The Lovers tarot card, which is the harmonious number 6 in the tarot’s major arcana, often depicts two lovers on either side of a fork in the road. Watching above their diverging paths is Archangel Raphael, a symbol of divine love and emotional healing. At this point of the Fool’s Journey, the recipient of the tarot reading is faced with a choice– to love someone, or to focus their efforts in another direction. While most often interpreted as a sign of romantic love, the lovers on the card are sometimes portrayed as Adam and Eve. This card often represents relationship choices that are highly consequential, and encourages us to consider our endeavors with deep care! This card asks you to consider if the relationships are truly serving their greatest purpose.

In the upright position for a single person, the Lovers card may be inviting you to consider the prospect of love as a possibility for you, and honestly assess what you could gain or lose by stepping into romance. This card is often a sign that personal growth and healing can be achieved through fostering a more intimate connection with another, whether it is a friend or a romantic interest. This is a sign to say “yes” to deepening your connections, and refusing to open your heart could lead you down a less desirable path!

This could also be a sign that you have two options, both of which seem favorable. This is a sign to consider our long-term fulfillment while heading our intuitive feelings. Failing to trust your intuition at this time can lead to unforeseen obstacles down the road, even if you are unsure of why in the present moment.

The Lovers card is also associated with the mutable sign of Gemini, which is known for being flirty, chatty, optimistic, wavering, and indecisive. You are being asked to commit to one path at this time, and communicate clearly with your spirit guides and those you love about your actions and intentions. This is not the best time to avoid or put off important issues, especially if they are important to your partner. If you have the options of two lovers, you are being asked to pick one without cloudiness or deceit.

The most common depiction of the Lovers tarot card. The Lovers are often depicted as Adam and Eve, and are guided by Archangel Raphael.

In the reversed position, the Lovers card may be a sign that your love life will be redirected in order to stay on a path more aligned with your greater purpose or different blessings you are meant to receive. It could also be a sign that you have chosen a romantic situation that looks ideal on paper, but could distract you from your goals or end up having negative consequences in your life. Additionally, we may be asked to walk away from someone less ideal to make room for more positive or fulfilling partnerships. This may also be a sign that while a choice is apparent to you, you could be more successful on your own than in a partnership. This can also apply to business partnerships or even roommate proposals, though these types of business partners usually work rather closely.

Either way, when we are seeking relationship advice from the tarot, the Lovers is a sign to pay close attention to how your personal connections are affecting you in both the short and long-term. It also reminds us that our relationships should be symbiotic and inspire gratitude for the universal beauty in one another. Ask yourself if your close friends and partner(s) are supportive of your goals– not only by their ideals, but by their actions!

This card also speaks of self-love. When we have unity and harmony within the self, we can create healthier relationship dynamics and feel confident in these “either or” choices. A healthy relationship with the self ensures that you will make the best decision in this situation, regardless of this card’s position. This card often predicts that through being intentional about your heart healing and practicing self-compassion, you have developed a stronger relationship to your higher self and have grown in self-awareness.

Without self-awareness, we may feel uncomfortable taking a chance on love. However, knowing oneself deeply and loving oneself makes it possible to be interdependent with others while still having confidence in our ability to meet our own needs should the Wheel of Fortune turn out of our favor in love. Though trust takes vulnerability, self-assurance and inner peace make the risk of love a calculated and informed one. If you’re considering opening your heart to another, ask yourself what you will need to take this risk with full faith– not in your partner, but in yourself, your spiritual practice, and the inner wealth of magick you have to overcome any sticky situation.

If you have recently pulled the Lovers card in any position, here are several affirmations you may find useful during this time:

• I give love unconditionally and indiscriminately.

• I am opening my eyes to the love that surrounds me.

• I am receptive to the kindness of others.

• I am deserving of help, affection, and support.

• I am constantly blessed with opportunities to see the good in others.

• My intuition should be honored in all my decisions. Although the reason may be obscured to my conscious awareness, it will be revealed at the perfect time.

• Loving my flaws allows me to have deeper empathy for others.

• By the grace of the universe, we are all given opportunities to express love. I will take one today.

• I am responsible for my happiness and achievements.

• True bondedness is the anecdote to neediness.

• I surrender to the flow of partnership, which wanes and waxes.

• I am receptive to the discernment of the cosmos and the Divine.

• Every experience is an opportunity to deepen my relationship with myself and my guides.

• With intention, prayer, magick, and divine support, I have nothing to fear.

• The love meant for me will always find me.

