If you feel like an old love is having trouble letting go of you, and you want them to be free, get some burnable string or twine, some sandalwood, and sage. Light a black candle and repeat the following aloud once:

I cut the tie from you and I
No longer are we bound
I remove myself from your life
I will not be found.
The ties that bind now are broken
As these words by me are spoken
The ties that bind now are broken
As these words by me are spoken
The ties that bind now are broken
As these words by me are spoken

Cut the length of twine or string in half and safely burn both halves with the sandalwood and sage. Dispose of the cold ashes in the wind.
