Chapter 1: Introduction
Synopsis Love is undoubtedly one of the best feelings that a person can ever experience in his or her life. This strong emotion can uplift a tired soul, and give joy and hope even to those who are already starting to lose faith in themselves. It is that wonderful feeling that puts you in Cloud 9 and makes you want to start dreaming of things, like forever and happy ever after. Love is that thing that you read in fairy tales and wish that it will also happen in your own life. It is about finding your Prince Charming or Miss Right and spending the whole eternity with that one person who has touched your heart. Love is the very thing that makes the world go round and makes the whole ride a lot more fun and enjoyable. And for some, love is simply that magical feeling that takes you to an entirely different realm where only you and your special someone exists. Unfortunately, not all of us have been lucky enough as far as love is concerned, and this is the very reason why love spells exist.

Love Spells – An Overview Love spells are actually the magical formulas that have been specially designed in order to find, draw, bind, attract, or even induce love. These spells are entirely different from sex magic, or spelled as “magick.� The love spells in particular are aimed to procuring or producing love, while sex magic, on the other hand, makes use of sexual emotions and love at times in order to bring about that desired results that can or cannot be associated to love in any way. For instance, Tantric magick aims to accomplish the union with a god and is related to the enlightenment state. Meanwhile, love spells are more concerned in making a person fall in or out of love with another person. Sorts of Love Spells There are actually no sorts of love spells. Just like the usual spells, the love spells can also range from those simple incantations up to the complicated magical rituals. Love spells can range from something like a prayer to that heartfelt wish. Also, love spells can be talismans, amulets, sigils, voodoo dolls, mojos, fetishes, wangas, powders, potions, and philters. In fact, love spells can take just about any form that you can think of.
Purpose of Love Spells You can use love spells for different purposes, such as: -6-
Finding and attracting love. Binding lovers. Enhancing and stimulating love. Maximizing sex appeal. Beautifying the caster in order to attract love. Divining the whereabouts or presence of love. Whether you want to find your true love or you want to make sure that your present love will last for a whole lifetime, love spells are the best things that can help you achieve just that.

Chapter 2: The History Of Love Spells
Synopsis Love spells and their origin cannot be easily traced to a particular place or culture because it has been in existence throughout the numerous centuries in all corners of the world. This is the very reason why pinpointing the history of love spells has been quite a difficult task to accomplish.
-8-
The History But if you will take a closer look, you will discover that almost all cultures can find their own unique traces of spell casting in their past. So far, love spells take on two forms. The first one was based on the Curses that attempt to control the will of the Target in order to fulfill the Caster’s desire or the person who is asking for the Caster’s assistance. On the other hand, the second form is much closer to those that are extensively practiced today that make use of Rituals and Spells for drawing one person’s love to another. The Greeks gave prayers and offerings to Goddess Aphrodite, hoping that they will gain her favor about their love affairs. Just like the rest of the cultures, there were those who have called out to those in the realms of magic in their desire to get the love that they want. If the Greeks had Aphrodite, the Egyptians had their Magick practitioners and priests who channeled the gods’ will and provided with the people with the help they needs as far as love is concerned. Just like majority of the cultures, offerings and prayers were also given to the gods so that they will give their favors to the requests of the person who asked for assistance. Meanwhile, the Druids carried out Magick with the use of special rituals that use various kinds of herbs as well as other materials that come from the earth.
-9-
They believed that this natural materials are sacred, each of which has its own special power. Most of these materials have been utilized in secret for bringing lovers together, while some were preserved to be used for the special ceremonies during marriage. Without a doubt, love spells boast of a rich history that has transcended boundaries, with every culture and place having its own set of stories and beliefs as far as love spells are concerned. There is also no denying that love holds such an incredible and strong power over the people, and the love spells happen to be the most usual spells asked and performed in order to get the love that they have been dreaming of. Whatever history these love spells might have, nothing will change the fact that love is the very reason why you often hear stories, poems, songs, memoirs as well as confessions. After all, love is the very feeling that keeps the humanity humane.

