Love Ritual, from Teresa Moorey's Spells and Rituals: A Beginner's Guide, p. 49

Choose a Friday, when the moon is waxing or, preferably, full. Place roses on your altar - choose red for passionate love, pink for affection. Place Venus herbs there, also, if you wish, such as thyme. Have candles of rose pink. Enjoy a long bath first and anoint yourself with rosewater or ylang-ylang oil. Call on Aphrodite to help you. After you have invoked the elements, ask for the special help of the salamanders, or Fire spirits, to bring you passion; the Water spirits, the undines, to bring emotional fulfilment; the Earth spirits, or gnomes, to endow you with earthy sensuality and knowledge of the senses; and the Air spirits, or sylphs, to bring you communication. In my view all are operative, but you might like to focus on one aspect.

Then you may proceed to a specific ritual, such as empowering a special crystal. While in your circle, clearly visualise the love you want. Perhaps write down all the attributes of the lover and burn the paper in the flame of a candle. Touch each part of your body, caressing and loving it, imagining that a lover will soon be doing the same to you. Affirm that the love you want is now entering your life. Don't forget to let the energies go and close down firmly, because this is the sort of spell that can linger, sapping your energies by unfulfilled desire.
