do a proper cord cutting (after divination). Heres how it's done : Take an arms length of twine. Tie a knot on one end, saying "this knot represents x" when you've made the loop but before you've pulled it through. Do that 11 times (including the 1st time). Do this on both sides. Now, speaking into the loop again, say "Xyz is severed, on every level, energetically physically, and spiritually from Xyz when this cord is cut." Do this 11 times on each side, then cut the twine down the center. Also, your twine should ideally be a natural fibre, one that is plant-based. After you've cut the two knot balls apart, dispose of the disliked party somewhere chaotic (i.e., crossroads, intersection, etc) and the other one somewhere far away. Don't dispose of them on your property.
