Love Spells
All You Need Is Love Spell
With the Moon presently waxing in Cancer, and with lovely Venus influencing her day—Friday—this is a good day for a love spell—but not to capture a lover; instead, use today to bring more love into the world. Get a pink candle, and anoint it with rose oil. Light the candle, and burn rose-scented incense. Play appropriate music if you wish, the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love,” for example. Say to yourself as you listen:
Love is everywhere.
Love is coming to me.
Love is within me.
Love surrounds me.
I send love into the universe,
Knowing it will come back to me.
Meditate on love for a short while, then blow out the candle. You can relight the candle and repeat this every Friday.
Binding a New Love Spell
You can do this love binding spell using strands of hair or string (hair is more powerful, but difficult to work with). If you use hair, take a strand of your own and one from your love, and braid them together. Chant both of your names as you work. If you use string, anoint each piece with your personal scents first. Hold both strings together, and tie a knot at one end while focusing and saying: “I bind this knot and bind our love.” Then tie another knot saying: “I bind this knot and bring [your love’s name] desire.” Continue tying knots and stating the qualities you want to bind into your relationship. When you’ve tied all the knots you want, wrap the cord around the base of a candle and light it.
Chestnut Love Spell
Open your heart to love by lighting your favorite incense five minutes before midnight. Pass one chestnut, a white candle, some musk oil, and a spool of red thread through the smoke, concentrating on cleansing and filling the objects with universal love. Rub the oil on the candle, and light it. Focus on the flame for three minutes, thinking of harmony in love. Draw the sigil of Jupiter on the chestnut with a black marker, then dab a bit of the oil on the design. Wrap the chestnut with thread as many times as you like, saying:
Love and harmony come this night,
Earth and air and Spirit bright.
Bring to me your loving light.
Carry the chestnut in your purse or pocket, and re-empower it once a month.
Growing Love Spell
To make a love grow, start by mixing crushed rose petals with water. Heat this in a pot without boiling every day, stirring clockwise and imagining love coming to you. Once the water has mostly evaporated—usually about four days—a clay will form. Fashion this clay into heart shapes, and allow it to dry. Plant these rose hearts under rose bushes and say:
As this rose blooms,
So will love come to me.
As this rose grows,
So will love grow for me.
Carry a rose heart with you always, and remember to tend to your garden and your heart.
Growing Your Love Spell
In order to bring an increasing flow of love your way, obtain seeds (or purchase seedlings) for any plant you wish to grow, along with a small flowerpot and some potting soil. Plant the seeds, or seedlings, and bless them. Imagine that as they grow, so will the love in your life. Visualize yourself giving and receiving love. Nurture the plants by ensuring they have enough water and sunlight, and look upon them each day asa symbol of increasing love in your life. Use words such as this for your visualization:
Great spirit,
Bless these gentle plants.
Allow them to grow in love.
And as they do, let my loving nature increase.
Help my relationships to grow and flourish,
Seed to flower,
Minute to hour –
Bring love into my life.
Love Divination Spell
In medieval calendars this was a day of love, when all nature found a mate. By the eighteenth century this was called St. Valentine’s Day Eve, and was set aside as a time to divine the identity of a future love. Prophecies were sought by inducing dreams or by scrying. To see a possible future mate, try this spell. On a table, place your favorite scrying tool—a sphere, mirror, or bowl of water. Surround this with five dried bay leaves, placed so they will roughly represent the shape of a pentagram. Inhale the scent of the leaves, relax, and say:
With these leaves of bay,
let me see the love coming my way.
Scry for about ten to fifteen minutes. When done, put the leaves in a love charm bag to use again.
Peace and Love Ritual
Love and peace are powers greater than we can know, but we can tap into the energies that surround these concepts and bring them into the new week by anointing a rose quartz with gardenia oil today. As you anoint the stone, whisper “peace” and “love” to yourself, magnifying the energy in the stone. Carry the stone with you today and any day you desire peace and love. A few times each day, take a moment to slow and deepen your breathing. Holding the stone in your hand, inhale and say the word “peace” to yourself. Feel a peaceful sensation fill your body. As you exhale, think the word “love,” and see a loving pink light flow through you into the world. Repeat two more times each time you effect the spell. You will not regret it.
Seeking May Love Spell
So, you didn’t find the love of your dreams at the Beltane ritual. With the Moon waxing in Taurus, however, and on a Friday yet, this is an excellent time for a love spell. Be careful, though, since Mercury is retrograde now, and this means you must plan carefully and not expect immediate results. This love spell is very simple, but takes preparation. Spend some time thinking about what you seek in a mate, and write down a list of qualities in two columns—one of what you want in another person, and another column of what you have to offer. Cast a circle, light two candles to light your love’s way to you. Recite the list of qualities, alternating the two columns, moving the two candles closer as you speak. End by blowing out the candles.
Three Card Spell for Love
For prosperity in love, pass three new Ace of Hearts playing cards, three clothes pins, a red pen, a red candle, and some Jupiter oil through incense smoke. Around the heart on each card write the words: “Expand positive universal love in my life.” Draw the sigil of Jupiter on the back of each card, and dab each card with Jupiter oil. Pin the cards to a tree in your backyard, asking that universal love be delivered to you by the soft winds. Don’t worry if the cards disappear or blow away, they are a love offering to the universe.
Valentine Love Spell
It all starts with two red candles and a small piece of chocolate. Light the candles and eat the chocolate just before reciting this verse:
Candles glow and love grow,
Fill my heart with sacred play.
Love be near and love be clear,
Open hearts so they can hear.
Expressions of love, joy, and trust,
Not confused by want and lust,
Magnify my love to see,
The heart whose love is meant for me.
Love’s great beauty, Love’s great truth
Is in my heart and spirit too.
Open my heart to the one for me;
Open my eyes so I can see.
If another heart yet waits for me,
Reveal my soul mate, whe’er he may be.
Make me wise to love as you.
Reveal my soul mate, loving and true.
Fill my true love’s mind with thoughts of me.
Happy, caring, loving, and free.
Keep me happy, cheerful and true,
Patiently awaiting my lover new.
True love will come when time is right,
May it be this very night.
If time be right, and I be prepared,
Speed my love’s journey with no time spared.
So mote it be.
