Love Spells




The love spells and this introduction will provide a great deal of information about healing yourself and your relationships with others, but it really is an introduction to love spells.

An Introduction to Love Spells
Timing: Workings to increase something or gain something are generally done during the waxing moon... while the moon is growing from new to full. Workings to decrease something or to get rid of something (like bad habits) are generally done during the waning moon ....while the moon is going from full back to new. Witches work with the cycles of nature and by doing so, our own personal energy (which is a part of nature and everything) is increased. These are brief answers of the basics. If the timing isn't right for your working, either wait or try it anyway. Timing is only a minor element in magic. You are the primary element!

Spell Design: You should definitely custom design your workings with what you know and what you have on hand. For example, if you are not familiar with patchouli, and do not have it on hand, substitute it with something you are familiar with like vanilla, musk or whatever. When you chose a substitution, try to use something that triggers the feel of the working. For example, you might not want to use eucalyptus from the dried flower store as a replacement for a rose in a self beauty spell. (Unless of course it makes you feel beautiful) In other words, follow these two basic guidelines in all of your workings:

1) Never cast a spell that includes words you don't understand. If you want to try that spell, change the words! And avoid using odd ingredients if you don't know what they are.
2) A spell that is designed completely or partially by you has a closer connection to your personal power. It will be easier for you to do and more powerful and effective. Feel free to tinker, but keep good records in your book of shadows so that you can repeat the successful ones if desired.

There are many books on the market that have tables of correspondences for herbs, stones, and other ingredients. These will tell you the traditional ways in which things have been used magickally or spiritually. It is a good idea to refer to them for assistance. Even after consulting a reference book, let your own intuition make the final decision.

View: It is hoped that by reading this site, people who are new to magic will discover that it can be dangerous to alter lives through the use of magic without having the knowledge and understanding to create balance. However, sometimes it is necessary for people to learn through experience. Perhaps by exploring the ideas and spells on the site, these experiences may cause less harm to the practitioner and the people around them.

We know that love spells are frequently sought after and that people will find them one way or another. Our goal then is to provide here a selection of workings designed to be less manipulative. However, even the most harmless love spell can be made manipulative through the intentions of the practitioner. We see love magick as a potential way to heal the self and relationships, but we know that not everyone views them as that.

Questions and Answers:


Do you know of any instances in which love spells have really worked?

Yes many, but often unfortunately, because if the circumstances had been left unaltered by magic, the practitioner may have learned more about being a worthy and loving partner, or may have found a better match. This isn't always the situation, but we hear about it all too frequently.

An example would be a woman casting a spell to get her X boyfriend back. The spell works but she is stuck in an abusive relationship. Another example could be a man casting a spell to keep his girlfriend faithful. Instead, she becomes resentful and feels controlled but has no visible reason to be this way. (Spells to keep a person faithful are doomed from the start. If you feel that your partner may be unfaithful, then this obvious lack of mutual trust and communication shows that some mundane work is needed more than magic.)

If I am looking for a really intense spell, which one should i use?

Nearly every spell you encounter has the potential to be intense. It is not the spell that matters as much as the practitioner her/himself. The spells on this site have all been successful for several people, but that is no guarantee. A focused mind, a powerful will, and wisdom are the primary ingredients in an intense spell. All that we can provide is the knowledge or what is considered the external aspects of the spell. You must provide the rest.

How long will it take for this spell to work?

Spells vary in the time that is takes for results to be obvious. These fluctuations are due to timing; the mental, physical, and spiritual state of the practitioner; the target of the spell, if any; the specific relationship situation; and more variables too numerous to list. Generally a love spell should work within eight hours to three months. Try to specify the timing when you are doing the working, possibly incorporating it into the words of power that you say while doing some of the stated actions. (lighting the candle, lighting the incense, etc.)

Should I use a Voodoo doll?

Dolls, or poppets, have been used in a variety of cultures for magic. They are quite effective tools. We never specifically recommend what type of working people should do, but as far as what things work in spells, dolls or images are excellent. They work on one or both of the following magical theories:


1. Similarity / Association- Something used as a representation of or is a symbol for a person can be affected magically to effect changes in the actual person. Example: A poppet made to look like a specific person. Like attracts like sort of thing.
2. Contagion- An object that contains a part of a person (clothing, scent, strands of hair, etc.) can be affected magically to effect changes in the actual person. Example: A poppet that is made with belongings of a person such as a necklace or piece of clothing.

