AN ALTAR LOVE SPELL
Venus, cast your light on me,
A Goddess for today I'll be.
A lover, strong and brave and true
I seek as a reflection of you.
An altar is a place of power - your personal power - where you can make magic. It should be an expression of your deepest self, filled with artifacts that hold personal resonance. Allow your altar to be a work-in-progress that changes with the seasons and reflects your inner cycles.
To create your altar, find a small table and drape it in richly colored, luxurious fabrics - perhaps red satin or a burgundy velvet scarf. Take one red and one pink candle and arrange them around a sweet-smelling incense such as amber, rose or jasmine. Decorate your altar with tokens that represent love to you: a heart-shaped chunk of ruby glass, potpourri made with rose and amethyst, a photo of your lover.
Fridays are the time for spelling love, right before dawn. Before you light your candles, anoint them with oil of jasmine or rose. Scent your wrists, your throat and the skin over your heart with the same oil you used on the candle.
If you desire sexual results, gaze into the flame of the red candle. If your desire is affection of flirtation, look into the pink candle instead. This simple spell, said aloud, will create loving magic:
Venus, cast your light on me,
A Goddess for today I'll be.
A lover, strong and brave and true
I seek as a reflection of you.
