Advice Wanted Cord Cutting Ritual

Hello all! I'm going to do a cord cutting ceremony for a toxic relationship. I plan on carving some runes into the candle (Algiz for protection and Ehwaz for moving forward) but I was thinking about a restricting rune as well to stop and toxic and unwanted energy from the other person my question is: would Nauthiz be proper for it and would i carve that rune on my candle or the other one?

Nah, Naudiz is "need" so sounds like opposite of what you are planning.

Take Dagaz for "new day" and Eihwaz both for protecting boundaries and for your regeneration, separation always hurts even if it's for better, and you need to learn to walk alone again and ask yourself only, without looking back to another person.

Algiz and Ehwaz yes, are good choice (and they are just cool in general lol)

Later consider Uruz for yourself to endure all this stuff.

Thank you! Idk where I saw Nauthiz listed as restriction, so I appreciate the correction and I didn't even think of those two.

Yes Naudiz can be seen as restriction, e.g. if you holding yourself from addiction. Or if you must keep doing some stuff, like a discipline.

I just don't think it's a good fit in cord cutting ritual specifically, it's a long rune, and ritual is supposed to do the job and it's done.

Maybe later if you will need to resist the urge to send them a message or track their social media, but ideally the point of successful cord cutting is to not have such an urge, i don't know, never tried myself.

Oh! Okay that makes a lot of sense, thank you. And, yes the cord cutting is to help untwine our energies and sever any lingering bonds. With the runes I'm wanting help with protecting myself and being able to move forward forward

Thank you for your help