Will the spells work for same sex couples?

Yes, of course, love is love.

I want to regain my X lover who recently started seeing another guy. If I cast a spell to get my X back, will the spell hurt the person he is seeing?

That's a complex question. To cast a manipulative love spells is always to invite a certain amount of chaos and will result in repercussions on some level.

In other words, by forcing him back to you, there are many unknowns that will have to occur in other areas. You are affecting several lives and without a great deal of experience (and sometimes even with it) rebounded spells can happen. A rebounded spell is one that doesn't work the way you intended it to, missed your intended target, bounced back to you or otherwise became botched.


For example: you cast a spell for $. A week later your parents die and you receive an unexpected inheritance. Another example: you cast a spell for a specific job. A person with better qualifications and five children failed to get the job and became homeless, their children turned over to social services.

So, you can see that whenever you do magick, there are many things to consider. Love spells are the most unpredictable. Harm can come in many ways. If you are not experienced at magic, it is not recommend that you perform a love spell. If you still wish to perform love magic, try adding words of power to the following effect, "Let this be according to free will, and let this harm no one, including myself" My wife has been cheating and says she isn't the same girl I married. What spell should I do to make it like it once was?

The person you fell in love with is obviously still within her, but people do change. A spell may not be what is required at this time, but instead keep an open mind and communicate. We would recommend counseling. Another idea, she may be cheating on you to make you jealous enough to acknowledge that she has changed.

I've read that spells always return to you threefold. Is this true? If so, how can we survive after casting a love spell? Are there really terrible consequences that we might have to face after casting spells on others?

The threefold law is a basic spiritual truth that is stated in many ways depending on the path you follow. Spells do always return to the practitioner, however the threefold law is only one interpretation of how often, or with what intensity they do return to you. To survive after casting a love spell, you either: 1. don't do them in the first place or 2. use your wit and resources to find a way to lessen the negative implications. For example, a self confidence spell will come back to you by making you even more confident. Everyone is attracted to people who are positive and sure of themselves so this is a love spell of sorts, but was cast as more of a self love spell. Magical work requires a great deal of creativity! Keeping your intentions pure will also help. If you state in your spell "let this harm none" but don't really mean it, then your intentions are not pure and harm will return to you.

As far as consequences, I once asked the same questions. I also had to learn the hard way. Use your wit and wisdom, and you won't run into as many problems as you would if you throw away the ethics and just go for it. Consequences vary greatly and depend on too many variables to analyze here. But keep your intentions pure and love in your heart and that is what will come back to you. Avoid manipulating others or commanding them to love you and you won't be stuck in some bad situations.

Responsibility is essential for a magic practitioner, and the word responsibility takes on new meaning as you learn about ethics and love. There is no one to point a finger of sinful guilt in magic, we simply accept our lives because we've made them what they are. Witches generally do not do negative magick, just as Christians generally do not burn people anymore. The abilities are there, but society has changed. The sign of a masterful Witch is one who finds a positive means to solve problems, even if the easiest and clearest path is to curse, hex, or entrance someone, there is always another way.

What is a C.O.P.?

A C.O.P is a Circle of Protection or a Circle of Power. It is created by a Witch or magic user to do one or all of the following (and in some traditions, even more than those listed):

Contain energy raised
Protect the Witch from negative energy
To create a place "between the worlds", outside of time and space

Because this site is intended for experienced practitioners, it is not in our scope at this time to reiterate circle casting techniques. Search the internet or the links pages for the numerous wonderful introductory sites to help with the C.O.P. techniques. Also, check out some books about Wicca, Witchcraft, or magick. Almost anything by Scott Cunningham or Silver Ravenwolf will have basic circle casting techniques. You can get a free catalog from Llewellyn by calling 1-800-THE-MOON. This publisher has several books by those authors, or check out Amazon Books online and see the recommended reading list for others.

