Charm for Empowering or Blessing a Handfasting Cord

"This cord shall join, this cord shall bless, Until Átropos cuts, no less. 
 Two lives are woven in the strands, their love shall last through all time's sands."
It works best when you memorize it and repeat it over the cord until you feel power build.
  

At the height of power, or when you are finished making it, kiss the ends and center of the cord and say with each kiss 
"In nomine ____ et ____ funiculus beo" (or "I bless this cord in the name of ____ and _____".) By the way, Matris et Patris means Mother and Father.
