To prepare for new relationships and deepen the expression of feeling and intensity in your love life, create a center from which to renew your romantic spirit. Here you can concentrate your energy, clarify your intentions, and make wishes come true. If you already have an altar, incorporate some special elements, such as red candles or red crystals, or anything associated with Venus, like copper or a seashell, to enhance your sex life. Your altar can sit on a low table, a big box, or any flat surface dedicated to magic. One friend of mine has her sex altar at the head of her bed. Begin by purifying the space with some smoke cleansing. Then cover your altar with a large red silk or silk-like fabric. Place two red candles at the center of your altar, and then place a soul mate crystal—two crystals naturally fused together—at the far-right corner of the altar. These are widely available at metaphysical stores. Anoint your candles with jasmine and neroli oil. Also keep the incense you think is sexiest on your altar. Place fresh Casablanca lilies in a vase, and change them the minute they begin to fade. Lilies are heralded as exotic and erotic flowers, prized for their seductive scent.
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:
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.
Have you exchanged meaningful eye contact with an appealing stranger at a coffee shop? Seen an artistic-looking individual at a gallery opening? Felt that tug in your tummy, the lingering heat of his or her gaze? See the following spells for what you can do about it. Simple and powerful love magic ensures you will “merry meet again!”
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.
