Three for a girl
A SURE SPELL FOR A GIRL BABY. The desire to choose the sex of your child is hardly new. The inheritance of property and power of the family often depended on giving birth to ‘heirs male’, but daughters had their place too. Not only important for ensuring marriage contracts (neighbouring conflicts were sorted out more easily through marriage than war), daughters were a guarantee that any future offspring were unquestionably of your own family line. If, like me, you would love to have a daughter, or if there are already boys in the family and you’re longing for a little balance, this spell will give you an excellent chance of making a girl. Of course, you have to begin before you’re pregnant. YOU WILL NEED FOR EACH NIGHT: 3 pink dinner candles; lemon and lime essential oils; 3 flowers, preferably pinks; half a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice; a douche BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOU SHOULD SPEND AT LEAST A WEEK, PRIOR TO OVULATION, EATING A DIET OF ACID-RICH FOODS, OR AT LEAST MAKE SURE THAT EVERY BREAKFAST IS FOLLOWED BY A GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE. It is helpful if your partner joins you in this. Work the ritual of this spell over three nights: your most fertile night and those either side of it. On the evenings you have set aside, group the three candles closely together and light them, saying: ‘The first candle was loneliness, The second we both share, The third is for our daughter, For whom we now prepare’. Run yourself a warm, but not hot, bath to share with your partner and add a capful of each essential oil. AFTER A SHORT RELAXING BATH, PLACE THE THREE FLOWERS IN A VASE IN FRONT OF THE CANDLES, SAYING THE WORDS OF THE SPELL AGAIN BUT REPLACING THE WORD ‘CANDLE’ WITH ‘FLOWER’. Whilst you do this, imagine a huge beam of pink coloured light circling through the room and cleansing the environment. PRIOR TO LOVEMAKING, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SPELL IS THE DOUCHING. It is imperative that you douche with a solution of the lemon juice and one cup of warm water and leave a little for your partner to bathe his vital parts in too – this helps attract the female sperm. Let the juice take effect for about ten minutes, during which time you should both imagine the pink light surrounding you. ‘Think Pink’ during your lovemaking, and let the candles burn down in the afterglow. REPEAT THE SPELL ON THE FOLLOWING TWO NIGHTS.
