Breaking Chains of Spiritual Warfare: Love, Sovereignty & the Sword of Truth
A lone silhouette stands at the edge of a mountain peak as the first light of dawn breaks across the horizon. Their posture is steady, unshaken - a figure anchored in sovereignty, bathed in the glow of a new beginning. The rising sun illuminates the sky in gold and shadow, symbolizing the moment chains dissolve and truth clears the path forward.
Sovereign Path Series Epilogue
The Trap After Freedom
You cut the cords. You broke the tethers. For a moment you felt free. But then — the heaviness returned. You find yourself stuck, unable to move forward in the ways in which you desire, and unable to manifest the abundance and joy you know is meant for you. It is as if invisible chains still bind you, keeping your soul from stretching into its fullness. These are the anxious after effects once you leave - the desperate spells to keep you further tethered, to rob you of any light of hope and further growth, and to force you to return back to their facade of comfort.
This is the hidden snare after freedom. Not failure, but initiation. The deeper mirror has arrived. And, you are not meant to turn away.
The Three Currents of Liberation
1. Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is not soft or sentimental. It is a primordial current — the essence of Source, the spark from which you were created. It existed before fear, before heartbreak, before the walls you built to survive and protect yourself.
But it is not enough to know this love exists — you must let it fill you. To align with it means to open yourself to its flow and to embody it within, beginning first, with love for yourself. Not the fragile self-approval built on doing or pleasing, but the unshakable knowing: “I am worthy. I am whole. I am loved without condition.”
Because you are.
And, when you embody this love - when you align yourself with Source and you stand firmly in alignment with the unconditional love that is your birthright - distortion cannot anchor in you. Spells dissolve. Manipulations slide away. Attacks collapse. Because no shadow can take root in a vessel overflowing with unconditional love.
Practice: Place your hand on your heart. Whisper: “I remember. I return. I am love.” Sit in meditation and breath work, until this truth moves from thought to presence, until it begins to overflow within you.
2. Sovereignty
Sovereignty is not a crown. It is your anchor. The deep ground of your being that no one else can own. Not fear. Not manipulation. Not even the voices of your past.
It means no one else owns your will. Not a partner, not a group, not a psychic manipulator. True sovereignty isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake; is self-possession of your soul.
When you stand anchored in sovereignty, attempts to bend or bind your path collapse before they reach you. Their spells, their projectors, their manipulations shatter against the fortress of your will aligned in truth with Spirit. And sovereignty is contagious. Your freedom reminds others that they, too, can be free.
Practice: Stand barefoot on the earth. Speak your name back into your body: “I am sovereign. My will is my own. I do not consent to any presence, energy, or bind that is not aligned with my highest good. Not now, not ever.” Repeat until your voice steadies like fire. And cut cords as often as needed until this tether, and any new attempts at a tether, no longer return.
3. Divine Truth (The Sword of Light)
Divine Truth is not vague or soft. It is the cutting clarity that severs illusion at its root. It is the Sword of Light — and no shadow can withstand it. It slices through glamour, illusion, manipulation. But truth is also uncomfortable - it reveals where you colluded in your own bondage, where you gave your power away. And it asks you to witness this so that this lesson you are mastering will become embodied and you will never, ever again need to repeat it.
Aligning with truth also means you no longer stay silent in the face of distortion. You speak. You expose. You cut cleanly with clarity. Both for yourself, and for others. This is not cruelty or revenge — it is liberation. Because when the truth is spoken, illusions collapse, and those around you see the choice before them with unmistakable clarity. And you step further into your own alignment, sovereignty, and self love when you do so.
And here is the promise: when you stand in truth, divine protection rises with you. Every. Single. Time.
Practice:
1. Speak aloud once a day: “I align with Truth. I cut distortion at its root.”
2. Ask yourself what illusion you see around you is ready to dissolve today . Name it clearly. Burn or tear the page. Let the act remind you: truth dissolves distortion.
3. Journal the lies you’ve told yourself (“I’m unworthy"“, “I can’t ever seem to reach my financial goals”, “I am not ready for relationship”, “I can’t escape”, “They will reject me if I expose this” etc) and then burn this page and replace it instead with soul-truth (“I am unconditionally loved”, “I am the author of my own story”, “abundance flows freely to me when I am in alignment with my life”, “I am free”, “My worth does not in any way depend on the approval of others”, etc).
The Turning Point
After freedom comes the real test. The choice to hold steady when shadow circles again.
