In the old stories, spells begin with a bargain — or a curse.
A bargain tempts with hidden cost: a mermaid trades her voice for legs, only to find she cannot speak her truth. A curse descends without consent: a princess is bound to swan’s wings, another pricked into a century of sleep.
What is gained is never what was truly longed for.
What is lost is always the very essence of freedom, voice, or vitality.

And always, the tale bends toward the same turning: the breaking of the spell. Not through dominance. Not through surrender. But through love — the vow strong enough to unravel illusion. Sometimes this vow comes from another, but the deepest spellbreaking is when you turn inward and speak it to yourself: I will not abandon you.

To break a spell is to step out of victimhood and into sovereign power — not power over, not power under, but power with your own pain, history, and future.

This reading guides you to the places where your spirit may still be bound by old bargains or curses — silences, sacrifices, or survival vows — and helps you remember that you already carry the vow of release within you.

• You’ve felt parts of yourself bound by sacrifice, silence, or self-abandonment.

• You sense a soul-gift in you has been hidden, traded, or forgotten.

• You want to step out of self-sacrifice and into self-sovereignty.

• You’re ready to give yourself the vow of love and devotion that breaks the spell.
