The Charm Bracelet

He won’t call you

Sure, the wisdom is that when a guy doesn’t call within the next day or two, he’ll never call. Beat the odds! Bear in mind that this curse has to be laid over the course of a month and can hardly produce immediate results. But it will teach you patience!

You need:

• Three lengths of twine, each about 3 feet long

• A red candle

• A match

Braid the first third of the three strands of twine together in front of the lit candle on the night of the new moon. As you start and as you finish, say: “As these knots I do entwine, let his heart be linked with mine.” Extinguish the candle, knot your cord loosely into a circle, and sleep with it under your pillow until the middle of the month.

At mid-month, light the candle again and braid the next third, repeating the incantation as you start and as you finish. Extinguish the candle. Again tie the cord loosely into a circle, and replace it under your pillow.

Repeat the process the final time on the night of the full moon.

Sleep with the finished circle under your pillow. When he calls, remove it, burn it, and scatter the ashes outside.
