A moonlight spell TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS ON/OFF AFFECTION. Perhaps your relationship is in difficulty because you’re not certain your partner is really sincere with you: his affections, attentions and passions may be very on/off. A close friend might advise you to ditch it and find a new love, but if you want to give it one last chance to see if it could ever be the real thing, this might help. You must be prepared to find out whether your love is going to last through this, the test of truth of intent. Once you have asked the moon goddess to illuminate your lover’s hidden thoughts the relationship will begin to falter if it is better that it should end: you alone can decide. YOU WILL NEED A small rosemary seedling; a small vervain seedling; 9 flowers (preferably roses or carnations); carnation oil PERFORM THIS SPELL ON A MONDAY, THE DAY OF THE MOON, WHEN IT IS NEARLY BUT NOT YET PAST FULL. In a large pot, window box or herb bed, plant your rosemary and vervain plantlets together, not so close that they strangle each other nor so far apart that they lose touch. Around the plants, place the nine flowers in a kind of clock face. Speak to the moon and ask for help and honesty in your undertaking. Touch each flower lightly and say your lover’s name and, when you have touched the ninth (the number of completion), ask your love to put away his indifferent habits if he really cares for you and to love you more completely. NOW YOU MUST SAY THE WORDS: ‘Carnation (or rose) one, our spell’s begun. Carnation two, to me be true. Carnation three, be drawn to me. Carnation four, knock at my door. Carnation five, come share my life. Carnation six, our souls shall mix. Carnation seven, blessed now by heaven. Carnation eight, are you my mate? Carnation nine, no more repine. Nine love flowers beside me lay, bid my love the truth to say.’ LET THE FLOWERS WITHER OVER SEVERAL DAYS, THEN CRUMBLE THEM INTO A DISH. Add a few drops of carnation oil and let them smoulder in the ashes of a fire or on a stove to release the most powerful aroma. During the burning, ask again to be told the direction of your love relationship. WITHIN NINE MONTHS, EITHER YOUR PARTNER WILL COMMIT HIMSELF TO YOU PROPERLY, OR YOU WILL SEPARATE SO A NEW, TRUE LOVE CAN FIND YOU.
