Introduction

Like many of you reading right now, I was once a starry-eyed teenager who skulked around New Age and Occult shops, thumbing through Aleister Crowley books and Llewellyn’s Guides and Buckland’s Modern Witchcraft, looking to uncover the real dirt about how I could enchant that hot guy I had a major crush on.

To my surprise, some of it worked. I went from being a wallflower whose main Friday night occupation was playing text-based fantasy games in chatrooms on AOL (oh, those halcyon days of yore!) to being a hot ticket with multiple boyfriends.

Whether this was due to my magical efforts or to my burgeoning pubescence and growing taste for fishnet stockings worn without my mother’s knowledge, cannot at this date be conclusively determined.

I can tell you this for sure though:

The stuff that didn’t work definitely did not work for lack of me trying! I had a full-blown altar to the Greek love goddess Aphrodite laden with pink candles, peacock feathers, dried rose petals, and Botticelli prints.

I even wore copper bracelets (copper is sacred to Aphrodite) which may have worked to catch the eye of my favorite fellas or may have just stained my arms a yucky shade of green. Hard to tell.

Partly, it’s hard to tell just what good results I got back then came from my occult workings and which came from my fashion choices (probably both, it’s usually always both) because I didn’t keep a detailed Magical Diary back then. I didn’t chart my workings and my results.

Since I’ve matured as a witch, though, I’ve begun keeping a Magical Diary wherein I document my spell-work efforts and the discernable results that they yield, and it’s been most revealing. Over the years, I’ve found that hands-down, the most helpful love and attraction magic that I’ve done has always involved a dynamic interaction of five key elements.

The five key elements that really need to be in place to do love and attraction magic that consistently works:

1) Maintaining an altar that honors not both a deity of love (like Aphrodite –or Red Tara, the Tibetan Buddha of Love and Magic!) and also my very own

ancestors and the local nature spirits.

2) Creating and feeding mojo bags.

3) Continuously getting super-clear about what I want in an intimate relationship and allowing myself to believe that I truly can have it. This is something I like to call “my havingness level with love.”

4) Rigorously practicing loving-kindness meditation and taking all the common-sense practical steps that I can think of to fulfill my aims at the same time that I’m using my magical strategies. I’m after a result, after all.

5) Using a magically-charged essential oil blend every day to massage, perfume, annoint and etherically cleanse my body and to feed my mojo bag. I’m such a nerd about this that I have a very specific favorite brand.

And in the next section, I’ll tell you a lot more about all of these five key elements that I just mentioned:

Create your own love spells that work to attract new lovers, bring back exes, and put new spicy heat into long-term relationships that have cooled off.

So, in order to cast love spells that work, I highly recommend putting all five of the key elements I just mentioned into high gear.

1. If you don’t have one already, get together a home altar.

Your altar is a physical representation of your consciousness, your psyche. So think about it: what do you know you need to have in your consciousness in order to be highly magically effective? Well, generally speaking you need a ton of gratitude and a deep awareness of the things you’re asking for – an awareness so deep that it’s as if you already have them.

For this reason, you want your altar to be spotlessly clean, utterly beautiful, and you want it to be a place where you regularly give offerings (ideally, morning and night!) to all of the entities who are important figures in maintaining and energizing your spiritual and physical existence.

So what kind of entities fit that description? Well, your ancestors do because without them, you wouldn’t exist at all! Also, local nature spirits do, because it’s by their good graces that your shelter stands and your water flows and your air is breathable.

It took me a long time to understand that if I wanted to work practical magic, I needed to work with entities like my ancestors and local spirits instead of just trying to work with deities, gods, and angels.

Deities, gods, and angels are wonderful but they’re more elevated and abstract than ancestors and local nature spirits. They’re more like cosmic principals and less immediately, tangibly accessible.

A truly magical life outlook is an outlook that understands and honors the web of deep interconnection that we exist in. That’s what makes a magical world view different than a “modern” or “materialist” worldview.

The practice of giving offerings at your altar is the way you maintain and affirm your magical mindset of gratitude and interconnection. It’s a way that you create an ongoing, living relationship with the vital spiritual forces that surround you.

It’s actually not all that different from trying to grow your presence on Facebook. If you never post to Facebook and never comment, you probably won’t get much of a response when you wander in every once in awhile. But if you maintain a consistent, active participation you may soon find you have more friends around the globe than you can easily count.

Spiritual forces, like humans, want to be in reciprocal relationships, and when you give offerings you nurture that relationship.

How to give offerings at your altar?

I recommend starting with the very simple practice of invoking your spiritual friends and offering a fresh big bowl of water morning and night to your ancestors, local nature spirits, and chosen deities, gods, and angels. You’ll probably also want to offer candle flame, a little dish of salt, and incense. An altar with offerings of water, candle flame, salt, and incense is an altar that is offering all four of the basic magical elements (water, fire, earth, and air) to your spiritual friends. And they like that, a lot.

2) Create and feed a mojo bag. Mojo bags are traditional magical tools in American HooDoo and Conjure Work. They’re my favorite kind of spell to work for love and attraction magic because they’re so simple, and yet so effective.