Introduction
A Little Love Spell
A Simple Love Spell
A Spell For Love
Love Spell #1 Jezebel
Love Spell #2 SoulMate
Love Spell #3 Path Crossing
Love Spell #4 Pure and Simple
Love Spell #5 Uniting Ladder

---------------------------------------------------

A LITTLE LOVE SPELL

Put the following things in a drawstring bag:

1 Rose Quartz,
1 Pink Feather,
and 1/5 Cup of Clove.

Get one pink candle to burn while you're chanting the spell.
Now light the candle and chant the following words

"Love shall come to me by the powers of three,
by my will so shall it be!"

At this time anoint the bag with holy water and say, "The bag is sealed and the charm is made."



A Simple Love Spell
You will need:
A rose quartz crystal
A pink or red candle
Rose incense
and some love to give
Light the incense and the candle.
Think of all the good things love will give.
Take the crystal and hold it close to your heart while saying:

I raise my voice to the Goddess
and the God to help in the
Manifestation of love in my life.
I know that I am ready for the
Give and take of love.
I put my faith and trust in you
With the knowledge that the one
You bring is worthy of the gift of love
That I shall give.



A Spell for Love

Equipment
Two candles, one white, one in your favorite color; two holders; a rose- colored altar cloth; a piece of red chalk.

The Spell
In the circle, ground and center. Meditate on all the preconceived ideas you have about the perfect partner. Maybe you have a particular candidate in mind for romance. Release the thought of that person(it would be most unethical to work magick to make a certain person love you; this would violate their free will, and put you in jeopardy by The Law of Return). Release all notions of what your perfect lover will look like. These are externals, and if you cling to them then you run the risk of overlooking your ideal mate simply because your conscious mind was focused on superficialities. When your mind is clear and open, hold the candle of your favorite color: this represents you. Meditate, then speak aloud all the qualities and energies you are willing to bring to an intimate relationship. Replace that candle on the altar, and pick up the white one. This represents your ideal partner. Speak aloud the essential qualities you desire in a mate, and ask Aphrodite to bring you together in this lifetime. Then place the two candles in their holders at opposite ends of the altar. Draw a heart on the center with the red chalk, large enough for both candle holders. Each day thereafter, meditate on the perfect loving relationship for a few minutes, and move the two candles an inch close together. If you started on the new moon, then by full moon the candles should be touching in the center of the heart. When they meet, draw two more hearts around the first one, raise energy by singing your favorite love song, and charge the candles. This is a powerful spell, best done on the first Friday after the New Moon.

You will need:
A Sheet of Paper
A Pen
Rose Petals
Jasmine Incense
Pink or Red Candle
Rose Quartz, Ruby, or Garnet Gemstone is optional

Light the candle and incense, relaxing completely. Think of all the qualities you desire in a lover, such as faithfulness and honesty. Write them down, being specific. Take as much time as you need, making sure every quality you desire is written down in a clear way. You get what you ask for!

When you are finished with the list, go outside, leaving the candle and incense burning in safe containers. Look up at the sky and find a star that attracts you or appeals to you the most. Holding the rose petals and gemstone in your hands, visualize the starlight beaming down to fill your hands, infusing the rose petals with power. Say:

"Star of love burning bright,
aid me in my spell tonight.
Unite my true love to me,
as I will then it shall be."

Go back inside and sprinkle the rose petals around the base of the candle, and place the gemstone in front of it. Picture yourself as a bright flame that is attracting the person who is best for you. Then call softly:

"Hear me as I call to you;
Come to me, my love so true!"

Trust that the universe will draw you and your true love together when the time is right. Repeat this spell each month until true love finds you. Remember not to ever do a spell to force someone to love you against their free will.



Love Spell #1 "Jezebel" This spell was first developed in 1989 by a group in a college dorm. It seems to draw many! people, even if only one person is specified. The targets drawn, are often obsessed with the practitioner for about 2 months and the passion is intense. The 2 month time, as well as the lack of specified target focus may have been the inexperience of the practitioners involved. The group had only been practicing Witches for about 3 years.

components needed:

a clear mind and focused goal
1 large (7 day) red candle
2 small white votive candles
patchouli incense
rose scented bar soap
about 1 Tablespoon sea salt (best) or table salt (ok)
purified, fresh spring, rainwater, collected dew or tap water
Timing: Within the 3 days before the full moon, and not after the full moon. Fridays are good, but not necessary. This will work at any time, but having the full moon does seem to amplify it. This ritual spell is done in three parts and should be executed in one graceful movement:

Begin Part 1: Prepare the ritual area and spell components. On the red candle, inscribe a name or magickal symbols and runes, or place a photograph of the target under it (letters from the person work too) Bathe or shower using the rose scented soap. Clarify your mind at this time, wash away negativity as with any ritual bath, and focus your goal. Reinforce your C.O.P. (see above). Make sure you know the entire ritual, go over it in your mind. Know your "lines" or memorize the one's included here.

