| Perform this spell if you have been yearning for a great love to enter your life. This spell calls upon arcane forces to bring the ideal man or woman to you. The first card in this layout is THE STAR, showing powerful, unseen and fateful forces opening channels to bring your ideal lover to you. The KNIGHT OF CUPS represents a person who brings love into your life, who involves you in an affair - the proverbial "knight in shining armor." According to some Tarot experts, the knight can represent either a female or a male. However, if you're calling for an ideal woman and are uncomfortable with the KNIGHT, then substitute THE HIGH PRIESTESS, THE EMPRESS, or one of the QUEENS. In fact, if you have a strong idea of what you want your ideal man or woman to be, put any card you feel best represents your ideal mate. (See, choosing a Significator.) THE LOVERS here uses its literal meaning. As accessories for this spell, obtain thirteen red candles (do not light these candles until instructed to, later in the spell.) If you wish to use other accessories, include additional candles, flowers. crystals and gemstones, and cloth to lay the cards upon, in shades of red, the color of human love, or white representing pure psychic energy. Preform this spell at night before going to bed. To work this spell, you may use the Opening Rite for All Tarot Spells, improvise a ritual of your own, or just proceed by laying out the cards and doing the following meditation, visualization, and affirmation. Meditation and Visualization When ready, lay out the cards according to the diagram. First, set The STAR in place. After you have done so, spread out your arms and say: "I call upon all good spirits! I call upon all karmic forces! I call upon the wide-ruling powers! Make smooth the way, that my love may be brought to me!" Think about your desire to enlist occult forces in helping you to find a true love, a soul mate. Next, lay down THE KNIGHT OF CUPS (or whichever card you have choosen). Think about what you want in the ideal man or woman. Finally, set THE LOVERS in place. Spend some time daydreaming about the sort of romantic adventures you would like to have. When your visualizations are complete, take the thirteen candles, and use them to make a circle around your card layout. Light each candle, and then, with as much feeling as you can, recite the following affirmation. Affirmation "I call for love, and love comes to me guided by the light of my flames. Whether it be from near or from far, My love is drawn to me. I give love, Ireceive love. Our love is passionate, our love is intense as flame. Our love is long and lasting. As I desire, so I have love, and so shall it be!" You may close the spell at this point by putting out the candles and putting away the cards, or you may use the Closing Rite for ALL Tarot Spells . |
