3 Spells to Clear the Way for Love

Prepare yourself for love, become more receptive to love, and vibrate at the frequency of love with one of these simple and effective love spells.

This is an excerpt from my new book, Little Guide to Love Magic: Everything You Need to Know Including Love Spells.

Perhaps you’ve been out of the romance loop for so long that you want a little warm-up before you jump back in, or maybe a recent relationship challenge is holding you back from being open and receptive to love.

If you know you want to draw love into your life, but you also know you could use a little energetic preparation first, these spells are for you.

Spell #1: Steady Yourself for Love

If love hasn’t been a priority for you lately for whatever reason, but now you’re ready to change that, this spell will shift your vibration to one of receptivity so you will be ready to magnetize the love you want.

Gather these items:

• A white candle
• 1-2 drops essential oil of patchouli (or vetiver, if you’re not a fan of patchouli)
• 1/4 cup sea salt
• The petals from one white rose

On the morning, day, or evening of a new moon, illuminate your bathroom pleasantly (perhaps with natural light, recessed light, or twinkle lights) and light the candle as you draw a warm bath.

Add the essential oil and dissolve the salt in the water by swirling the water in a clockwise direction. Scatter the rose petals across the water.

Before getting in the water, say:

With the Divine as my witness, I am now steadying myself for love.

Soak for at least ten minutes while breathing deeply and relaxing. Feel, imagine, and sense that you are releasing any blocks to healthy love and romance (you don’t need to know what they are) and opening up to the energy of love. Allow yourself to happily anticipate your immediate future, knowing that wonderful romantic conditions are just around the corner.

Just before you get out of the water, say:

I am steady, I am ready, I am clear. Thank you. And so it is.

Before draining the water, remove the rose petals. Extinguish the candle, dry off, and dress in something clean and comfortable. Place the rose petals at the base of a tree. (If this is not possible, a composite heap or yard waste bin will do.)

Spell #2: Heal a Broken Heart

The heart will not be rushed. While broken hearts heal in their own time, this spell will magically support the healing process.

You will need these items:

• A rose quartz pendant
• A kelly green or emerald green set of sheets
• Rose water in a mister

During a waning moon, it’s ideal if you can completely and safely dunk yourself in a clean, natural body of water. (Many natural bodies of water are not safe, so please don’t do this unless you’re certain you’ll be okay.) If you’re not able to get to a safe, clean natural body of water, then completely immerse yourself in a cold bath or shower. (You only have to stay in for a second or two.) As you emerge, feel that you are leaving old heaviness and pain behind and allowing your heart to be reborn.

Afterward, dry off and dress in something clean and preferably white. Hang the rose quartz pendant around your neck.

For the next thirty days, wear your pendant and sleep in your green sheets. (Wash them weekly or as frequently as you usually wash your sheets.) Also, mist your face and heart with rose water last thing at night and first thing in the morning.

Rose quartz heals the heart, bright green is the color of the heart chakra, and rose water bolsters the heart. All three will work together dynamically to support the healing of your heart.

Spell #3: Cleanse Old Relationship Energy

If you’ve recently ended a relationship, or if you feel stuck on or overly connected to an old flame, or if you tend to fall into recurring relationship patterns that you’re ready to release, this spell will open you up to new possibilities and more positive romantic conditions by getting those old frequencies and patterns out of your energetic field.

Before you begin, be sure you’ve cleared out of your home any old items that were gifts from, belonged to, or remind you of old flames. Also delete any remaining old emails and texts from ex-partners, and remove them from your phone, email, and social media contacts.

For this spell, you will need the following items:

• Copal incense (I like Fred Soll’s Magical Copal)
• A plate or dish

During a waning moon, safely light the incense and hold the plate or dish beneath it to catch any burning embers. Cleanse your entire aura by wafting the smoke around your body. Now move through each room and area of your living space and cleanse your home with the smoke as well. As you do so, feel that you are completely banishing and transmuting any old stuck or challenging energy related to relationships. Finish by opening your front door and cleansing the entire threshold with the smoke to symbolize that the way is clear for an ideal new relationship and relationship pattern to come in. Feel grateful and joyfully expectant. Safely extinguish the incense.