All you need to do is take a small drawstring pouch (like the kind you might use for jewelry) and fill it with the various ingredients of your spell (after you pray and annoint and activate each of them). Alternatively, if you don’t have a pouch on hand you can just cut-up an old t-shirt and use needle-and-thread to sew a pouch around your ingredients.

The best time to create a love mojo bag is at about 3 pm on a Friday (Friday

is the day of Venus / Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love) during a time when the moon is waxing (i.e., when it’s growing into a full moon, because that’s the time when magical energies are expanding rather than contracting, and love and attraction is an expansive project).

When I’m creating a love mojo bag, I like to first make offerings to my altar, invoke my spiritual companions, light some Venusian incense and annoint myself with SexyLoveMagic oil (more about that specific oil later).

I then chant and sing and say mantras and prayers as I assemble my ingredients.

Here’s a list of ingredients that went into the powerful little love mojo bag that drew my current boyfriend to me (how do I know it drew him to me? because on our second date we had a conversation and it turned out he had recently done a love mojo bag spell too! he pulled it out of his pocket and showed it to me! – basically our love mojo bags called to one another – so, caveat emptor – your love mojo bag is likely to bring a sexy fellow-magician into your life!):

• fresh Italian basil (sacred to Aphrodite) • a fresh copper penny that had been left to soak overnight in

SexyLoveMagic oil and kissed by a friend for good luck • a lodestone (handily available from many New Age or Occult stores,

and also available online from the Lucky Mojo Curio Company, which I highly recommend)

• a paper scroll petition specifying exactly what I wanted in a man, written in gold ink and covered in astrological and magical symbols that have personal significance to me, also annointed with SexyLoveMagic oil

• a rose quartz crystal

The creation of love mojo bags is a highly personal and creative process that’s also ideally rooted firmly in tradition. This above recipe invokes well-known astrological, planetary, and divine correspondences, spelling out

a deliberate pattern of vibration in order to invoke the magnetic forces of love and attraction in your favor.

There’s a lot of art and beauty and care that goes into a well-crafted mojo bag. I highly suggest that you research the subject in Catherine Yronwode’s exhaustively researched free resource, HooDoo in Theory and Practice.

NOTE: once you’ve created a love mojo bag, it’s important that you keep it on your person at all times. I carry my purse with me everywhere, so I usually tuck a mojo bag into a small compartment of my purse.

SECOND NOTE: once you’ve created a love mojo bag, it’s actually a living spiritual entity and this means you need to “feed it” every day by annointing it with oil (I prefer SexyLoveMagic oil because it’s the greatest all-round love magic-working oil I’ve ever found – more about that in a minute) and giving prayers of gratitude that it’s working for you.

3. Get super-clear about exactly what you want in a relationship and allow yourself to believe that you can have it.

A lot of us think that we know what we want – but do we really? For years I thought I just wanted a good man who could financially support me- and then thanks to the effectiveness of my magic and cleavage-revealing fashion, I found myself in relationships with good men who were financially supportive and so boring I wanted to claw my eyes out.

So then I decided – I want a dare devil, a real live wire, someone who can take me to sexual heights I’ve never felt before! Well, it was with that reckless wish that I met the super-hot and super-wild man who is now my ex-husband. Sigh.

Ah, love. The heart is fickle. Figuring out what we truly want and what

really suits us is a life-long process. Working magic and documenting your results in a Magical Diary is a very vivid and dramatic way of growing to understand that you always get exactly what you truly want and! – wanting is evidence of having.

For example – not long ago, when I did the love mojo bag spell that brought me my current boyfriend, I was sick of polyamorous players, so I specified that I wanted a monogamous, devoted, responsible, spiritual man who would absolutely adore me above all others to the ends of the earth.

Well, my boyfriend is certainly all of those wonderful things – he’s adoring and he’s an introvert who likes me so much more than he likes all other people that getting him to go to a party (you know, a place where there’s lots of people-who-aren’t-me whom he will be expected to talk to) can be like dragging a camel to a bobsled race.

So just try to be as aware as possible of what you want and what you’re asking for. Because if you’re maintaining an altar and if you’re creating and feeding a mojo bag in the proper way that I described, then the spiritual forces around you are inevitably hearing your request and one way or another, you will get it.

4) Do loving-kindness meditation and other common-sense stuff to expand your heart and your attractiveness.

Throughout the years, simple loving-kindness meditation (just sitting down and visualizing yourself and all other people that you know – especially including the people you don’t like or even resent! – being happy and free and full of love) has been the single spiritual practice that brings the most joy and peace into my life.

I’m no giant fan of science – but a lot of folks are – so I’ll just mention that a large array of scientific studies have shown that loving-kindness

meditation, performed regularly over a period of weeks and months, actually changes the relationship between your heart and your brain so that they’re more in synch (in other words, it increases your intuition!), measurably increases the amount of positive, connected emotion that you feel, and changes your hormonal system so that you’re much more full of the feel-good bonding chemical oxytocin (all this is documented extensively in the book Love 2.0).

