Note:
I stated this earlier, in my Book of Shadows... but it bares repeating. Some witches feel that Love Spells are manipulative and take away another's free will. I disagree. As long as the purpose of the spell is to bring love into your life or the life of another, I don't feel that it is negative. However, this is my feeling and not necessarily yours. So if you are uncomfortable about manipulating another's free will, you may not want to perform these loves spells. It's entirely up to you.
Blessed Be.
This is a love binding spell For a new love, or to have an old love return to you. Many love spells will provide an obsessed partner, but that isn't exactly commitment. Love spells to get a person to commit are very rare. This commitment spell is extremely manipulative and most Witches would consider it black magick which is against the Rede. It also contains some more difficult to obtain ingredients. With these things in mind, be sure you are commited to following through with this spell before you begin. I recommend it for only the most disciplined spell caster.
An alternative to this spell would be practicing relationship and communication skills, and gaining the trust of your desired one by digging deep into their emotions and listening carefully whenever they talk. Find out what makes them tick and see if you are compatable.
If you still wish to know the binding commitment spell, here it is. Your decision to use it is your responsibility alone. It is a magickal working only, and would probably not be considered Wiccan, therefore it is not for those who follow the Wiccan Rede. Important note: Never, never ever tell your target that this working has been done or that a spell has been cast on them. The target will become your enemy if this happens.
Components Needed:
A string or thread from the target's clothing at least 9 inches long.
A string from your clothing of the same length
A Red votive candle
A tall red taper candle
A drop of the person's scent (this would be their favorite cologne/perfume, shampoo or whatever they smell like the most)
Dried rose petals
Vanilla extract, about 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce)
A rose quartz (washed in hot soapy water and rinsed well)
1 ounce of rum
2 cups of fresh water (may be bottled water)
salt (any type)
incense (musk or vanilla are most appropriate)
glass vial or bottle
Maintain focus on your target coming to you in love during the entire working and as often as you can until the spell is fulfilled.
Potion Preparation:
Bring the fresh water to a boil for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat very low so the mixture stays warm but does not boil. add the rose petals while saying:
"dancing on the wind i go, <>to aid ________'s love to flow
his/her love will now fully bloom
His/her desire for me will come soon!"
Reconfirm your focus of the target loving you and coming to you.
Add the vanilla extract while saying:
"sweet charm, not meant to harm,
evoke his/her desire to take my arm.
Deep within him/her I summon it,
to come to me as I see fit!'
Reconfirm your focus, remove the mixture from the stove. Add a pinch of salt while saying:
"No one may interfere magickally,
this spell can only be undone by me."
Reconfirm your focus, add the ounce of rum while saying:
"Drunk with love he/she will come to me,
no other love will he/she see.
Our love will grow in purity,
and once it is true, this spell is set free."
Let the mixture cool and put it in a nice glass bottle with the rose quartz. This should be a bottle that has an appealing shape and is worthy of containing such a potion. (the bottle should be washed thoroughly)
Now comes the actual spell casting, so far you have completed the potion which is an ingredient of the actual spell.
Timing: This part of the working should start about 15 minutes before sunrise on a Friday. It should be concluded by 1 hour after sunrise so make sure you know it from start to finish in your mind. Check the Almanac or your local weather station for exact sunrise times.
Begin:
Clear an open area that you can work in and are comfortable in, this should be appoximately a 6 foot diameter space. You should not feel constricted. Find some sort of table with at least 1 foot of top surface space. Place the table in the center of your area and assemble the two candles, the strings, the potion, a bowl of salt, incense, target's scent.
Take the salt and starting in the north of your working area, cast a circle by making a salt circle. Cast is clockwise (doesil) while saying:
"I cast this circle to protect me from bane. I cast this circle to contain my energy until it is open. The circle is strong and will hold true."
Light the red candle and facing south say:
"Burning passion and desire, arise in _______ like a burning fire!"
Place the candle on the table, pick up the taper candle and annoint it with the target's scent. With the scent on your index finger, start in the middle of the candle and move down. Go all around the candles bottom half only rubbing in downward strokes.
Now start in the middle again and rub up to the wick all around the candle only in upward strokes.
Focus on your target coming to you in love.
Take both strings, hold them together and tie a knot at one end while focusing and saying:
"I bind this knot and bring _____ 's love."
Tie another knot at the opposite end of the parallel strings while saying:
"I bind this knot and bring ______'s desire."
Tie another knot near the first one on the opposite side:
"I bind this knot and bring ______'s faithfulness."
Tie another knot next to the second one you tied:
"I bind ______'s love to me."
Another next to the third one you tied:
"Come to me, so mote it be!"
Wrap the cord around the annointed taper at the base and light it while saying:
"The fire of love burns in his/her heart!"
Light the incense while saying:
"This smoke does hereby evoke, his/her commitment to me that he/she cannot revoke!"
Sit and focus on your goal, you may wish to chant the following:
"________ come to me, so mote it be."
After a few minutes, pick up the red candle and let three drops of wax fall on the bottle of potion (not in it, just on the lid or glass) and say:
"This spell is sealed!"
