To create your altar, find a small table and drape it in richly colored, luxurious fabrics—perhaps red satin or a burgundy velvet scarf. Take one red and one pink candle and arrange them around a sweet-smelling incense such as amber, rose, or jasmine. Decorate your altar with tokens that represent love to you: a heart-shaped chunk of ruby glass, potpourri made with rose and amethyst, a photo of your lover. Fridays are the time for spelling love, right before dawn. Before you light your candles, anoint them with a love oil of your choice.
Scent your wrists, your throat, and your left breast over your heart with the same oil. Jasmine and rose have very powerful love vibrations to attract and charm a lover. If you desire sexual results, look into the flame of the red candle; if your desire is affection or flirtation, look at the pink candle instead. This simple spell, said aloud, will create loving magic:
If you are like me, you can't afford to buy a ruby on impulse. But I have been gladdened lately by the appearance of three-dollar “rough rubies” at a shop at Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco. If you don’t have a store like that near you, you can shop online at www.ScarletSage.com as they have wonderful stones from around the world. Rubies are stones of great passion. Here is a simple way to light a flame by day that will catch fire with your lover by night.
Hold your ruby in your left hand over your heart and speak these words aloud three times:
I can feel the heat of your skin
and your mouth.
I can taste the kisses sweet.
Your hands on me;
my hands on you.
Oh, lover, hear my song.
Tonight, we will be as one,
all night long.
Now carry your heart-warmed red ruby in your pocket all day long. Don’t forget to give your lover a call and invite him or her over for a long and lovely night.

Supernatural Soul Mates Spell
This conjuration utilizes the secret language of flowers to bring your ideal love into your life. With visualization and daily spell work, you can create the love of a lifetime, custom fit to your specifications. Gather up:
2 candles shaped like human figurines, or two pink candles
Rosemary essential oil
Rose essential oil
2 fresh roses in your favorite color
Any witchy five and dime will have candles shaped like human figures; they are usually red in color. Get one each shaped like a man and a woman (or whatever configuration suits your need) and place them on your altar. If you can’t find these waxen figures, use two pink candles. Also take the two fresh roses and place them in a vase on your altar.
Rub rosemary essential oil on each candle and do the same with rose oil. Rosemary is for remembrance, and rose is for sweetness and affection. Now light the candles and whisper:
If you are “lookin’ for love” and feel like you need the physical release of sex, perform this spell and you will find a lover quickly. This ritual should be performed on the first new moon night for the greatest power. Gather up these supplies:
2 pieces of rose quartz
2 red candles
Take the pieces of rose quartz and place them on the floor in the center of your bedroom. Light both red candles and use this affirming chant twice:
Beautiful crystal I hold this night,
flame with love for my delight.
Goddess of Love, I ask of you guide me in the path that is true.
In your goblet, mix a half-teaspoon of jasmine oil and a half-teaspoon of rose oil. Hold it with both hands and speak these words:
In this bed, I show my love. In this bed, I share my body. In this bed, I give my heart. In this bed, we are as one.
Here lies my happiness as I give and live in total joy.
Blessed be to me and thee.
As you say, “Blessed be,” flick drops of your bed blessing oil from your fingers all across the bed until the cup is empty. Now, lie down and roll around in the bed. After all, that is what it is for!
With this blissful combination of oils, you can summon the spirit of love and harmony any day of the year. Amber, rose, and sandalwood essential essences create a sensual scent that lingers on your skin for hours.
The folklore of the Romani people is replete with love magic, charms, and enchantments. The way to a person’s heart can truly be a dish of delight spiced up with magical herbs. Gather up:
