Dream partner spell

TOOLS Several pieces of paper | Pen (preferably red ink) | Cauldron | Lighter or matches | Your favorite lipstick or lip balm

INGREDIENTS 1 tsp dried red or pink rose petals or dried rose buds | ½ tsp cinnamon | 1 bay leaf

This is a powerful yet simple love spell to manifest your dream partner. It is important to be very specific in this spell, as otherwise you might be sent a stray cat! Don’t worry about “having high expectations” or being “too demanding”—you deserve someone who makes you truly happy.

For this spell it’s a good idea to cast a circle of protection. Cleanse yourself, your space, your tools and ingredients, and ground and center yourself. Now take your pen and paper and write a list of what you seek in a partner. Describe them in great detail and while doing so, try to visualize all these details—making the image in your mind come to life. Once your list is complete, fold it three times toward yourself, rotating the paper clockwise to bring the energy you are creating toward you.

Apply the lip balm or lipstick onto your lips and kiss the folded paper. Toss it into your cauldron. Now add the dried flowers, cinnamon, and the bay leaf to the cauldron and burn them. While the flames carry your wishes onto the winds and out into the world, visualize your own happiness and love that you will experience in this relationship. Speak the words:

May the fire set my wishes free, to bring forth divine love to me, so mote it be.

Then open your circle, collect the ashes, and go out into nature. Face the direction of fire (see Elements and cardinal directions) and blow the ashes to the wind. Speak the words:

May the wind set my wishes free, to bring forth divine love to me, so mote it be.

BEST TIME Waxing Moon, Fridays around the spring equinox (though can be performed any time of the year)