If you have broken free, this is the hour to rise higher, not retreat. Anchor deeper into love, sovereignty, and truth. That is the ground in which no attack can touch.
And for those still caught in distortion, those still enabling harm, still working in covert ways to actively spell cast and bind - know this: you are seen, your actions are witnessed and spiritual laws are in play. You are not beyond accountability if you choose to continue.
Unprovoked attacks against another may appear to slip through unnoticed. The validation that you feel by affirming someone else’s agenda may soothe your ego for a moment. But it will always prove hollow in the end.
The same threshold stands before you. You are not beyond reclamation. Turning back may not erase the past, but it restores your essence and spares you from the spiral that only grows harsher the longer you refuse the mirror.
Do not risk stagnating your own growth, dimming your gifts, and facing karmic lessons that need not come -unless you force them to.
The path is open. But the doorway narrows the longer you wait.
The Final Blessing & Call to Action
When you root into love — not as an idea, but as a living force that flows and fills you from within — you become unshakable. When you embody sovereignty as your anchor, no hand can bend your will. When you wield truth as a sword of light, distortion crumbles, clarity clears the way forward, and you will find protection that surpasses your imagination.
This is not just about breaking chains. It is about becoming untouchable to the forces that once bound you. It is about standing in your essence — whole, radiant, unbound, and fearless.
So breathe. Place your hand on your heart. Say it now as a vow:
• I anchor in unconditional love — for myself first, and through me for the world.
• I stand sovereign. My will is my own.
• I wield the Sword of Truth and I do not look away. I know that I am protected and safe, always.
And then — act. Write one truth. Speak one boundary. Release one chain.
Because every small act of love, sovereignty, and truth is not only your freedom — it is a signal fire. And it lights the way for the next soul to rise.
Your soul is ready. The path is open. And your rising is the blessing your ancestors have been waiting for. They are cheering you on. And once you pass this test, align yourself fully with Source, and master the lessons you are being offered, you will often find a latent gift becomes unlocked. It happened for me and I have seen it for my friends. Once you are free and you have embodied and integrated the lessons that your soul has been invited to learn you will find yourself transformed. Stronger than you were when you began, more aligned with your life path, and more empowered than you could have imagined for yourself.
The choice is yours and the finish line is within sight. You are almost there.
When Energy Becomes a Weapon: Seeing Through Subtle Attacks
An owl perched on a dark branch at night, symbolizing wisdom, discernment, and the ability to see through subtle energetic manipulation and hidden attacks.
My Experience Since Leaving. Epilogue to the Sovereign Path Series.
When I left the group, I thought distance and clear separation would mean freedom. I left quietly, I did not retaliate, I have not used names or lashed out. I have cleared the karmic and akashic energy. I have simply spoken the truth with the intention of helping others and shining a light on a subject that, quite frankly, is not talked enough about. But I will be honest, about a heavier side effect of leaving that I did not expect - I have been attacked regularly since I left. These attacks have ranged from obvious and overt to very subtle and nuanced. They have ranged in seriousness and amplified reach. And, I want to share about my experience so that you too can recognize these patterns. Naming what is happening isn’t about fear - it’s about discernment and empowerment. When we see clearly, we reclaim our power to choose differently, to protect our energy, and to walk forward in a future aligned with truth. These attack patterns don’t always show up like you think they will. In fact, some of the things that I’ve experienced may surprise you - manipulations in how others read your energy, divination tool interference, energetic mimicry within connection to others, physical changes such as changes to my moon cycle, seeding of doubt, confusion and amplification of emotion with others - both in discord and elation, etc. The bottom line is that, at least in my experience, this is often a different kind of interference than you might anticipate—its much more quiet, deliberate, and nuanced - aimed not always at my body but at my energy and mind. And it is often built around a small speck or thread of truth making it very easy to second guess, dismiss entirely, or become confused about. And while I have shielded most of these, there have been a few stark lessons along the way.
Over the past several months I’ve experienced many forms:
• Spellwork and hexes (group or singular) designed to disrupt flow, steal or confuse gifts, futures, and bonds, and physically harm.
• Psychic attacks that strike at night or in moments of vulnerability.
• Glamour tactics that cloud perception, making the false appear true.
• Subtle energetic manipulation, woven into the edges of my (or other’s) awareness.
