SPELL TO EASE A BROKEN HEART*

            You will need the following ingredients (be sure to charge them all
          before you begin):                                                    
           
          strawberry tea (one bag)     Small wand or stick from a willow tree
          sea salt                     2 pink candles
          a mirror                     one pink drawstring bag
          one quartz crystal           a copper penny
          a bowl made of china or crystal that is special to you
          1 teaspoon dried jasmine     1 teaspoon orris-root powder
          1 tsp. strawberry leaves     1 teaspoon yarrow
          10 plus drops apple-blossom oil or peach oil
          10 plus drops strawberry oil                                          
           
            On a Friday morning or evening (the day sacred to Venus) take a bath
          in sea salt in the light of a pink candle. As you dry off and dress,
          sip the strawberry tea. Use a dab of strawberry oil as perfume or
          cologne. Apply makeup or groom yourself to look your best. Cast a
          circle with the willow wand around a table the the other ingredients.
          Light the second pink candle. Mix all oils and herbs in the bowl.
          While you stir look at yourself in the mirror and say aloud: "Oh,
          Great Mother Goddess, enclose me in your loving arms and nurture and
          bring forth the Goddess within me." Gaze deeply into the mirror after
          you have finished mixing the ingredients and say aloud, "I represent
          the Great Goddess, Mother of all things. I shine in the light of the
          Golden Wings of Isis. All that is great and loving only belongs to
          me." Then put half the mixture in the pink bag and add the penny and
          crystal. Carry it with you always [or until you find another love].
          Leave the other half of the potion in the bowl, out in a room where
          you will smell the fragrance. Repeat this ritual every Friday if
          necessary.

          Needless to say, you should replace the goddess name with one that you
          attune
          to.
