Q: How Can I Learn to Trust in Love Again?




A:  When you've been badly hurt in love, you may feel that you'll never trust anyone again. It is only natural to want to take some time out of relationships in order to heal and regain a proper perspective on life. However, if you need a little help with the healing process, try this gentle potion.

Checklist:
Best to use on a Monday, at the New moon.
How often; This wonderfully soothing rite can be used whenever it is needed.

You will need:
  • Almond Oil
  • Wheat germ oil
  • Rose, bergamot, and geranium essential oils
  • A dark glass bottle with a cover
  • A sheet of paper and a pen
  • A green candle
  • 2 White candles

Mix together two tablespoons of almond oil and two drops of wheat germ oil in a bowl, to form a base oil.

Add three drops of each of rose, bergamot, and geranium essential oils and mix by stiring them clockwise with your finger, saying the following three times:

Potion mix, potion start
Potion blend to heal my heart.

Decant the oil into a dark glass bottle but leave the cover off. Next, draw an upward pointing pentagram on some paper and place on your altar.

Put the bottle of healing oil on top. Form a triangle around the bottle with one green candle at the back and two white candle at the sides. Light the candles and envision spiraling golden energy being drawn from above and below into the triangle and into the bottle.

Chant:
Healing come, healing start
Mend the break across my heart
Magick powers, below and above
Restore again my trust in love, 
For as long as the candles burns,
Let this mill of magick turn.

Let the candles burn out. Put the cover on the bottle. label it, and store in a cool place. every night before you sleep, anoint your heart chakra with the oil and say:

I heal my heart and trust again.

The oil can also be used as a massage oil, or a few drops can be added to your bath.

Q: What Can I Do To Make Him Commit?




A: So you've been with your guy for ages and you're convinced it's a match made in heaven. You want him to commit to you for good, however, he seems oblivious to you or desires. Obviously you feel that you've waited long enough, so maybe it's time to use a little magickal persuasion to speed things along. Use this spell and you'll soon be walking up the aisle.

Sitting under the light of the full moon, take a garter and sew onto it all those symbolic wedding decorations, including a ring.
Spread them around the garter's circumference so that they are equidistant to each other.

When you have finished, sprinkle the charm with rose water and say:

Moon goddess, queen of heaven 
Bless this charm I make tonight.
Lend your power unto the spell
Enchant it with your holy light.
May my deepest wish can be granted
A wedded woman I would be.
May this magick garter charm my love
That he soon asks to marry me. 
.Within a year a bride I'll be,
And harm none, So Shall it be.

Q: Where Do Witches Come From



A: It's no mystery where witches come from. Witches are people. We come from regular families and homes like everybody else. But our history, our roots, are another story. Our roots are tangled and hidden. Not everybody knows where they start or where our family tree is growing.


I think that wherever there were people, there were witches. Wherever tribes of people gathered, there were people who understood the need to be connected to nature and the spirit world and to use that connection. to help the tribe. In other cultures, these people are called shamans and medicine people, but in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe they are the ancestors of the witch. I look back to the Stone Age as the start. Evidence of a Goddess-reverent Stone Age culture exists, and many witches look to this time as the start of witchcraft. Many statues of ancient Goddess images survive into our time.

Human culture developed from Stone Age nomadic tribes to agricultural civilizations. Some witches remained on the outskirts of these civilizations, becoming the cunning men and wise women, while others formed groups of priests and priestesses in ancient cultures like Egypt, Sumer, Greece and Rome. They became the Druids of the Celtic people and the seers and rune masters of the Teutonic people.. All of these cultures have influenced the modern revival of witchcraft.Many think of Wicca as only being Celtic, but our roots really reach into many cultures. In each of these lands, the power of magick and service to the community survived, en though these cultures themselves clashed together in the building of empires and the migrating of tribes.

Once we inter the Common Era of history-- referred to by many scholars and most pagans with the abbreviation CE, but others in the world use the initial AD, Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord" --the role of the witch changes. The Common Era is marked by the birth of Jesus Christ for many in the Western world. Christianity started as a cult that was persecuted, but eventually it became the official religion and unifying force throughout Europe during the decline of the first Roman Empire, finally paving the way for the Holy Roman Empire.