Here are a few examples:
I had an argument with someone I rarely argue with, that was amplified and intense. The argument ignited over a seed of truth but the energetic interplay was much more dynamic and intense than it would have been without outside influence.
I had a past life reading where the storyline was altered and the manipulator (who has been my sister in multiple past lives) re-authored the events to suit the outcome and narrative that they desired. It included just enough truth that it was very plausible. But, when I sat with it later and reflected, the energetic imprint and distortion was visible and undeniable.
Divinatory tool readings have been manipulated on a few isolated occasions where the outcome was glamoured - both in a negative way on one occasion and an overly optimistic on another. Both again, to suit a desired outcome.
Strong seeds of doubt have been implanted on multiple occasions - these I usually detect quickly but on a particularly chaotic day that was already high with emotional energy - I fell susceptible. And, it took me a day to recognize. Again, doubt and negativity seeded to suit desired outcomes.
Most recently, I experienced a spell crafted with one purpose: to distort and hide the truth itself. It didn’t try to silence me outright—it tried to confuse me, to make me doubt what I knew and second-guess what was clear in my bones.
How It Works
The tactics are rarely direct. They operate like smoke, slipping in through openings and hiding in the corners:
• Backdoor Access: They find ways to keep energetic access points open, often through old connections or cords left uncut.
• Watchers: Energy has been placed at the edges of my field, monitoring, waiting, reporting back.
• Peripheral Sitting: They don’t always strike—sometimes they hover at the edges, waiting for moments of distraction, emotional charge, or energetic lows or illness, because they know you are more vulnerable then.
• Through Others: If they can’t reach you directly, they often spy through connections—friends, shared spaces or tethers that they hold with someone you may still be in contact with - energetically or otherwise, or anyone who might unknowingly carry a line back to you.
• Timing: Any that were successful, were always when I was emotionally engaged, distracted, or processing something big. Always when my guard might have been lowered.
The goal is simple: to seed chaos, fear, or discontent. To silence or intimidate truth. To fracture clarity, stir confusion, and pull me off-center. Though the experiences can feel devastating in the moment, they often clear space for renewal. Each attack has the potential to catalyze deep healing and a new sense of spiritual alignment.
I Am Not Alone
This isn’t just about me. This is not a private, past life, or interpersonal conflict. This particular individual casts these spells and energetic workings routinely - almost like clockwork, in ritual, to an entire list of individuals. Anyone who there is any seed of discord, threat, or they sense resistance with. Often including those who have chosen to leave. And, they don’t just end with the individual themselves. In some cases, particularly those who are still actively tethered - they also include friends, acquaintances, and even persons that are only loosely connected in their lives. Anyone who might pose a threat, help expose, explore the truth, or empower them, or help them break free; anyone who refuses to feed the manipulator’s illusion. If you are involved in a dynamic like this and seeking help, clarity, or advice from someone else - even a non-professional like family or friends; be aware these people are often being attacked energetically also. Ask them. Have you felt anything “off” or different recently? Any unusual dreams, disruption in your temperament, mood, or how you feel in general after we talk or get together? The goal is to isolate you. To keep you confused, feeding into their negative loops (which strengthens their connection), and keep you dependent upon them. They love to see a backslide.
For some, the attacks show up as sudden doubts, strange mood swings, physical upset (something as simple as indigestion, random sexual feelings, disorientation or ungroundedness, headaches, throat ache, etc) or out-of-character conflict. For others, it’s physical exhaustion, depression, helplessness or anxiety, sleepless nights, indecision, or repeating patterns of miscommunication, mental fog, and disorientation.
The common thread is often some form of disruption. If you feel targeted, destabilized, ruminating, “off your game”, or constantly second-guessing yourself—know that you’re likely not imagining it, and you’re not alone.
Protecting Yourself
Awareness is the first shield. But there are other practical, energetic steps you can take. Here are a few simple ones:
1. Close the Backdoors
• Identify lingering energetic ties (ex-partners, friends, energetic connections, past groups, old mentors, etc). Cut or cleanse those cords with ritual. Understand that if you continue engagement, you need to keep interaction short, maintain strong energetic boundaries, limit emotional entanglement, and use strong discernment. And always, cleanse your field afterwards.
• Audit your digital and energetic spaces—who has access, and why? Use strong discernment and rely upon your intuition to guide you.
2. Clear the Watchers
• Visualize a sweep of bright light moving through your field, dissolving anything that lingers without your consent.
• State clearly: “Only energies aligned with my highest good may remain.”
