Sophocles, the 5th century playwright and philosopher believed that Love is the emotion that frees us from all the worries of life. Love is a universal emotion. Love personifies the purity of our spiritual yearning to be desired, cherished and cared for.

Love spells are easiest and most enjoyable of all spells. As children we think of the qualities of the person who will one day become our mate. We watch love birds and wonder whether we would accept or reject their behavior. As a result, most of us know, by the beginning of our teenage years, the important traits of the person we will be spending our life with.

Love is such a strong, individual emotion that no one needs advice on whom to love. In fact, even our logic may not make any sense when we fall in love. It's an emotion that is very deep, closer to our spirit than any other. As a result, it takes some time to visualize the type of person whom you think will make you happy. However, we should also consider the fact that Love is a two-way street. We have to think of what our lover needs and is looking for. Long term love relationships thrive because the lovers know how to please each other and cherish each other. Looks, wealth, status, culture, etc has very little do with our real Love.

Let us start with a spell to find out what type of person we wish to share our life with. Do this on a day when the moon is in a waxing phase (getting bigger everyday). The belief is that as the moon increases in size, whatever you wish for (love, in this case) will bloom as well.

First you will need to get a pink or red candle. These colors signify romance; spiritual as well as physical love. Incenses such as Apple, Lavender or Rose will immerse you in the mood of dreaming and visualizing new love. From ancient times, aromatic herbs have been used to attract, retain and remember loving experiences.

Next you will have to take a long, warm bath water mixed with rose or lavender oils. Light candles around the bath if you can safely do so. Sitting in the water, think of the person you want to welcome into you life. Your dreams should be practical, not ones of heroes in movies or books coming to you on horseback J

You could think of a single neighbor you have your eye on, someone at work or a stranger you met in the grocery aisle. If you have already met this person, it makes the spell working easier and stronger. It is imperative that you do not dream of a married person because you will get more negative results than the positive ones you wish for.