During the reign of the Holy Roman Empire, we find the strongest evidence of the witch hunts. Modern witches call this period the "Burning Times." The persecution was started by the Roman Catholic Church but continued later by other religious and secular authorities. Some scholars believe the persecutions actually started in the later era of the Roman Empire, as rulers were afraid of being poisoned by those who held knowledge of the plants that healed and harmed, such as the folk witches.

The Catholic Church adopted the persecutions, adding a religious context to it and continuing with a fervor. Many people were persecuted for the crime of witchcraft and were often put to death by horrible methods, even though most had nothing to do with true witchcraft. The victims included Jews, Muslims, heretical Christians, midwives, herbalist, homosexuals, and many other who where simply not considered socially acceptable. Their deaths included pressing, drowning, hanging, and burning. It was Europe's first holocaust.

At these times, we find the worst smear campaigns against witchcraft. In an effort to fit old beliefs into the fairly new Christian mythology, witchcraft was described as Satanism, a perversion of Christianity. In truth, most witches, then and now, do not  believe in the Devil. In fact, many modern Satanists do not believe in an entity known as Satan. In witchcraft, our beliefs predate the notion of the Christian Devil, and we look at this supposed force of ultimate evil as a social and political scapegoat for the horrors of the Middle Ages. Even more sadly, the majority of victims had nothing to do with true witchcraft or Satanism. Some were folk healers and medicine women, but most were Christians and were killed due to politics, money, or paranoia.

The persecutions continued for the life of thee Holy Roman Empire and followed the European settlers to America, most famously in the Salem witch trials. The settlers were plagued with the same paranoia and fear that swept through Europe, causing the imprisonment and death of many people in this American settlement. Recent Recent evidence suggests the paranoia was due, at least in part, to ergot poisoning. Ergot, a fungus affecting grain, can induce hallucinations, and ergot seems more prevalent in the areas and time of the witch trials.

Finally, reasonable voices rose to power in Europe and America. We entered into a period of reason and logic. It ended the persecutions, but it did little to keep magick alive. Science and technology began to dissect the physical world, and for some, despite their benefits, they took the magic and mystery out of the unknown world. Things like spellcraft, witches, faeries, and spirits became folklore and make-believe. The only way witchcraft survived was in fragments of magickal books and through family traditions kept in secret.

The Craft of the witch was revived in the twentieth century. The laws banning witchcraft in England were repealed mid-century, because people thought them old and superstitious, but it helped those in their beliefs. An interest in the mystical grew in both Europe and America, starting what we now call the New Age movement. Spiritual seekers studied medieval manuscripts, shamanism, crystals, and herbs with a desire to find a spiritual practice that was holistic and healthy. From England, traditions of witchcraft grew and spread, changing along the way with the changes in culture, time, and people. Soon books were being printed about witchcraft so people could learn about it and find ways to practice it, with or without formal teachers and covens. The witchcraft family tree branched out in many directions. Now there are almost as many traditions and forms of witchcraft as there are witches.

Q: Can Sex Magick Improve Other Areas Of My Life?



 A: Sex magick and magickal sex are often associated with the ancient Eastern belief system of tantra. In fact tantra encompasses more than mystical beliefs, such as the principles of meditation, yoga, and ritual, and it is a term that is often misunderstood. Nevertheless, tantric sexual practices have had much to teach the West about the power and beauty of sexual energy.

Here is a small and simple ritual adapted from Eastern wisdom that can be used to improve your life through harnessing the power of your own sexuality. However, as it is a ritual done in the spirit of love and sharing, do not use its power anything selfish or abusive.

Items needed:
  • Frankincense essential oil
  • Almond oil
  • A loving and willing sexual partner (optional)
  • A red candle
Checklist:
Best to use: When you have a particular, important goal in mind, or for healing or helping others.
How often: Not to often - this can be a very powerful form of magick and should not be overused.

Mix one drop of frankincense essential oil with two teaspoons of almond oil and put aside for later. Before your night of pleasure, prepare yourself by taking a long, dreamy, candlelit bath full of your favorite scent. Spend your soaking time visualizing what it is that you want to achieve. Upon getting out, wrap yourself in a bathrobe until dry. Place a dab of the frankincense and almond oil on your finger and anoint your body in the following three places; the third eye; over the heart; and just below your navel. As you do so, affirm the following: saying,

I anoint myself for this magical rite
The power I shall raise this night 
Is for the purpose of [state your purpose].
So shall it be
So shall it be
So shall it be.

