I've never done a love spell for myself. I am happily attached with my soulmate ... we found each other with no real spell intervention. We were meant to be together, and it happened. I didn't do it by brewing something in my cauldron.
People are so often so desperate for love and affection, especially the attention of someone specific. Let me share a little witchy secret with you - love spells, especially those cast on a specific person - can be dangerous. As a teacher, I share love spells with my students, but I warn them about the karmic reprocussions they can reap.
1. To bring love to your door, have a pot of lavendar by your doorstep if you want to attract the love of a man, mint of you want to attract the love of a woman. A rose bush if you're not picky either way.
2. Please, for the love of the Goddess, don't place a love spell on a specific person. If it's not meant to be, it can backfire in your face. Love spells can bring love to you. Not dictate the detsiny of someone else. In doing that, you mess up your own karma.
3. For a simple love spell, gather a pink stone. Put it in a red pouch and tie a red string around the top of the pouch, chanting "love be mine" nine times with each of the nine knots you must place around it. Put it under your pillow and sleep with it underneath until love has found you.
4. You can reverse love, too. If you have unwanted affections, write the person's name on a piece of paper and stuff it in an apple core, along with a bit of dragon's blood. Toss it into a body of MOVING water, or bury it at a crossroad.