• Healing myself heals others.

• We are all connected.

How To Work With The Lovers To Draw Your Soul Mate

Whenever you receive the Lovers card, you are being called to explore what it is you want in a relationship. What are the qualities that you truly want in a partner? What qualities do you want to exhibit yourself? How do these things coincide or conflict? 

Though simply put, these questions are rarely easy to answer! Luckily, these magickal activity tutorials can help you increase your self-awareness and self-love, magnetize romance toward you, and help you receive clarity about your past, present, or future circumstances.

Casting A ‘Tarot Spell’ For Love (Your Free Love Spell)

Because the Lovers asks us to think critically about what we need in our relationships, this tarot card can promote healing and romance when used in magick. You may choose to meditate on this card before performing a free love spell, include it as an ingredient in a love bottle or pouch, or carry it in your pocket or purse to encourage Divinely guided encounters and decisions. 

Because the card represents crossroads in which love is a key element of an important choice, you may sleep with the Lovers under your pillow to encourage visions that will inform you on these decisions and show you ways to increase love in all areas of your life. You may also call upon Archangel Raphael to assist you in your heart healing, using the Lovers as a petition paper, and writing a prayer to him on the back of it.

To protect your relationship, you may anoint the card in a protective sigil using a shielding oil such as frankincense, patchouli or cedarwood. You may encourage receptivity to love in yourself and others by doing the same with a prosperity sigil using an oil such as jasmine, lavender, or neroli.

Pro tip: use dried herbs in your spells in order to grind them in your mortar and pestle and to prevent molding!

When considering your spell ingredients, here are some of my favorite herbs and oils!

Whether you are single, in love, growing in your self-love, or ending a connection, think carefully about how you give and receive love, and reflect on the impact those habits have on your wellbeing. When you see this card, your eyes and heart will be opened to the universal love that surrounds you in all its infinite forms!

How To Practice Self Love Daily

While every person deserves to prioritize their self-care, there are quite a few reasons self-care is vital for witches. Firstly, witchy self-care can increase your magickal power. When you take care of your physical and spiritual bodies, you will have the ethereal energy to cultivate and utilize your magick to its fullest potential!

Secondly, witchcraft calls on you to work with many different energies. It is crucial that you practice good spiritual hygiene by cleansing yourself of external energies and keeping your vibration pure. When you don’t, it can cause you to feel lethargic, exhausted, or even depressed. You can cleanse your sacred space easily by using incense or sage in your home and at your altar when you clean. Just make sure your windows are open for the energy to leave through. You can cleanse your body by taking salt baths, eating citrus fruits, and using essential oils such as tea tree, rosemary, or lemon. Be sure that any essential oils applied to the skin are diluted with a carrier oil! You can use olive oil, grapeseed oil, almond oil and so on.

Additionally, it is vital for you to practice self-care and self-love by enforcing boundaries with others, yourself, and the spiritual energies you work with. Boundaries in your physical relationships are just as depleting to your personal power as energetic boundaries with the spirit world are.

For example, if you tend to make decisions that please others at the cost of your own happiness, you may betray yourself and give more of your effort to others than you are capable of. This can leave you too tired to perform magick and protect yourself properly while doing so. On the flipside, you may keep strong walls up, never allowing others to help, love, or nurture you. It is important for witches to be receptive to support, from our loved ones and from the Divine. Support helps us to enact our will and receive blessings and our manifestations.

One intentional moment of self love each day can be transformative. What will you do to care for yourself toda

In order to ensure that you have time and space to practice self-care, it is important to assess the amount of time you spend on yourself, your responsibilities, and the needs or desires of others. Answer the following journal prompts in order to analyze your relationship to boundaries:

How can I help myself more?
In what areas do I wish to receive help more often?
In what ways can I afford to give help?

Set boundaries with your own mind. Replace negative self-talk and limiting beliefs with gratitude and loving affirmations. This is key to spiritual success. If you struggle with negative thoughts, you make a self-loving commitment to yourself to speak at least one positive affirmation daily. Seek support via therapy or from your loved ones. Practicing shadow work in order to heal.

Finally, you must also enforce boundaries with the spiritual realm, especially if you are performing healing or divination work. When practicing divination, I draw an “X” over my third eye to signify to Spirit that I am finished channeling. Closing your channels will ensure that you aren’t continually receiving messages, which can be exhausting.

