       Sowing Seeds of New Love in Your Life

      Nature is the ultimate creator. At a nearby gardening or hardware store, get an assortment of seed packets to plant newness into your life. If your thumb is not the greenest, try nasturtiums, which are extremely hardy, grow quickly, and will spread to beautify any area. They also reseed themselves, which is a lovely bonus. Light the following candles, charging them with appropriate gems and stones:

      •Green candle with peridot or jade for creativity, prosperity, and growth

      •Orange candle with jasper or onyx for clear thinking and highest consciousness

      •Blue candle with turquoise or celestite for serenity, kindness, and a happy heart

      •White candle with quartz or limestone for purification and safety

      Put the seeds under the soil with your fingers and tamp them down gently with your wand, the branch, which you should also stick in the ground at this time. Water your new moon garden, and affirmative change will begin in your life that very day. Get ready for the exquisiteness of new love. Ahhhhh!

       Manifesting Magic Box: Sweet Herbs of Love

      The sweet scent of petals and herbs can bring love when you cast this spell. Try to perform this spell during a full moon.

      •A small lidded box

      •1 rose quartz crystal

      •½ cup fresh red and pink rose petals

      •1 whole vanilla bean, chopped

      •⅓ cup dried woolly thyme

      •A pinch of ground cinnamon

      •Piece of white paper and a pen

      Mix the flowers and herbs together and fill the bottom half of the box with the mixture. Then write five qualities you want in a new lover on the piece of paper. They should be a mix of personality traits along with physical characteristics. For example, I did this in a few years ago and wrote that I wanted a love with long black hair. Sure enough, I met a handsome man with beautiful, waist-length black hair. This manifesting magic works! Fold the paper at least once so it will fit into the box. Fill the rest of the box up with the herbs. Nestle the crystal in the herbs right at the top, then close the lid. Each night, open the box up and take a sniff to remind you of your search for true love.

       Heartstrings: Bind Your Love to You

      On a small piece of paper, write the name of your would-be love in red ink and roll up the scroll. Anoint the paper with rose or amber essential oil. Tie the scroll with red threads, incanting one line of the following spell per knot:

      •

      One to seek my love,

      one to find my love,

      one to bring my love,

      one to bind my love,

      forever bound together as one, so mote it be.

      This charm is done.

      •

      Keep the love scroll under a candleholder with red candles at the north corner of your altar until your will is done. Make sure of your desire; this spell is lasting.

       Brew of the Beloved

      Here’s a quick recipe to create exactly the right mood for a romantic evening.

      Stir together in a clockwise motion:

      •1 ounce dried hibiscus flowers

      •1 ounce dried and pulverized rose hips

      •½ ounce dried lemon balm

      •½ ounce dried mint (ideally peppermint)

      •½ ounce meadowsweet

      Store this herbal concoction in a dark, lidded jar or tin. (It will keep for one year, after which you can recycle the herbs as a blessing for the hearth fire.)

      When you are ready to brew the tea, pick your most sacred teapot and pour boiling water over the herbs; use two teaspoons for each cup of water. Say the following spell aloud during the five minutes it takes for the tea to steep, and visualize your heart’s desire:

      •

      Herbal brew of love’s emotion,

      with my wish I fortify.

      When two people share this potion,

      their love shall intensify

      as in the Olde Garden of Love.

      •

      Sweeten to taste with honey and share this luscious libation with the one you love.

       Dreams of Devotion: Pillow Talk

      To secure lasting love from a nascent romance, a love pillow can cast a powerful, binding spell. This spell works best if you use a soft, homemade pillow.

      On a Friday, take two yards of pink satin fabric and stuff it with softest goose down and the dried petals of a red rose you’ve
