When cutting the cords, be careful
Today I was talking to a fellow magical acquaintance (who is new to the path) and I explained to him the process of getting rid of a person you no longer want in your life. I told him that all you need to do is imagine the silvery-blue cord that connects all human beings, at the belly button, like an umbilical cord, and imagine a large pair of cosmic scissors (or, if you like, you may use your magical weapon, such as an athame or a dagger) cutting the cord between you and that person. The longer and more deeply you've known the person, the more you'll have to hack away at that cord. I admonished him though to think very, very, very careful before cutting that cord, because chance are you'll never see that person again, at least not in any meaningful way. Any kind of contact you do have will be very superficial. In moments of hurt and anger I have cut the cords with certain people, later realizing that perhaps reconciliation could have been possible. So perhaps this is advice I should take to heart as well. I guess this is why "blinds" have been put into books on magick, so that you're not handing matches to a baby. If you don't know yourself or can't control yourself very well, you can get hurt. However, perhaps it's time to let the baby out of crib, so he can explore, for if the fool never jumps off that cliff, he learns nothing (though he does stay alive!).