On to Part 2: Go outside or to a window or door. Clear your mind and reinforce your personal protective circle or aura. In your own words, state or think your goal. In a clean container (non plastic or metal) dissolve the salt in about 2 cups (500 ml) of water. Use the consecration, cleansing, or blessing techniques of your choice to charge the water, or use this one:

Hold the container of water so you can see a reflection on it's surface. Try to reflect the moon back to you. Take a deep breath. Draw the energy of the moon into the water by visualizing a stream of white light pouring into the water. Take the salt in your projective hand (usually right, or writing hand) and while slowly letting it fall into the water, move your hand clockwise over the surface three times while saying slowly and clearly: (you can repeat each words of power group 3X if desired)

Water pure and clean
Protect me from all unseen
The love I call I will never wean.

Dip your fingertips, wand, or athame into the water and anoint each chakra point, or use your fingers, a bunch of herbs (patchouli great!) or other tool to sprinkle the water over yourself.

Light the two white votive candles now:

Waxing Moon
He/She will be here soon,
morning, night, or afternoon.

Prepare to light the red candle as you say this:

Burning desire,
will not expire,
passion burn as I light this fire!

Part 3: Hold your focused goal in your mind the entire time you are performing this rite, but double your efforts now, hold the lit red candle (both hands or projective hand) and force everything you've got into it. Do NOT allow any doubt in at this point! (if ever!) When you've "spent" your energy projecting it into the candle, set down the candle (on top of photo or letters if included) and prepare to light the patchouli incense while saying:

Drawing scent,
will not relent,
in calling forth the one who's meant.

Confirm your goal once again. Allow the candles to burn down (make sure you have a fireproof surface) and close the rite in your own manner or by saying:

So Mote it Be! (So be it, Let it be so, As I will so mote it be, etc.)

Personally, I include the following optional closing, or some variation of it, to most of my workings:

Let all aspect be true and right,
freewill remains with all this night.
Let this spell not turn on me,
and harm no one, so mote it be!

The red candle should take 3 days to a week and a half to burn down, and by that time, you should have some prospects! If not, go over the 4 checklist questions, and try again. Some of the practitioners I've known prefer to repeat this entire spell each night for the three nights prior to the full moon. They leave the red candle burning, but refocus the goal and the remainder of the working again each night.



Love Spell #2 "Soul Mate"

Please read the Introduction to Love Spells before you cast.

Love Spell #2 "Soul Mate" This ritual is intended to draw a partner who is best suited to you at this time in your life, or one who is "meant" for you. It is supposedly "fail-safe", but remember, you must take responsibility for any results and consequences.

Components Needed:
a clear mind and focused goal
special paper, such as hemp, cotton, real parchment, whatever you deem special
a ritual writing instrument (the pen is mightier than the Athame) such as quill, fountain pen, favorite ball-point, etc. In whatever color ink desired.
Moon incense (see the recipe page)
Charcoal or a small ritual fire
Timing: any time, preferably after dark during the waxing moon. The timing is more flexible with this working for many reasons; the nature of the work, and the full moon energy contained in the moon incense which is an incense of Increase or drawing.

Reinforce your personal circle/aura (C.O.P. see above) and prepare for workings in your usual manner.Using the ritual pen and special paper, write words of power that will call the most perfect partner to you at this time. Do not include specific names, and avoid thinking of a specific person. If you can't find quite the right words, use the following:

If there be a perfect match,
this work tonight will surely catch.
the perfect one who is meant to be,
shall find His/Her way home to me.
In perfect love and perfect trust,
I send this out, but not from lust,
This spell will guide us to unite,
free will remains with us tonight.