Watch for signs (flickering candle wicks without a breeze, shadow movement, auric or subtle energetic changes, etc).
3. Anchor in Truth
• Journaling: Write what you know to be true before confusion sets in. Return to these pages when distortion tries to take hold.
• Body check: Truth feels grounding. Lies feel slippery. Let your nervous system, your intuition—not your mind—be your compass.
4. Shield Daily
• Mirror shields: Surround yourself with reflective light, returning all distortion to Source.
• Salt + water: Baths, foot soaks, or even rinsing hands in salt water clears residue.
• Prayer or intention: Call on guides, ancestors, or deities aligned with truth to stand guard and help protect you.
Energy Work: Regularly engage in energetic clearing, maintenance, and fortification
Grounding: If you’re experiencing energy drains, try a simple grounding ritual: place both feet on the earth, visualize roots anchoring you deep into the soil, and affirm, “My energy is sovereign, my body is a temple, and I am protected”. This small daily act plants the seed of energetic sovereignty.
5. Community Vigilance
• Talk about what you notice. Share patterns. Manipulation thrives in secrecy and isolation—naming it breaks its spell. Make no mistake - if you are under energetic attack like this, it IS spiritual warfare. It is not about choosing sides - it is about choosing your own sovereignty, truth, and freedom. And it needs to be spoken for what it is - and with much more openness so we can learn from, and help, each other.
Turning the Tactic on Its Head
The irony of these attacks is that they strengthen what they seek to destroy. Each attempt to confuse me only sharpens my own clarity and grows my gifts. Each recognition strengthens my own intuition and teaches me. Each tether cut, frees me more. Each interference pushes me deeper into sovereignty.
And, it will do the same for you.
Because while chaos may be seeded, truth roots deeper. And once you’ve seen through the fog, you can never unsee the truth.
Closing Thoughts
Remember who you are. Lean into your own intuition. Trust yourself first - always. If you feel yourself under attack, spend time sitting with yourself and how you feel about something before you take action. Your intuition and your connection to Source cannot be taken from you and they cannot be manipulated. Your sovereignty, intuition, and spiritual protection are your strongest shields.
If you’ve felt the sting of unseen hands pulling at your energy, know this: it is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of your own power. They would not target you if you were not standing on something true, something somehow threatening to their illusion. Do not give in to fear. Stand in your own sovereignty and truth. Because without your consent, they are limited in their reach.
The sad reality of this is that this is often orchestrated by someone who has not done their own healing. Instead of getting to the root of their own trauma and wounding, they are spiritually bypassing and attempting to bend and control their own - and other’s (aka your!)- reality so that they don’t have to sit with the truth. And while I am deeply compassionate on this point, not confronting this in truth - both for yourself, your loved ones - and this manipulator - allows them to continue to bypass. We all have dark nights of the soul. We all have lessons that we are fated to confront and learn from as part of our soul’s evolution. And we are all given opportunities to heal and live our lives abundantly and from a place of true joy, peace, and wholeness. Manipulation may putt the ball. It may delay some of these truths from surfacing. But it will never bring the long-lasting wholeness and healing that each of us deserves and desires. The hard truth is that indecision will make separating and taking the leap from this, all the harder. Every hook that has been used, or has ever been successful, has been tethered to an area of weakness or wounding. Breaking free will never be easy. But the sooner you choose to make that cut, the easier it will be.
This is a heavy post. Many of the posts in this series are heavy. And they deal with dark, uncomfortable topics. Spiritual warfare isn’t pleasant, pretty, and certainly not fun. But, if it’s a path you’ve encountered in your life journey, trust that it is here for a reason and offers a valuable lesson. And how you choose to respond to that lesson will largely determine how it unfolds in your future - as a gift, a shameful moment or experience you regret, or a trauma that you may be tempted to suppress and bury. There is nothing to be ashamed from if you have been entangled in manipulative entrapment. The danger is in letting the wound define us. These attacks are not the whole story - they are simply a chapter. The real story is in how we rise, heal, and embody more light and sovereignty than ever before afterwards. The beauty in every lesson we are offered is that when you sit with the work of untangling and healing you take away the power that has been held over you. Every ounce of shame, guilt, and vulnerability becomes alchemized into a strength, and ultimately, a gift. You learn to heal - not just bandaid and bypass - but truly heal - the areas that they exploited. You become stronger, more resilient, and if desired, you can become a guide for others to help them heal in their own journey. And for those of you who have leadership in your future? Well you will undoubtedly become all the more prepared as a result of this trial. When you do the work, you truly do become all the better for it.