Chapter 3: Understanding Hellenistic Spells
Synopsis Different spells of compulsion and erotic attraction have been traced back to as far as the Hellenistic Greece and their syncretic magic tradition that made use of Hebraic and Egyptian elements. These have all been documented in different texts including the Greek Magical Papyri. These have also been archaeologically traced on the amulets as well as other artifacts that dated back to the 2nd century BC or at times earlier up to the later part of the 3rd century AD. The magical practices have then continued influencing the Gaul’s private ritual among those in Roman Britain, the Germanic and the Celtic people. The erotic magic then reflected the gender roles in the ancient Greece, dismissing the modern misconceptions regarding sexuality and gender roles.
- 11 -
Hellenistic Spells A classics professor in University of Chicago, Christopher Faraone who specializes in practices and texts that pertain to magic, has classified the Eros magic as the one practiced by the males, and Philia magic in the case of the females. This two kinds of spells can be directly associated to the women and men’s gender roles in the Ancient Greece. The Philia spells have been used by the women since they depend on their husbands. Back then, women have no power which is why they used all means available for ensuring that their husbands will stay around, especially with the men having more freedom of leaving behind their wives every time they want to. A lot of women have used the Philia spells for maintaining their beauty and keeping the much needed peace of mind. Women used Philia magic for keeping their male companion faithful and at bay. The fundamental beliefs regarding sexual attitudes among the Greeks have been dismissed by the discoveries in Philia love potions, rituals and spells. These spells have not been utilized for the sake of attaining sexual pleasure but instead, they served as kind of medicine or therapy. Commonly, the Philia spells have been used by the women in their attempts of preserving their youth and beauty, something that will induce faithfulness in their partner. A lot of Ancient Greek women used the love spells as a kind of therapy. Whether the spells worked or not, these helped in making

the ladies feel much more comfortable with the situation that they are in, giving them the feeling of being in control of the things that are happening around them. On the other hand, the Eros spells have been primarily used by the males and even prostitutes, serving entirely different functions in the Ancient Greece. The Eros spells have been used for instilling passion and lust in women, which will make them fulfill the sexual needs of that man who has invoked the spell. With no freedom, the women then only hoped that their situation will be better, which explains why they have been into producing spells. Conversely, men had all the freedom of doing the things they want to do. The prostitutes, on another note, led lives that were actually almost the same to the men than that of the women. These prostitutes were free as far as finances are concerned, and they can choose where they want to live, without being expected to serve only a single man and home. Only the prostitutes were the women who have been known for using the Eros magic for fulfilling their sexual desires.

Chapter 4: Love Spells In The Renaissance
Synopsis In the later part of the medieval period, around 14th-17th century, marriage has been established as the central institution for the lives of the people. It is during this time when the use of the love spells has taken a different turn. While sexual intercourse was the immediate desire, this has then been commonly practiced in the attempt of creating a permanent union, which is none other than marriage.
- 14 -
In The Renaissance With magic being expensive, not to mention that the caster can also experience from severe damage, it was no longer taken that lightly during this period. Simply put, in the period of Renaissance, spells have not been casted on just about anyone but only on the unions which already held a more special importance. Gentlemen and ladies of favor and status were the ones who are usually the targets of these love spells. The restrictions on their social or economic classes are the common hindrance to a marriage, but with the help of love spells, these barriers can be easily broken down, which will lead to a advancement in their social status. Even though the spells were meant to stay in secret, this has been rarely done successfully. But once the victim noticed that he or she is under a spell, being magic believers themselves, they will then take on a different behavior that will then add to the effectiveness of the spell. In a way, it has become a means of communicating a person’s desire that is important in the concept of love spells as this gives timid persons the courage to approach those who seem unapproachable.
- 15 -
With the Renaissance being widely dominated by the Catholicism and Christianity in Europe, Christian elements have also seeped their way to these magic rituals. It has become common for written spell scrolls and clay dolls to be hidden in the churches’ altar or with the holy candles being lit during the rituals. Sometimes, the Catholic Mass’ Host will be taken and used during the rituals for the desired results to be achieved. In the simplest sense, love spells during the Renaissance period is a rich combination of paganism and Christianity.

Chapter 5: Casting A Love Spell
Synopsis “Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.” – Thomas Merton Today, not only the young girls who are interested on casting a love spell on the boy of their dreams because almost everyone, from men to the divorced ladies, also wants to try it for themselves. While a lot of psychics and casters persuade people that there is no way for you to cast a love spell all on your own, this is not entirely true. In fact, there are only a few basic rules that you need to keep in mind if you have plans of casting a love spell in the hopes of changing the course of your love life.
- 17 -
Casting
Believe in what you are going to do. Before you perform the ritual, pray to Saint Nicholas, the Miracle Worker. Never try casting a love spell only because you are curious. This should be done only when you truly need it. When you cast a love spell, you should focus on the results and purpose. Remove your shoes, cross, and avoid makeup when you cast a love spell. Make sure that no one is going to bother you when you cast the love spell. Cast it exactly just how it must be cast. Take extra care and be accurate when you mix components, say the spell, etc. Never cast a love spell when you have your menstrual cycle. When you call up spirits, ensure that all the windows and doors in the room are tightly closed. The perfect time to cast a love spell is during sunset. Never tell anyone regarding the casting of love spell.
- 18 -
Create a protection for breaking the spell, like “tongue in teeth,” “lock in the sea,” or “key in the ground.” Among the primary secrets to have a successful casting of love spell is visualizing the ritual words’ images. It is important for you to understand every phrase in the spell, all of them having a meaning for you. Visualize the things that you will say. It is also important that you stay as relaxed as possible when you cast a love spell. Never put a rein on your feelings. It will even be better if you are more emotional. Never restrain your passion and love as this will help the spell to make your wish come true much faster. There is also a belief that love spells tend to be most effective when they will be cast during new moon and waxing. It is not advisable to cast your spell during waning of the moon as your wish will be confronted by the nature’s energy, preventing it from coming true. For the spell to be stronger, visualize thin strings of energy that comes out of your belly button that enter the belly button of your love spell’s object than will then root themselves into your beloved’s soul. This can help in establishing a connection much easier, ensuring the faster effect of the ritual. Once you have completed the love spell, ask the Universe not to cause any harm on your beloved.

