Becoming More Attractive
One facet of the puzzle that is “Finding Love” is how attractive you are.
Being attractive is not easy to define, as you may have already gleaned from the quote Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So how can you make yourself more attractive? This blog will give you three things to focus on. Your external appearance is the first aspect, your internal glow and your connection to the divine or universal energy.
While it is not always accurate to Judge a book by its cover you can tell the state of someone’s mind by the way they dress and how much care they take of their bodies and appearance. What can you do to create an attractive appearance?
- Make your clothes congruent with your personality, for instance find out what your natural colours are?
- If you wear make up, is it a mask or does it just enhance your looks? Whatever mask you may wear drop it, or them, as often as you can.
- And always be confident in everything you do, stand tall, use appropriate eye contact, project your voice.
- If you can stand naked in front of a mirror and look at yourself without being critical you are on your way to achieving this.
Your inner glow enhances your outward appearance. Your inner glow comes from your self-awareness and spirit.
- The more you are at peace with yourself the brighter your glow.
- The more you are grateful the more you will glow.
- The more you practice unconditional love, the brighter you glow.
- If people spontaneously come up to you and begin conversations and people you know share themselves and come to you for help then you are on your way to achieving this
To feed your inner glow you need to connect to the universal power that you believe in.
- Pray, meditate or cast spells regularly to connect with the Magick.
- See the Magick in everyday situations and look for the lesson in all situations.
- Join with others of a similar mind and share the Magick.
- If you do not need guided mediations, can connect with the divine when you choose and see the beauty and the lesson in every experience, you are on your way to achieving this.
The Inner Glow is what attracts people if you are hiding it through your appearance or fear of looking stupid then you will not come across to others as attractive. If you do not connect to the divine then you Glow will be dim not bright. If you don not love yourself then your glow will be dim and not bright.
Practice all three and you will attract bright souls into your life and your Magick will support you in all things.
Love and the Ego
One thing that can limit the success of your Love Spells is your Ego.
A person who has an over-inflated opinion of themself and what they “deserve” is a more common occurrence nowadays than it used to be. The feeling that you are owed something, especially love, creates a desperation inside that translates into whatever you do and is obvious to those around you. In terms of love this will be one of the things that is blocking you from finding your soul mate. You will be putting out a desperate call for a specific person or type of person and it will be what you want and not what you need to continue your soul journey.
The first step, to overcome this state, is to acknowledge it and let go of the desperation that you feel when you think about love. You must also ensure that you let go of your currently held belief regarding what you deserve. This can be done through direct observation of yourself and how you feel and think when you are contemplating who you want to meet and fall in love with. Each time you catch yourself thinking about love, in a way that is selfish or needy, catch yourself and let go of the feeling. Replace this with a thought of gratitude for the love that you have from yourself and from others.
Love is much easier where the ego is not involved or is not the primary driver of you desire. If you are struggling to release yourself from your ego I suggest you take a look at Sonia Choquette’s book Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose there are some wonderful but simple exercises that will connect you to the magick and align you with your Soul Purpose. There is nothing more attractive than someone who is living in line with their Soul Purpose
The Best Crystal for Love Spells
To add power and focus to your Love Spells you may choose to utilize nature’s own crystals but which are the best crystals for casting Love Spells?
Crystals should be cleansed and charged before use. You can cleanse them simply by washing in salt water but to really cleanse them and start to energize them you should use blessed water and pure salt, such as Himalayan Salt. Run the salt water over the crystal and then if possible dry in the sun for extra power.
You should next charge your crystal through chanting or affirmations, while holding the crystal and channeling energies through to it. This will infuse the crystal with your energy and positive universal energy. Once you’ve done this make sure you are the only one who touches and uses those crystals or they may lose power and connection with you. And don’t forget to give them a recharge at least once a month.
You can do no better than Rose Quartz for Love Spell casting, it is even known by some as the love stone.
Rose quartz is related to the Heart chakra and to healing of that chakra and attraction of love. Use as part of casting love spells generally and attracting your soulmate. It can also be used to help clear past loves and blockages around love and the Heart chakra. If you are in an existing relationship it can promote trust, harmony and unconditional love.
Place your cleansed and charged Rose Quartz by your bed, in your relationship corner or by your Love Altar.
Wear a Rose Quartz pendant for healing and to open your heart to make you more receptive to love. It can also support you in loving yourself more and if you have lost a loved one it can help your grieving process.
And of course you can use it as part of all love spells, easy or complex.
Overall there is no better crystal for Love than Rose Quartz and it does not just help with romantic love it is supportive and healing in all areas of love. Get some now!!
The Ethics of Love Spells
This blog entry is to let you know where I stand on the ethics of casting Love Spells. Is it right to make someone love you? Can you make someone love you? Should you cast a spell on a person already in a relationship?
My stance on this is very much a “No” to all of those questions. Why?
