Love Magick, spell kit and correspondences
Magick for opening your heart, deepening self-love and welcoming caring connection.
Love magick in Wiccan practice begins at home, with the way you treat yourself. Spells for love work best when they soften old hurts, build self-worth and make you more open to the kind of affection you want in your life. You can also work to strengthen friendships, family bonds and an existing partnership with that partner's knowledge. One firm ethical line: never cast to make a specific person love you or to bend anyone's free will. Instead, describe the qualities of the love you hope for and let the right people find their way to you.