Perfect Partner Candle Spell Nothing is even more romantic that casting a love spell using candles.

When casting this spell, stay away from focusing on a single person or mentioning any name. The supplies that you will need include: One white candle One candle of your favorite color Candle holders for every candle Pink chalk Red or pink cloth If your house does not have an altar space, you have to look for and set up a clear space since several days will be needed for the spell to take effect.

Then, get the colored candle and think of the qualities that you like to bring into this brand new relationship, with this second candle representing yourself. Spread the pink cloth then settle the two candles in their respective candles on the two sides of the cloth, with a 2-ft distance. Between the candles and on the center of the pink cloth, - 21 -
use the pink chalk for drawing a big heart. Each evening, focus on the two candles while concentrating on your dream relationship. Move the two candles a bit closer together. This should be done every evening until the two candles are already within the heart’s center. The number of days that it will take will depend on the spacing that you will use although this needs to last for a minimum of one week. Once the two candles are already side by side inside the heart, draw another heart around the first one that ask Aphrodite or any of your chosen love goddesses to grant your request before finally lighting the two candles. Light them every evening and allow them to burn until both candles are gone. Remain patient since this love spell might only work after some time.

The moment you met your new partner, throw or burn the envelope but never open it.

Synopsis Different kinds of love spells also need different materials for casting the spell. Listed below are some of the objects that are commonly used for casting love spells. Remember that the things you will need for performing a ritual will vary based on the kind of spell that needs to be cast. There is no need for you to prepare all these tools as this list can change depending on your needed love spell.

Aside from these materials, it is also important to be in the right state of mind, ambience and environment for the spell to really work.

The perfect time to cast love spells is at night, preferably between midnight and 1 in the morning. A dark spot or dark room is also a crucial requirement when you perform love spells.
- 26 -
Chapter 8: Love Spells In Folk Tales
Synopsis Love has always been the favorite theme in almost all stories that you have probably heard of in your entire lifetime. And when there is love, chances are there will also be love spells. Even the oldest of the folk tales ever heard probably have a touch of the magic of love spells in them.
- 27 -
Stories For example, in the story of Snow White, her stepmother, the Evil Queen, becomes a sorceress using the magic mirror that allows her to not just see all but also to transform into a hag to disguise herself as a beggar. While she succeeded in poisoning Snow White with the apple, the kiss of true love has successful broken the spell, giving Snow White a chance to recover and live happy ever after with her Prince Charming. There is also the curse cast by the evil Fairy Witch, putting Sleeping Beauty to her long time rest. The spell of death has been cast on the child right from her birth. But the Good Fairy was able to lessen the spell’s effect by intercepting it with another spell. This is why Sleeping Beauty has only been cured to sleeping for a long time until the spell is finally broken by the kiss of true love. However, Prince Charming is not always playing the role of a hero in these folk tales because there are also times when he played the victim. There are many tales where witches have turned a handsome prince into a frog or other types of beast, doomed to scour the kingdom to find a maiden that will break the curse with true love’s kiss. Folk tales from different parts of the world have their own exceptional versions of love spells and how these were used for changing the fate of two or more people. But at the end of the day, it goes without saying that more than the love spell, it is true love that has freed the souls of those characters who have been cursed by the witches and evil fairies.. - 28 -
Chapter 9: Variations Per Region
Synopsis Love spells are meant to offer a magical solution to different tribulations and troubles related to love. As you have probably learned by now, there are different types of love spells ranging from innocuous and simple ones up to those which call for the use of elaborate magical spells, rituals, and charms. You can find love spells for regaining a partner, for stopping your partner from straying, for rejuvenating a stale and dull love life, for increasing the magnetism of love, for getting the person of your dreams, and many others.
- 29 -
Variations
In general, love spells can vary according to the region’s traditions and cultures. The Wiccan love spells are entirely different from the voodoo love spells. Even though the love spells’ actual authenticity is still subject for debate, caution needs to be practiced if you have plans of using a spell to solve your love issues. Aside from the fact that it is ethically inappropriate to try and control a person’s free will using paranormal methods, a magical spell, if used in a negative way, can backfire and affect the person who has cast the spell. Several methods can be used for binding the spell in order for the generated energy to be used on the particular purpose. But, you have to know that lots of efforts are needed if you will try to control a certain person for a long period of time. There are instances when the accumulated negative energy caused by the magic leads to a bad effect on the one who cast the spell. From black magic spells, white magic spells, witchcraft, pagan magic, candle or herbal magic, occult magic that evokes spirits, use of amulets, talismans, charms, stones, potions and many others, the magical and paranormal realm has opened up to offer both defensive and offensive magic love spells, reversal spells, and a whole lot more.
- 30 -
The magical love spells are the energy being directed through the props or symbols in order to create the desired change or attain a particular end. The experts in spells believe that all things in this world have their own dynamic energy. With the use of different psychological tools, these can help in generating more energy that will then be directed into changing a certain event’s natural course. Symbols such as metals, plants, planetary combination, objects, musical notes and others are not really agents but instead, these only help in invoking particular thoughts and representing certain ideas. Casting love spells calls for mental power as well as psychological tools of visualization, projection and concentration that can only be developed with practice. The spells can help identify, highlight, address and even discard a person’s ulterior fears and complexes. This will then allow him or her to communicate better with one’s inner self.

