How to Cast a Love Spell

For some of us, lasting love seems elusive. Be that as it may, wise women and fair maidens have taken matters of love into their own hands for centuries by learning how to cast a love spell from their elders. Modern witches and Wiccans may also feel a need to cast a love spell from time to time. However, since it goes against the creed of "harming none" to manipulate another's free will, there are limitations on this kind of spell that need to be observed. If finding true love is your quest, then learn how to properly cast a love spell.

Instructions

1. Make every effort to properly cast a love spell. Focus on a feeling of well being and the warmth that comes from having a special bond with another. Your goal and intent is to attract the right type of person to yourself, not to capture or snare a particular individual.

2. Enlist the aid of herbs for your love spell. Many herbs stimulate the brain through their olfactory properties. For instance, pheromones are chemical messengers that communicate with the brain to increase hormone production. In short, this is what is known as a chemical attraction between two people. Herbs that may induce this phenomenon include ginger, damiana, ylang-ylang, patchouli, sandalwood, rose, violets and many others.

3. Make a love perfume. Anoint yourself with a blend of botanical essential oils, such as bergamot, cinnamon, clove, lavender, yarrow, chamomile and white pepper.

4. Concoct a love potion. In a kettle or saucepan of 2 cups pure spring water, add a pinch of the following: vervain, lavender, vanilla bean and sea salt. Recite a love spell chant of your choosing while stirring the ingredients. After 30 minutes, strain the infusion into a clean jar and wear a few dabs on your body for the next 7 days.

5. Practice candle magick to bring love into your life. Anoint a pink candle with a love-promoting essential oil, such as bergamot or lavender. Then light the candle and visualize the kind of person you would like to become your life partner (remember, no one specific). When the candle has burned completely, bury its remains outside in the earth.

Tips & Warnings

• Never cast a love spell to attain the affections of a specific person. Doing so violates the "harm none" ethics of the Witch's Rede and may have negative consequences for both parties. Certainly, the love spell is doomed to fail in the end.
