- Basic Love Spell:
-
- 1. Purification: Don't do drugs. Don't smoke. Don't drink too much.
- Don't overeat, and don't starve yourself. Exercise. Go to your
- classes. Make your mind and your body as functional and integrated as
- possible in this step.
-
- 2. Initiation: Select a site where the caster and the subject are
- likely to meet, perhaps along a common path or a class. Begin the
- ancient ritual of friendly conversation without ulterior motive (note:
- ulterior motive is the main cause of failure for this part of the
- spell.) Use said friendly conversation to note likenesses and
- differences between the caster and the subject. Step #2 may need to be
- repeated several times before the caster (and the subject) are ready
- to move on to step #3.
-
- 3. Socialization: Offer attendance at some social occasion together,
- such as a large gathering of partygoers or moviegoers or bowlinggoers
- or bungeejumpinggoers. Proper execution of steps #1 and #2 will guide
- you as to the correct path to choose in this step. Insert also brief
- usage of step #2, as the said social engagement will now become a said
- common place for the caster and the subject to meet.
-
- 4. Purification mark II: Do nothing to endanger the subject's trust in
- you. Proper execution of this step is largely dependent on what you
- learn in step one.
-
- 5. Initiation mark II: By this time the caster and subject should be
- good friends, or at very least familiar with one another. The caster
- should at this point introduce to the subject the topic of a deeper
- relationship, possibly involving sharing meals regularly, meeting each
- other's parental units, sharing living space, sharing secrets, sharing
- sex, etc. Not necessarily in that order, and at a gentle pace.
-
- 6. Decision: Are there any doubts in the caster's mind? Should he
- terminate the spell or take it to a conclusion? Is the subject
- willing?

- hope those who take the "Do what thou wilt" saying seriously see the
- truth under the gentle sarcasm...

-
- Hmm. Sounds to me like he's trying to exchange friendship (very hard
- to come by) for some quick sex. Bad trade.
-
- Also, rephrase the request a bit. He wants to overcome her Will and
- impose himself on her by force. Not nice, even though we're not
- talking about physical force (hopefully!).
-
- However, many of us here are not nice. Herwith, my never-fail love
- charm, translated from the original Chaldean:
-
- (*)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 2.25 cup unsifted white flour 1 cup chopped nuts (**)
-
- Cream butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually
- beat into creamed mixture. Carefully stir in chips and nuts. Drop by
- teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F or
- until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from sheet.
-
- Present, with suitable expressions of affection and humility, to
- subject while still warm. (The Charm, not the Mage, stupid! :-)
-
- (*) Substitution of ingredients, sometimes practiced by the
- spiritually less advanced, imperils the whole Charm. In particular,
- substituting rasins for chocolate chips places the Immortal Soul of
- the Mage in dire danger.
-
- (**) Mystical opinion is divided on the subject of nuts. The Mage
- must consult the stars for the particular occasion in question.