Boost your psychic protection by wearing crystals that transmute negative energies into positive ones and fortify your energetic forcefield. Wonderful crystals for protection are hematite, amber, black obsidian, and black tourmaline. Some crystals known for invoking Divine protection are pink tourmaline, aquamarine, and turquoise. If you work with certain deities, research crystals associated with them to invoke their protection. Be sure to cleanse your crystals in salt or incense smoke and charge them often by the sun or moon!

[Insert Tourmaline.jpg with caption: Black Tourmaline is a powerful crystal that acts as a psychic forcefield for spiritual protection.]

How To Tailor Magickal Self Love Practice To Meet Your Needs

As you set boundaries and dedicate yourself to your self-care routines, make a list of practices that are practical for you. As you consider the following suggestions, ask yourself which practices are most accessible and suitable for your needs. In other words, which practices can you realistically see yourself attempting?

Self-massage: This act of self-love is a wonderful way to wind-down at night. Use lavender or jasmine essential oils and massage your shoulders, hands, and feet to help you relax and grow your compassion. You may also massage yourself with crystals to add extra pressure and imbue your massage with metaphysical properties. Ruby and garnet are known to stimulate blood circulation and bring passion and joy to your life. Jasper increases your courage and motivation. Rose quartz increases your self-love, while Lapis Lazuli can help you gain greater mastery of your mind.

Kitchen Witchcraft: Eating is non-negotiable for your well being. Simply add intention to your cooking to make this a magickal act. Show yourself care by using food to nourish yourself and meet both your magickal and physical needs. Make a list of these needs and note the ingredients associated with them. Here are some ideas to start with:

• chocolate and cocoa powder for love and compassion
• honey for kindness and sweetness
• lettuce for relaxing
• root vegetables for grounding

Cooking with magickal intention can nourish the soul with self caring.

Sound Healing: From your favorite music, to singing bowls, to binaural beats – there are endless ways to show yourself some love through sound. Certain frequencies provide various healing benefits such as chakra unblocking and aligning, deeper sleep, heart awakening, and heightened intuition! For example, music tuned to 444 Hz is known to provide angelic healing. Schumann resonances, or peaks in the low frequency portions of Earth’s electromagnetic field, are a 7.83 Hz frequency that provides healing and serenity through the Earth’s heartbeat. Playing binaural beats and sound bath playlists while you are sleeping or working is a great way to care for yourself and calm your mind without adding an extra task to your schedule.

Subliminal Affirmations: Listening to subliminal affirmations while you work, meditate, or sleep feeds your subconscious with positive, high-vibration thoughts. Choose affirmations you would like to align with in your waking life. The power of positivity is vital for feeling, behaving, and showing up as your best self. Though sometimes the stressors of life can make this difficult. Subliminal affirmations give you the extra boost of positivity your brain needs to recover and bounce back from a tough day, especially if you struggle with negative thoughts. This can passively reshape the language your brain is comfortable with hearing and using in your waking life.

Wash it Off: An easy way to feel lighter at the end of a tough day or week is to cleanse yourself with salt and essential oils such as tea tree, lavender, and chamomile. When you do, use the power of intention to visualize all your worries and burdens being washed down the drain. This is a great way to add a refreshing boost of self-love to your shower routine. Plus it clears your energy field for more powerful magick!

Use the frequencies of sound to fortify your self love spells and daily rituals!

My favorite thing about these activities is that none of them take a lot of time, so they aren’t an added burden to an already busy schedule. When we are not feeling our best, self-care can sometimes feel like another chore. When you are feeling absolutely fatigued or struggling with chronic depression, release expectations of yourself. When you need time to overcome fatigue or depression, worrying about what you think you should be doing can prevent self-care from actually being restful.

It’s also important to note that productivity can sometimes be a form of self-care, though these things are often talked about as separate entities. If you are struggling with perfectionism, procrastination, or work anxiety, you may benefit from productive self-care by scratching things off your to-do list. One quick way to do this is by cleaning your room and taking your work tasks one step at a time. Unburdening yourself in this way is absolutely a form of showing up for yourself and taking care of your inner child so your needs may be met.

Ensure that you strike a proper balance between productivity and leisure by having firm boundaries with your work schedule, and say no to tasks that you may be unable to handle effectively. While not every human is given the luxury of turning down work, each human is inherently worthy of self-love and leisure time. If you may, advocate for this right by modeling self-love, setting standards of self-care and boundaries in your workplace, and being an example for others! When you take time to rest and recharge, you are claiming that your spirit deserves time to be nurtured, just as everyone’s spirit does!

