LOVE POTIONS

Potions are powerful tools that can enhance spells or be used on their own to create love where none existed before. They can be essential oil mixtures, used in conjunction with candles for maximum effect, or decoctions or other edibles taken by mouth.

CLARY SAGE POTION

This essential oil combination can be used to draw a new lover to you, or it can enhance harmony in an existing relationship.

You will need:

3 drops clary sage oil
1 drop sandalwood oil
1 drop ylang-ylang oil
A small bowl
A pink or red candle
Matches

Stir the oils together in the bowl and then rub the mixture all over the candle. Light the candle and burn for three hours. Be careful to gently snuff out the flame, as blowing out the candle will blow your wishes away. Repeat each day as necessary until the desired result is achieved.

CITRUS POTION

This essential oil recipe is best used when you have a lover in mind but that person thinks of you only as a friend.

You will need:

3 drops lavender oil
1 drop lemon oil
3 drops orange or tangerine oil
A small bowl
A candle of any colour
Matches

Stir the oils together in the bowl and then rub the mixture over the candle. Light the candle and say the name of your love interest three times out loud. Let the candle burn for three hours before you snuff it out. To heighten the effect of this potion, you may also light the candle when you and your love interest are together (but you must not say why you are performing the ritual).

FLOWER HERB POTION

Mix up this potion before you pay a visit to the person you wish to be your love.

You will need:

Small bunch marigold
Small bunch lavender
Small bunch rosemary
Mortar and pestle
A shallow dish

Place the herbs in the light of a full moon for three hours. Next (and this can be done the following day), strip or pluck the soft leaves and petals from the stems of the herbs and flowers. Using the mortar and pestle, muddle the leaves together until their fragrance is released. Transfer the concoction to the shallow dish and place in a room where you know your love interest will be spending time.

ROSE QUARTZ SPELL

You will need:

Four candles
A table and a chair
Matches
A piece of rose quartz

Place the candles on the table at due north, due south, due east, and due west. Light them. Hold the rose quartz in your hands and sit in a chair, facing the table. Close your eyes and repeat the following:

As the room fills with the energy of this stone,

May love full my life so I am not alone.

Then place the rose quartz on the table in the middle of the candles and say:

New love, enter into my world and into my heart,

New love, let us never be apart.

Gently snuff out the candles and let the candles and quartz sit on the table overnight.

ROSE AND CANDLE SPELL

Perform this spell in the evening before bedtime.

You will need:

A red rose
Two large red candles
Matches

Arrange the rose and candles on a table by your bedside, putting the rose between the candles. Do not light the candles yet. Go to sleep. At sunrise the next morning, sit by an open window that faces east. Hold the rose and recite these words:

This red rose is for true love

True love, come, come, to me

Return the rose to its place on the table. Light both candles, and, as you look into their flames, visualise love growing in the heart of your intended. Keep the candles lit for a full day and night or until the rose begins to wilt. Bury the rose in a sunny spot.

• Valentine’s Day card
