awaken love in a special person.
The meaning of these cards and this layout is fairly obvious: your SIGNIFICATOR and the SIGNIFICATOR
of your object of desire are brought together as lovers.
(See Choosing a Significator)
As accessories for this spell, obtain thirteen red candles;
Do not light them until instructed.
Also, if you can obtain a photo or any personal belongings,
or anything which has made contact with the person you are infatuated with, include these to lend focus to the spell.
If you wish to use other accessories, include additional candles, flowers, gemstones, and cloth to lay the cards upon,
in shades of red, the color of human love, or white,
representing pure psychic energy.
Perform 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 your loved one's SIGNIFICATOR in place. If you have a photo or something that belongs to or has touched that person, take it up at this time and warm it in your hands. Say that person's name aloud three times, and try to hold his or her image in your mind for the space of nine heartbeats.
Next, set your SIGNIFICATOR in place, leaving a space so that you will have room to set the next card bewteen the two.
(NOTE: if possible, try to have the two SIGNIFICATOR cards facing each other. This means that it may be necessary to have your SIGNIFICATOR card on the right, and the other
SIGNIFICATOR card on the left.) For a few moments,
concentrate on your own desire for the other person.
Finally, set THE LOVERS in place. Spend some time daydreaming about the sort of romantic adventures you would like to share the special person you have in mind.
When your visualizations are complete, use the thirteen candles 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
"With these cards and with this spell,
these images take on life
and give life to my desires.
I call for (name of beloved), and (name) comes to me,
guided by the light of my flames.
Whether it be from near
or from far,
(Name) is drawn to me.
I give love to (name),
I receive love from (name).
Our love is passionate,
Our love is intense as flame.
Our love is long and lasting.
As I desire, so do we 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 close the spell with the Closing Rite for All Tarot Spells