When we recognize what is happening and choose not to fear or resist it, to set aside our own ego and meet it with clarity, discernment, and protection, we begin to embody a deeper freedom. We move from being pulled into other’s shadows to anchoring in our own light. If you take anything from my story, let it be this: your energy is sovereign, your body is sacred, and your spirit cannot be stolen. With each act of discernment, with each ritual of grounding, and with each moment of finally choosing yourself - you plant the seed of liberation. And those seeds ripple outward, empowering not just you, but the collective as well. So let the heaviness fall away. Step forward lighter, clearer, freer, and more empowered with awareness, clarity, and hope. This is not about fear, it is about freedom. This is not about being attacked, but about remembering and standing in who you truly are. Because when you stand in your own truth, when you stand in your own sovereignty, and when you stand aligned in your life path with your ancestors, guides, and spirit team surrounding you, you will find that you have far more power than you ever thought possible and this little test? You will pass it, grow from it, and bloom wildly more brighter as a result.
Leaving an unhealthy group dynamic is never just about the hardships of doing so and breaking away from attacks - it’s about what comes after. The relief that follows, the weight that lifts, the freedom to breathe in your own energy again - this is where empowerment begins. And while there will always be shadows to name, there is also joy, clarity, and abundance waiting on the other side. In a future installment on this series, I’ll share what it feels like to step beyond the attacks: the tremendous release, the lessons carried forward, and the spiritual strength that rises when your sovereignty is reclaimed.
Until then, much love always,

The Sovereign Path Epilogue III: False Loyalty & The Breaking of Psychic & Psychosexual Tethers
Tethers only hold as long as you call them love.
Some bonds are not love at all, but entrapment disguised as loyalty. Naming the tether is the first act of freedom. This post explores how tethers trap us in waking life and in the dreamscape.
Some bonds nourish. Others drain. Not all chains are visible. And some are not bonds at all, but energetic traps crafted to disguise as intimacy, loyalty, and even “love”. These traps are tethers - psychic cords designed to bind your will. Some are woven in silence, through attention, secrecy, or desire. These cords, once hooked, can leave us bound in ways we don’t understand. We may even wake up wondering why we feel pulled towards someone we don’t consciously choose, or why our own clarity keeps collapsing into confusion.
But, once they are seen for what they truly are, they can be broken.
Once broken, your sovereignty returns.
And if this has been you, hear this: It does not mean you are weak. It means your soul is learning to reclaim its freedom. Once these patterns are seen for what they are, and named, their hidden power over you dissolves.
What They Are, In Plain Terms:
A psychosexual tether is an energetic + psychological binding created through intimacy, attention, and manipulation.
It hijacks the body’s bonding chemistry (dopamine/oxytocin), overlays it with glamour (image, mystique, spiritual authority), and locks it in with control patterns (guilt, secrecy, intermittent reward, etc.).
The result: you feel compelled to stay connected even when your soul knows you should walk away.
How They Begin:
Psychosexual tethers rarely start with something obvious. They are seeded in small moments - an unspoken agreement, an unresolved attraction, a dynamic where secret itself fuels the charge. Over time, this exchange of energy becomes a loop: longing, guilt, release, repeat.
The tether works because it bypasses conscious choice. Your energy is engaged whether you want it to be or not. And the stronger it stays hidden, fed, and unacknowledged, the stronger it grows.
The Astral Realm: Where Hidden Tethers Are Often Forged
But what happens when the cords aren’t formed in daylight? What if the entanglement begins in places we barely remember - the dreamscape?
The astral and dream realms are fertile ground for manipulation. Here, our guard is lowered, our subconscious is wide open, and our most primal energies - desire, fear, longing - rise to the surface. For those who seek control, this becomes the perfect entry point.
Why? Because the dream body doesn’t distinguish between “just a dream” and a lived experience. When someone plants a sexual or emotional tether in the astral plane, the body and psyche register it as real. Over time, the victim may awake with cravings, confusion, or an unexplainable sense of attachment that feels “fated” - but is in truth manufactured.
These tethers are especially potent in relationships that are not overtly romantic. When overt intimacy is absent, the manipulator uses astral encounters to “fill in the gap”, weaving cords of sexual charge and psychic energy that create an addictive pull. What should have remained platonic or sacred is quietly rewired into obsession, dependence, a false sense of loyalty, or longing.
