Pentagram Love Spell

On the first night, after lighting the candle, place before you a large piece of white paper. On this paper, using red ink, draw a large pentagram, using as much of the paper as possible. This pentagram represents your ideal mate. Each of the five points of the pentagram represents a different aspect of him/her. The upper most point represents his/her spirit. Clockwise from here are the points representing his/her emotions, passions, physical self and intellect.

Taking your time, think about what kind of spiritual or religious qualities you would like to find in an ideal mate. As words come to mind, write them down inside of the uppermost point of the pentagram.

Repeat the process, when ready, with the next four points that represent his/her empotional self, passionate self, physical self and intellectual self. What emotional qualities would this person ideally have? What instincts and passions would this person ideally have? What physical traits would this person ideally have? What mental traits would this person ideally have? Write each of these down inside of the corresponding point on the pentagram. When you are finished, the pentagram should be filled with words that form a concose image of your ideal mate.

When you can think of no more traits you are finished for the first night. Whisper a prayer of thanks to the Lady of the Moon and snuff the white candle.

On the second night, re-light the candle and examine the pentagram. Allow yourself to again consider any traits that may be important to you. If any new ideas come to you place them in the appropriate point of the pentagram.

When ready, look at each point of the pentagram. Starting with the upper most point rank the qualities found in that point. Place a #1 next to the most important quality, a #2 next to the next most important quality, and so on. When the ranking of the qualities in the first point on the pentagram is complete, repeat the process in each of the other points.

When you are finished ranking the qualities, you are finished for the second night. Again, whisper a prayer of thanks to the Moon Goddess and snuff the white candle.

On the third night, the night of the Full Moon, light the white candle. Draw the symbol of the Triple Moon Goddess in the center of the pentagram and place the white candle over the center of the pentagram. Say a prayer to the Goddess of the Moon in your own words, asking Her to further empower your magick with Her own, explaining the reasons why you desire a relationship and how you intend to nurture the relationship as it forms.

Focus with great intent on the qualities listed in the various points in the pentagram. See the light of the candle and Moon infuse the spell with power. Affirm that people who meet this description will be drawn into your life as you visualize yourself meeting someone who fits the description.

Begin to generate your own power in whatever fashion suits you as you visualize. This may be in such ways as drumming, dancing and/or chanting. A short focused chant will suffice: "on nights of the growing Moon times three, this spell I make, this seed I sow, those of my choice are drawn to me, that by free will true love may grow."

When the power has peaked release it out into the universe through the pentagram, projecting it with strong, focused, visualization of the final goal. Say a small prayer of thanks to the Moon Goddess, feel confident, knowing that your wish is granted. Allow the white candle to burn itself out. It is done.
