Love Spells and the Basics of Love Magic

 Prof Elijah  gives the basics in love magic and love spells. Always  remember that magic is for believers, but this column can also simply  serve as a guide to getting in touch with yourself — magically or not.

Love  magic is an extremely controversial topic in spell work. There are many  perspectives about the ethics of bending another’s will for their  admiration. Luckily, there are rules that apply when casting such  spells. So if you want to fall in love but don't want things to get dark, you're in the right place.

Before  we dig in to what love magic is, it's important to try and take back  your power. True love starts within. You don’t need validation from  someone else, and if a relationship has become toxic it’s time to cut it  out of your life. These spells are about love, which doesn't always  involve another person, so feel free to use them to bathe yourself in  the TLC you deserve.

Now, let's get to the fun stuff:

Love  magic is the act of attracting, well, love! Don't be fooled, though: It  won't make someone fall in love with you. Love magic only works if the  energy is there and already headed in a certain direction. Meaning, if  you and your CRUSH have mutual feelings for each other, MAGIC can help accelerate the energy between you two. It will act like a  magnetic force drawing you both together. Rather than making someone  fall in love with you, love magic is about attracting love that already  exists — and that can come in many forms. Keep an open mind and an open  heart.

In  order to be successful in your love spells, it’s important to be clear  and honest with your intention. This requires a proper petition to be  drawn up by the spell caster. In this letter, clearly state what you  want from a particular person or what you want to attract in your own  life. A letter of intention must be to the point and kept private. After  the letter is created, burn it so the energy from the ashes is released  into the universe.

When writing a letter of intention or even  starting a spell, it’s essential to take note of what is best for you.  If you are only seeking to attract a boo who is emotionally unavailable,  then they won’t appear in your life as a result. If you are conjuring  someone who appeals to your higher mindset, then you’ll attract that  person and energy.

One  of the most important parts of learning something new is understanding  where it came from—if anything, it can help you form your own answer  around the question we’ve all wondered: Are love spells real? You may  not find a singular science-based answer, but you will find many people  practicing their own spells throughout history. This tradition is  something ancient Greeks, medieval English, kingdoms across Africa,  early Jewish cultures, and many more communities have in common. In  fact, love magic has been around just as long as, well, the act of  loving someone has. It’s easy to associate any kind of spell or magic  with the overgeneralized world of witchcraft—but it’s far from that  simple. binding spells for lovers

Sometimes  spells don’t work because we desire people for the wrong reasons.  Simply put: You can’t make a person fall in love with you. As stated  above, the feelings in the relationship must be mutual. If they are not,  then the magic will fall flat. binding and dominance spells

Additionally, magic only works if  you are putting yourself out there. As in non-magical love, if you're  sitting at home and not interacting with others, you're not super likely  to find your true love. You get what you give.

Spells might also  fail if there’s information missing, or the witch conducting the spell  isn’t being completely honest with themselves about the situation — or  the person they lust for isn’t being truthful with them. Love magic will  rip all of these dynamics open for us to see the real story. This is  why it’s recommended not to conduct love magic on a particular person,  but to open the gates of happiness toward a healthy relationship.

So,  do love spells work? Like we said, don't think of this as bringing  someone specific to you. Instead, it can create the best possible path  for us to find love.

Yes!  This can happen when your guides (your ancestors and spirits) have a  different path for you. Usually, they will steer you in the right place —  but only if you listen to them. For instance, if you’re firing up a  love candle and the wick stops burning, chances are your spirits are  telling you it’s a moot point. Conversely, if the wick is cracking and  popping, then it’s a matter that requires extra work.

Also,  being aware of your own energy when casting love spells is very  important. If you’re anxious, then the energy will become erratic. It’s  important to meditate before and to conduct spells with a calm mind.

Lastly,  be positive that you’re using the right spell. Be aware that spells  aimed to trap another person or manipulate their will won’t work. Magic  can turn around on you if it’s not the right avenue for you to take.

Now that you're properly prepared, let's talk spells. powerful love spells
