One of the most common types of spells used by magic practitioners is the love spell. While the Wiccan Rede prohibits direct manipulation of another person (that is, you cannot force her to behave in a way that she would not want on her own), love spells can still be used to open up to the loving emotions that await you in the world and make energy more likely to be returned through karma.
There are different methods to perform a love spell. It can be an elaborate affair, including a photo and candles, or as simple as making an amulet or talisman to carry with you. But there are certain herbs and plants that will make any love spell more effective.