Rebecca Phoenix’s How To Practice Self Love Witchcraft Tips for Enchanting Your Beauty Routine

These magickal self love tips from Rebecca Phoenix will allow you to enchant your beauty routine and fortify your hair, skin, and nails for an inner and outer glow.

Did you know that you can give yourself magickal self care just by adding some intentional and magickal elements to your daily skin, hair and teeth routine? Integrating magick into tasks and routines that we already do daily, is a great way to magickally take care of ourselves.

STEP 1: Before washing your face, or applying skin care, or make-up, enchant each item. You can do this by blowing magick into each item before you apply it. Set your intention, and use your imagination to see your breath as a glowing light. Imagine your beauty products glowing with magickal energy, and feel that magickal energy infuse into your skin, giving you an inner and outer glow!

STEP 2: In many cultures it is believed that our hair is an extension of our nervous system. That, like an antenna, it helps us receive Divine messages and sense our surroundings. In this way, your hair acts as a shield, an alarm system, and a conduit between you and the Divine. While you brush or comb your hair, imagine strength and courage being infused throughout the strands. Set an intention to receive messages from the Divine, through your hair.

STEP 3: As magickal practitioners, many of us have had to hide who we truly are. To keep ourselves safe we have had to keep our truth to ourselves, making our words not quite sincere. This can lead to a lack of true self-expression and self-love. Set an intention that while you floss your teeth, you are flossing out these insincerities and any words or expressions that are not in alignment with your highest truth. As you brush your teeth, set the intention that you are brushing in your truest expression, setting your mouth and your voice free, expressing whatever is in your highest good and your highest truth.

Closing the Self Love Circle

Just as you must take physical care of your bodies, magickal self-care can fortify your spiritual health and enhance your power. Even in a busy world, one intentional moment in your day can be reclaimed for self-love. May these tips for self-care inspire your practice and help you thrive on your magickal path!

Maybe it’s all the trees wrapped in lights, and the images of snow falling softly, but this time of year just looks enchanting, and our hearts can’t help but warm in the soft winter glow.

By performing love spells, divination practices for love, or rituals to help you to clear the way for love, magick can supercharge your love life, in so many wonderful ways!

Boost the energy of love spells with a warm beverage

Your Perfect Match

There are so many ways that magick can help you to attract a wonderful partner into your life. Whether you are looking to find your soul mate, a kindred spirit, a business partner or your perfect match, love magick can help to clear the way, and usher love and partnership into your life.

Love spells are especially powerful Magickal ways to bring in romantic partnership, because romance opens our hearts and gets us in touch with our emotions unlike anything else.

When we are in touch with our emotions, the energy of our emotions gives us huge leverage to work our magick with. Also, we tend to desire love more than most other partnerships, and strong desire is what creates the catalyst that causes us to focus on attracting love into our lives.

Once we are clear that we want a romantic partner in our lives, now we can use magick to welcome and attract love in!

Clearing The Way For Love Before Casting A Wiccan Love Spell

Before you do any spell or ritual to attract romantic love into your life, it is important that you first remove any blockages you have to love.

Love can be a scary thing, as it requires us to be vulnerable to possible hurt and rejection. When we fear the experience of love, we often sabotage any real chance of receiving it, in order to protect ourselves from experiencing pain.

All love requires an open heart, and although it is natural to take things slow and to be sure your heart is safe before falling in love, it is unnatural to prevent love from entering your life. We are born to love, and if I know anything for sure, it is that there is someone out there for everyone. There really is.

Love spell success check: Is your heart open and ready to receive love?

True love is an experience you are born to have, but before you can manifest love into your life, it is important to clear any past pain or energetic residue that may be unconsciously keeping love at a distance from you.

There are many Magickal ways to help clear and remove blockages to love, so your spells will be able to attract and cultivate the love you desire. Here are a few of my favorite ways:

Clearing A Path For Love Spells #1: Cut the chords.

Cut any left over energy chords to past relationships that you may still have. If someone hurt you, or if you were in a codependent energy dynamic with an ex, your energy may be unconsciously still tied to theirs.

When you cut the chords to your past, you help to heal your energy, and begin anew. To do this, close your eyes and in a visualization, energetically cut the cord to any past relationships you wish to move on from.

Visualize cutting the energy cord that extends from your solar plexus and connects you to the other person. If you can, imagine parting from this person in love and forgiveness. Feel the relief and the freedom of no longer being energetically tied to this person.

Clearing A Path For Love Spells #2: Fine wholeness and happiness within.

