Ingredients:

*

Two taper candles (one pink, one red)
*

Red thread
*

Jasmine Oil

To draw a passionate love your way, during a waxing Moon gather two taper candles, one pink and one red, and some red thread and jasmine oil. Anoint the candles with jasmine oil using your fingertips, then light them while visualizing the flames of passion growing between yourself and new, but yet unknown, love. Link the candles together by making a figure eight between them with the thread while saying over and over:

“Flames of passion and seeds of romance grow; I open my heart to love. Now the one who seeks me shall come.”

For best results, enact the spell on three consecutive nights.

You will need the following items:

* A candle in your favorite color
* A green candle
* A small knife
* Cinnamon joss sticks
* Cinnamon essential oil
* Hyssop herb

The timing of this spell should also be considered as it forms part of the ingredients. Perform the spell during the dark moon.

1. Have a purifying hyssop bath to wash away negativity, then cast a magick circle.

Starting in the east, walk around the room clockwise with a cinnamon joss stick in your right hand. Visualize a blue sphere surrounding your home.

2. Step into the circle. Using the knife, etch your name on the candle chosen to represent yourself, and the jealous person’s name on the green candle. Start so the name begins nearest the wick and goes down the candle.

3.Anoint your candle with cinnamon oil. Light it saying:

“It is my will to banish jealousy from my life.”

Now anoint the green candle and say:

“This candle represents a jealous person who will trouble me no more.”

4. Light the green candle and move it out of the room towards the front door, saying:

“I banish envy out of the door. May your spirit grow past petty spite, to fill your soul with love and light.”

Allow the candle to burn down to the wick.

5. Bind your spell by imagining a blue ribbon of energy and tie a knot with this around your candle, saying:

“I call on Earth to bind this spell, Air to speed its travel well, Fire bring spirit from above, Water fill this spell with love. This spell bound around shall be, to cause no harm nor return on me. As I do will So Mote It Be.”

6. Thank the elements, saying:

“Earth, Water, Fire, Air, leave this circle to my care. Go with my thanks and with my love.”
Now walk around the room anticlockwise with a cinnamon joss stick, seeing the blue circle of flames fading away

This spell is simple and requires no searching for exotic ingredients. It is performed to draw people to you (friends) and enhance your sexual attraction (if you desire more than friends) In many ways, this is a confidence and self esteem spell. You can focus on a specific person during the rite in order to strengthen the bond between you or to draw that person to you. Remember the laws of return however, that which you send out will often return to you.

Do a thorough physical cleaning of your bathroom, and cover any mirrors with material (white or pink towels or sheets are nice) Then draw a bath and to the water add a small handful (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup) sea salt or other available salt while saying:
“Negativity is washed away, I am renewed as of today! Many heads will turn my way, the ones I chose will wish to stay.”

Light three white votive candles or place 3 floating candles in the bath tub, focus on your body, how sensual it is, how beautiful you are. Everyone is beautiful, this spell is just drawing out your best! Women have a strange image of what men desire, and men have an equally odd image of what women desire. This is probably our society’s influences, like TV. Focus on what you like about yourself (there is something). You may also begin to focus on that specific person if desired.

Turn off the lights and turn on your favorite music if possible, something that makes you feel reckless and sexy, or calm and at peace with yourself, depending on your taste, mood, and the desired end result you want. For example, for sex, you may want a sexy rock album, for general attraction, you may want a happy mellow song. The feeling that the music evokes in you is important.

Enter the bath and relax, make sure every part of your body is immersed in the water at least once. If you don’t have a bathtub, tie the salt up in a wash cloth while saying the above words, and use it in the shower.

When you are finished (I spend about an hour and 1/2 in the bathroom and shave, shampoo, etc. beforehand) Repeat the original words, plus this ending line, so you’ll say:

“Negativity is washed away, I am renewed as of today! Many heads will turn my way, the ones I chose will wish to stay.”

“I am blessed, I am loving, I am loved and love myself! I am love!”

It may sound kinda funny, but this one really works. Feel free to intuitively add what you like to this, sandalwood or rose soap, incense, a glass of your favorite ritual beverage, bath oil… especially those made with herbal extracts or essential oils, our favorite perfume or cologne, a special bath towel purchased for this ritual only, etc. Your intuition will only serve to refine this working and enhance its effects!

Take a lock of hair from your lover or spouse and tie a pink ribbon around it. Light three pink candles and then place the hair in a hollowed out apple along with a pinch of ground cinnamon, 7 rose petals and a lock of your own hair tied with a white ribbon. Pass the apple through the flame of each candle while visualizing yourself and your lover. Wrap the apple in a piece of white cloth, then bury it under the window where you sleep. This will help strengthen the existing bond between you.

Magic and witchcraft has been around since the dawn of time.  No one knows exactly when witchcraft began, but many believe that its origins date back to the Stone Age. At different times, witches have been respected members of their communities or mercilessly persecuted by those who fear what they do not understand. In ancient times, witches were sought for help with illness and trouble, and respected for their knowledge and wisdom. But as Christianity spread through Europe, witches were thought to be associated with the Devil. Thousands of people, both witches and accused witches, were killed. Witchcraft is presently experiencing a  resurgence.

Ancient Times
The roots and history of witchcraft are thought to have begun with the ancient Celtic people.The Celts were a deeply spiritual people, who worshiped both a god and goddess. Their religion
was pantheistic, meaning they worshiped many aspects of the “One Creative Life Source” and honored the presence of the “Divine Creator” in all of nature. They learned to make use of the Earth’s gifts and natural cycles, and thus were viewed as healers and wise women.

560 BC
Witches are begining to be prosecuted. Witches are condemned in the Old Testament.

Sixth to Eighth Centuries
Witchcraft is seen as a threat to Christianity. Witchcraft began to be seen as a threat to Christianity, as many Christians feared that witches were associated with the Devil. Around the sixth century, the Christians began to outlaw witchcraft.

13th Century
The Inquisition begins, under orders from Rome. Thousands of witches and others accused of heresy and blasphemy are imprisoned and executed.

15th to 17th Centuries
The history of witches continues with witch hysteria taking hold in Europe; thousands of people are tortured and killed in the interest of ridding Europe of witches. Burning witches at the stake becomes the preferred method of execution.

1692 to 1693
The notorious Salem Witch Trials occur in the American Colonies, resulting in the hanging deaths of 19 people and one death by pressing. Three others died in prison while awaiting trial. In all, more than 150 people were accused and tried.

19th Century
Spiritualism and witchcraft begin to flourish in England once again. Many books on the subject were published during this time.

1950s
Laws forbidding witchcraft are finally dropped in England in 1951. During this same time, a restructuring of ancient witchcraft, called Wicca, begins in England.

The term witch, which means to “twist or bend,” has its origin in the ancient, Anglo-Saxon word “wicca,” which is derived from the word “wicce,” which means “wise.” Witch is also related to the German word, “weihen,” which means “to consecrate or bless.” Some say that the origins of the witch date back thousands of years, to the days when the goddess was worshiped and humanity had great reverence for the powers of nature and for women as creators of new life. In the “New Age” philosophy, this relates to the concept of “Gaia,” or “Mother Earth,” which views planet earth as essentially a living being.
