This Herbal Love Spell is a simple ritual intended to encourage new romance and support affection in a natural way. Each part of the spell has a specific meaning and purpose, working together to help focus your intentions.
The following items are needed: a small basil plant, some earth or potting soil, one rose quartz crystal, and a red flower pot. Basil is often linked to love and attraction. Rose quartz is considered a stone of unconditional love. The color red is associated with passion and vitality, and earth helps ground your intentions.
To begin, it is helpful to cleanse your items. This can be done by rinsing the crystal, wiping the pot, or holding each item and imagining them surrounded by clear, bright light.
On the front of the red flower pot, write your name and the name of the person you are thinking of. Use a permanent marker or paint. While writing, focus on the idea of mutual affection and growth.
When the moon is nearly full, which is a time often connected with attraction and manifestation, place the rose quartz crystal at the bottom of the pot. This step is thought to add loving energy to the ritual.
Next, fill the pot with earth, covering the crystal, and plant the basil gently. As you do this, picture your relationship growing and becoming stronger, just as the basil will grow.
While planting, you may choose to say: “By earth and stone and Mother Earth, to love and passion now give birth.”
Water the basil regularly. Each time you water it, you can repeat the chant if you wish. Taking care of the plant represents your ongoing commitment to the relationship.
For best results, place the pot where it will get sunlight, and look after the plant with care. This spell is meant to help you focus your intentions, not to control another person’s choices. Allow love to develop naturally, and trust the process.
