Tools:

• 1 rose-colored candle

• Ylang-ylang, rose, or jasmine essential oil

• List of qualities you seek in a partner

When:

• The first Friday after the new moon

This is your chance to put the love list you compiled earlier to work, magically. On the first Friday after the new moon, dress your candle with essential oil. Pour a little oil in your palm, and then rub it over the entire candle (except the wick). Set your list on your altar or other surface, and set the candle on it. Light the candle.

As the scent of the heated oil is released into the air, vividly imagine your lover. Feel this person's presence there in the room with you. How does this person look, act, speak, and dress? Imbue your vision with as much detail as possible. What type of work does he or she do? What are his or her passions? Continue the visualization for as long as you like, making your mental images as rich as possible.

When you've spent as much time as you feel is necessary, snuff out the candle's flame. Repeat this spell two more times before the full moon. On the night of the full moon, release your wish by allowing the candle to finish burning down completely. Express thanks for the love you are about to receive.