When you are finished, read over what you wrote and confirm that everything you want to say is included. When you are certain it is as you wish, spend some time meditating on your goal while you light your ritual fire or the charcoal. When you get "that feeling" (the one when you know everything is right, your will is focused, you know it is certain, you know the feeling...) prepare to begin the physical aspect of the ritual. When the fire has become coals, or the charcoal is glowing happily, read aloud your writing, repeating it 3X. As you read, or as you come to the end of each repetition, sprinkle a small handful (about a Tablespoon) of the incense on the fire. You will want to be practiced at this for the best effect as well as safety, so make up a full recipe of it and accustom yourself to its nature prior to the rite.

Fold the paper and keep it near you for three days. Keep it under your pillow, mattress, or pinned to your night clothes (if you aren't sky/star clad) while you sleep. After three days, light another ritual fire, repeat the C.O.P., reading and incense procedure and this time, burn the paper when you are done. OR you can keep the paper in a special spell box if you use this method. Many Witches have special containers to keep finished workings in. These are usually decorative and personalized with engravings or painting on them that echo their contents. For example, a heart shaped heartwood box with runes and magickal symbols of love on it for this spell. Usually only similar spells are kept together, or each spell is kept in its own box.



Love Spell #3 "Path Crossing"

Please read the Introduction to Love Spells before you cast. Reading through all of the love spells on the site before you attempt one is also recommended. Click here. There is also a love spell book available here.

Love Spell #3 "Path Crossing" This spell is best understood by visualizing a road or path with you on it, and your desired one's path intersecting yours right in front of you. The basic result of this spell is to have the opportunity to meet your target in beneficial circumstances. A good one for that person who you've been admiring but who never notices you, or that you can't get alone to talk to. This is a strange spell that has some surprises. Whenever we try to alter our "fate" or paths in such a way, we open ourselves to learning our life lessons at an accelerated rate. In other words, this is a chaos spell in a way, so make sure you have the inner quietude and energy to deal with the results. (as with most workings) Lots of semi-exotic ingredients to thrill the mystery seeker in all of us!!!! Check out magickal supplier links in the "Resources" section of the site if you are having trouble finding them all. As a spell with a time addition to it, you should see results within 2 weeks. This is a rather manipulative spell and could be seen by some as a darker path, a free will addition to the end is included here.

Components needed:

a marble sized amount of soil/dust/turf from where your target has recently stepped, see instructions
1 whole tonka bean or approximately 1 teaspoon ground tonka bean. (Coumarouna odorata; Dipteryx odorata) caution: Poison!
about a tablespoon of ground/rubbed mugwort (Artemisia vulfaris)
about a tablespoon of dew, collected from roses, see recipes page, or rosewater
1 staurolite crystal (fairy cross, cross stone) preferably equal armed
Collect all the components needed, this can be a fun adventure in itself! Make sure your target was the most recent person to step on the spot you are collecting soil from. You don't want the neighbor's dog to have amorous feelings towards you! It is best to use whole mugwort and grind it in your pestil and mortar prior to the working while focusing on your desired one. To yield the amount needed, start with a small loose handful of dried whole leaves. The tonka bean is also best whole, scrape the outside using your bolline or working knife until you have enough powder. The staurolite is available at most of the numerous magickal supply houses, new age stores, Nature Company stores, educational geology suppliers, etc.
The rose dew is tricky, but not impossible. See the Recipes Page for instructions.

CAN'T FIND THE ROSES? DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE ADVENTUROUS ORDEAL? USE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE ROSEWATER INSTEAD! It isn't quite the same but it has worked for the spell anyway. Available at health food store, drug stores, magickal supply shops, etc.

Timing: The closer to Midsummer (in June)the better, check out the "Almanac" in the "Resources" section of this site for specifics. The timing is appropriate for several reasons, roses usually bloom around June, and love spells are best done around midsummer.

Begin: For this working, you will need a larger circle than your personal one. Cast a C.O.P large enough to move about comfortably ...about 9 ft. diameter. Hold the staurolite in your projective hand and visualize your desired one crossing your path. Say words of power of your choice or use this chant while you are visualizing:

(person's name) to me,
so mote it be!

