Introduction

All you need is love... or so sayeth numerous songs, poems, novels, and nonfiction how-tos that tell us how to get it, how to keep it, how to lose it, and how to pine for it. With all that information floating around out there on the topic of love, youd think the human race might have this elusive essence fairly under control.

Um... we dont.

Love. A simple four-letter word. Love can rocket us to the stars or plunge us into the depths of despair. Sometimes used as a noun, then again as a verb. Uh-oh, weve got problems already! Throw in the concept of emotions and surely we have a brew with bizarre ingredients. There is no sure cure for love. (I swear, at times, it is a disease!) From pure passion to psycho mind games, the gambit of experiences each of us may encounter in the rapturous beat of the inflamed throb of the heart can leave us reeling for months, sometimes years, floating adrift in a sea of what-could-have-been or leaving us simply smiling and weightless in the memory of a moment of ecstasy.

Mick and I have been married for more than twenty-five years. More entertaining and awesome, we are still together and speaking to one another. Marriage aside, there are all sorts of loving relationships, including those with your parents, siblings, children, significant others, friends, teachers, and pets. Love is a never-ending energy that can encompass people, places, and things. Love is you.

And the magick in this little book?

Why... its love.

Operating Instructions

P icture me, please, sitting on a porch swing in a chic summer dress (visualization is half the battle), sipping a large tumbler of iced tea and gently waving an ornate ivory fan. As I lean forward to give you the secrets of enchante lamour, I say (with a dark-syrup accent), Just picking up a book on love spells is not going to solve your machinations of the heart. I lean back. No, no. Love and magick require effort. (Insert purr.) Here, my friend, are the rules of the game....

Magick

Magick is the art and science of changing thought into form through the use of your belief combined with divinity. That means you can use any deity of your choice. A spell is like a recipeit doesnt matter what name-brand products you use (as in your idea of religion) and you are free to make substitutions on any of the physical ingredients listed.

All positive magick is designed to create balance. If things are really out of whack in your love life, and you choose to use magick in your overall plan of change, expect some major events to occur.

Be careful what you wish foryou just might get it!

Magick requires your willingness to change your pattern of living, especially when we are talking about magick that involves the heart. This means that love magick obligates you to put forth the effort necessary to make changes within yourself so that you can be-come a more desirable person (better known as an attitude adjustment!). The use of deodorant and a shower a day would also be helpful.

If your magick fails, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and try a new tactic. We dont always know what is best for us, and sometimes Spirit gives us a good stiff kick and a spin or two so that we are facing the right direction for our mission in life. Hey, it happens.

Never, ever, ever use magick to toy with another individuals free will. Thats right. This means that you cant cast a spell on Michael or Lori to make them fall passionately in love with you. The universe has a way of slapping your hand if you dont listen to this advice. Now, before you close this book and say, Well then! Ill buy a book that does tell me how to force someone to love methink again (please). I have many years of magick under my belt and Ive seen a lot of hocus-pocus messes brought about by people who are thinking with parts of their anatomy other than their noggins while dabbling in magick. Do yourself a favor: play by the rules.

The complexity of any spell carries less importance than the finesse of the procedure.

Your skill makes the application fall into the beginner or advanced category. You become what you magick. Think about it.

Love

I have a few general pointers for you in matters of the heartoperating instructions (if you will) that work well with magickal applications.
