Love Candle Spell

This spell is for a general welcoming of love into your life. Substitute with whatever color candle you want to use for a specific type of love.

Ingredients

1 pink unscented candle

toothpick

rose oil or favorite love synergy blend

The pink candle for this spell represents love, friendship, and romance. Rose oil is ideal because of its love-drawing qualities. By anointing your candle with its oil, you will attract love. For best results, begin your spell on a Monday during the waxing to full moon.

• Hold the candle and charge. Visualize in your mind accepting and allowing love to enter your life in any and all forms. Be open and receptive to all kinds of love that will come to enrich your life. See your heart become complete through the new love you will allow in.

• 2. Use your toothpick to carve a heart in your candle in a complete fluid motion. Connect both ends to create a complete heart, unbroken.

• Anoint your candle with the rose oil, starting with the completed heart.

• Recite the following incantation for the goddess to come to your aid in your request to allow new love into your life. (You may want to refer to the god and goddess appendix to expand upon or change the incantation to suit your needs.)

  “Moon goddess, I call to thee.

  Send down your light for guidance to me.

  Let me be a part of your enveloping light,

  Allowing my love to come into my life.”

• Light and burn the candle down completely. Should you not have enough time in one session, snuff out your candle to keep the energies intact. Whenever you relight, simply restate the previous incantation and steps.
