If you are madly in love and wish it to go full steam ahead into handfasting (Wiccan Marriage)
make him this excellent supermarket-ingredient love potion. Get yourself some orange juice, some spring water, some rose water and a dash of nutmeg-oranges are very potent symbols of love-if your partner brings you one you can be sure he adores you.
Anyway, blend a beautiful refreshing drink from the above (don’t overdo the nutmeg) and drink it with your lover-you don’t have to tell him what it’s for. Look into his eyes-you’ll see the truth there about your future once he’s downed this powerful concoction.

One long red ribbon
One red candle

Do not aim at any specific man or you will limit the scope of the spell. Now wrap your ribbon a round your right index finger and visualize the man you wish for.
2.Place the ribbon on your forehead so that it crosses your 3rd eye, (between your eyebrows)Concentrate and `see` your love with all your energy.-His looks, his eyes, his voice. Hold the image of this man in your mind and ask him to think sweet, loving thoughts of you.
3. Think of all the thoughts you want him to `send` you and try to hold them for 5 minutes.Burn the candle and do this spell for 10 minutes at the eleventh hour on a Friday(morning and evening) The harder you concentrate your energy and the more often you try this spell the better the results will be. `Send` no negative messages!
You will need:
fire rosehips
a red paper heart
Write your name and the name of the person you wish to love you upon the red paper heart. Build a fire, and when the flames are at their fullest throw in the rosehips. Concentrate and picture the person in the fire, and then say:
God and goddess, I appeal to you
From fire’s breath and love anew
Roses offered through the flames divine
Take (name of person)’s heart and make it mine!
Hold the paper heart to your heart, and then throw it into the fire. Watch it burn to ashes, and then close the spell:
God and goddess, your help I seek
To turn aside emotions weak
And help true love bind me to this,
I seal my spell with passion’s kiss!
As an ending to this ritual, for love is a dangerous thing to play with, you might
consider adding “and if it is not for the good of all, may my spell not come to pass.”
In wet weather walk over the fields and where the great white mushrooms rise up flat and wide, gather the greatest cup and carry it home.
That night, by candlelight, take a large needle and with it scratch this small, upon the mushroom’s upper skin:
Flesh of darkness Born of death
Give my will Thy life and breath
Wither dry And shrink to dust
My heart shall feed Upon thy crust
Breathe upon this inscription, and then lock the mushroom away safely for the rest of that night.
The next morning, take a sharp knife and chop the whole in to many little pieces. Spread them out in an iron pan and set them in a warm oven until they are quite dry.
Then sew them up in a bag of red cloth.
Each night thereafter, wear this charm over your heart, until the desired effect is accomplished. When it has been fulfilled, you should take the charm back to the field where you took it from and bury it in the same spot where it was gathered.
STONE LOVE SPELL
Gather seven small stones and place them in a circle.
In the middle of the circle, scatter a handful of rose petals and apple seeds.
Place a lodestone directly in the middle of the circle. Chant the following:
Rose petals and apples Dragons and stone
Draw nigh true love So I am no longer alone
Mist of the Dragon Breath of the night
Draw from the universe Perfect love that is right.

After that, keep the cord in a safe place, or give it to one of the elements, burn and scatter the ashes in the ocean or a stream.
There are any number of ways to do this spell.
You can drip water on photos of you and your beloved.
You can set a candle in a bowl of water and allow it to burn until the water extinguishes it.
You also may want to use come to Me Oil and/or incense for the spell.
However you do it, visualize your beloved arriving from afar to find your love!
Then chant the following:
Sacred water flow from me
To draw him ever near
As endless rivers run to sea
His path to me is clear.
A love that’s true once here he’ll find
And know his journey’s end.
And in his heart and soul and mind
He’ll know our lives should blend.
To establish stability in an otherwise unstable relationship, light a brown or green candle and some juniper, frankincense or neroli incense or oils.
Picture yourself and your partner standing barefoot on grass, among green hills, embellish as you deem fit. Maintain the image of your bare feet in contact with the earth, saying:
“(Your lover’s name), let no winds blow you away,
let no fairy-lure tempt you, no charms ensnare you other than my own true love.”
Then, picture green shoots rising from the ground all around you, one of them becoming an ear of corn. Take the ear of corn and grind it to powder, saying:
“Nurture what we have grown, that we may reap it together.”
Add to a cake, bread or biscuit mix, and feed it to your lover.