Repeat this over and over until you feel that the staurolite has been completely charged. Set the stone down on your altar or altar pentacle, anyplace safe and with good energy. Hold the earth you gathered from the footstep in your projective hand and repeat the previous procedure, except when fully charged place it in your cauldron or a mortar while saying your own words or the following:

Let (person's name)'s footsteps take him/her to me.
Our paths will cross, and only me will he/she see.


Continue with the same charges of him/her to me, so mote it be for the mugwort and tonka bean powders. When placing the mugwort in the cauldron or mortar say your words or:

No one else will enter her/his sight,
When our paths cross within a fortnight (14 days/2 weeks)


When placing the tonka bean powder in the cauldron/mortar, say your words or:

Love will blossom in (person's name)'s heart,
Once met, our paths will never part.


Grind together all of the powdered ingredients (deosil) while chanting (person's name) to me, so mote it be. When the powder is fine textured, add enough of the rose water to make a clay like consistency that can be molded. continue chanting....

Knead the clay/dough until smooth and form it around the staurolite while continuing to focus on your desired one. When it seems that the clay will hold its form, let it dry on the altar. End the rite but keep a small shield of protection and focus around the altar (which you may already do). When the mass is dry, put it in a cloth, mojo bag, necklace, medicine bag, whatever you wish that you can carry it easily for the next two weeks. Keep it near you when sleeping too, and for Goddess's sake, go out and place yourself in situations where the spell can work! No one is going to cross your path if you are in your broom closet 24 hours a day, or in front of the T.V.

Because of the manipulative nature of this spell, (a person is named and those silver threads of fate are messed with) it is recommended that if you are going to do this working, place a free will notice at the end. Something like:

Free will remains despite this spell,
I send (person's name) love and wish her/him well.
This spell will harm none, and never turn on me.
this is my will, so mote it be!



Love Spell #4 "Sure and Simple"

Please read the Introduction to Love Spells before you cast. Reading through all of the love spells on the site before you attempt one is also recommended. Click here. There is also a love spell book available here.

Love Spell #4 "Sure and Simple" 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 above, and end it with: I am blessed, I am loving, I am loved and love myself! I am love!

I know it sounds kinda funny, but this one really works. Feel free to intuitively add what you like to this, sandalwood or rose soap, incense (for me always!), 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!



Love Spell #5 "Uniting Ladder"

Please read the Introduction to Love Spells before you cast. Reading through all of the love spells on the site before you attempt one is also recommended. Click here. There is also a love spell book available here.

Love Spell #5 "Uniting Ladder" a love binding spell For a new love, or to have an old love return to you. Love spells to get a person to commit are rare. Many love spells will provide an obsessed partner, but that isn't exactly commitment. This commitment spell is extremely manipulative and most Witches would consider it black magick and against the Rede. (Include me in that group) It also contains some more difficult to obtain ingredients, but is easier than some. (No bat wings or eye of newt!) I would recommend practicing relationship and communication skills, and gaining the trust of your desired one by digging deep into thier emotions and listening carefully whenever they talk. Find out what makes them tick and see if you are compatable.

If you still wish to know the binding commitment spell, here it is, but please do not email me about this spell! It is a magickal working only, not Witchcraft because (in my opinion anyway) it is against the Rede.

Important note: Never never ever tell your target that this working has been done or that a spell has been cast on them. The target will become your enemy if this happens.

Components Needed:

A string or thread from the target's clothing about 9 (or preferably more) inches long.
A string from your clothing of the same length
A Red Candle (any type)
A tall red taper candle
A drop of the person's scent (this would be their favorite cologne/perfume, aftershave, shampoo, whatever they smell like the most)
Dried rose petals
Vanilla extract, about 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce)
A rose quartz (washed in hot soapy water and rinsed well)
1 ounce of rum
2 cups of fresh water (spring water, rain water, collected dew, distilled water, whatever you prefer)
salt (any type)
incense (any type but musk or vanilla are appropriate)
glass phial or bottle
Maintain focus on your target coming to you in love during the entire working and as often as you can until the spell is fulfilled.

Potion Preparation: Bring the fresh water to a boil for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat very low so the mixture stays warm but does not boil. add the rose petals while saying:

'dancing on the wind i go,
to aid ________'s love to flow
his/her love will now fully bloom
His/her desire for me will come soon!'

