Are they right for me? divination

TOOLS Carving tool | 1 red or pink candle | Fireproof container or plate | Lighter or matches

INGREDIENTS 1 fresh rose

This spell is an adaptation of the traditional folk practice of picking the petals from a flower, saying or singing “They love me, they love me not.” It can help in determining if your love interest is the right person for you.

Carve the name of your love interest into the candle. Stick the candle to the plate or container. Pick the rose petals, placing them in a love heart shape around the candle, while speaking the words:

Are they right for me, are they not?

Light your candle and focus on the flame. Try to identify any symbols or shapes. If the candle flame goes out by itself, it is a definite “no.” If the flame is steady and tall, the answer is “yes.” If the flame flickers or is struggling to maintain height, it may indicate possible issues in the relationship. Once the candle has fully burned, look for any shapes in the candle wax that may indicate your answer.

Enchanted necklace

TOOLS Necklace

This enchanted necklace spell is inspired by a folktale of a magickal seductive necklace. Wear the necklace when you wish to be especially alluring, on dates, or simply when you go out and wish to make a romantic connection.

Start by rubbing your hands together until they are warm and tingly. Now take your necklace between your hands as if in prayer. Start raising energy by focusing on your heartbeat and breathing; you can hum or flex your hands, too. Feel the necklace warming up with your energy and say the words:

I bless and consecrate this necklace, may you be enchanted for the purpose of calling romantic love to me, may I be especially alluring and charming when wearing, so mote it be.

To activate the spell, simply wear the necklace.

BEST TIME New Moon or Full Moon

Lover come to me candle

TOOLS Mortar and pestle | Fireproof plate | 1 red or pink chime candle (can also be a human figure candle) | Lighter or matches | Spoon | Wet-wipes (this spell gets sticky)

INGREDIENTS 1 tsp coffee | 1 tsp dried red rose petals | 1 tsp dried honeysuckle | Maple syrup (enough to coat your candle)

This spell is intended to bring a romantic relationship into your life. Although you can personalize this so it is specific to a certain person, be mindful of possible outcomes.

Start by casting a circle and grounding and centering, and cleansing your altar space and the tools. Grind together the coffee, the rose petals, and the honeysuckle in a clockwise motion until they are a fine powder. Then set up the plate on your altar. Using the maple syrup, create a spiral going down the candle. Use the spoon to cover the candle in the ground herbs—they should stick to the syrup-covered candle easily. Now stick the candle to the plate and wipe your hands. Light your candle and say the words:

As I light this candle, I open myself to divine, healthy, romantic love, filled with happiness and support. May this candle be a beacon in the dark to the person that is right for me, so we may find each other quickly. So mote it be.

Visualize romantic love coming to you while the candle is burning out. Then open the circle, collect the remaining wax, and bury it.