Just before making love - either with a partner or yourself, light a red candle. Remember that the sexual act should be loving and not rushed; it is not merely the means to an end. At the point of orgasm, visualize your needs again strongly - I admit, this may take a little practice and imagine all of you released energy taking your wish out into the universe. Afterward, do not dwell on what you have asked for; just let it go and see what happens

How to make a book of Shadows



The Book of Shadows (BOS) is used to store information you'll need in your magical tradition. Many Pagans and Wiccans feel a BOS should be handwritten, but some use a computer to store information as well.

Bear in mind that a BOS is considered a sacred tool, which means it is an item of power that should be consecrated with all of your other magical tools. Copy spells and rituals into your BOS by hand – this will not only transfer energy to the writer, but it also helps you to memorize the contents. Make sure you write legibly enough that you’ll be able to read your notes during a ritual!

Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Varied

Here's How:

1. To make your Book of Shadows, begin with a blank notebook. A popular method is to use a three-ring binder so items can be added and rearranged as needed. If you use this style of BOS, you can use sheet protectors as well, which is great for preventing candle wax and other ritual drippings from getting on the pages! Whatever you select, your title page should include your name. Make it fancy or simple, depending on your preference, but remember that the BOS is a magical object and should be treated accordingly. Many witches simply write, “The Book of Shadows of [your name]” on the front page.

2. What format should you use? Some witches are known to create elaborate Books of Shadows in secret, magical alphabets. Unless you’re fluent enough in one of these systems that you can read it without having to check notes or a chart, stick with your native language. While a spell looks beautiful written out in flowing Elvish script or Klingon lettering, the fact is that it’s just hard to read unless you’re an Elf or a Klingon.
When it comes to the contents of your personal BOS, there are a few sections that are nearly universally included.

3. Laws of your coven or tradition: Believe it or not, magic has rules. While they may vary from group to group, it’s a really good idea to keep them at the front of your BOS as a reminder of what constitutes acceptable behavior and what doesn’t. If you’re part of an eclectic tradition that doesn’t have written rules, or if you’re a solitary witch, this is a good place to write down what YOU think are acceptable rules of magic. After all, if you don’t set yourself some guidelines, how will you know when you’ve crossed over them? This may include a variation on the Wiccan Rede, or some similar concept.

4. A dedication: If you’ve been initiated into a coven, you may want to include a copy of your initiation ceremony here. However, many Wiccans dedicate themselves to a God or Goddess long before they become part of a coven. This is a good place to write out who you are dedicating yourself to, and why. This can be a lengthy essay, or it can be as simple as saying, “I, Willow, dedicate myself to the Goddess today, June 21, 2007.”

5. Gods and Goddesses: Depending on what pantheon or tradition you follow, you may have a single God and Goddess, or a number of them. Your BOS is a good place to keep legends and myths and even artwork concerning your Deity. If your practice is an eclectic blend of different spiritual paths, it’s a good idea to include that here.

6. Correspondence tables: When it comes to spellcasting, correspondence tables are some of your most important tools. Phases of the moon, herbs, stones and crystals, colors – all have different meanings and purposes. Keeping a chart of some sort in your BOS guarantees that this information will be at the ready when you really need it. If you have access to a good almanac, it’s not a bad idea to record a years’ worth of moon phases by date in your BOS.

7. Sabbat rituals: The Wheel of the Year includes eight holidays for most Wiccans and Pagans, although some traditions do not celebrate all of them. Your BOS can include rituals for each of the Sabbats. For example, for Samhain you may wish to create a rite that honors your ancestors and celebrates the end of the harvest, while for Yule you may want to write down a celebration of the winter Solstice. A Sabbat celebration can be as simple or complex as you wish.

8. Other rituals: If you’ll be celebrating each full moon, you’ll want to include an Esbat rite in your BOS. You can use the same one each month, or create several different ones tailored to the time of year. You may also wish to include sections on how to cast a circle and Drawing Down the Moon, a rite that celebrates the invoking of the Goddess at the time of the full moon. If you’ll be doing any rites for healing, prosperity, protection, or other purposes, be sure to include them here.

