“Aphrodite, Aphrodite, goddess of love and passion

Hear my call, lower your gaze on me and grant me the grace to find a love that is loyal and in good faith”

• Prick your left thumb with a small sterilized needle and drop three drops of blood on the leaf.
• Put a few drops of the rose scented ritual oil on the candle and light it up!
• Place the leaf above the fire and while it burns recite:

“It’s with my blood and fire that this magic begins.

The desire will bring to me the one that is destined for me .

 Dream of me now, mortal heart,

Feel the emptiness of the separation,

Dream of me under the rays of the moon,

Come to me, guided by the rays of the Sun and the Universal Energy of Cosmic Love. ”

“So be it”.

While the candle burns, focus on your expectation and imagine the kind of lover you need.  Pour three drops of blood, close the magic circle and finish the invocations. Remember to say thanks to the Aphrodite goddess at the end of the ritual.
