I posted about it here:
I don’t listen to Three Days Grace any more but a spot of mood music is still nice. These days I might go with “I Don’t Want You In Here” by Solar Fake.
Here’s a photo of one I did a few years ago. Love Lies Bleeding, then Lavender, Echinacea to heal it.
Note: There’s no spice or sour in this, no rusty nails, no dead bugs: I’m not looking for pain, but a dissolving back to equilibrium.
I just melt the lard in a small pan, mix in the herbs and spoon it into cookie molds sealed onto parchment paper with something like polymer clay or candle sealer putty. I melt just enough to half fill the mold and the other half is herbs, so maybe 4 tablespoons of fat.
So, on this one, you see there’s the symbology of two halves making a whole. This acknowledged that it did work on some level, there was a fit (I just didn’t want it but I wasn’t disrespecting it, I was undoing it).
You could use the same idea to heal the connection:
Maybe you make the poppet out of wax because you’re going to keep it and you want it to last, you get a jigsaw cookie cutter mold but you fit them together, and wrap them with red ribbon to bind them passionately to each other. You don’t use the amaranth, you keep the lavender and add rose petals and honey.
Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs is a good reference for picking herbs with the right magickal properties and it’s the one I used to pick the Amaranth variety Love Lies Bleeding in the first place. Play music that fits the intent with you fill the kitchen with magick.
Kitchen Witchery like this is also a lot of fun, and that helps, being relaxed and happy about it makes the energy flow really well.
