Summer Knight
In Summer Knight, she gave Harry threads of unraveling in Summer Knight to undo Aurora's spell on Lily. It's a magical item that would 'undo' any placed enchantment.

Cold Days
In Cold Days, when Harry tried to summon Mother Winter he used the names Athropos (one of the three Fates, the one who cuts the thread), and Skuld (one of the Norns in Norse mythology).
