Ultimate Glamour

Few people know that the word “glamour” comes from the seventeenth-century Scottish word “glamour,” which meant to cast a spell or enchantment over anyone who looks upon you.

During the waxing moon, take the rings, necklace, and earrings you are planning to wear during a special tryst and lay them on your altar to imbue them with magic. Mix together one tablespoon each of the dried herbs vervain, thistle, chamomile, and elderflower. Cover your jewelry with the herb mixture and then sprinkle salt on top. Leave for at least 5 minutes, then shake off the herbs and pick up your gems. Hold the jewelry in your hands and chant:

    Bless these jewels and the hand and heart of the wearer

    with the light of heaven above.

    May all who look upon me

    See me through the eyes of love.

Now put on the empowered and enchanted jewelry and go off for your special date.

Oil of Love

Indulge in this sensually satisfying ritual concoction that will make your skin glow and will also surround you with a seductive aura. Your personal vibration will draw people toward you thanks to this lovely essence.

Gather together

    * 2 tablespoons (30ml) sweet almond carrier (or base) oil

    * 6 drops jasmine essential oil

    * 6 drops rose essential oil

    * 1 ounce (30g) aloe vera gel

    * 3-ounce (85ml) squeeze bottle

    * 1 tablespoon (15ml) rose water

    * 1 pink candle

    * 1 stick of rose incense

Timing: Perform this ritual on a moonlit night.

Place all the oils, rose water, and the aloe vera gel into your squeeze bottle. Shake the mixture well. As you undress, imagine you are preparing for the one you love. Light the pink candle and rose incense and say:

    My heart is open, my spirit soars.

    Goddess bring my love to me. Blessed be.

Now, pour the Oil of Love into your palm and gently rub into your skin. As you do so, dream of what delights are heading your way.

Attracting That Attractive Stranger

Don’t tell me you have never had a brief but meaningful encounter at your local café or exchanged long glances on the bus crossing town. Shyness tied your tongue, and now your only hope is that chance will bring you together. Try this trusty attraction spell.

Gather together

    * a man-shaped mandrake root or substitute (see spell)

    * 1 cup (20g) of red, white, and pink rose petals

    * 1 red, 1 white, and 1 pink candle

    * 2 goblets of red wine

Place the mandrake root (commonly available at herbalists and metaphysical shops) on your altar. If you cannot find the mandrake root, you could substitute any statue, drawing, photograph, or figure of a man that reflects some quality of your heart’s desire. Surround the root or figure’s base with the rose petals and candles. Place the goblets with a small amount of red wine in them beside the candles. Make sure it is a wine you really like and would want to share with a romantic interest, as you will refill the goblet each evening. Burn the candles for 5 minutes every night for a week, starting on Friday, Venus’s Day.

Sip from one of the goblets, and recite:

    Merry Stranger, friend of my heart,

    Merry may we meet again.

    Hail, fair fellow, friend well met,

    I share this wine and toast you,

    As we merry meet and merry part

    And merry meet again.

Make sure you look your best when you step out as you will soon lock eyes again.
