Primary Use

A Santa Muerte petition to cut and clear negative etheric cords attached to your spiritual or energy body.

NOTE: This petition was requested by a Patreon supporter. An etheric cord is an energy attachment that keeps us connected to people, places, and events. They can be thought of as energetic umbilical cords, feeding us either positive or negative energy. While it is no problem, and even desirable, to maintain positive etheric cords, maintaining negative etheric cords can sometimes result in negative feelings like doubt, shame, fear, et cetera. If you recognize etheric cords in your spiritual practice, then this Santa Muerte petition to cut and clear negative etheric cords is for you.

​As for the magick petition:

You Will Need

• 1 Length of Purple Cord - about one to two feet of purple yarn will work just great.
• 1 Pair of Scissors - to physically cut the purple cord.
• 1 Small Piece of Paper - about the size of an index card, or post card.
• ​​Cauldron / Burn Pot - for lighting the purple cord and piece of paper on fire.

• 1 Purple Offering Candle - to appeal to the Purple Cloaked Santa Muerte of psychic energy.

Select a Cord

The first step is to figure out which negative etheric cord you want to address. It is best to address one etheric cord at a time, so you do not split, or dilute, your spiritual and mental energy. Choose the etheric cord which is causing the most trouble, mental distress, or distraction in your life. Give your etheric cord an identifying name that is as short, succinct, and descriptive as possible. For example:

"Cord attached to John Smith, the liar and cheater," to target a cord attached to a negative person,

or "Cord attached to ABC Corporation, where my hard work was always overlooked," to target a cord attached to a negative place,

or "Cord attached to New Year's Eve, 2020, when I made a fool of myself", to target a cord attached to a negative event.

Manifest a Physical Cord

In order to make clear your intent to cut and clear an etheric cord, you will first manifest a physical representation of that cord, using a length of purple yarn.

When you know which etheric cord you want to target, and when you have named your cord, face your Santa Muerte altar, hold the length of purple yarn in your hand, and whisper over it - nine times - the identifying name you selected in the previous step.

After whispering the given name of the etheric cord over the length of yarn, a total of nine times, loosely wrap the yarn around one of your fingers - any finger will do.

As you loosely wrap the yarn around a finger, recite the Etheric Cord Cutting and Clearing Santa Muerte Magick Prayer, which you can find below.

NOTE: If you cannot wrap the yarn around your finger, then wrap around a toe, a wrist, or an ankle. Wrap LOOSELY - if the yarn becomes uncomfortable, or begins to cut off circulation, immediately remove the yarn and wrap again more loosely.

Wait 24 Hours

Next, leave the yarn in place, loosely wrapped, for at least 24 hours.

Over the next 24 hours, whenever you remember the yarn, or think about the yarn on your body, recite aloud or to yourself the given name of the cord, followed by the Cut and Clear Etheric Cords Santa Muerte Magick Prayer, found below.

Detach the Cord

After 24 hours, return to your Santa Muerte altar, and light the purple candle.

In the light of the purple candle, focus again on the given name of the selected cord. Recite the name of the cord, over and over, as you meditate on whatever negative emotions or memories you associate with the cord you are trying to cut and clear. Meditate on these negative emotions and memories for as long as feels comfortable. Do not worry about trying to hide or suppress your negative responses - allow your emotions to bubble to the surface, no matter what emotions might manifest. 

When you are ready to cut and clear the cord, begin to slowly unravel the purple yarn, as you recite the Cut and Clear Etheric Cords magick prayer, found below, over and over, until the cord is completely detached from your body. This is to represent plucking the cord by its root from your spiritual or energy body.

Destroy the Cord

As you perform these final steps, you may continue to recite the below magick prayer, over and over, while you work.

​While still at or near your Santa Muerte altar, hold the yarn over your piece of paper, then use the scissors to cut the yarn into several pieces. This is to represent cutting the power of attachment to whatever negative energy was feeding the etheric cord on the other end.

Fold the paper around the pieces of yarn, to create a small envelope with the yarn within.

Set the folded paper on fire, and let it, and the yarn contained within, burn to ashes in your cauldron or burn pot. This represents reducing the negative etheric cord to dust.

The etheric cord has now been cut and cleared - or at least severely weakened. Some etheric cords, especially those attached to especially traumatic people, places, or events, may require several repetitions of this petition before you experience liberation from the negative energy the cord attaches you to.

Cut and Clear Etheric Cords
Santa Muerte Magick Prayer

Santa Muerte, Holy Saint,
set me free, from this constraint.

Cut and burn this cord all through,
tear it from me, by the root.

No more power over me,
from this cord, I be set free.