Conclusion What The Critics And Proponents Have To Say As far as the belief in the modern day love spells and magic is concerned, there are two opposing camps – the critics and the proponents. The critics never believe in hocus pocus and the practices of the contemporary witches and pagans. On the other hand, the witches and pagans readily accept magic in the same way that we openly accept the never ceasing increase in gas prices every month. Spells not just for love but also for luck, success and many others that can be of great help are still being carried out by the witches, with most of them identifying themselves as white witches whose spells are completely harmless. The love spells are the most popular of all spells and these also happen to be the ones easier to cast. You can choose to do it on your own even though you are a beginner or you can also pay a professional that can do the spell casting for you. But do the spells for love really work or as these merely mumbo-jumbo as the critics claim? In case you are now searching for love and you need an extra assistance in this particular department, it will be best for you to learn what both the proponents and critics of love spells have to say before getting your candles and chalk. The Critics: Love Spells Do Not Work
- 32 -
The critics primarily base their beliefs on the fact that even practitioners of magic and witches themselves agree that spells are not always that effective. There are instances when these do not work just how you want them to, with belief being one of the key reasons why it happens. Do you actually believe in magic? For things to work, belief is extremely important. If you think that you are not good with golf, chances are you will end up playing a lousy game. If you think that you cannot finish your project at work, it is likely that it is really going to happen. The same principle goes for love spells. Concentration, motivation, energy and timing all play a crucial role in the success of a certain spell. When these elements are not present, there is very little possibility that you will get what you want. It is also important that you keep on the positive side when you cast a spell because if your feelings are all negative and the only purpose that you have is to cause pain or hurt on another person, the spell that you will cast might not just fail but worse, it can also backfire to you. The Proponents: Love Spells Do Work Magic practitioners and believers swear that if properly done with the use of positive energy, love spells can really work. When the caster or witch has adequate energy, there is a good motivation and the moon is in its right phase, then, your spell has higher chances of becoming successful. One important thing that can help your love spell is by listing down the qualities that you are looking for in a person. You need not name
- 33 -
names, only give the details together with the possible likes and dislikes and pros and cons. It will help in narrowing down the spell’s focus, allowing the energy to look for that one person that will perfectly match the things that you are searching for. If you happen to be skeptical about magic and you are searching for love and are willing to try it out, you have to remember some important things. First of all, never forget that love is something that comes naturally. All of us, at one point in our lives, will find our true love. However, before it happens, you need to learn loving yourself first because if you do not, this will create a negative energy that will disrupt whatever it is that you want to accomplish. According to the proponents, love spells will only work for the ones who are really determined to find their true love. Getting results will never happen if you are simply messing around. However, when you are sincere and you really want it to happen while casting the spell, your wishes are likely to come true. The last but not the least, you have to be prepared for love. It only goes to say that you cannot expect the spell to do all the work – you need to do your own assignment as well. Take care of yourself. Pamper yourself and make sure that you look and smell good all the time. Finding your soulmate requires you to do yourself a big favor by getting yourself together. This way, you are guaranteed that the love spell will work easier and more effectively.
