Friday nights have long been sacred to the rituals of love – Friday is the day sacred to Venus, the Goddess of Love. If your Friday nights have been bereft of dates lately, set aside the next one that falls on a waxing moon to do this spell.
You Will Need;
- A white or red candle anointed with coriander, jasmine or tuberose essential oil
- A candle holder & lighter
- A painting or drawing of your ideal partner (but not a photo of a film star)
- A willow twig fashioned into a love knot (just a simple knot, once in the twig)
When to Perform;
On a Friday evening between the hours of 6 & 7pm.
You should have made some kind of representation of your ideal mate, your own work, drawn either figuratively or as a proper sketch or watercolour. If you’re not great at art, just draw a figure with perhaps one or two features you’re often attracted to, such as longish hair, a beard, warm eyes or strong shoulders.
As you start your magic you should roll the candle once gently in the picture, and then unwind it.
Place the candle in its holder and put the drawing in front of it on the table.
Take the willow you fashioned into a love knot in your dominant hand, and also light the candle with this same hand, asking Venus for her special blessing on your work.
From now on you must concentrate almost hypnotically on the candle flame, feeling its power and warmth, asking that it draw love into your life.
Glance at the picture you have made, and imagine someone close to you who is laughing with you and sharing a happy moment. See if you can almost feel them in the room with you, hear their voice, and imagine you feeling happy with them.
Keep the love knot with you throughout the spell, for example in a pocket, and leave it knotted all the next day.
Visualise all this intent and happiness going into the candle and as it burns down think of it going off into the universe to make this happen.
Let the candle burn down low, as close to the bottom as you can safely go, (this could take several hours).
Every so often, (say every half hour) go back to the candle, look into the flame, visualising yourself happy and content with this person.
24 hours after you began the spell, unknot the willow to free the spell.
IF YOUR POWERS OF CONCENTRATION ARE GOOD AND YOU HAVE GENERATED A LOT OF ENERGY AND PASSION IN YOUR THOUGHTS, a new love could have been introduced to you before the Friday one moon from the date of your spell (i.e within one month).
if not, try again next waxing moon.
