Wave a wand, cast a spell, or bewitch a lover with the most popular of all love elixirs - Love Potion #9. Our taste buds are directly linked to the pleasure center in our brains; the place where our sex drive, memory, and mood resides. This sweet and intoxicating love potion taps into the endorphins that make sensual and erotic feelings run wild.

Love potion #9 is said to have the power to cause whomever drinks it to fall in love with the person who gave it to them. This Valentine's Day, why not whip up a batch and serve it to your loved one with a candle lit dinner?

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 9 oz. sweet red wine
  • 9 apple seed
  • 9 basil leaves
  • p cloves
  • 9 drops of vanilla extract
  • 9 drops of strawberry juice
  • 9 drops of apple juice
  • 9 small pieces of ginseng root
  • 9 pink votive candles
  • cauldron or cast iron pot
  • wooden spoon
  1. Step 1

    By the light of 9 pink votive candles, put the nine ingredients into a cauldron or cast iron pot on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year. Note: The "ninth" hour of the day is considered to be 9:00 a.m.

  2. Step 2

    Stir the potion nine times with a wooden spoon, each time reciting the following magickal incantation:

    LET THE ONE WHO DRINKS THIS WINE
    SHOWER ME WITH LOVE DIVINE.
    SWEET LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE
    MAKE HIS/HER LOVE FOREVER MINE.

  3. Step 3

    Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes.

    Remove the cauldron from the heat and allow the potion to cool off. Blow nine times upon the potion, and bless it in the names of nine love-goddesses: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Hathor, Nephthys, Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Arianrhod.

  5. Step 5

    Strain the potion through cheesecloth into a clean container. Cover and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve it to the man or woman from whom you desire love and affection.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not allow anyone other than your beloved to look at, touch, or drink the love potion.
  • You may substitute cherry soda or Koolaid if you cannot drink alcohol.
  • Exercise extreme caution when using this potion as it is considered to be very potent. Be absolutely certain about the person you intend to bewitch because you will be stuck with your intended lover for a long time. The results have been reported to be very intense, often difficult to control, and difficult to reverse.

on 4/25/2008 That's the thing about potions and spells, most things needed (such as the ninth month at the ninth hour) can be substituted. Most things specified in spells are there for maximum potency. So if you could do it on the ninth day at the ninth hour, I'm sure it will be very strong, just not AS strong.
Also, make sure your cauldron is okay for cooking and the like. Some are only for non-food use only. Maybe if you can choose a special pot you will use only for spellwork, that would be best.
