Where to start with a love spell?

 Rituals are an excellent tool for influencing our destinies, they can help solve various problems and regain peace of mind. However, when performing them, we often forget that a ritual is much more than words spoken and gestures made. Every ritual consists of specific attributes which cannot be replaced by others and only when combined with the right words and, most importantly, an attitude - will they add up to a full ritual that is likely to have an effect.

Let's start with the objects themselves - almost every ritual requires the preparation of candles. One or more, depending on the ritual. However, what kind of candles they will be also matters immensely, to be more specific - the colour of the candle is important. The candle itself is an important magical artefact because it symbolises the four elements. The wax is earth, but melted wax means water, the flame is of course fire and the smoke is air. On the other hand, depending on the colour of the candle, the vibrations of the candle change, which bring a specific energy into the ritual. If the ritual is about love, a red or pink candle should be used, for a career, an orange candle, or, for example, to improve one's financial situation, a yellow candle. These are, of course, not all the colours, and therefore not all the candle possibilities, but it shows how important this detail is for the performance of the ritual.

With candles, other things are also important. There are many rituals. Some require daily repetition with the same candle, so it obviously needs to be large. Sometimes, on the contrary, we need a candle that will burn out quickly, so we must remember to pay attention to the size of the candle as well. Each ritual should explain exactly what items we will need. Another issue that needs to be addressed in connection with candles is our safety. Rituals are good to perform on a white tablecloth, but it is better not to place the candles directly on it. A tray or a plate of some kind will be useful for this.

Besides candles, ribbons, cards or incense are often used for rituals. These also vary. With ribbons and cards, as with candles, the colour plays the most important role - we have to match it to the ritual. With incense, the problem is greater, because they are powerful on their own and can be used independently. It is better not to add any ideas from ourselves with burning herbs, but to follow the instructions of the ritual exactly. This will protect us from any mistakes. However, it is always possible, and even advisable, to perfume the room where the ritual will be performed with burnt sage. This will cleanse the place of negative vibrations, thus creating an atmosphere conducive to the fulfilment of our desire.

It is the cleansing and mental preparation that is the most important and also the most difficult part of any ritual. All the necessary items will be given in the ritual instructions - it is good to prepare them in advance, so that when we start the ritual, we have everything at hand. Looking for something, or worse, leaving the prepared room is distracting and almost nullifies the chances of success.

But back to the mental preparation, let's reiterate what we established at the beginning - ritual is not just about words and gestures. What really makes a ritual work is the positive energy we bring in, and the power of our mind mainly contributes to this. The words and actions in a ritual only facilitate this, but the power lies in visualisation, or the ability to imagine what we care about. The imagination, however, must be complete, we must be focused, fully concentrated and relaxed. This is why a ritual cannot be planned in a few minutes. We need to prepare well for it. We must be confident and determined, but also aware of the time that will be needed. The room must be clean, tidy, with all the objects prepared in advance. Only in such conditions will the ritual make sense.

It is also important to remember how to behave after the ritual. Unburnt candles or other used objects must be destroyed, giving them to one of the elements. The best way is to bury them in the ground or throw them into a river. At all times, however, if the ritual prescribes something else, let us observe it. Let us also not spend all our time thinking about the ritual we have performed, wondering when we will see the effects. There is no way of predicting when we will achieve what we wanted, and with nerves and anxiety we can only push that moment away. Let's calmly and consciously think about what is missing in our lives and prepare for the ritual that will help us get it.
