~Self Love Spell~
This spell is for those who seek to bring Love into their Lives. One thing i always tell people, when they ask for a Love spell, is why do they want it~ this is usually their answer. Often when they are seeking Love, it is not from others that they seek it, but from themselves. They feel like they need someone to make them feel Love, when they must first feel it within themselves before they can truly feel it from or for another. This spell is designed to show the person all the things about them that makes them THEM. It shows the person their strengths, and helps them to overcome their weakness's. By Loving yourself, Love will flow into your life more openly, and strongly. This spell needs to be done somewhere where it will not be moved, as it is done over a period of weeks. If this is not possible, then do it on a tray or table that can be moved, but have the spell assembly left the same. It is best that this spell be done naked, but if this is not possible, wear cloths that make you feel Beautifull.
Tools Needed~ ~ 5 red or dark pink dinner candles,
~ One rose quartz crystal, (of a size that can be carried on the person),

Starting on the first Friday night after the New Moon, sit or kneel at the area the spell will be done. If using a large mirror, set up so that you can see yourself in the mirror. As said earlier, this need to be done somewhere where it doesnt get moved, or on a tray or table that can be moved, as once the spell is started, it should be left as it is for the time it is needed. Cover the table or area of casting with the red cloth. Place a tea light candle at each corner, and light them. Take up one of the candles, and with a few drops of oil in your hands, massage the oil into the candle, moving from the base to the tip. Take up the pin and engrave a Heart shape into the middle of the candle. Hold the candle in your palms, in a prayer gesture, with the candle running from wrist to finger tips. Close your eyes, and 'fill' the candle with Love energy. This is done by seeing red/pink Light, flowing from your heart, down the arms, and into the candle, filling it like a vile. You will know when it is full. When thi is done, plave the candle in its holder, and put it in the center of the table or spell area and light it. Take up a handfull of the rose petals in your hands(about a quarter). Again, feel them fill with Love, seeing them sparkle with red/pink Light. Sprinkel the petals around the candle in a Heart shape. This does not need to be perfect, just as long as it looks like a general Heart shape. Take up the rose quartz. With a few drops of oil, fill the crystal with Love energy, rubbing the oil into it. Place this infront of the candle. Now, when you are ready, sit and look at yourself in the mirror. If using a handheld, look at your face, if using a large mirror, look at your body also. Just sit and look, dont look for bad things, just look. Study your face/body. As you look at yourself, fell Love enrgy flow through you, filling your Being. Say these words or similar~
"I am Beatifull,
I am Full of Love,
I am a Loving Person,
People Love to be with me,
Love surrounds me,
Above and Below,
Left and Right,
Infront and Behind.
Love flows through me,
I feel it in my Mind,
In my Heart,
In my Soul.
I Love Myself,
I Am Loved~"
As you say these words, feel the Love energy fill you up. Feel it surround you, above and below, left and right, infront and behind. Feel it ALL around you. Start to breath it in, feeling it fill your Mind, your Heart, your Soul. Know you are Loved~... Take up the note pad and pen. Sit and think for a bit about three things that you Love about yourself, be it your laugh, your friendship, your gentleness. Try to think of atleast 3 things. Write these three things down on the pad. Fold the page and place it under the crystal. Then, think of 3 things that you dont like about yourself, may it be your tendancy to judge, that you gossip or bitch to much, that you dont like the way you look~ Write these three things down on a new page. Take the page and rip it in to three pieces, putting the pieces into the heat proof dish. Light the paper, and watch it burn. Feel these things leaving you, let them go. Tell yourself you no longer have that feeling, it is gone. When it is done, look back into the mirror. Think about the things you wrote down that you love about yourself. Feel them become stronger within yourself, taking over the place left behind by the things you have released. Take up the Oil and put a drop on your finger tips. Massage this into your temples and throat. Massage a bit more into your wrists. Feel yourself Filled with Love~ Look into the mirror and se yourself as being beautifull and shinning with Love. Take up the pouch, and put the crystal along with the list, aswell as some rose petals into it. Drop three drops of oil onto the pouch. Hold it then in your hands, and feel it pulse with Love. Put it back down infront of the candle, and leave the candle to burn for about half an hour. During this time, do things that make you feel Love. Write, draw, read, meditate, or just sit and look at yourself in the mirror. When the time is up, go back to the candle. Look into the mirror once again, and repeat the words above.Feel there power again flow through you. Blow out the candle, and take up the pouch, and the dish of burnt paper. take the dish outside and blow the ashes to the wind, feeling them again flow away from you. KNOW that these things are gone. Keep the pouch with you where ever you go, holding it when ever you feel you need to feel Love. When ever you find yourself doing something from the list that you burnt, stop. Hold the Pouch, and do the things that make you Loved. After a while, this will become second nature, and before long, you will stop doing the things you didnt like all together, and the things you Love, will more often. Each morning, before you go out, annoint yourself with the oil, feeling beautifull as you do so. Each night, return to the candle. Light it again, and look into the mirror. Repeat the words above. Take out the paper from the pouch, as well as the quartz. Read the list again, fill the crystal with Love, annoint yourself with the oil. Let the candle burn for a bit longer, do the things you Love for this time.
~Reapeat this process each Friday night, for four weeks, using a new candle, and fresh petals. Make a new list of both the good and bad things, burning the bad, and keeping the good with the others in the pouch. On the last night,(the fifth Friday), take out all the lists from the pouch, as well as the crystal. Annoint and light the fifth candle, placing it in its holder. Look at all the lists again. Look into the mirror and repeat the words above. Feel the Love around you again. KNOW you are Loved. Smile, and take peace in this. Let the candle burn for as long as you like, do all the things that you Love again. When you are done, put the lists back into the pouch, and place the pouch somewhere where you will see it everyday, with the rose quartz on top to remind you of the Love you hold for yourself. You can repeat this spell anytime you need to, use it to 're-charge' the crystal, and to reconfirm the Love you now hold. When ever you feel yourself slipping and doing the things you didnt like, stop, and do the things you Love.
