If you have started with this article, you need to go back and read Spellcraft and pay close attention to the parts regarding casting spells on others.
So, you decided to keep reading anyway? Or you've already read that part? Ok, in a nutshell, the way to make someone else love you and remember you is to make YOURSELF lovable and memorable. The only person you always have permission to work on is yourself. All others must give you their permission before you can do any spells either on them or for them. This includes healing spells, love spells, and anything that you may think they need, or think it's for their own good. To do otherwise is to invite the karmic repercussions that will occur from meddling in another person's life and free will.
In keeping with my beliefs, I will not give out a spell which will cause you to reap karmic repercussions of the nasty sort. In our tradition, anything I teach you to do will also come back on me to a certain extent if you misuse it, and it's my fault. So, if you want to find a spell to make the guy you met at the laundromat fall madly in love with you and not be able to sleep until he calls you, look somewhere else.
But if you want to find a true love for your life, or just someone to have fun with, and you are willing to work on yourself - then try this:
Half fill a bathtub with water, add rose petals and lavender (in a mesh bag or old stocking tied up) to the water. You can also add your favorite bath oils or salts. After the tub is done filling, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Reach your arms up in the air and say:"I call upon thee, Aphrodite, Goddess of love! I call upon thee, Venus, Goddess of Beauty! Bless this bath which I have drawn, bless this water with the powers of love and beauty so that as I bathe, I will become more lovable and more beautiful!"
As you relax in the bath, love yourself. Give yourself permission to feel sexy and confident the next time you meet someone interesting. Take time to reveal to yourself how wonderful you can be, and what all your good points are. Ignore your "problem areas", they won't be what attracts someone to you! Focus instead on the things about yourself and your body that you really like. "Think beautiful and BE beautiful!"
YOU WILL NEED:
Begin by taking the bath as described above.
After you come out of the tub, dry off, but don't dress (unless you will be cold and that will distract you - in that case wear something loose). Prepare the red candle by inscribing on it your name, your birthdate, your sun sign, and/or any symbols or sigils that you associate with yourself. If you have a secret name that you use, inscribe that as well.
Next, take the parchment paper and the pen. On this parchment you will write all the qualities you want in a potential lover or mate. For example:
good listener, blue eyes, patient, good singing voice or musical ability, dances well, etc. Write whatever you really would want - and give this some careful thought. Write everything down on the parchment paper. ("Likes to clean house and do the dishes" is good to ask for too!)
After the parchment is finished, take the oil and annoint the parchment with the oil in the corners, and over each quality you want.
As you are doing this, say:
"I call upon thee Aphrodite and Venus, Goddesses of Love and Beauty, hear me! I ask you to send me a lover who is: (read your parchment) I ask you to send him to me, so that I may know true happiness in love! So Mote It Be!"
Now take the oil and annoint the candle, and annoint yourself on your wrists. Light the candle, and as you are lighting it be calling out to the Goddesses in your own words that you want this lover to come into your life.
As the candle is burning, read your parchment again, over and over several times, you can do this aloud or silently. Impress upon your mind these qualities which you are seeking in a lover. At this time also, feel your need for this lover, let your secret desires come forth and feel them. Send the energy of these desires to the candle, and thus to the Goddesses. You can dance to raise energy, and you can dance erotically also to raise your own desires. You may also touch yourself, and please yourself at this time, as you might imagine a lover would please you and touch you. Do whatever you feel you want to do and are comfortable doing. Allow the candle to contimue burning during this time.
When you are ready to end the ritual, the last thing you will burn is the parchment paper describing the qualities you want in a lover. Read it over one last time, and then consign it to the candle's flame. Let it burn completely. (Drop it into an ashtray or flame proof contianer to burn it safely.)
The candle needs to be burned out completely, you don't have to stay right there with it the whole time, just make sure it can burn safely. Take the ashes from the parchment when you are finished, and allow the wind to take them away out of your hand, or you can scatter them in a moving river or stream. To finish the ritual, you should wear the oil you used everyday until the Full Moon.
Be sure to be open to meeting new people, especially during the next two weeks to three month period. Don't turn down invitations to parties and don't just sit at home waiting for someone to call you! Make yourself visible and friendly.
I have a friend who did a variaton of this ritual, and she is now very happily married. This ritual will work for the sincere who don't give up!