It does way more harm than good to get into a relationship when you are in a state of empty desperation, as you will only attract someone who reflects your own feelings of emptiness back at you.

When you focus more of your attention on what brings you inner fulfillment and happiness, your energy becomes radiant and you actually become a magnet to love!

Cultivate inner happiness by:

• Keeping a gratitude journal, and writing out 5 things you are truly grateful for every day.
• Meditating once a day for a few minutes to get grounded, peaceful and centered within.
• Turn your attention and focus to people who bring you joy, things that are joyous to do, and films and images that bring you joy. Turn off negative programming or social media, and be selective about who you give your attention and energy to.
• Find the things that light you up in life, and do as many of those things as possible, every day. By making your own joy and fulfillment your top priority, you swing open the doors to love.

Clearing A Path For Love Spells #3: Increase your self esteem and worth.

Ritual to Boost Self Esteem

What you will need:

• A mirror
• A red or pink candle

Steps:

STEP 1: Dim the lights slightly.

STEP 2: Light your candle and place it beside your mirror. Feel your candle flame connecting to the energy of love within your own heart and all around you.

STEP 3: Call on a Spirit Guide, Goddess or deity of choice to help you by saying something like:

“With this ritual I open my heart, and ask you to help me to fall deeply and passionately in love with myself and all of my life. I thank you in advance for your help and your guidance. I am ready to love and to be loved fully. Blessed be.”

STEP 4: Gaze into your own eyes in the mirror. Say to your own eyes:

“I deeply love and adore you, (say your name).”

Repeat this saying over and over again, until you begin to believe it. It will feel strange at first, but it will help you to regain the self love and confidence you were born with.

STEP 5: After you have said this for about five minutes, and feel ready to move onto the next step, say…

“I am beautiful and everybody loves me.”

Repeat this affirmation as you gaze into your eyes. Affirm this until you begin to believe it.

STEP 6: After you are done, blow out your candle and thank your Spirit Guide for help and continuing guidance as you allow your self love to grow exponentially in the days and weeks to follow!

Cultivate Romantic Energy

Once you have cleared your blockages to love, now it is time to cultivate romantic energy! When you increase the energy of romance in your life pre-relationship, you supercharge your love spells and rituals, and help to bring in the romantic partner you seek much faster.

When you radiate the energy of romance and self love, you become magnetic to love. That is why it is so important, (and so much fun!), to increase the energy of romance in every aspect of your life. Whether you want a relationship or already have one, the essence and energy of romance is a delicious force to cultivate in life.

Romantic energy is not just an energy reserved for couples. Romantic energy is the energy you feel when you allow your body and soul to be truly overtaken by beauty and pleasure. Romance is the energy you experience when looking at a gorgeous sunset, savoring a bite of delicious chocolate, reading moving poetry, or dancing to your favorite music. Romantic energy makes you fall in love not only with others, but with life itself. Romantic energy is pleasure, and pleasure lights up our spirit like nothing else!

One way to increase romantic energy is to experience the simple pleasures of life as much as possible. Increase your experience of pleasure by enjoying delicious food, taking a long walk under a full moon, smelling all the roses, and curling up in a soft chair with a great book and a fireplace.

One of my favorite rituals to increase romance in my life, is to do this hot cocoa love spell for romance! Check out my video, and follow along to brew your own cup of magickal hot cocoa for love!

Another way to increase romantic energy is to increase your passion for life. When you are laughing, painting, singing, dancing, eating food you love, or creating something inspired, you evoke the energy of passion within you. When you are in your body, and experiencing your aliveness, you invite pleasure, joy and passion into your life.

When you fall in love with yourself and your life, honor your own worth and express your vibrancy, you radiate with romantic energy. Your radiance draws romance and love to you like a magnet!

Love Magick Ritual Bath

One of my favorite ways to increase romantic energy is to take a romantic ritual bath. Try this bath ritual when you want to increase your vibrancy and feel more magnetic and attractive in love.

Ingredients you will need:

• 1 red or pink candle
• Pink or red rose petals
• 1 rose quartz crystal
• Bubble bath or bath oil
• 1 smudge stick
• 1 abalone shell or fireproof container to catch ashes from your smudge stick
• A lighter or matches

Ritual Steps

STEP 1: Purify the energy of your bathroom by smudging rosemary, palo santo sage. Light your smudge stick, place it in an abalone shell or fireproof container to catch the ashes, and waft the smoke around the room. This will cleanse your bathroom’s energy and prepare your ritual.