In other words, loving-kindness meditation is just a really, really good idea if you want to live a happy life and have an open and forgiving heard. It’s excellent magic.

Likewise, when you’re working a love mojo spell (whether it’s to attract a new lover, win back an ex, or re-ignite passion in a long-term relationship that’s cooled off) you can’t slack on doing common-sense stuff to increase your attractiveness.

If you have poor habits of eating, working out, maintaining your home, and maintaining your wardrobe (and I’ve been seriously guilty of all of this at various times, so no judgment from me) then your mojo bag, however well-prepared, will not rescue you. If you’re not a paragon of self-discipline (I sure ain’t!), don’t stress and don’t beat yourself up about it – but realize that a big part of attraction and love magic is loving yourself and taking care of yourself. Everyone wants to be with someone who they can trust to take good care of them, and the biggest signal you give that you’ll take good care of someone else is that you take good care of yourself and your surroundings. So if you struggle with these practical dimensions of attractiveness (and please believe me I’m not talking about looking like a movie star, just taking solid steps each day to look and feel your personal best) then be sure to ask your spiritual friends for help with this part of life each day when you make your offerings at your altar.

5) Massage, perfume, annoint yourself each day with a magically-charged essential oil blend. And don’t forget to feed your mojo bag with it! It was a strange day when I got on the phone with the eccentric genius wizard B.G. Fuller, the creator of SexyLoveMagic oil. (You’ll very quickly see what I mean by “eccentric genius wizard” when you click that above link and look at B.G.’s website – it’s not super-slick, it’s kind of funky-looking, it’s definitely clueless about optimizing sales and it features just a humble PayPal “Buy Now” button instead of any sophisticated e-commerce stuff -- but for all its flaws, his website does drive home the point that he has created a truly magical oil – and as I’ll relate momentarily, he’s really onto something.) B.G. contacted me because his girlfriend had sent him my essay, 10 Signs the Man You Love is a Bad-Ass Wizard because she recognized his wizardly qualities upon reading my description, and B.G. really liked the essay. So B.G. and I ended up talking for a long time about our mutual belief and experience with the tremendous magical and healing power of essential oils, and especially the way that certain essential oils can activate your amygdala, a major spiritual-emotional sense organ in your brain. He eventually confided to me that he had spent the last few years methodically crafting and testing the highest-quality magical oil blend that he could imagine, and that he called it SexyLoveMagic. I thought this was kind of a bizarre coincidence, since just a few months prior I had been playing around with designing a website called SexPowerMoneyMagick. Here’s the design I made for it – just as a little bit of proof for you:

This is where the strangeness came from. I mean, really folks, what are the odds? Clearly B.G. and I are on a similar wave length. I got interested and wanted to buy some, so I asked him how much the oil cost. “It’s $50 a bottle” he told me. $50 a bottle? I thought. What is it made of?! Nectar squeezed from the breasts of Coco Chanel?! I’m a little bit on the skeptical-and-thrifty-side, you see. So I managed to forget all about B.G. and his SexyLoveMagic oil until one day, I found that B.G. had generously sent a sample bottle to my doorstep in the mail. I gratefully opened the bottle, gingerly applied it to my skin, took some deep breaths – and then called him in a frenzy of excitement. Why was I so excited? Because I just had to thank him and tell him – I don’t know how he did it! He created the greatest smelling, most spiritually-uplifting, mood-altering oil blend I had ever encountered! (and friends, I am someone who religiously smells all the oils and perfumes at every store I enter, always). Now having actually used the stuff - instead of thinking that B.G. was charging too much at $50 a bottle, I was worried that the dear man was

delusionally charging way too little, especially after he told me how he handmade it from all-organic, cold-pressed oils. Somehow SexyLoveMagic oil smelled like a fragrance that I had once inhaled in a long-ago, epic dream. I asked B.G. how exactly had he done it? He explained to me that he crafted SexyLoveMagic oil through a long process of invoking the angels of various zodiac influences, praying, meditating, experimenting with the oils in his own magical practice, and listening to the angelic instructions about how to create an oil blend that would be as practically effective as it is magically effective at stimulating intimacy and freedom. And thus – SexyLoveMagic oil was born. This all makes me very happy. So I’ve used SexyLoveMagic oil regularly ever since it arrived in my life, to great effect. As a woman who likes to both smell really good and feel really confident that she’s spiritually and magically potent-as-can-be, SexyLoveMagic oil has just become my ideal, go-to choice for my daily massaging, perfuming, annointing, and bath-fragrancing. So phew – enough about that for now. I think you get the point. There’s a wide range of wonderful essential oils and blends available on the market today, they’re a key component of working powerful love and attraction magic, and as far as my opinion goes, I think that SexyLoveMagic oil is just the all-time world’s-best-bee’s-knees for all magical spell purposes related to love, sweet love. And I haven’t yet successfully gotten B.G. to raise the price on it – but I’m really very persuasive, so I suggest you go ahead and order your bottle before the man starts listening to me and it costs twice as much.
