Venus rules this most popular day of the week. Small wonder that this is the ideal night for a tryst. To prepare yourself for a night of lovemaking, you should take a goddess bath with the following potion in a special cup or bowl. I call mine the Venus Vial. Perform this rite on a Friday night.
1 cup sesame oil
6 drops orange blossom oil
4 drops gardenia oil
Bowl
Combine ingredients in the bowl and stir with your finger six times, silently repeating three times:
I am a daughter of Venus, I embody love. My body is a temple of pleasure, and I am all that is beautiful. Tonight, I will drink fully from the cup of love.
Pour the Venusian mixture into a steaming bath and meditate on your evening plans. As you rise from your bath, repeat the Venus prayer once more.
Your chi is your life’s energy, and it is of the greatest importance in your home and your bedroom, where you rest and where the center of love in your life is located. This feng shui for the bedroom will prevent problems before they even happen! Fill your home with the energy of love and happiness with some of the simplest and most effective magic of all by creating sacred and safe space for yourself and your loved ones.
Never bring old pillows into a new home! Old pillows can cause poor sleep and bad dreams, and they can kill a relationship. Old pillows can carry sexual energy, too.
As you walk into your bedroom, the relationship corner will be at the far right in the back right corner. Your love and sex energy will be nurtured there, and you might well consider placing your altar there to serve as your personal wellspring of Eros.
Look at this area with a fresh eye—what is cluttering your love corner with “dead energy”? Half-empty perfume bottles or near-empty cosmetic bottles could be impairing your relationship energy. You must cleanse your space of unhappiness and clear the area of clutter by getting rid of all unnecessary objects and tidying up. To further cleanse the area, ring a hand bell anywhere clutter has accumulated, giving special attention to your bed linens.
