The symbol of the knot relates to tying something
together, or to keep something stable. Stability
in astrological magick would include the fixed
signs of Aquarius(air); Leo(fire); Taurus(earth);
and Scorpio(water). With this in mind, you could
cast this spell when the moon is in any of these
signs (check your magickal or planetary almanac),
or you could fine-tune your enchantment by
considering the nature of the sign. Air speeds,
fire encompasses, water cleanses and earth roots.
Call on the four elements to ensure success.
Supplies: Four ribbons, 17 inches long, in red,
white, green, and blue. (red for passion, white for
purity, green for growth, and blue for wisdom); 2
small bells to thread on the ends of the ribbons;
perfume or aftershave; a lock of your own hair.
Instructions: Cleanse, consecrate, and empower all
items. Take the ribbons and place one on top of the
other, ends matching. recite the following as you
tie each knot, beginning in the center of the
ribbon bunch and working outward on each side:
With knot of one, this loves begun
With knot of two, love shines through.
With knot of three, love comes to me.
With knot of four, my heart will soar.
With knot of five, this spell's alive.
With knot of six, the love is fixed.
With knot of seven, by blood and kin,
this spell is cast and love comes in!
Force and form attend to me,
as I will, so mote it be!
Thread a bell on each end of the ribbon bunch.
Attach your lock of hair. Spray ribbon with perfume
or aftershave saying:
The breath of the Goddess sparks the flame.
True Love lives and knows my name.
Tie ribbon bunch around ankle, wrist, onto your
purse, or place in your pocket. Each night for
seven nights, repeat the "The breath of Goddess"
charm seven times while swinging the ribbons in a
clockwise direction. One the eighth night, hang the
ribbons over your bed and leave them there. Anytime
you lose confidence, ring the bells. Don't forget,
love magick requires patience!
