Dream Spells for Lovers

To induce prophetic dreams about your future lover or marriage mate, perform any of the following dream spells:

1. On a night when the Moon is full and bright, take the “The Lovers” card from

a Tarot deck and place it underneath your pillow before going to sleep.

2. Collect nine leaves from a female holly at the stroke of midnight on a Friday (the day of the week ruled by Venus, the goddess of love). Place them in a three-cornered handkerchief tied with three knots, and place the charm under your pillow before you retire. (Be careful not to utter even one word until the following sunrise or else the power of the charm will be broken.)

3. An old dream spell from Ireland calls for the gathering of ten ivy leaves in silence on a Samhain eve. Cast one leaf into a fire and place the remaining ones under your pillow before you go to bed.

4. Place any of the following charms underneath your pillow: a petticoat or

the garter is worn by a bride on her wedding day, an onion, daisy roots, a piece of wedding cake wrapped in white satin and lace, a poplar branch tied to your stockings or socks, or two laurel leaves picked by a Witch on Saint Valentine’s

Day.

5. Before going to sleep, bathe in bathwater containing some lavender oil

and rosewater, and then rub your temples with three drops of blood from a white

dove. (IMPORTANT NOTE: The best way to obtain the dove’s blood is to find a dove that is already dead. Never kill a live dove! If you do, bad luck will surely come your way. Most Wiccans and modern-day Pagans agree that the deliberate taking of any life is unnecessary for modern white magick and is in violation of the Wiccan Rede.)

6. Another lover’s dream spell requiring blood from a dove comes from a medieval treatise on oneiromancy (the art and practice of dream interpretation):

Mix magnet dust and powdered coral with the blood of a white dove to form a dough. Enclose it in a large fig, wrap it in a piece of blue cloth, and then wear it on a gold chain around your neck as you sleep.

HERBAL LOVE POTIONS: Add to wine or food any of the following herbs to make a powerful love potion—balm, basil, powdered cardamom seeds, carrot root, cinnamon, cumin, dill seed, dittany of Crete, fennel seeds, grains of paradise, marjoram, powdered orris root, parsley.

ORANGE SPELL: To gain the affections of a certain person, write his or her full name and birthdate on the inside of a dried, heart-shaped orange peel. Burn it along with dried orange blossoms as you concentrate upon your beloved and chant his or her name out loud. Gather the ashes and keep them in a sealed Witch Bottle.

PASSION SPELL: To make your man more passionate in bed, write his name on

a red phallus-shaped candle (available at most occult shops), stroke it nine times

with musk oil, and then pass it through the smoke of musk incense. Light the candle once a day, letting it burn down only half an inch each time. When the candle is finished, wrap it in a piece of red satin and keep it under your bed for a whole month.

WITCH BOTTLE LOVE SPELL: To win the affections of a certain lady or gentleman, perform this spell when the Moon is in the astrological sign of Taurus, or on any Friday night when the Moon is in a waxing phase.

Mix a handful of quassia chips with some hair and/or fingernail clippings from your beloved, and burn to ashes. Mix the ashes with some dried rose petals and place them in a small bottle. After sealing the bottle, tape a photograph of your beloved or a piece of fabric taken from his or her clothing to it. Wrap a square piece of new pink satin around the bottle and tie it securely with a pink or white ribbon. Anoint the satin-covered bottle with two drops of rose oil or mint oil, and then pass it through the smoke of jasmine-scented incense as you chant out loud the name of the person from whom you desire love, willing him or her to desire you, until the incense, burn itself completely out.

To Reverse This Spell: When the Moon is in a waning phase, remove the ribbon and satin from the bottle and burn them. Open the bottle and pouritss contents out into a moving body of water as you say thrice: “Love’s direction now has shifted. Let this lover’s spell be lifted!” Break the Witch Bottle with a rock (taking care not to get glass in your eyes) and then carefully bury the broken pieces in the ground.