STEP 2: Light your candle and place it in a safe place in your bathroom.

STEP 3: Place your rose quartz on the side of your bathtub, to amplify the energy or romance.

STEP 4: Fill your bath with water, as you do imagine your own energy of self love filling up within you.

STEP 5: Add your bubble bath or bath oil to the running water.

STEP 6: When your bath is full, turn off the water and add your rose petals to the bath water.

STEP 7: Get in the bath. Feel the decadent joy of the bubbles on your skin and relax as you take in the sensual fragrances and beauty of the roses.

STEP 8: During your bath, visualize yourself having more confidence and self love than you ever have before. Imagine yourself vibrant and free-spirited, passionate and sensual. Imagine yourself in a loving relationship, or having many loving relationships! Place your rose quartz crystal over your heart and feel your heart opening to all kinds of new and exciting possibilities. Imagine yourself attracting more love than ever before into your life.

STEP 9: Soak for 20 minutes or so.

STEP 10: After you’ve finished your bath, place your rose quartz crystal on your nightstand or on your alter.

STEP 11: After your bath, take out your rose petals, and give them back to the earth by sprinkling them onto the dirt. As you do feel how you have planted the seeds of romance into your life, and that love is on it’s way and will fully bloom for you in perfect timing!

Boost Love Energy for spells with a Magickal Love Bath

Manifest Love

Once you have cleared any blockages you have to love, and cultivated your own self love and romantic energy, you are ready to work your magick and welcome love into your life!

A wonderful way to use Magick to manifest love is to create your own love altar. The very act of making your love altar supercharges your intention to bring in true love, and also increases the energy of romance within you and around you. Your altar also serves as a sacred place to perform additional love spells or rituals. A love altar focuses your intention to welcome love into your heart, and anchors the energy of love into your home. It is a truly sacred and wonderful way to bring more love into all areas of your life.

Create Your Own Love Spell Altar

There are no rules for creating your love spell altar, only guidelines, so feel free to get as creative as you would like. The more unique to you and your own intention your love altar is, the more powerful it will be!

An altar is simply a small, sacred space filled with any number of items that hold meaning and spiritual significance to you. For a love altar, the theme is all about romance, the heart, emotions, beauty and your romantic dream. There are a variety of items you can place on your love alter, but the most important thing is that your love altar is a physical reflection of the energy of love that you wish to bring into your life.

There are no set number of items that need to be on your love altar, it is entirely up to you. Your love altar can have two items, or thirty items, the only thing that matters is how your altar makes you feel when you look at it.

Give it a try, and remember to get creative and make it your own!

Items You Might Use:

• A red or pink candle
• A Beautiful plate, tray, or cloth
• A picture, image or a statue of a couple in love
• A statue or picture of a love Goddess, such as Aphrodite or Aine
• Any love charm, or heart shaped trinkets you may have
• Rose quartz crystal
• Dried rose petals
• Fresh flowers or petals
• Sea shells, or other natural items that represent romance to you
• Inspirational quotes, cards or poems about love
• Petition or affirmation of the love you intend to manifest

Steps to create your altar for love spells:

STEP 1: Smudge all of your items for your altar with rosemary, palo santo or sage smoke. This will clear the items of any negative energy. Also smudge the space where the altar will be set up.

STEP 2: Set a cloth, plate, or tray down in the location you would like to build your love altar. I recommend putting your love altar in your bedroom to bring in more romantic love.

STEP 3: Decorate your altar any way you wish! You might place an image of a couple in love in the center, or perhaps a red or pink candle.

STEP 4: Fill the cloth or tray in with your other items; rose quartz crystal, heart shaped trinkets, love charms, shells, dried rose buds, flowers, or anything you have gathered that holds special meaning to you.

STEP 5: Light your candle and gaze at your finished altar. Say…

“I open my heart to receive my true love. I am ready and worthy of being loved fully, deeply and authentically for all that I am. I am ready to love with all of my heart. True love now manifests for me in perfect timing. So mote it be!”

Your altar is now charged and will do the work to magnetize love to you. Every time you look at it, be reminded that your perfect match is on their way, and in perfect timing!