Reconfirm your focus of the target loving you and coming to you. Add the vanilla extract while saying:

'sweet charm, not meant to harm,
evoke his/her desire to take my arm.
Deep within him/her I summon it,
to come to me as I see fit!'

Reconfirm your focus, remove the mixture from the stove. Add a pinch of salt while saying:

'No one may interfere magickally,
this spell can only be undone by me.'

Reconfirm your focus, add the ounce of rum while saying:

'Drunk with love he/she will come to me,
no other love will he/she see.
Our love will grow in purity,
and once it is true, this spell is set free.'

Let the mixture cool and put it in a nice glass bottle with the rose quartz. This should be a bottle that has an appealing shape and is worthy of containing such a potion. (Do not use a bottle that used to contain something strong smelling like cologne) Now comes the actual spell casting, so far you have completed the potion which is an ingredient of the actual spell.

Timing: This part of the working should start about 15 minutes before sunrise on a Friday. It should be concluded by 1 hour after sunrise so make sure you know it from start to finish in your mind. Check the almanac (on the links page) or your local weather station for exact sunrise times.

Begin: Clear an open area that you can work in and are comfortable in, this should be appoximately a 6 foot diameter space. You should not feel cramped. Find some sort of table with at least 1 foot of top surface space. Place the table in the center of the area you have cleared and assemble the two candles, the strings, the potion, a bowl of salt, incense, target's scent (cologne, etc)

Armed with the salt and starting in the north of your working area, cast a circle by making a salt circle. Cast is clockwise (doesil) while saying:

'I cast this circle to protect me from bane.
I cast this circle to contain my energy until it is open.
The circle is strong and will hold true.'

Light the red candle and facing south say:

'Burning passion and desire,
arise in _______ like a burning fire!'

Place the candle on the table, pick up the taper candle and annoint it with the target's scent. With the cologne or whatever on your index finger, start in the middle of the candle and move down. Go all around the candles bottom half only rubbing in downward strokes. Now start in the middle again and rub up to the wick all around the candle only in upward strokes. Focus on your target coming to you in love.

Take both strings, hold them together and tie a knot at one end while focusing and saying:
'I bind this knot and bring _____ 's love.'

Tie another knot at the opposite end of the parallel strings while saying:
'I bind this knot and bring ______'s desire.'

Tie another knot near the first one on the opposite side:
'I bind this knot and bring ______'s faithfulness.'

Tie another knot next to the second one you tied:
'I bind ______'s love to me.'

Another next to the third one you tied:
'Come to me, so mote it be!'

Wrap the cord around the annointed taper at the base and light it while saying:
'The fire of love burns in his heart!'

Light the incense while saying:
'This smoke does hereby evoke,
his commitment to me that he cannot revoke!'

Sit and focus on your goal, you may wish to chant the following:
'________ to me, so mote it be.'

After a few minutes, pick up the red candle and let three drops of wax fall on the bottle of potion (not in it, just on the lid or glass) and say:
'This spell is sealed!'

Put down the candle, remove the knoted cord, open the potion and dip the cord into it once while saying:

'I infuse this cord,
the spell is stored.
So long as knots remain,
his/her love for me will never wane.'

Recap the potion and hold it above the incense so that smoke surrounds it. Turn it so the smoke reaches all sides and say:
'This smoke seals his love for me!'

Repeat the 'smudging' with incense for the knoted core and say:
'His love is bound!'

Place all items back on the table and go around the circle counterclockwise (widdershins) while saying:

'The circle is open,
the spell is released.
His/her love for me,
will never cease!'

Take the potion outside so that sunlight will infuse it. Set it in the sun for as long as remains of the hour past sunrise. Take the potion in and store it in a safe space. Each day place a drop of the potion on your forehead, each breast and your groin area (4 drops total) carry the cord with you at all times and keep it near you when you sleep. Do not let anyone else see it. You can optionally store the cord in a safe space. Whenever the opportunity arises, sneak a FEW, 3 is best, drops of the potion is food or drink that your target will consume.

This will work, but when is hard to determine as it depends on many factors, among them, your personal power and confidence, timing, the target's will, etc.