9. Herbs: Ask any experienced Pagan or Wiccan about a specific herb, and chances are good that they’ll expound on not only the magical uses of the plant but also the healing properties and history of use. Herbalism is often considered the core of spellcasting, because plants are an ingredient that people have used for literally thousands of years. Put together a section in your BOS for herbs and their uses. Remember, many herbs should not be ingested, so it’s important to research thoroughly before you take anything internally.

10. Divination: If you’re learning about Tarot, scrying, astrology, or any other form of divination, keep information in here. When you experiment with new methods of divination, keep a record of what you do and results you see in your Book of Shadows.

11. Sacred texts: While it’s fun to have a bunch of new shiny books on Wicca and Paganism to read, sometimes it’s just as nice to have information that’s a little more established. If there is a certain text that appeals to you, such as The Charge of the Goddess, an old prayer in an archaic language, or a particular chant that moves you, include it in your Book of Shadows.

12. Magical recipes: There’s a lot to be said for “kitchen witchery,” because for many people, the kitchen is the center of hearth and home. As you collect recipes for oils, incense, or herb blends, keep them in a box near your BOS. You may even want to include a section of food recipes for Sabbat celebrations.

13. Spell workings: Some people prefer to keep their spells in a separate book called a grimoire, but you can also keep them in your Book of Shadows. It’s easier to keep spells organized if you divide them up by purpose: prosperity, protection, healing, etc. With each spell you include, make sure you also leave room to include information on when the working was performed and what the outcome was.

14. The biggest dilemma with any Book of Shadows is how to keep it organized. You can use tabbed dividers, create an index at the back, or if you’re really super-organized, a table of contents in the front. As you study and learn more, you’ll have more information to include – this is why the three-ring binder is such a practical idea. Some people choose instead to use a simple bound notebook, and just add to the back of it as they discover new items.

15. You may want to use one notebook for information copied from books or downloaded off the Internet, and another for original creations. Regardless, find the method that works best for you, and take good care of your Book of Shadows. After all, it’s a sacred object and should be treated accordingly!

Tips:

1. If you find a rite, spell or piece of information somewhere else, be sure to note down the source. It will help you keep organized, and you'll start to recognize patterns in authors' works.

What You Need
• Notebook or binder
• Pens and Paper
• Sheet protectors (optional)

Q: What is circle etiquette?

A:

 When first joining a circle there are a few rules that apply, the same kind your mother taught you as a child:
  • Upon your first visit bring a small gift of some sort just to show your thanks at being invited
  • Do not leave your trash all around this person's house/church. If you brought drinks with youor munchies make sure you pick them up and dispose of them properly.
  • Do not touch anything that you are unsure of...always ask permission, they may be ritual items that are not supposed to be touch.
  • Always be polite and courteous.
  • Do not overstay your welcome... we all know how excited we get when we meet new pwople and we just want to talk and learn about each other, just remember that these people may have jobs that require them to get up early.
  • Another good thing is to not discuss with others this great new friend you found that is into the same thing as you, unless all are open and out of the broom closet.
  • Once relationships have been formed, it is a good idea to offer your dwelling as a meeting place every now and then; no one likes playing hostess all the time.
  • Always ask if you need to bring something; even if they say "no", bring some drinks or snacks you, never can have too much.
  • Do not bring drugs or alcohol into the house/church without permission; that is a major NO,NO.
  • Always walk deosil (clockwise) as opposed to Widdershins (counter clockwise) when you're in the Circle.
  • if you are asked to call a Quarter, don't whine about it, just do your best and remember that nobody is going to laugh at you (remember the Goddess has humor too).
  • If you are asked to snuff a candle or two, remember NOT to blow them out. Use some sort of candle snuffer or, for the brave, pinch them out.
  • Probably the most important thing to remember is to NOT break the Circle for any reason! If you have a wee one that is running amok through the house/church and you need to attend to him or her, ask to be let out of the Circle, your host or hostess will be more than willing to oblige by opening a gate in the Circle for you.
  • Go with the mood of the Circle... if it seems light and casual, run with that. If it seems very formal and no-chit-chatty, it's probably not a good idea to tell a joke in the middle of calling the Goddess.
  • Follow the queues of others in the group. If you are new and aren't sure what to do, just watch the others and follow their lead. But DON'T just sit there like a bump on a log, you might offend those involved, who might think that you are uninterested in being there.
  • Don't bring food or drink into the Circle unless you have a special situation (i.e. diabetic, pregnant, need to take pills etc.) or unless you were asked to do so by your host or hostess. There will be plenty of feasting after the Circle!