My beliefs in the way which magick and the universal energy generally is that it isn’t you or me that knows what we need best it is the universe or your God/Goddess. For any spell if you get too specific it is going to be harder for the universe to comply with your request, it won’t necessarily be impossible but it will take a long time, and if it is not in your destiny or it would interfere with greater things for your request to happen then you will never see it happen.
However, you want that person don’t you? That specific person that you want may have other ideas and I believe if you go forward with your love spell specifically directed at them then you will probably spend the rest of your time together casting more spells to keep patching things up and keeping them bound to you. Could you let them go? The well-known quote “If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were.” applies here. Cast a Love Spell that gives the universe choice, one that asks that you meet your soulmate and they are drawn to you.
Divination can be used here too. Whatever your chosen method (e.g. runes, tarot cards, kinesiology) consult your oracle and ask if the person you have in mind is your soulmate. Be prepared for “No” as well as a “Yes”, this is where you get to practice detachment from the outcome and trust that you are provided with what you need and not necessarily what you want (although it’s always a bonus when wants and needs coincide
).
If you are lucky enough to get a “Yes” then you could visualise that your life with that person as part of your daily routine but I would still be wary of including them in your actual spell casting, after all they are already your soulmate and it is now up to you to connect with them and help them realise you should be together.
Your other consideration here should be around what messages you are putting out into the universe and how they will be reflected back to you as they inevitably are. Are you likely to be creating good Karma or bad Karma by casting your spell, What is your intention? If you are trying to get someone already involved with another to love you, what sort of Karma is that likely to create? I think your heading for torrid times if you choose that path.
If you have a feeling of you must be with a particular person at all costs you must consider whether there is desperation in your intention to be with them. The best way to uncover this is to speak with people who can give you an unbiased opinion, use divination and take some time out from the thought that you must be with them for a period of time. Each time the thought comes up say to it you’ll deal with it next week do that until it becomes calmer and then meditate on who your soulmate is.
This blog has been brought to you by my own opinion! I’m sure you have yours and I’d love to hear it.
Connection – My Soulmate Journey – Part 2
In Part 1 of My Soulmate Journey I talked about synchronicity and its part in my early Soulmate Journey. In this, Part 2, I’m going to let you know all about the connecting of our souls that took place.
In Part 1 I left the story at the point where I had decided to go and visit and see what would happen. It’s always best to go with open mind or you will restrict the magical possibilities that can be presented to you. Anyway, I arrived at the pub to see my friends sitting there alone and then out she walked, a striking first meeting but not love at first sight, we still had our barriers up from previous relationships.
So we chatted about things like music between the four of us, disagreeing on musical tastes and favourite tunes. We took in a matinee and then went for a meal in China Town. It was then I felt we began to connect, finding things we had in common, like favourite foods and spiritual and philosophic musings. We all talked and talked and talked some more eventually getting a bus back to my friends’ house.
After a late night with more talking and a great day on the Sunday we parted with a promise that my friends and I would visit for a fancy dress party several months later. The time came for the party and at the last minute my friends were unable to go, as a consequence I decided not to either but I had written her a birthday card so I got her address and sent it anyway. She got my number from our mutual friends and called me, we talked for over an hour. what followed was six months of one hour plus phone calls as my soulmate lived some distance away.
Eventually we arranged to go hiking near her home as this was a shared interest and the best platonic reason we could think of! When the weekend came she called to say she had flu but I could come up anyway and stay, as she said I could go out and about while she was in her sick bed! I had the train ticket already and I thought “Why not?”.
When I arrived at her flat and her smile and the hug we shared was what melted my heart and that’s when our barriers dropped and our souls truly connected.
This has seemed like a long-winded story while typing it but what I learned from all this is that not everyone is ready to connect when they first meet. We were close to ready and had enough space in our life for a soulmate connection but we needed a period of time for our hearts to warm up. The tests the universe put in our paths, such as not going to her party and her having flu when I was due to go up, all made the experience of getting to know each other all the more juicy and when we finally got together that was it the connection we had been building over a distance became real and close as soon as we touched.
Sometimes it is worth waiting but following your intuition when tests come up is at least as important.
The third and final part of my Soulmate Story, at least for the minute, will be about my experiences of growth and change within the Soulmate Journey.
Synchronicity – My Soulmate Journey – Part 1
This is the story of how I met my soulmate and the journey of synchronistic events that brought us together, it’s the first of several parts of my soulmate journey.
There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller
I can only blame my parents for bringing me in touch with my Soulmate, although other were involved. Thank you so much Mum and Dad.
It started when I returned from university, needing a rest from a relationship where I had ended up taking a submissive role. It never really starts out that way but somehow when you set out to be nice and the other person sees that and chooses to take advantage you kind of end up trapped in it. My only escape was seeing that my girlfriend of three years was holding hands with another guy and I decided that was it. Even then I didn’t start a blazing row or use any physical means to get back at her. I just said “You don’t love me.” she got a bit upset and agreed so we went our separate ways.
