Sugar Jar Love Spell

Recipe by Limeberry

Attract your perfect love with sugar, a blend of herbs and a powerful chant over a candle.

INGREDIENTS

Jar
Sugar
Any combination of the following herbs/essential oils (use your nose and gut instincts when choosing): Rose, Hibiscus, Lavender, Jasmine, Chamomile, Vanilla, Orange, Lemon, Basil, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Oregano
Small piece of paper
Red ink pen
Rose quartz
Pink or Red candle

DIRECTIONS

Light your candle.
What you write on your paper will depend on your intentions:
– If you are looking to strengthen love or to attract a specific person, write your partner’s name and date of birth. Draw a circle around it.
– If you are looking for new love write a few characteristics/qualities you would like your future love to have.
– If you are working on self-love write your own name and some qualities you need to take more pride in, or anything you are wishing for for yourself – in the present-tense.
Roll your paper into a scroll and seal it with a few drops of wax from your candle (you could also wrap the scroll with red or pink ribbon/ thread if you’d prefer). Add the scroll to the jar.
Combine and add your ingredients (along with the rose quartz) to fill the jar and cover the scroll.
Take a tiny pinch of the sugar mixture and sprinkle it around your candle. Seal your jar and hold it while you watch the flame and recite:
“Flickering fire, burning bright
I share with you sweet dreams tonight.
Beneath this moon, shining, glowing,
Love for me is quickly growing,
A heart is sweetened, change is near,
The Universe smiles, Love is here!
By the powers of the Earth, Wind, Fire and Sea,
This is My Will and So It Shall Be!”
Allow the candle to go out on it’s own (or extinguish it if planning to re-use). Keep the jar by your bed when you sleep.
Light a candle and repeat the spell once a week with a tiny pinch of your sugar mixture.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today starts off upbeat and joyful! However, as the day wears on, you and people around you might be cranky. Frankly, if you have social plans, you will be better off celebrating on Friday. (Just saying.) Timing is everything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This morning life looks promising. However, later in the day, you might find yourself having money squabbles or problems with debt, credit, disputed inheritances and insurance issues. Ouch. It’s a challenging day. (Things look better at the end of the week.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Practice patience and tolerance today when dealing with partners and close friends. This morning will be easy because everyone’s in a good mood. But as the day wears on, grumpiness sets in and tempers might flare. Just a thought: Friday night is a much better night to celebrate Valentines.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Work-related travel is likely for some of you, especially earlier in the day. You might be encouraged by working with groups because this will help you get a lot done. Difficulties with coworkers, pets and perhaps health issues might arise later in the day. And so it goes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This starts out like a seriously feel-good day! You are up for fun and social occasions. (Many of you are celebrating Valentines.) The truth of the matter is that this week, Friday is a better day to go out and have fun. Do with that what you will. (I’m going out Friday.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This morning, you might get help from others or encouraging financial news that looks promising for you, your family situation or your home. A group might even gather where you live. However, as the day wears on, difficulties with authority figures (including parents) are challenging. Oh dear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is one of those days. It begins on a happy note for you. You feel upbeat and warm to others. “Hail fellow, well met!” However, as this day wears on, you might find yourself at odds with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You personally might feel grumpy. That’s no fun. (Friday is a fun day.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Business and commerce are favoured this morning; in fact, money issues look promising! Nevertheless, this day turn’s completely around because later in the day, squabbles about money, property and possessions will likely take place. Bummer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which means you have an edge over all the other signs. In fact, this morning you feel upbeat and encouraged about social possibilities perhaps a date on Valentines? Actually, the truth of the matter is that Friday is a much better day to celebrate Valentines than today. Factoid.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel quite content this morning, even hopeful. Unfortunately, as this day wears on, you will experience some dark clouds on your horizon. Arguments with work colleagues along with health issues and problems with pets might be a handful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Power breakfasts and lunch meetings will go well today because you are a happy camper, especially dealing with friends and groups. However, later in the day, romantic squabbles as well as difficulties with kids are a challenge. (Note: Friday is a lovely day to celebrate Valentines.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You make a wonderful impression on bosses, parents and VIPs today. In fact, discussions earlier in the day might lead to a boost in your income. (We like!) Trust your moneymaking ideas. However, as the day wears on, difficulties with family members might arise. Chaos and challenges on the home front are likely. Cope as best you can.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Enrico Colantoni (1963) shares your birthday today. You are saucy, playful and forever youthful. You have your own particular style. You’re willing to try new things and test the limits. This year is full of exciting changes and a chance to expand your personal freedom. Explore new opportunities. Trust your intuition. You might travel more.

February 14, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the February 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on February 14 has an illumination of 41%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On February 14 the Moon is 23.02 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

A Thought for Today

When we have positive thoughts positive results do happen.

This includes finding Mr. or Ms. Right for you. Lord Beltane, or Big Dawg as he prefers to be called, and I dated from a year back in 2000 to 2001, I then broke it off for a man I thought was more stable and better for me. Boy was I wrong I allowed myself to be verbally, emotionally, and mentally abused for 19 years then the last straw came when in anger he destroyed an entire rack full of clean dishes, cups, and glass ware. He had lost his temper many times before but only pushed me once. When putting these two things together and having a history of domestic abuse with other boyfriends and husbands I finally found the excuses I was making of why I couldn’t move out were just that lame excuses. Thanks to some very dear friends and a cousin of mine I was able to move out the beginning of July 2020 and start life as what I thought would be a single woman the rest of this lifetime. So fast forward to September 2020 Big Dawg found me on Facebook through a mutual friend and start out by messaging through there than went to text messages and by the end of the month talking nightly on the phone. I moved in with him at the end of November 2020 and we are trying to plan a very small summer wedding and Handfasting. We have not had a major argument or even screaming to get a point across in the over two years we have lived together. It took us 19 years to find each other again but we both had for a lack of a better term growing up to do.

