taking the risk of pirating sites.
1. Find the song on Youtube. YT has pretty much every song at this point, usually in comparable quality to what you would get on a streaming service.
This is great if you already listen to music on Youtube, but there might be a better method for going direct from Spotify, though this will work either way. The main downside to this method is that official music (and even lyric) videos sometimes have non-music portions so you might have to listen to the whole thing to be sure. SponsorBlock will highlight non-music sections for most artists, so if you have it installed you can tell at a glance if this is the case.
2. Download the audio from YT. There are many ways to download YT videos completely for free. It’s probably against the YT terms of service, but you’re not going to get sued.
I like y2mate for downloading YT videos (or their audio in mp3s) because it’s a simple, ad-free website. You just paste in the URL for the video you want to download. Sometimes it’s laggy and you have to come back later, but usually after a few moments the video loads, you select your download quality (the highest), and then save it. For easy file management, download everything in folders for the Artist, and then sub folders for the Album, and name the MP3 file the “song name”.mp3.
3. Upload to your music player/manager of choice. The file will currently be lacking metadata (Artist, Album, track number, etc) and will be added to the library as a song with its title set as the file name minus its .mp3 extension. Various music players/managers have different ways to add metadata (usually accessed by right-clicking the song) with varying ease.
iTunes is free and and logical if you have an iPhone, but limited in its capabilities. I do all my management/listening in MusicBee (free for Windows) because of its playlist and management features, as well as having a very customizable interface. You can set it to scan the folders you download music to so it will automatically load things into your library, or do so manually. Once loaded into MusicBee, you can batch edit an entire album’s metadata at once easily with Auto-Tagging. Auto-Tag can fetch the details from the internet and fill in artist, tracks, album artwork, etc and save that information to the mp3 file. You can edit this manually if needed too. Drag and drop the edited songs to any other player you may want to add them to so it can find the files.
4. Now you can use the player of your choice to listen endlessly, form playlists, etc. Some free music managers also have music discovery/recommendation features for expanding your collection.
MusicBee allows you to create playlists with folders, subfolders, and dynamic features. You can export these playlists for cross-platform play on other computers with MusicBee installed. I think the playlist features on MusicBee are better than what is on streaming services. You can create an auto-playlist of your recently-added music so you can easily find the ones that are new and might need need editing, adding to other playlists, etc. I have custom tags for music by LGBT artists, sapphic love songs, and more. I also drag-and-drop these playlists directly into iTunes so I have them on my phone too (you can do this to make a new playlist or just edit/add songs to a current one).
There are many music managers/players, including cross-platform ones with streaming, though they usually have fees for that feature. Because you aren’t streaming the music and rather storing it, you’ll need space on each device you want to play the music on, but memory is cheap these days.
You can buy a 2TB external harddrive for less than Spotify or Youtube Premium costs for six months, so having to store the songs isn’t much of a downside. Plus, the song will never “leave the service”, you can listen to it offline, etc.
I do encourage people to pay for art, especially from small, independent artists. You have to pay for art if you want to keep it alive, but there is debate over if streaming services are really “paying the artist”. Alternatives include buying and ripping CDs, purchasing merch or tour tickets (where artists make a lot of their money), etc to support them with something other than streaming views.
Here’s my first Inktober attempt with actual inks ! It was damn hard ! I find that watercolor are way easier to use… Or is that just me ? I’m not really satisfied with it but at least, I did my best !
I wanted to record and doing videos like last year but I don’t have enough time for this unfortunatly. And by the way, it was really stressfull, last year because of it. I need to take it easy this year.