Put in equal parts of each of the following:
Rosemary
Lavender
Camomile
Quartz
During the Full Moon, put the bag together, then consecrate and charge it.
Inhale the scents when you feel stressed or overwhelmed. These herbs will act to soothe you if you are feeling stressed or frazzled and will help you focus your mind to deal with the problem at hand.
SPELL BINDER
This is best used at the end of a spoken or written spell.
This adds a certain boost to the releasing of energy. It also works best if you are wearing a Pentagram you have attuned to yourself.
Speak these word with all the fibers of your body while releasing the spell’s energy:
By the Pentagram I wear,
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,
Ruled by Spirit as All should be
As I speak So Mote It Be!
2 parts Sandalwood
1/2 part Basil
1/2 part Bergamot
few drops Rose oil
few drops Lavender Oil
Burn to attract love, to strengthen the love you have, and to expand your ability to give and receive love.

Definition:
In Greek mythology, the beautiful goddess Hera was queen of the Greek gods and the wife of Zeus, the king. Hera was goddess of marriage and childbirth. Since Hera’s husband was Zeus, king not only of gods, but of philanderers, Hera spent a lot of time in Greek mythology angry with Zeus. So Hera is described as jealous and quarrelsome.
Hera’s Jealousy
Among the more famous victims of Hera’s jealousy is Hercules (aka “Heracles,” whose name means the glory of Hera).
Hera persecuted the famous hero from before the time he could walk for the simple reason that Zeus was his father, but another woman — Alcmene — was his mother. Despite the fact that Hera was not Hercules’ mother, and despite her hostile actions — such as sending snakes to kill him when he was a newborn baby, she served as his nurse when he was an infant.
Hera persecuted many of the other women Zeus seduced, in one way or another.
“The anger of Hera, who murmured terrible against all child-bearing women that bare children to Zeus….”
Theoi Hera: Callimachus, Hymn 4 to Delos 51 ff (trans. Mair)
“Leto had relations with Zeus, for which she was hounded by Hera all over the earth.”
Theoi Hera: Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 21 (trans. Aldrich)
Hera’s Children
Hera is usually counted single parent mother of Hephaestus and the normal biological mother of Hebe and Ares. Their father is usually said to be her husband, Zeus, although Clark [“Who Was the Wife of Zeus?” by Arthur Bernard Clark; The Classical Review, (1906), pp.
365-378] explains the identities and births of Hebe, Ares, and Eiletheiya, goddess of childbirth, and sometimes named child of the divine couple, otherwise.
Clark argues that the king and queen of the gods had no children together.
Hebe may have been fathered by a lettuce. The association between Hebe and Zeus may have been sexual rather than familial.
Ares might have been conceived via a special flower from the fields of Olenus. Zeus’ free admission of his paternity of Ares, Clark hints, may be only to avoid the scandal of being a cuckold.
On her own, Hera gave birth to Hephaestus.
Parents of Hera
Like brother Zeus, Hera’s parents were Cronos and Rhea, who were Titans.
Roman Hera
In Roman mythology, the goddess Hera is known as Juno.
Name: Greek – Hera; Roman – Juno
Family
Parents: Cronus and Rhea
Foster Parents: Oceanus and Thetys, among others
Siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus
Mates: Zeus
Children: Ares, Hephaestus, Eileithyia, Hebe
Role of Hestia
For Humans: Hera was goddess of marriage. In later myth, Hera is treated as the queen of heaven, the female counterpart of Zeus
For Gods: Queen

Pluto’s Snakeskin Terrain
Image Credit: NASA, Johns Hopkins Univ./APL, Southwest Research Institute
Explanation: A mountainous region informally known as Tartarus Dorsa sprawls some 530 kilometers (330 miles) across this Plutonian landscape. Recently downloaded from New Horizons, it combines blue, red, and infrared image data in an extended color view captured near the spacecraft’s close approach to Pluto on July 14. Shadows near the terminator, the line between Pluto’s dim day and night, emphasize a rough, scaly texture. The stunning image resolves details on the distant world about 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) across. Refering to a part of Hades in ancient Greek mythology, Tartarus Dorsa borders Tombaugh Regio to the east.