Step by Step for How These Tethers Form:
1. Hook: Love-bombing, sexual charge, soulmate mirroring - sometimes energetically mimicking a real connection, other times fabricating a false karmic or soul bond.
*This was perhaps one of the most disturbing things I saw in my experience, as it is highly convincing and truly cruel to do to someone. See previous posts for in-depth discussion regarding how this works.
2. Glamour: A crafted mystique - spiritual leader, chosen partner, or some sort of “special role” is crafted around them.
3. Bonding event: Intense intimacy or some sort of “secret sharing” that seals the tie. This can feel very real, even if there is no romance involved.
4. Intermittent reinforcement: Unpredictable warmth/cold patterns keep you addicted.
*See previous posts for in-depth discussion on how this works energetically and on your Nervous System.
5. Debt + Obligation: They make you feel like subconsciously you “owe” them — your silence, your loyalty, your energy, etc. Loyalty born from debt is not devotion - it is a tether that drains the very strength it pretends to honor.
6. Isolation: They pit people against each other (aka use triangulation techniques); you become elevated as the “chosen one” until you’re discarded and replaced.
7. Fear: Some sort of true fear pattern is created and reinforced typically involving the group, your identity, or destiny to keep you trapped, such as “If you leave, you lose everything — me, the group, your path.” Depending on how long you have been under this influence, how strong the tether is, and how long this loop has been reinforced and embedded, this can seem very real and threatening.
How It Works:
• Chemical Loop: Dopamine anticipation + oxytocin bonding + cortisol stress = an addictive push-pull dynamic is intentionally created.
• Meaning Loop: Ordinary control dressed up as “destiny, karma, or a shared mission.” With a truly gifted energetic practitioner these loops are individually crafted and created for the unique wounds and desires of the person, their energetic make-up, and the intentional purpose the creator wishes for them to serve.
• Energetic Loop: Your focus, fear, and even sexual energy feed the cord.
• Context Loop: Group dynamics normalize it so you doubt your instincts. And remember, glamour works by dulling your instincts, your agency, and your gifts. You are seeing all of this through a fogged lens and not true clarity.
How to Know If You’ve Been Bound Through Astral or Dreamscape:
You’ve had recurring dreams of intimacy with someone you would never consciously choose in waking life. The dream feels strangely real and leaves a residue.
You wake up with unexplained arousal, longing or guilt, as if something happened that you can’t fully place.
You often feel drained, foggy, or heavy after sleep, as though your energy has been siphoned overnight.
There’s a nagging pull toward a person that doesn’t match your real-life discernment. You know in your bones it’s not right, but something unseen keeps tugging you back.
You may notice loops and cycles - moments of clarity where you want freedom, followed by sudden confusion, longing, or return.
Other Ways These Tethers May Feel:
• Compulsion stronger than free choice: you “decide” but feel dragged. You are being energetically coerced as the tether and loops in place keep you under their control.
• Brief highs, long lows.
• Guilt or debt replaces your joy.
• Shrinking life: fewer friends, family connection, hobbies - ultimately, less freedom, vitality, and less self.
• Constant tension: keeping them happy means betraying your own peace. As you awaken to this you will start to notice this dissonance more clearly but may still feel “bound’ in a sense. For example, even if you decide to walk away, you may feel like you can’t yet - you will not find clarity and decisive energy until you break the tethers.
Seeing is Believing (Self-Test):
Ask yourself:
1. Freedom Test: Could I walk away tomorrow without fear of collapse?
2. Debt Test: Am I staying because I want to, out of true love or community, or because I feel a sense of obligation, as if I somehow “owe” them?
3. Expansion Test: Do I feel larger, freer, more myself in this bond — or smaller and trapped? Is this bringing out the best in me?
4. Sunlight Test: If someone I trusted read our last 10 messages, would they call it love or control? Have any of the above shared feelings or experiences landed as true?
5. Future Test: If they vanished for 30 days, would my life expand or collapse?
If your answers lean toward fear, debt, collapse, or shame → it’s not love, it’s a tether.
The Wider Web: Other Tethers That Bind:
Psychosexual tethers are only one thread in the web.
Here are the others:
Psychic Tether: Obsessive thought and focus, constant pull
Emotional Debt Cord: Guilt and obligation used as currency.