Put down the candle, remove the knoted cord, open the potion and dip the cord into it once while saying:
"I infuse this cord,
the spell is stored.
So long as knots remain,
his/her love for me will never wane."
Recap the potion and hold it above the incense so that smoke surrounds it. Turn it so the smoke reaches all sides and say:
"This smoke seals his/her love for me!"
Repeat the "smudging" with incense for the knotted core and say:
"His/her love is bound!"
Place all items back on the table and go around the circle counterclockwise (widdershins) while saying:
"The circle is open,
the spell is released.
His/her love for me,
will never cease!"
Take the potion outside so that sunlight will infuse it. Set it in the sun for as long as remains of the hour past sunrise. Take the potion in and store it in a safe place. Each day place a drop of the potion on your forehead, each breast and your groin area (4 drops total) carry the cord with you at all times and keep it near you when you sleep. Do not let anyone else see it. You should also store the potion in a safe place. Whenever the opportunity arises, sneak a FEW, 3 is best, drops of the potion in food or drink that your target will consume. This will definitely work, but when is hard to determine as it depends on many factors, among them, your personal power and confidence, timing, the target's will, etc.
This spell is best understood by visualizing a road or path with you on it, and your desired one's path intersecting yours right in front of you. The basic result of this spell is to have the opportunity to meet your target in beneficial circumstances. A good one for that person with whom you can't get alone to talk to.
Whenever we try to alter our "fate" or paths in such a way, we open ourselves to learning our life lessons at an accelerated rate. In other words, this is a chaos spell in a way, so make sure you have the inner peace and energy to deal with the results. Be fore-warned... This spell is not an easy one. It requires lots of semi-exotic ingredients. This is also a rather manipulative spell. As a spell with a time addition to it, you should see results within 2 weeks.
Components needed:
A marble sized amount of soil/dust/turf from where your target has recently stepped.
1 whole tonka bean or approximately 1 teaspoon ground tonka bean. (Coumarouna odorata; Dipteryx odorata) caution: Poison!
About a tablespoon of ground/rubbed mugwort (Artemisia vulfaris)
About a tablespoon of dew, collected frm rose petals (rosewater can be used)
1 staurolite crystal
Collect all the components needed, this can be a fun adventure in itself! as well as frustrating.
Make sure your target was the most recent person to step on the spot you are collecting soil from.
It is best to use whole mugwort and grind it in your pestil and mortar prior to the working while focusing on your desired one. To yield the amount needed, start with a small loose handful of dried whole leaves. The staurolite is available at most of the numerous magickal supply houses, new age stores, Nature Company stores, educational geology suppliers, etc.
The rose dew is tricky, but not impossible. But you may use commercially available rose water. It isn't quite the same but it has worked for the spell anyway. It is available at health food store, drug stores, magickal supply shops, etc.
Timing:
The closer to Midsummer (in June)the better, check out the Almanac. The timing is appropriate for several reasons, roses usually bloom around June, and love spells are best done around midsummer. If this spell is needed at another time of year, you may perform it when needed. But if you can wait for summer it would be preferred.
Begin:
For this working, you will need a larger circle than your personal one. Cast a circle large enough to move about comfortably ...about 9 ft. diameter.
Hold the staurolite in your projective hand and visualize your desired one crossing your path. Say words of power of your choice or use this chant while you are visualizing: "(person's name) to me, so mote it be!"
Repeat this over and over until you feel that the staurolite has been completely charged. Set the stone down on your altar or work place. Hold the earth you gathered from the footstep in your projective hand and repeat the previous procedure, except when fully charged place it in your cauldron or a mortar while saying your own words or the following:
"Let (person's name)'s footsteps take him/her to me. Our paths will cross, and only me will he/she see."
When placing the mugwort in the cauldron or mortar say your words or:
"No one else will enter her/his sight, When our paths cross within a fortnight" (14 days/2 weeks)
When placing the tonka bean powder in the cauldron/mortar, say your words or:
"Love will blossom in (person's name)'s heart, Once met, our paths will never part."
Grind together all of the powdered ingredients (deosil) while chanting:
"(person's name) to me, so mote it be."
When the powder is fine textured, add enough of the rose water to make a clay like consistency that can be molded. continue chanting....
Knead the clay/dough until smooth and form it around the staurolite while continuing to focus on your desired one. When it seems that the clay will hold its form, let it dry on the altar.
When the mass is dry, put it in a cloth, mojo bag, necklace, medicine bag, whatever you wish that you can carry it easily for the next two weeks. Keep it near you when sleeping too, and for Goddess's sake, go out and place yourself in situations where the spell can work! No one is going to cross your path if you are in front of the T.V.
Inscribe a red candle with your name, then face South and light it. Invoke the Fire Element by chanting:
"Fire, I call upon your heat
Sit in front of the candle and watch its flame dance for a few minutes. Chant three times:
"Let passion flow in me, around and about, Let it's tides fill me fully, within and throughout. Grant new zest and vigor for what comes my way, And grant that I eagerly seize each new day!" Let the candle completely burn out.
