Leseprobe

Some people are just born witches. Others dabble in the craft before they become aware of their innate power. For me, magic made its presence known very early. Before I learned to read, I already knew my astrological sign; by the time I was five, I had learned the medicinal uses of herbs from my aunt Edie. She was my mentor, and though she would sooner have called herself a medicinal woman than a witch, she was wise in the ways of magic. Like many others before me, love spells marked my entry into the practice. At thirteen, I cast my first love spell. Instantly, my best friend became the object of amorous attention from a previously disinterested suitor. Since then, I have had many years and ample opportunity to perfect this most joyous aspect of the craft. I have watched these spells kindle and keep love’s passion alive time and time again. 

 For maximum power, love spells require you to use herbs and astrological signs with specific properties that correspond to your desired outcome. If you want to strike up a conversation with the handsome, shy fellow at work, try it when the moon is in Gemini, the best time for communication. If, after a few successful dates, you are looking for things to heat up, fix an aphrodisiac dinner one Scorpio moon evening, the most sensual of times. If you want to rekindle a long-lost love, try a Cancer moon, when sentiments run high. As ever, timing is everything, and certain days are made for love. 

 The magic guiding the spells in this book is all positive, used only to bring light and love into people’s lives. But beware the power of these spells! Avoid some of my early mistakes, like when I tried to help a girlfriend and ended up being pursued instead. I not only attracted undesired advances, I lost a friend in the process. The power you are wielding is no small thing, and the more you practice, the more potent your magic will be. Becoming a good witch is easy. With desire, a loving attitude, a few natural ingredients, and a dash of magic, these custom-crafted recipes will cook up exciting flirtation, enchanted courtships, and lasting love. My hope is that you and your loved ones will reap the benefits of this timeless wisdom. Then, in accordance with the grand tradition, pass it on.
