For the New Moon, many witches will often create charms, tools or other magickal objects to use in later magickal workings, which is typically for the Full Moon, but can be used at any point in time. This month's spell is making a love charm sachet.
It is designed to help remove barriers and obstacles that might be keeping us from the experience of love.
Charm bags can be made out of silk, cotton or some other natural material. If you like, use a color that is associated with the type of magick you are doing. For this charm bag, white, pink or red would be appropriate.
When crafting your charm bag, remember to keep your focus on the intent of the charm. This is what helps imbue your charm work with the energy necessary to bring manifestation, not just the herbs you place inside it.

Start by walking clockwise around the circle space,
visualizing a blue/white light following your path as you walk.
Say these
words or something similar: We cast this circle to protect us from all
forces that come to us harm. Make another round walking clockwise around the circle, visualizing a
white or violet light following your path. Say these words or
something similar: We cast this circle to allow only the most perfect energies
for this work, and block out all other energies. On the final round of casting the circle, bring your arms above your
head and say: We charge this circle to create a space beyond space, a time
beyond time, a temple of perfect love and perfect trust, where the
highest will is sovereign. Sweep your arms below you to complete the circle and say: As above, so below! So mote it be!

Call the Quarters
East
"Spirits of the East, element of air,
Dawning ecstasy pushing and coursing,
Be with me now in the blessings of the
Great Goddess."South
"Spirits of the South, element of fire,
Shadowy fire pit deepening and filling,
Be with me now in the energy of the
Great Goddess."West
"Spirits of the West, element of water,
Billowing rain clouds lowering and craning
Be with me now in the caress of the
Great Goddess.”North
"Spirits of the North, element of earth,
Midnight darkness, pulsing and crushing,
Be with me now in the wisdom of the
Great Goddess."
Invoke the Goddess:
- "Great Goddess, from whom all love flows, help us in our magickal work tonight. Welcome, and blessed be."
Sit in circle and make yourselves comfortable. Play some soft music in the background if you like. Each person should have a bag or piece of cloth to place their items in.
As each item is placed in the cloth, concentrate on its gift, and how you wish to use it. When the bags are filled, close them, or tie them with ribbon, and take a moment of silence to focus your intention and will. Light your purple candles and then say the spell together, repeating it three times.
"Gifts of nature, bring a change
and with it, bring this goal in range
to transform my life into what it should be
to reinvent my personal reality
bring the courage i need to start life anew
transformative gifts, I ask this of you"
Leave the charm bags in front of the candles until they have burned down, then carry the charm with you until the next new moon.
Now is also an excellent time for Cakes and Ale and to have some social time.
