Here are some very simple rituals, some old, and some new that
might help you achieve your romantic intentions. •A bouquet of
roses set in the southwestern corner of your bedroom is thought
to attract love. •To prevent a lover from straying, light a
green candle to St. Martha and ask her to keep him faithful to
you. •To find out if your lover will stay with you, cut an apple
in half and offer him or her the other half. If he or she
accepts the apple, he or she will be with you a long time. •Feed
your lover a fig, with your initials carved lightly into it, to
keep him or her faithful. •Select the following cards from a
Tarot Deck – The King of Cups, the Queen of Cups, the Ace of
Cups and the Lovers. Fan these cards around a pink candle and
light it. Keep these cards spread out in this configuration for
a period of seven days. This is an affirmation of your romantic
intention to find or keep a lover or soulmate. •Procure a lock
of your lover’s hair and twist it with a lock of your own in a
clockwise direction nine times. Tie both ends with red thread
and place in a safe place, such as a locket. Carry this in your
pocket. •To have him or her think or dream of you more often,
anoint the corners of a photograph with orange and rose oil and
place the photograph under your pillow. •To attract a new lover,
light a red candle to St. Barbara and ask her to make you
attractive to your soulmate. •To keep you on your lover’s mind,
do this after each time you part ways. Strike a match on the
heel of your shoe and say “Be True.” •To bless your marriage and
keep him faithful, serve him cooked cabbage on the new moon of
every month. •Burn a pink candle, carved with both of your
initials inside of your heart, along with the planetary symbol
of Venus, to draw your lover to you. •Serving your spouse
rhubarb pie on a full moon will keep him faithful. •To ensure
that a relationship will last, fill a glass with water. Let him
or her take a sip of it and then take a sip of it yourself. Then
purposefully drop it so that it breaks. Collect the shards and
bury it in the backyard. •Carry a rose quartz as a love talisman
to draw love to you. •To arouse lust in a partner, scratch his
or her name into the side of a red candle, anoint it lightly
with olive oil and light it. •To find out how many more months a
troubled relationship has left, cook some kidney beans. Place
what you think is an equal amount of beans on your plate and
then on his. Count the beans on each plate. The difference in
the number of beans you have on each plate tells how many months
you have left to work things out. •Wear copper jewelery, the
favorite metal of Venus, to encourage loving vibrations around
you. •To have him or her think of nobody but you, take two
separate photographs, one of you and one of him and sandwich
them with faces against each other. Bind this together with pink
and red ribbon and keep in a safe, secret place. •To keep a man
faithful, anoint his photograph with oil that has been soaked
for three days in rosemary leaves. Rosemary assures the
dominance of the female in the relationship. •To encourage a
proposal serve your lover a bowl filled with seven strawberries
covered with cream.
