13 Wonderfully WitchyWays to Celebrate Valentines Day

Valentine's Day may not be thought of as a particularly "witchy" holiday but if there is one thing that connects us all as human beings that is this crazy little thing called "LOVE". I have compiled the following list of ways you can make your Valentine's Day very witchy indeed.

• Love Spell What better time to do a love spell than on Valentine's day? Do a spell to sweeten your current relationship with a honey jar spell or if you are single do a spell to attract your perfect mate.

• Love Altar I love decorating and designing an altar especially if there is a theme as beautiful as love involved. Make a beautiful altar to honor love or even the goddess of love. Use roses, love quartz, and other correspondences to love. Incorporate shades of pink and red. Make it as elaborate or as simple as you please

• Love Potion You can make a love potion made from honey and cinnamon and filled full of your loving intention. It can then be added to coffee or tea.

• Love Sigil Create your very own love sigil. This sigil can then be placed on love notes to your significant other or even be the focus of a love spell and burned.

• Dream/Love Sachet Place in a small red or pink sachet, red rose petals for passion, lavender for peace, calendula for positivity, rose quartz for love, and mugwort and valerian for the dream aspect. Next, add a small photo of yourself and a lock of your hair and a lock of your lover's hair bound together with red or pink thread. You will sew the sachet inside of your lover's pillow so that they have sweet dreams of you.

• Love Tarot Reading You and your love can get love tarot card readings done or, even better, each of you can create your own love spread and then do a reading for one another. This is a fun idea and a great way to do something creative together.

• Love Herbal Mix Choose herbs, flowers, and crystals that correspond to love either traditionally or according to the way you see fit. You can place this mix in beautiful jars or small bowls with ribbon or in sachet bags and give them as Valetine's Day gifts.

• Love Anointing Oil Make love anointing oil from one or all of the following essential oils: rose, lavender, sweet orange, cinnamon, jasmin and or ylang ylang. Add a pinch of rose petals, lavender or jasmin blossoms if you so desire. You can even add a small piece of rose quartz. This smells amazing and can be used to anoint candles in love spells or even used as a perfume to attract love (patch test first), warmed as an incense or used as an offering.

• Love Kitchen Witchery Make a delicious meal on Valentine's Day for your love. While you are making the meal put your intention into it by adding ingredients to "spice" or "heat" things up in a passionate way such as cinnamon, ginger and cayenne. Use ingredients to protect and strengthen your love such as rosemary and basil. Use ingredients to keep away negativity such as sage. You can write the word "love" directly onto a bay leaf with a food safe marker and add it to a soup. This is an easy way to incorporate your craft into your daily life as well.

• Self Love Poppet In order to love another you must first love yourself. Make a self love doll to represent you. Now treat yourself with the highest of respect. Speak to yourself kindly. Lift yourself up daily. Be forgiving of and loyal to yourself and in so doing you will treat others the same way. This makes for a long lasting strong relationship.

• Make Clay Love Altar Tools Using air dry clay, make a bowl, plate and or incense burner to use on your altar. Add rose, lavender and or calendula to the clay and allow your pieces to dry completely. When your clay dries you will see the beautiful specks of flower throughout the design. Next, paint the word love on each piece with red or pink paint. Now you have a set of altar tools that correspond to love for your next working.

• Male/Female Candles Make love candles using male/female molds. Use red or pink dye to color your wax. Add some hibiscus flowers for passion, rose for love and to really ignite things in the bedroom add a few drops of cinnamon oil. Now use your loaded candles in a love spell facing each other to improve your relations or you can do a love binding spell if you are in a committed relationship.

• Fidelity Charm Bags Make charm Bags for fidelity for you and your love using Adam and Eve root as your main componant. Adam and Eve root has two pieces which are a male piece and a female counter part. This root is used to keep couples faithful and focused on each other. It drives away outside influence that may otherwise ruin your relationship. Place inside bag the appropriate piece of Adam and Eve root, rye grass which is traditionally used for fidelity, red rose petals for love and passion and a blue crystal for truth and integrity. Keep your bag and give the other to your partner.

So you see there are many ways to have a wonderfully witchy Valentine's Day. And the possibilities are truly endless. I hope everyone who reads this will try at least one of these things. And remember love is for everyone. For where there is love, there is a multitude of joy and there can never be too much this.