Increase Your Love Magick Energy

Now that you have a love altar, you have a sacred space to perform other love spells, rituals and crafts that help to magnetize love to you. Try any of the following magickal practices to amplify your love energy:

Love Spell Booster #1: Craft a Love Sachet

To do this, simply gather a few items that hold romantic meaning to you. Perhaps you have a small love letter, or a trinket, or a symbol of some sort. Place them into a small sachet, pouch or muslin cloth. Place love herbs, such as rose and cinnamon into the pouch, as well. Tie the top of the bag closed. Light a candle and focus your energetic intent for romance onto the bag. Further imbue your bag with energy by holding it in your hands and saying out loud, “I am safe to let love in. I am ready and worthy to have my true love. My soul mate and I are now brought together by pure magick! So mote it be!” Your sachet is now fully activated! Sleep with your love sachet under your pillow, place it next to your bed, or place it on your love altar.

Place your love sachet on your love altar for increased romantic energy

Love Spell Booster #2: Create a Love Charm

It is so simple to create a highly energized and potent love charm! You really don’t need anything fancy to cast your love charm spell, just your emotions and your clear intentions alone will transform the energy of any object into a powerful love charm. To do this, simply find a small trinket that has romantic meaning to you. Light a candle, and hold the trinket in your hand. Focus your energy and your intention for love onto the charm to magickally infuse and charge it with love. The most important quality to have when you are creating a charm is to infuse your charm with EMOTION. As witches, our emotions are the most powerful tool we have. Our emotions are pure, potent energy. When we infuse our emotions into the charm, we influence and change the energetic makeup of the charm. The object becomes infused with our intentions for romantic love, and so attracts and magnetizes more love to us, as we wear or use the charm. The charm also works as a visual reminder of the love that is coming your way. Keep your love charm on your love altar, or wear it as a necklace, to magnetize your love energy!

Love Spell Booster #3: Make your own Rose Water

A wonderful way to increase your love energy is to create your own rose water. Roses are the most powerful flower to use for attracting love into your life. Rose water can be used in multiple love spells, and is a wonderful addition to love potions. I also recommend sprinkling rose water around your home—and on your skin daily—to really enhance your love vibe! The rose scent is so lovely and romantic, and the energetic vibration of the water and the roses is so high and so pure. It really works to increase your love energy and draw even more love to you and your home.

How Make Your Own Rose Water For  Love Spells

Ingredients you need:

• Dried rose petals
• Saucepan with lid
• Strainer
• A Bottle

The Steps:

STEP 1: Measure 1/4 cup of dried rose petals into your saucepan.

STEP 2: Pour ½ cup water into your saucepan.

STEP 3: Cover and bring to a boil.

STEP 4: Reduce temperature to the lowest setting that still allows the water to simmer.

STEP 5: Simmer until the color of the rose petals has faded. Mine became almost colorless. This only took about 5-10 minutes.

STEP 6: Leave the lid on and cool completely.

STEP 7: Pour water and petals through a strainer, to remove the petals from the water.

STEP 8: Use a funnel if you have one, and pour your rose water into a clean bottle.

STEP 9: Keep your rose water bottle on your love altar. Use your rose water for love spells and rituals. Generously sprinkle your fragrant rose water around your home and on your skin!

Spice Up Your Love Life

If you are already in a relationship, use love magick to enhance the romance, connection and passion between you and your partner. Try any of the following simple techniques to increase the love between you and your partner.

Strengthening Love Ritual #1: Ties that bind.

With your partner, pick two flowers with strong but pliable stems. Be sure to ask permission from the flowers before you pick them.

Take one flower each, and hold it against your hearts. Imbue each flower with your intention for love and your relationship.

Then, tie the stems of the two flowers together, symbolizing the bond between you both. Place the tied flowers on your altar, or in your bedroom to remind you of your love.

Strengthening Love Ritual #2: Deeply rooted love.

To increase feelings of love between you and your partner, try this simple technique.

Gather a potted plant or flower, along with a photo of you and your partner together when you were deeply in love. Wrap the photo in aluminum foil to keep it safe. Next, take a piece of paper and draw a heart on it. Write both of your names inside the heart.

You can also add an affirmation, such as “we are so happy and so deeply in love.” Then, lift the potted plant from the planter, and place your photo, along with your paper at the bottom of the pot. This is optional, but if you have one, place a small rose quartz crystal next to your photo, to further amplify your love energy.

Place the plant back into the pot, covering the photo and paper with it’s soil. Place the plant in your bedroom and water it as needed. The plant and your partnership is now infused with magickal intention to nourish the love between you. Every time you see the plant, let it remind you of your flourishing love.

Strengthening Love Ritual #3: Spice things up.

To bring the “spice” back into your relationship try this simple tip. Gather a red candle, some olive oil, and some cayenne pepper.

