The Copper Love Charm is a traditional ritual intended to attract love and strengthen romantic bonds. This practice uses copper, Venus, and the color green, all of which are commonly linked to love, harmony, and attraction in various magical traditions. For those new to witchcraft, this ritual provides a clear, step-by-step approach to spellwork, focusing on intention, repetition, and symbolic action.
The following items are required for this ritual:
- Seven copper pennies, symbolizing prosperity and the enduring qualities of copper.
- One copper bracelet, representing unity and the ongoing flow of affection.
- One green candle, associated with Venus and the heart chakra.
- A green velvet pouch, which will hold and focus your intentions.
To begin, select the night of the new moon, as this phase is traditionally connected to new beginnings and setting intentions. Arrange all the items on your altar or on any clean, quiet surface if you do not have a formal altar.
Next, cast a magick circle to create a protected and sacred space. This helps to focus your energy and minimize distractions. Light the green candle, and as you do so, visualize your desire for love and connection. You may choose to recite the following invocation:
Power of Venus on this night
Work my will by candlelight
Bring to me the one I see
As I will So Mote It Be.
Place the copper bracelet inside the green pouch. Take one copper penny, hold it to your lips, and kiss it gently. This action is intended to transfer your intention into the coin. As you do this, you may say:
Bright and shining one of love,
Descend to me from above.
Attend to me and work my will,
With great passion my love fulfill.
By my side forever strong,
For this is what I crave and long.
Put the kissed penny into the pouch with the bracelet. This step is repeated each night, gradually building the energy and focus of your intention.
Place the pouch next to the burning candle. Allow the candle to burn for one hour. During this time, meditate on your desired outcome. Visualization is important—imagine the feelings of love, connection, and joy as if they are already present in your life.
After one hour, extinguish the candle safely. Open your magick circle to symbolically close the space, but leave the altar and items undisturbed. This helps maintain the continuity of the spell’s energy.
Repeat the entire process for six more nights, each time adding a new penny to the pouch and reinforcing your intention. On the seventh and final night, allow the candle to burn out completely. This marks the completion of the ritual.
When the ritual is finished, collect the leftover wax from the candle and shape it into a heart. Press all seven pennies into the wax heart, creating a physical symbol of your intention. Keep this heart in a safe, private place as a talisman.
On the following day, give the copper bracelet to your loved one. According to tradition, this act seals the spell and invites lasting affection and connection.
For beginners, it is helpful to remember that focused intention is the most important part of any ritual. Take your time with each step, and do not worry if you make a mistake. Simply pause, ground yourself, and continue. Consistency and sincerity are more valuable than perfection. Always practice with respect for yourself and others, and keep in mind that true magic works in harmony with free will.
