Valentine Love Spell

 

It all starts with two red candles and a small piece of chocolate.

Light the candles and eat the chocolate just before reciting this verse:

Candles glow and love

grow,

Fill my heart with sacred

play.

Love be near and love be

clear,

Open hearts so they can

hear.

Expressions of love, joy

and trust,

Not confused by want

and lust,

Magnify my love to see,

The heart whose love is

meant for me.

Love;s great beauty,

Love's great truth

Is in my heart and spirit

too.

Open my heart to the

one for me;

Open my eyes so I can

see.

If another heart yet

waits for me,

Reveal my soul mate,

wher'er they may be.

Make me wise to love as

you.

Reveal my soul mate,

loving and true.

Fill my true love's mind

with thoughts of me.

Happy, caring, loving,

and free.

Keep me happy, cheerful,

and true,

Patiently awaiting my

lover new.

True love will come when

time is right,

May it be this very

night.

If time be right, and I

be prepared,

Speed my love's journey

with no time spared.

So Mote It Be!

The Ethics Of Love Spells

By Rhowan

Sigh....this phrase will raise many a hair on us Witches. Too many people today seem to think that there is a "quick fix" for every situation life throws us. Truth is, there isn't. Not even for a Witch. Just as there are rules to live by in everyday life, there are rules to live by in spellcasting. Placing a love spell on another person, is morally wrong, and a Witch willnot aid anyone in doing so. Why is it so wrong?? Well, it infringes upon anothers' right tofree will. (This is the part where I picture a bunch of stupified love struck zombies roaming around...... ..not a pretty picture). See, love comes from within, and when another is forced to feel such an emotion, you are basically getting a shell of that person... the love given to the love spellcaster, is empty, and void of the REAL emotion that WOULD be felt, if the love were given freely, and not by force.

It has been my experience, that the majority of those who request a love spell, are feeling insecure, or have a low self-esteem. We all go through these feelings at some time in our lives. But, snagging the most popular guy or gal in school, for example, won't help these feelings go away, many times they only amplify these negative feelings. (Imagine this person doesn't call on time....how would that make an already insecure person feel??)

So, giving a love spell to someone is also ethically wrong for the Witch, since, he or she isn't helping the seeker, but could, in fact, be harming the seeker!

Remember, Witches also have a code of rules that they follow. Wiccan Witches follow the Rede...which says, "An' it harm none, do as thou wilt". Many NON Wiccan Witches also follow a set of rules, that basically say the same thing Whatever the tradition a Witch is part of....a Witch harms no one. Including, him or herself. Handing out a spell can, and does affect the Witch. It's called, Karma.....or, "whatever goes around, comes around".

A Witch doesn't take this lightly, and spells aren't used as a means to get what we want, whenever we want it. Love is a very precious gift, and should a Witch help another to steal away that gift, you can bet that he or she will feel Karmas' repercussions. Imagine, for a moment, that a seeker of a love spell, is given that love spell. They use it to force anothers' will, thereby, stealing away the persons gift of love....only to cause harm, not only to the caster....but to the intended receiver of their gift! And, what if, amidst all the torn off paper of the gift, the caster fails to see a third person.....their own bearer of a gift....their one TRUE love?? Suddenly, not one person is affected by this spell......but at least FIVE people have been affected!! The caster of the spell, the castee of the spell the intended of the castee, the intended of the caster, and......the Witch.

(That's ALOT of harm done!)

Now, with all that negative stuff said about Love Spells.....there IS a way that a Love spell CAN be cast, without harming anyone, and without involving bad Karma. It is simple, really.

Cast a love spell on YOURSELF.... .not on another person! Loving yourself, ultimately works to allow others to feel love for you! It may not invite love from any one person...but, may allow you to pick and choose the one that IS right for you. Life is funny like that, once we are able to really love ourselves, and feel good about who we are, people tend to flock in our direction. Our inner beauty shines through like a welcoming beacon.....and, believe me, people respond!! And, you know what else? You'll be able to sleep good at night, knowing that you ARE loved, and that once you find your
true love, it is REAL. It won't be a spell they love, you won't have a shell" of a person....and you will know that you haven't committed the spiritual equivalent of rape, and invited bad Karma to rear it's ugly head at you!

As I said earlier, spells are not a "quick fix"....and, a love spell for yourself, isn't an easy thing to do...it takes patience, practice, and perseverance to overcome the negative baggage we all carry with us. But, give yourself time, and it CAN be overcome. With that said, I have included with this article, a sample of a spell that anyone can do. It's more of a ritual than a spell because it takes more than one time to do it, and it takes a dedication to yourself.