Rub olive oil on your candle and then sprinkle cayenne pepper onto the oil coated candle. By doing this you “dress” your candle in the energy of passion.

Place the candle in your bedroom and light it for a few minutes every night for a week. As you light it, welcome in the energy of passion and spicy romance by imagining how you would feel if your relationship were passionate again. Doing this practice will shift the energy within your partnership and imbue your bedroom and your romance with passion!

She loves me, she loves me not?

It is an important rule in witchcraft to never cast a spell to force someone to do something that is not of their own free will. I know from personal experience, it is really hard, if not impossible, to do a love spell when you are already in love with someone. You simply can’t help but imagine the person you love, and wish that they would love you in return!

As hard as it is, it is very important that you keep a completely open heart and mind when doing a love spell or ritual to manifest love.

This is because the Universe knows the very best match- your soul mate match- and oftentimes, it isn’t the person whom you are pining over! It might be, but you will never know unless you remain completely open to the magick of the Universe to bring you your perfect match.

While it isn’t advised to do a love spell to influence a particular person to love you, you can still use magick to find out if their love is reciprocal!

Work your magick by using divination to find out if the one you love might feel the same about you. Try any of the following simple techniques for love divination:

Love Magick Technique #1: Draw a card.

Do a divination reading using tarot cards. Do a three card spread to find out more about how the person may feel about you, and if you are both a good match. For the first card ask, “what should I know about this person?”

For the second card ask, “How does this person feel about me?” For the third card ask, “What would you have me know about the possibility of a romance with this person?” Interpret the cards using your intuition and their meanings.

What do you feel when you read the cards, and what are the images on the cards saying? Are you receiving any gut feelings from the imagery of the cards?

Read the meanings of each card. Do the cards suggest a potential romance, and do they hint that this person has feelings for you in return? Do the cards suggest this is a kindred spirit, or that this person might not be your best match? Remain open and trust your intuition.

Is love in the cards for you both?

Love Magick Technique #2: Pair of acorns.

Take two acorns and remove their caps. Take both of the caps and name one for you and one for your crush. Place the acorn caps in a bowl of water. If the acorn that is your crush begins to move closer to yours, take it as a sign that they may like you! If both acorns move close together, it is a sign there is a strong romantic connection between you both!

Love Magick Technique #3: Scrying for love.

Try the divination practice of scrying to access intuitive information about the person you love. Simply fill a bowl with water, dim the lights and light a candle. Place the candle near the bowl of water, so that the light flickers on the water’s surface. Slow your breathing and calm your mind. Stare into your bowl of water and let your mind “space out”, as if you were staring into a crystal ball. As the question “How does this person feel about me?”. Ask “Is this person a potential soulmate?” Trust whatever images or gut feelings come to you. Ask any further questions about this person you wish to know. Let your intuition lead the way and remain open to guidance.

Healing Your Heart

There is no pain quite as deep as breaking up with someone you truly loved. We have all been there, often many times, and the experience never seems to get easier. Breaking up is just the worst. We not only lose that special person, we lose the dream of our future with that person, and it is so very heartbreaking.

The truth is, after the heartache, there is always new love, even another soulmate, who may be just around the corner!

You are so worthy of love, and the faster you can heal and let go of your breakup pain, the quicker you can welcome in a new and better love match. If you are experiencing lingering romantic feelings, resentments or hurt from a past relationship, it is important that you fully heal and let go, in order to allow new love in.

Try the following spell to release your past partner, and welcome in a new and improved romantic relationship!

The Magickal Power of Love

Love is the most important thing in the Universe. Love is, quite simply, the only thing that is truly real in all of the Universe. Nothing is as important as love, and nothing is as transformative as love. Love is all that has ever truly mattered, and all that will ever matter, at the end of the day. Love is eternal, and it lasts forever, in all of it’s glorious forms and expressions.

Magick is a remarkable tool that can help to remove any blockages we have to experiencing the love that we are born to let in. We are all creatures who are made to love each other, and to be loved in return. Magick helps to magnetize love to us and through us, so that we more fully radiate the love that so naturally wants to shine through us. Love is your natural state of being, and you deserve to experience it in all of it’s bliss and beauty! May you be loved fully, and completely for exactly who you are!

I hope you have enjoyed learning all about the beautiful practice of Love Magick, and I hope this holiday season finds you sprinkled in enchanting light and adorned in blessed love!

Until we meet again, I’m sending you all of my love, and so many blessings!
