🔮 What is love magic?
Love magic is a form of ritual or spiritual practice aimed at strengthening or creating emotional bonds. It can be harmless, playful, or deeply spiritual—but can also be problematic when it becomes manipulative.
It varies by culture but can take the following forms:
Attraction spells: To attract a specific person or the energy of love.
Binding spells: To strengthen an existing connection or bind someone closer to you.
Reconciliation rituals: To heal broken relationships.
Letting go rituals: To break an unhealthy bond.

✨ A simple love spell (gentle & ethical)
Goal: Strengthen self-love to attract love
You will need:
1 pink candle
1 rose quartz
A little honey or a few drops of rose essential oil
Paper + pen
Ritual:
Write on the paper: "I open my heart to the Love that belongs to me."
Rub the candle with honey or rose oil.
Light the candle, hold the rose quartz in your hand, and read your sentence aloud.
Meditate for a few minutes with your eyes closed, feeling open and ready.
Extinguish the candle (don't blow it out, rather smother it) and keep the rock and paper with you.
⚖️ Ethical Considerations
Love magic should never be used to break another person's free will. In magical ethics—for example, in Wicca or other paths—the following principle applies:
"What you send out returns to you threefold."
Therefore, spells aimed at self-love, openness, or attracting a loving energy are usually more powerful and lasting than manipulative bonding rituals.