Trauma-Bond Cord: Abuse—>reward—>abuse, cycling until you can’t leave
Group/Collective Cord: Belonging tied to hierarchy, exile used as threat.
Magickal/Ritual Cord: Intentional energetic bindings, often with objects. Can often times be used to ensure you don’t physically leave a group.
Ancestral/Karmic Cord: Past-life or family entanglements exploited by manipulators.
A skilled black magick practitioner rarely uses just one. They weave layers - a net that feels impossible to escape until you see each thread and break them.
Breaking the Tether:
Here is the uncomfortable truth - you are never powerless against these tactics. The cords may feel real to you and binding - but they are truly smoke and mirrors once you see them for what they really are.
To break them:
• Name it aloud: Truth itself is a sword. What was hidden cannot stay hooked once spoken. Speaking the truth weakens and dissolves the glamour.
• Reclaim your dreamscape & Revoke Any Debt: Before sleep affirm: Only what is of Spirit may enter here. My soul belongs to no one but the Divine.
Practice Daily Sovereignty: Breathwork, prayer, or shielding rituals remind your system where your authority lies.
• Walk away: Even small steps reclaim freedom; one step alone helps to weaken the net.
• Call back your fragments: Imagine drawing your energy out of every dream, fantasy, memory, or feeling where it does not belong or where you do not consent for it to be. See it return to your body, your heart, your Spirit.
Reset the body: Movement, breath, rest, salt, grounding — heal your nervous system.
• Repattern bonds: Surround yourself with people who make you feel bigger, freer, clearer. Reconnect with friends, family, and hobbies - anything that allows you to start seeing the contrast, feel again, and reconnect consciously to your body, your innate desires and will, and true, healthy connection and relationship.
• Shield: Protect your field with intention (Prayer, Mediation & Visualization, Ritual, Salt Baths, LBRP/Middle Pillar/Rite of the Headless One; whatever aligns with your spiritual path - but do energetic protections and field maintenance regularly - especially before sleep, group activity, or any astral travel). Set the daily intention for your field: Only love and truth may enter. All else returns to Source.
Here’s the truth: even in dreams your soul is sovereign. No glamour, no hidden contract, no erotic entanglement has the right to bind you without your consent. Naming these tactics with clarity is the first cut of the sword. Recognizing them dissolves their hidden power. And, once seen, they can no longer weave themselves silently around your spirit. Each act of reclamation loosens the cords until they dissolve entirely.
When you begin to see even your dreamscape and astral plane as holy ground - sacred, sovereign, untouchable - you reclaim the parts of yourself that were once hijacked in the shadows. This is where true freedom begins.
Why This Is Done:
At its root, tethering (and really any form of black magick) is about power, control, and self benefit. The manipulator feeds off sexual and psychic energy like a battery, especially when they can attach it to secrecy or shame. It makes them more powerful, youthful, magnetic. It feeds their ego and allows them greater power to achieve their goals.
Non-romantic dynamics are often targeted precisely because they bypass defenses. If the waking relationship doesn’t “make sense” as intimate, the dreamscape tethering fills the gap, making the pull feel destined. And rarely does the trusting or non-suspecting person confront a teacher, mentor, or otherwise platonic figure in their life about crossing sexual lines in a way they’ve never seen in the physical plane or have any “proof” they can use to justify such an accusation. So, its usually dismissed as “in their head” or unrelated - especially if they are already under glamours (which nearly always goes hand in hand) and is already dulling their intuition, and fogging their sense of clarity and discernment.
The Truth About Love & Loyalty
Real loyalty is chosen freely.
Real love never imprisons, it frees.
Real bonds expand your soul.
Anything else is glamour, imbalance, and energetic theft and coercion. And when you name it — it begins to die.
Entrapment and false loyalty are not love - they are illusions that borrow your strength until you name them.
If you find yourself bound, it does not mean you are weak - it means your soul is being trained in the art of reclaiming its freedom.
Tethers only hold as long as you call them love or loyalty. The moment you name them for what they truly are, their hold over you begins to break. Real love expands your world - false loyalty shrinks it. The Sovereign Path is simple: consciously choose expansion, every time.
Freedom Is Your Birthright
Psychosexual cords, whether formed in waking life or woven in dreamscape, are never stronger than your Sovereign will aligned with Spirit. Once named, they dissolve. Once claimed, your freedom can no longer be taken.
You are not bound. You are sovereign. And in remembering that truth, you are already free.