Q: What is the orgins of Christmas & Easter bunnies?

 

A.: On Christmas Trees & Easter Bunnies;

From the beginning of time, people noticed the movement of the sun and stars across the sky. It wasn't long before cave men noticed that one day was the shortest day every year. People thought, after this shortest day, the SUN returns. To early humanity, it seemed like the SUN was born on the day. The day became a day for great rejoicing. Hosannah! The SUN is born. We are saved from the harshness of the dark winter. People all over the world celebrated the coming of this savior, the SUN. Colored lights and evergreens became the European standard as ritual markers of this glorious event. Many pagan Gods claimed this solstice as their day of birth.

In the early fourth century, Emperor Constantine mandated Christianity as the only religion lawfully practiced in the Roman Empire. But Constantine wondered how he would convince the people to stop honoring their pagan gods with this Sun festival. (Its date was later changed from Dec 21 to Dec 25 (when the Julian calendar was adopted). Since the solstice had become a traditional birthday of many pagan gods, Constantine decided to declare the solstice to be the birthday of the god Christ. That way, when people celebrated the birthday of the SUN, who wasborn from the sea of our Mother Earth, they could officially abe celebrating the birth of the Son who  was born of an earthly human, our Mother Mary (Mar means Sea). Because the pagan temples had all been converted to become the churches of Christianity, the great god Mithra, bachelor shepherd and warrior supreme, became the vision of Jesus in people's hearts.

The Emperor and the Pope decide to destroy the writings

The Roman Emperor, tightly connected to the Pope, then set out to select specific writings of the early church. He wanted to define the scripture that would be his ruling doctrine. He knew he could rule if the people's god was on his side. Roman Emperors had a history of declaring themselves to be sons of God. If the Emperor said "Listen up. These ar the words of God", then the pleople would have no choice but to take the command literally.

The Emperor, in consort with the Pope, set up a committee to select writings which fit with his vision and viewpoint. The Emperor's committee rejected documents from early Christianity which described Mary as a young teen, between the ages of 12 and 17, giving birth in a cave, and being put on trial by the Jewish courts for pregnancy out of wedlock. They threw out documents which called Mary Magdalene at least the "consort",  if not the wife, of Jesus. They denied documents which described the mythic mishaps ascribed to Jesus as a child. The Emperor declared any document so deselected to be unlawful, either to read or to possess. The documents, and all their copies, were destroyed. For nearly two thousand years, these writings of the early Christians were lost to the world.

But the documents were preserved in caves
In 1948, a traveling Bedouin in Arabic lands stumbled across some caves filled with jars. Buried in the sand for two thousand years, the jars contained copies of the forbidden writings. Carefully and  painstakingly, some group of people had preserved them. Hundreds of documents, lovingly sealed and secretly stored, buried in the desert sands. These gospels, works of Thomas, of Philip, of apostles and students from the early days of Christianity, portrayed a different vision of Christ. These scriptures painted the picture of Christ who loved a woman, Mary Magdalene. They described a Christ whose actions might conceivably have been those of a High Priest of Isis, rather than a pious Jew. Once again, the church denied the writings and discouraged dissemination of their teachings. Which God was Jesus the Son of? the writings seemed to say. But in general, the people didn't care, for All Gods are One God, we know from the scriptures of Egypt.

In the end, people choose the God in their hearts

The religious faithful of Christianity, unaware and unconcerned with arcane questions of theology, cared not about the actions of the church to suppress these documents. They had lives to live, weddings to attend, babies to welcome, children to raise. God was in their heart, where gods belong, and the arcane details of a long ago story need not be examined or reviewed. The people rejoiced in their gift of life, and every Spring, they reveled in the miraculous resurrection of Our Mother Earth. After her long winter sleep, the first buds of Spring promised rejuvenation, and gladdened the people's hearts at the resurrection. Joyfully, the people presented their children with chocolate bunnies and colored eggs, just as the pagans for many thousands of years before them did. Spring means fertility and resurrection of the Earth, and early pagans saw bunnies and eggs as sacred symbols of the Teutonic Goddess Eostre. It was the Goddess Eostre whose feast day came on the first full moon after the vernal equinox, traditionally called the Paschal Moon. It was the Goddess, our Mother Earth, who rose from the dead every Spring. People forgot the meaning of chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. They only remembered their parents doing it, and it felt good inside and made them happy, so they continued the tradition.

