YOU’VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR SOME TIME NOW AND YOU KNOW THIS IS THE PARTNER FOR YOU.
Perhaps because he’s male, or because he’s been hurt in love before, or even because he wants to buy you a house before he pops any questions, the subject of marriage seems to be taboo. There is no point in trying this spell if the partner you have in mind is spoken for elsewhere or is ultimately wrong for you; but if you feel he just needs a push to make up his mind, this spell is tailor-made for the purpose.
YOU WILL NEED
Orange blossom, rose buds or apple blossom; 1 pink or white candle; neroli or orange blossom oil; a willow twig; a strand or lock of your lover’s hair
TO BEGIN THIS SPELL YOU MUST MAKE A ‘LOVE ALTAR’; THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR ALL LOVE SPELLS, IN FACT, BUT CRUCIAL TO THIS ONE.
Lay a rose–pink cloth or silken scarf over a small table and decorate it with orange blossom, rose buds or apple blossom. Many cultures consider orange blossom sacred to weddings; the scent is passionate and yet soothing.
CHOOSE A FRIDAY AND A WAXING MOON TO WORK THE SPELL.
Light a pink candle, or white if you prefer, and ask divine blessing on your workings. Address your thoughts either to Venus/Isis or Eros/Cupid. Anoint yourself with a few neat drops of neroli or orange blossom oil (diluted in a few drops of sweet almond oil if your skin is sensitive to it neat). Now take your willow twig and weave it into a knot with your lover’s hair, saying all the while: ‘Declare yourself to me truly (first name); I mean you no harm and can contribute to our life of settled joy!’ Place the knot beside the flowers on the love altar, and ask for divine guidance and help.
YOU MUST KEEP THE KNOT WITH YOU WHEN YOU SEE YOUR LOVE AND ALWAYS WEAR THE ORANGE BLOSSOM OIL, A SIGNAL THAT YOU ARE READY TO COMMIT TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
At least once a week, add a few drops of the oil to your bath in a cleansing, loving ritual. Before long (if he’s the right one for you) you’ll have subtly worn down his resistance.
