Herbs as Love Potions
Whether or not herbs have been associated with love because of their historical, literary, or anecdotal significance, for centuries people have turned to herbs to help them find true love, the happily ever after kind of love. Although the “happily” part has never been guaranteed, generations of shamans, sorcerers, and self-proclaimed witches have used herbs to help believers find a mate.
Use these popular love herbs to attract true love by making a sachet of equal parts of lavender flowers, caraway seeds, and myrtle tied in cheesecloth and then concealed on your person. You may carry it in a pocket, or on a string around your neck. After a few days, add dried rose petals and cardamom seed to your sachet in order to renew its potency. The addition of these last two ingredients will also make your herb packet more fragrant.
Once the sachet has done its work and you have attracted the one you love, make him a papaya tea steeped with cloves and served with strawberries to ensure that he will be yours forever.
Passion Through Love Potions
If you are looking for passion in your relationship, try increasing the amount of chili powder you use in your recipes. Cayenne pepper appears again and again in the literature of passion inducing herbs, and Christian Ratsch in his book, “Herbs of Love,” warns against over-dosage. If you have a problem with heat, carrots have also had a long history as aphrodisiacs, and would make a great addition to any special dinner.