We continue our traditional ways

Colored lights for Christmas, colored eggs for Easter: time honored pagan ritual. One symbolizes the birth of our savior, the SUN, the other symbolizes the resurrection of our Mother Earth. Both symbolize the power of Deity, as the people know the God in their hearts. Nothing done by the authorities of church or state could suppress these symbols from empowering the people and filling their hearts with joy.
Thus, the traditional pagan rituals marking Christmas and Easter survive.

Q: Why Do Wiccan's Pray?




A:   Prayer is one of the most profound forms of human dialogue, regardless of the language. Individual or communal, private or public, prayer is powerful! The word "prayer" means to ask for something, and it is a major communication point between the mortal and divine worlds. Prayer is deeply relaxing and a form of meditation. It stems from a yearning from within, with empathy and caring, for a connection to grow on a spiritual level because through prayer, you often learn more about who you are and your connection with the divine.

*Remember to be as specific about your intentions and goals as you can be. The more definitive you are, the more likely you will enjoy positive results.

Q: How can I make him last longer in bed?




 

How Can I Make Him Last Longer in Bed?


A: When you have spent time dolling yourself up to look seductive, and used all you best techniques on him, it is especially frustrating to have you man last just five minutes before lapsing into a snoring slumber. You want a marathon runner, not a sprinter! 

You need to increase his endurance and staying power. This is one of those cases when a bit of sympathetic magik is called for – and no, that doesn’t mean a cup of coffee and a meaningful chat.
(You will need: Air drying clay, A lock of hair or his nail clippings, A mortar and pesle, Ocher {Powder iron oxide} or powdered red paint, Powdered ginseng, Ground acorn, Ginger essential oil, soft red velvet).

To begin with, take some air-drying clay and fashion it into a small manikin to resemble your beloved. Press his hair or nail clippings into the clay as you do so, to impart his essence into the spell. I will leave it up to your artistic ability and imagination as to how you fashion his manhood!

Let the clay dry thoroughly. With a mortar and pestle mix together soe ocher, powdered ginseng, and ground acorn, grinding them all to a fine powder. This is going to be used on the genitals. So mix as much as you need for that area of you manikin. Next, add a couple of drops of ginger essential oil and stir it in until it forms a thin paste, like paint. Apply the paste to the genitals of the figure while saying:

“A little for him, a lot for me
I call upon the powers that be,
To increase his virility.
Make him last,
Make him strong,
Make my pleasure be all night long”.

Let the paint dry then wrap the figure in red velvet and keep it in a safe place in the bedroom where it will not be disturbed. The power of this spell will wane quickly – in about 24 hours – so it made need to be refreshed every so often.

Q: Can I stop him from falling asleep right away?

 

A: It's so frustrating, isn't it?

After great sex you want an intimate, loving cuddle and a chat, but instead you get a turned back and almost immediate snoring. You could try kicking him awake, but it's not very romantic and he won't be happy about the bruises. So instead, why don't you try this herbal potion, full of plants that are reputed to keep the mind fresh and active?

Lay a white handkerchief in front of you on the floor. Make sure it is clean and new for the purpose of the spell. Place a red stone in the center or the handkerchief -- red is the color of energy so its vibrations should help keep him awake. Place a single drop of patchouli essential oil on one corner of the handkerchief. Then put a drop of peppermint essential oil on the next corner, basil essential oil on the next corner, and lemon essential oil on the last corner. Gather up the edges of the handkerchief and tie the pouch together with red ribbon. Now stand up and shake the bag, feeling the stone move as you do so.

Repeat the following:

"This charm I shall shake
To keep you awake
Your company to keep
Touching and sharing
Kisses and caring 
Until at the last
We BOTH shall sleep fast".

Place the charm under the mattress, on his side of the bed, and look forward to a little caring consideration after making love.

Items needed:

A white handkerchief
A red stone, such as a carnelian or garnet
Patchouli, peppermint, basil, and lemon essential oils
A red ribbon.

Do every couple weeks to recharge handkerchief (wash & recharge).

Best to use just before you lover arrives.