A little back history of why we are waiting so long to get married and handfasted. See back when we were first dating, he was married with two grammar school age children, NO I did not know this right away or I never would have dated him in the first place. Big Dawgs divorce was finalized in August 2022. I was also married and technically until my divorce is final hopefully by sometime in April, but my husband (not the abusive boyfriend of 19 years) and I have been separated since right after new year in 2000. I left him because he started using heavy duty drugs again among other very not nice reasons.

As you can see in my case taking positive steps to first love and be kind yourself Mr. or Ms. Wonderful maybe around a corner you turn one day. Love is patience and kind.

From US In the Background at WoTC We are Sending This From Our Families to Yours…

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Love

Love Magic: The Best Tools & Correspondence for Love Spells

Roses are red, violets are blue, I radiate love, through and through. A simple little love spell perhaps? Well, it’s February and love magic is in the air!

So, not everyone is a huge fan of Valentine’s Day but I say bring it on! I like to consider February love month. It’s a perfect time to focus on fostering positivity and love in your life, and to indulge in some extra self love and care. We can take this time to create new healthy habits, enhance our most special relationships, and discover new ways to focus on nurturing our own wants and needs.

This time of year is just perfect to indulge in the magic that is love. Commercially, the month tends to focus on couples but everyone can benefit from celebrating love once in a while. We can all choose to thrive this month while fostering love and positive relationships with friends, family, pets, and of course with ourselves.

Love Magic: They Love Me, They Love Me Not

Love magic is probably one of the most popular things people want to learn about when they begin their journey into magic. This is a magic that should be beautiful, gentle, warm, and soothing. We all need that feeling of love in our lives in order to feel emotionally strong and vibrant.

What it isn’t however, or shouldn’t be, is an opportunity to bend or manipulate the will of others. The wonderful energy that can blossom from this type of magic should indeed be used to bring more love and fulfillment into your life but not at the expense of others.

Use this magic with wisdom and care. Direct the magic inwards to gather more love for yourself, to draw more love to you, or to grow nourish, and strengthen relationships. Allow the magic to come from a caring and well intentioned place.

So, what elements may we include in these types of spells and rituals? Very happy you asked! Scroll down and keep on reading

A Laugh for Today – Marriage Jokes

Live on the fun side of marriage with our wife jokes and funny husband jokes.

Marriage can be tough. But for better or for worse, these marriage jokes and wedding puns will have you doubling over laughing. Check out our collection of love jokes* for an extra laugh. (* Coming tomorrow)

MAKE ME A SANDWICH

My husband and I were daydreaming about what we would do if we won the lottery. I started: “I’d hire a cook so that I could just say, ‘Hey, make me a sandwich!’” Thomas shook his head. “Not me. I already have one of those.” —Julie Phelan

SELL IT

As my wife and I prepared for our garage sale, I came across a painting. Looking at the back, I discovered that I had written “To my beautiful wife on our fifth anniversary. I love you … Keith.” Feeling nostalgic about a gift I’d given her 25 years earlier, I showed it to her, thinking we should rehang the picture. After gazing at my message for a few seconds, she replied, “You know, I think a black marker would cover over all that so that we could sell it.” Keith Chambers

IN THE BIRDS SECTION

I was perusing the shelves at a bookstore when a customer asked an employee where the birding section was. After pointing it out, the employee asked, “Is there anything specific you’re looking for?” “Yes,” said the customer. “My husband.” —A.H. via rd.com

DON’T SEND HIM BACK

On my wedding day, my mom told my bride, “No refunds, no exchanges on sale items.” —Glen Zeider

FORGOT ABOUT THE GIFT

My friend Garrick had the solution to forgetting his wife’s birthday and their wedding anniversary: He opened an account with a local florist and provided it with both dates as well as instructions to send flowers and a card signed “Your loving husband, Garrick.” For a few years, it worked. Then one day, Garrick came home on their wedding anniversary. He saw the flowers on the dining room table and said, “What nice flowers. Where did you get them?” —Yefim M. Brodd

ONLY WOMAN THERE

A local lumberyard was having an open house, and my mother really wanted to go. Dad, though, had no interest. After badgering him with no luck, she finally said, “If you don’t go, I’ll be the only woman there.” Dad shrugged. “If I go, you’ll still be the only woman there.” —Gerald E. Bronnenberg

A Thought for Today – Poem “I Go”

Written by: Zakhe Michael Mcunu

I GO

I go where love is the key
I go where only hope seize
Let me go to the eternity
Where I will see splendid beauty
The beauty of stars and angels
Where the flowers blossom like in summer

There in the fallen misty mountains
There i shall see the great plains of Africa
And little houses looking like ants colonies
I go where all turmoil shall vanish
This is the home of all the kings of ancient times

Come with me so our names shall be remembered
Follow me to the bliss of pagan souls
Come hear how they are chanting your name
Hear the captain at the end of the bridge
