A True Love Spell

Here is my suggested true Love spell

This spell cannot be cast for a specific person. If this person is already in your life, then the spell will just cause them to come forward. I will also say, that this spell can take a year or more to produce results.

This is the spell I did that after a year, I met my now husband of 7 years.

What you will need is
A pink candle ( I recommend a large one that will burn for several days)
True Love oil
True Love herb bath
True Love Powder
A set of paired lodestones
Magnetic Sand
Florida Water
two glass jars
honey or sugar
a slip of paper.
a pen or pencil
A piece of red string

Step 1) Take a glass jar and empty the contents of the True Love herb bath into the jar. Cover that with the contents of the bottle of Florida Water. For seven days, shake it once a day. then strain out the herbs thoroughly.

Step 2) Take the slip of paper and fold it in half, and then open it again.. On one side write your name. On the other side write “My true Love”. Fold it back so the words come together like two lovers kissing, then fold it two more times. Take the red string and wrap it around the paper to hold it closed. Put that into the jar, and then cover it in your chosen sweetener. Taste it, and recognize the sweetness of love. Put the lid on the jar and secure it with your hand tightly.

You are going to repeat the following once a day for 7 days. You should start on a Friday morning, preferably before dawn. If you can time this to be during the waxing moon, and even better to start with the return of the moon (the first day the new crescent moon that can be seen) is even better.

Step 3) Prepare a bath tub with comfortable temperature water. Add a few drops of the True Love Florida Water to the bath. Immerse yourself in the water for no less than 5 minutes. Get out, and take a cup and set aside some of the bath water and let the rest drain off. Air dry and anoint your body with the True Love oil, and then put on clean fresh clothing. Take the cup of bath water and go outside. Pour out the contents into a crossroads while face east.

Step 4) Take the candle and anoint it with True Love oil. Put that into a candle holder securely. Set that on top of the jar filled with sweetener.

Step 5) Take the paired lodestones and set them about a foot away from each other. Anoint them with True Love oil. As you anoint them, name one of them for you, and the other one “My True Love”. Take a pinch of magnetic sand, and put it onto each lodestone. For the next 7 days, each day, you will move the lodestones closer to each other. If you have them a foot apart, about an inch a day for each stone is sufficient. They should be touching by the 6-7th day.

Step 6) take the true love powder, and form a heart around the candle on the honey jar, and the lodestones. Just use a pinch, and add another pinch each day for 7 days. By the 7th day, the heart should be clearly defined.

Step 7) Light the candle. A big candle can and should burn easily for an hour or two each day. On the seventh day, let it burn until it goes out. While it burns on each day, focus your mind on coming together with your true love. By true love, I mean a love that is aligned with you, as much as you are aligned with them. Values, goals, shared interests, Being able to empathize, understand, accept, forgive, support and work together aka for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish.. You don’t have to do this the entire time the candle is burning, but 15-20 minutes should be enough. While you are focusing, open yourself to receiving or putting out the sign that you met this person. It can be anything that you wish, or you feel led to. One recommendation is that they give you a specific color of rose on the first date, or that start to talk bout an interest, and it happens to be the exact same interest that you have, or that they are wearing a specific item with a specific symbol, like the jersey of your favorite team sport which has been signed by your favorite player.

Step 8) On the final day, collect all the True Love Powder and any other remnants, like wax, from the spell. Go back to the crossroads and while facing East, ask for (or one might say pray) to be guided to your true love, as much as your true love is guided to you, that you come together mutually in love, desire, affection and friendship, and then blow all the True Love Powder away to the east. If you have a lot of wax remnants, you can wrap them up in a brown paper bag, and leave it in the eastern section of the crossroads. Then go back home without looking back.
You can continue to anoint your body with the True Love oil as often as you want, and splash some of the True Love Florida water on you.

Keep the jar in a clean place off the floor. Keep the paired lodestones in a box, and continue to give them pinches of magnetic sand periodically (once a week, once a month, etc) If there is too much magnetic sand, you can clean it off, put it back into the container, and then keep “Feeding” the lodestones with magnetic sand.
Once you a year, take the lodestones, clean off the magnetic sand and bathe them in True Love Florida Water. Dry them off, anoint them in the true love oil, and continue to give pinches of magnetic sand. You can keep the lodestones with the honey jar together. I recommend putting the lodestones in a bowl on top of the honey jar, and putting them into a large enough box, to hold both and keep them free of dust.

H is for Herbs and spices

Spices_22078028

I love herbs. My mom is a gardener and growing up with a garden with plants growing and herbs all around has always been interesting to me, although spading and working the soil was not my favorite thing as a kid. When I discovered the magic of herbs, I jumped at it, and one of my first entries in my magical workbook was several pages about herb lore. Although it would be a while before I really started doing a lot with herbs, when I started cooking regularly, they also become a favorite way to give flavor, depth and interest to dishes.

Herbs (which for me cover everything like seeds, barks, roots, petals, flowers, stamens and leaves) have a multitude of means of putting them to work in practical sorcery While I don’t always think about magical relationships with herbs while cooking, sometimes the symbolism I find can be quite potent. An apple pie with cinnamon or clove can be clever and tasty way to deliver a love spell. A good marinara sauce seasoned with basil, rosemary and sage can help to promote peace and blessings among the inhabitants of a home. Make a protection soup with white mustard, black pepper and that ubiquitous pinch of salt, which can both be magical and flavorful. A cup of chamomile tea can be soothing and relaxing, but also help bring luck, especially with money.

Of course, there are more ritualized methods of working with herbs as well, that are not so subtle. Making a herbal blend which you then boil or steep in hot water to make a magical bath. For cleansing I have a preference for sage (the garden variety) hyssop and eucalyptus leaves. For love, Rose petals, lavender buds, and some rosemary make for a gentle love drawing bath that smells quite green and floral. For something a bit more spicy, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom made into a strong tea and then bathed in can also bring a bit for physical enjoyment. You can also just simmer the above spices, or a pumpkin spice blend in a pot of water to get the scent to fill the home before an amour comes over to visit. Similarly a bath in cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice can help to draw wealth and good fortune. You can also bath in chamomile tea, which creates a bath of golden water, a very striking image of as you are bathing in gold.

While not as commonly used by many people, powders are a good way to apply magic. A practice that comes mainly from African American folk traditions, it is often overlooked by people outside of tha tradition, except for well known powders like Hotfoot Powder or Goofer Dust, two powders used to curse people, either to drive them away, or to potentially kill them. You can also use simple powdered herbs for their effects. Putting a pinch of ground black pepper and then a pinch of salt in your shoes can help to protect you from harm, shielding you from curses that have been laid down where you walk. The first time I did this, I almost jumped when I put my shoes on, because I immediately felt this surge of power go through, as though some residual negative energy have been cast out from me. Of course, there are other powdered herbs. You should take a pink of powdered cinnamon and lay it down underneath your door mat, to bring wealth to your home, a good practice if you also have a home business. Laying powdered herbs down that relate to your intention in the 4 corners of your home or property is a good way to reinforce magic performed on that area to help establish protection, blessings, or good fortune in the home or property. You can also use powdered herbs in rituals, using them to lay down symbols that connect to the herbs powers, which are serve to further reinforce your intention and focus. The most recognized one would be a circle of protective herbs, perhaps mixed together, which then marks a boundary for a ring of candles that surround a single candle, used in a spell for protection. When the candles have all burned out, collect the powder again, and carry it with you for protection, or sprinkle it around your home or the place to be protected.

There is a multitude of ways of using herbs, and I hope I have laid out some less commented upon methods here to inspire your imagination when working with herbs in magic.
