Elixirs are very simple potions made by placing a crystal or gemstone in a glass of water for at least seven hours. Remove the stone and drink the “crystallized” water. The water will now carry the vibrational energy of the stone, the very essence of the crystal. This is one of the easiest ways to take in crystal healing, and it is immediate. The red stones always hold the “lust for life,” so to push the envelope, put as many red stones into your elixir as you can get your hands on. Gather the following:
Red stones and crystals such as carnelian, garnet, rough ruby, red coral, red jade, red jasper, red sardonyx, cuprite, aventurine, or red calcite
Jar or glass full of water
Amber incense
Red candle
Mix and match the red stones, and remember, if you only have access to one rough ruby and a tiny chunk of red jasper, so be it—that is still a lot of love in a jar!
Food can be foreplay! Feeding each other can be a wonderful prelude to a night of lovemaking, and of course, a little strategically placed whipped cream and chocolate is a delicious lover’s treat. The following is a list of amazing aphrodisiacs that will ensure pleasure and arousal and help you explore the erotic possibilities of your witch’s pantry fully:
Centuries before there was Viagra, there was yohimbe root, now commonly sold in health food stores. Yohimbe is a very potent natural way to maximize any man’s vigor before a special night. Gather the following ingredients for this tea:
• 1 part sandalwood • 1 part myrrh • 1 part yohimbe root
• 3 drops tuberose oil
Make an incense by grinding together these ingredients with your mortar and pestle. For the tea, take the root and slice into thin slivers, as you would slice ginger root. When you have at least a half dozen slices, place into a two-cup teapot and pour in two cups of freshly boiled water. Let it steep for five full minutes,
To strengthen the closeness between you and your lover, plan a special evening on the next full moon. It is said this Eastern wisdom mixture may well have been used by Cleopatra when she and Mark Antony made mad love on the banks of the Nile. Gather these on the full moon:
1 part amber
1 part sandalwood
1 part frankincense
Gardenia oil
Mix the amber, sandalwood, and frankincense, and then add four generous drops of the gardenia oil and grind the mixture together.

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:
This section of spell work relates to the arts of love, starting with the first kiss. Make that kiss unforgettable! Tattoo your touch onto your lover’s skin! Leave more than an impression, and most important, merge into a oneness that is truest enchantment. From time immemorial, witches have enchanted everyone with their magical beauty. That’s because we know how to supplement Mother Nature’s gifts. Before a special evening, I usually employ a “glamour gloss” of my own design so that each kiss is a passion spark. You will need the following:
Lip gloss
Oil of clove
Take your favorite pot of lip gloss; to it add one drop of oil of clove and stir counterclockwise, saying aloud three times:
The ripest fruit, the perfect petal,
my lips are as the honey in the flower.
Each kiss a spell of utmost bliss.
So mote it be.
This will make your lips tingle and give your kisses “spice.” The lucky recipient of your kisses will be spellbound.
Kama Sutra Kiss
The kiss is the gateway to bliss and amorous experience. The kiss provokes erotic ardor, excites the heart, and is an incitement to the natural gift of yourself that you share with your beloved. After you have performed the Anointed Lips spell, think of your kiss as an offering of enchantment. The following is a list of actual Kama Sutra kisses:
Bent kiss: the classic movie-style kiss where lovers lean into each other
Throbbing kiss: the woman touches her lover’s mouth with her lower lip
Touching kiss: the woman touches her lover’s lips with her tongue and eyes and places her hands on her lover’s hands
Turned kiss: one kisser turns up the face of the other by holding the head and chin and then kissing
Pressed kiss: from below or underneath, one lover presses the lower lip of the other lover, who is above, with both lips
Greatly pressed kiss: taking the lip between two fingers, touching the lip with the tongue, then applying great pressure with the lips upon the lover’s lips in the kiss.
