•September: Green Corn Moon, Wine Moon; fall’s Harvest Moon is the time to be grateful and reap what we have sown.
•October: Dying Grass Moon, Travel Moon, Blood Moon, Moon of Changing Seasons; the Hunter’s Moon is when we plan and store for winter ahead.
•November: Frost Moon, Snow Moon; Beaver Moon is the time to call upon our true wild nature.
•December: Cold Moon, Oak Moon; this is the lightest night of the shortest day and is the time to gather the tribe around the fire and share stories of the good life together.
I know this has happened to you, too. You met someone at a party, or you had a brief but meaningful moment in line for coffee, or perhaps you exchanged looks of longing on the train crossing town on your way to work. Now, your only hope is that chance will bring you together, right? Wrong!
Try this surefire attraction spell:
Take a man-shaped mandrake root (commonly available at herbalists and metaphysical shops), or any statue, photograph, or figure of a man. Place it on your altar and surround the figure’s base with red and pink rose petals, then add red and pink candles. Place two goblets of red wine beside this arrangement and burn candles every night for a week starting on Friday, Venus’ Day. Sip from one of the goblets and recite:
•
Merry Stranger, friend of my heart,
merry may we meet again.
Hail, fair fellow, friend well met,
I share this wine and toast you,
as we merry meet and merry part
and merry meet again.
Make sure you look your best, as you will soon lock eyes again.

Nature is the ultimate creator. At a nearby gardening or hardware store, get an assortment of seed packets to plant newness into your life. If your thumb is not the greenest, try nasturtiums, which are extremely hardy, grow quickly, and will spread to beautify any area. They also reseed themselves, which is a lovely bonus. Light the following candles, charging them with appropriate gems and stones:
•Green candle with peridot or jade for creativity, prosperity, and growth
•Orange candle with jasper or onyx for clear thinking and highest consciousness
•Blue candle with turquoise or celestite for serenity, kindness, and a happy heart
•White candle with quartz or limestone for purification and safety
Put the seeds under the soil with your fingers and tamp them down gently with your wand, the branch, which you should also stick in the ground at this time. Water your new moon garden, and affirmative change will begin in your life that very day. Get ready for the exquisiteness of new love. Ahhhhh!

Sure enough, I met a handsome man with beautiful, waist-length black hair. This manifesting magic works! Fold the paper at least once so it will fit into the box. Fill the rest of the box up with the herbs. Nestle the crystal in the herbs right at the top, then close the lid. Each night, open the box up and take a sniff to remind you of your search for true love.
On a small piece of paper, write the name of your would-be love in red ink and roll up the scroll. Anoint the paper with rose or amber essential oil. Tie the scroll with red threads, incanting one line of the following
