Love is in the air...♥

This weekend will be marked by the celebration of Valentines Day...not particularly something that I celebrate much anymore...having been with my husband for 23 years we don't need a particular day of the year to prove we love each other, you have to make every day special...awwwwww...although we do still exchange Valentine cards.   However...if you want to work some love magic then this is the perfect time to do so, there are a huge number of magical herbs, plants and foods associated with the lurve thang.  These magical ingredients can be worked into love spells of any kind or into your culinary endeavours.

Remember that there are all sorts of different kinds of love from the passionate ooh la la kind through to BFF kinda love and love for yourself then all the other stages/kinds/flavours in between.

I would add a word of caution here...if you intend to ensnare a specific person with a love spell be aware of the 'free will' clause.  Capturing love against someone's free will is unlikely to have a 'happy ever after'.  It's your choice...

If you are looking for love you can work a spell to bring 'your perfect match' to you.  Work love spells to strengthen your marriage/relationship with your partner, add love magic to your Valentine meal (or any meal in fact) to bring in passion or work some love magic to keep a friendship strong or to give you YOU some self esteem.

Candle spells, crystal spells, burning petitions, incense blends, magic powders and medicine pouches all make excellent love workings.  There are plenty of spells in books and on the net but I would encourage you to go with your own intuition, a spell that you create yourself will be much more powerful.  Just be careful how you word it, spells have a habit of going off in unexpected directions
...be prepared.
