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.
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:
Set the stage for hands-on pleasure before you knead your lover’s body into ecstasy. Start with your favorite music. I prefer Indian ragas because they seem to have a naturally sexy rhythm. Whether it is classical guitar, angelic harps, or an ambient electronic band from Iceland, it should relax and bring pleasure. Light pink, red, and brown candles to create a loving, sexual atmosphere that is strongly grounded. Light incense your lover has previously complimented, and lay out towels you have warmed and oils and lubricants you have also warmed. Turn up the heat a bit and turn down the lights to simply create a “spa” feeling for utter unwinding. I have some honey, goose feathers, and an edible raspberry-and-mint rub I like to share as well.
First undress your partner, very slowly and gently.
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,
Ah, the big date you’ve been looking forward to all week. And you, clever one, planned it on a new moon night. If this new moon happens to be in the signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Libra, or Pisces, you are really in for a treat tonight! Here is the last-minute preparation to guarantee you will have the time of your life. Gather the following ritual elements:
2 red candles
Your favorite essential oil (mine is vamber, a concoction of equal parts vanilla and amber oils that makes me feel instantly erotic)
Thorn of a rose
Take the two red candles and anoint them with your essential oil. Take the thorn and scratch your name on one candle and your lover’s name on the other.
Anoint yourself between your breasts and over your heart, and then speak these words aloud twice:
Tonight, under this moon’s light, we will fall under each other’s spell.
Tonight, under these stars so bright,
we will ignite a fire and never quell.
With these lips, this mouth, and my art
I will explore the sacred mysteries of the human heart.
When your object of desire arrives, you should both get comfortable. At an opportune moment, ask your lover to light the two candles. Take his or her hand and place it over your heart, lean forward, and very gently kiss him or her. For this magic to blossom into full power, you should remain standing and only kiss, slowly and gently but with increasing intensity, for at least thirty minutes. The art of kissing begins with lips only, gently tickling, licking, and nibbling on your partner’s lips before moving on to the fabulous French kiss.
