Love Spells
A SPELL TO KEEP A LOVER OR SPOUSE FAITHFUL
The following spell is a typical prescription given to an unhappy young man or woman approximately 100 years ago by a spiritualist. The spell has been handed down by word of moth to the present day and is characteristic of spells from America's South designed to keep a lover or spouse faithful.
Each ingredient has an obvious symbolic function: the rose water and sugar are intended to keep the straying lover "sweet" on the one left behind, while the ginger powder is believed to rekindle passion in the relationship. The cinnamon and cardamom powders are tradionally used in love magic to inspire thoughts of faithfulness and love. Lastly, the yellow ribbon is a token of "forget-me-not" and is used to "tie" the straying lover to your side with thoughts of love.
Take a few of his or her hairs from a recently used hair brush. Place the hairs in a bottle or jar filled with the following:
Rose Water
Seventeen teaspoons of Sugar
A teaspoon of ground Ginger Root
A teaspoon of ground Cinnamon
A teaspoon of powdered Cardamom Seed
With all the ingredients inside, place the lid on the bottle.
Rub the bottle or jar with a sweet smelling oil and tie a yellow ribbon around it. Place the bottle under the bed shared by the couple.