I got back from university, single and jaded, moving back in with my parents and starting my graduate job.
After about three months my parents decided that time was right for them to retire and so they sold the house packed their bags and moved to another county. I did my usual thing of looking at one room in a shared house, thinking that’ll do and I thus moved in with 11 others. It was a great decision, the others liked to party, we had a resident DJ and everyone was very sociable.
Some time into my residency a new guy moved in, I was the only one in that particular weekend he moved in and so I took him out to sample the delights of the local hostelries. We hit it off really well and became best buddies. After a year or so of partying my friend had found himself a girlfriend and moved to a nearby city and I had bought my first house and was staying in a bit more. I called my friend to see if he was free one weekend, he said he was and that he and his girlfriend had a friend staying, that I should meet her. The “set-up” alarm bells were ringing.
I decided to go visit anyway and that’s how I first met my soulmate.
So to get us together the following things had to happen.
- My parents chose to up sticks and move out
- I picked the first place I came to to live
- I was the only one out of 10 people who were in on a weekend to show my now best buddy around town
- I called my buddy on the very weekend that my soulmate was visiting
If any one of those things had not happened or I had chosen differently I would not be with my soulmate now, over 10 years later. Looking back now at events that have gotten you where you are, if you had made a single different decision what would the different in your life be. If you are not sure about this then try watching sliding doors for a perspective on a change in events and how they affect someone’s life.
You can create more synchronicity in your life and recognise more synchronicity in your life by focussing on what you want with passion. It’s all there in The Secret or What The Bleep? Down the Rabbit Hole
, which give a great grounding in this focussing with passion, or manifesting as you might know it. The key to manifesting is focussing on what you want every day, with a strong positive emotion. by taking this approach you will begin to notice synchronicity in your life and that synchronicity will lead you to your heart’s desire, your soulmate.
In my next blog I’ll tell you how we connected and what happened next.
Breaking the Spell that Holds You Back from Love
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
Unknown
Maybe you’ve met someone already that you think is your soulmate but something is holding you back, you cannot bring yourself to speak to them or you cannot express your love.
Why?
Is it you?!
Kind of . . . it is essentially down to fear. You could be afraid of their response, afraid of their lack of response, afraid of looking stupid, afraid of them thinking you are stupid . . . the list is endless because we all have our own fears usually built up through growing up and experiencing life with all it’s ups and downs.
How can you break this fear? It takes courage . . . but you knew that. What you really want to know is “How do I get some courage?”
A great starting place is the affirmation “All I need is within me now”. If you don’t already have it in your armoury of support then it’s a short but sweet one that packs a punch and shows that you don’t get courage from somewhere, you have it within you all the time. Consider the Wizard of Oz, at least those of you who have seen it can. There’s a lion who seeks courage from the Wizard of Oz and yet finds it by facing his fears and stepping past those fears to keep his friends safe. Zoe Mansbridge from Lifenergy has lovely little blog post on the courage that the lion finds.
So that’s how you break the spell that holds you back from connecting with your soulmate you step up each time you feel some fear (use this on small fears start with as you won’t have time to do all the following steps if you need to get out of the way of a bus) in a situation. At first this will be a conscious decision where you take the following steps:
- Notice the fear
- Take a deep breath
- Say thank you to the fear for being there to remind you to be courageous
- Create a strong posture and say to yourself “All I need is within me now”
- Step up when you’re ready and face that fear
By doing this practice regularly you will be supporting yourself in getting to a permanent state where you are ready to step up to the mark when the opportunity presents to connect with your soulmate, they’ll see your strength and courage shining and find you irresistible.
Good luck and may your god go with you.
The language of love spells
The language of love spells is as crucial as all the other elements such as ritual. The language you use needs to be words you are comfortable with, words that inspire, words that connect you to the source of power with which you are seeking connection.
For example:
I come to you and offer my love up in return for the connection with my soulmate. I willingly take actions that take me closer to my soulmate. I am grateful for the love I receive. I am open to love and accept it unconditionally into my life. My life is love and my soulmate is welcome. Thank you.
In saying “I come to you and offer my love up in return for the connection with my soulmate.” you are opening your heart to the possibility of connecting with your soulmate. You offer your love to the source of power you are connecting with to show commitment, to open your heart and most importantly to create a flow of love between you and the source.
In saying “I willingly take actions that take me closer to my soulmate.” you again are showing commitment but you are also sending messages to your subconscious that you will take actions that put you in places where you will learn lessons that will take you closer to finding your soulmate. When the time is right these actions will lead you to your soulmate.
In saying “I am grateful for the love I receive.” you are showing that you acknowledge love, that you are already receptive to love and that you live in a space of gratitude which will lead you to a peaceful loving place in your life.
In saying “I am open to love and accept it unconditionally into my life.” again you are showing a willingness to receive and by stating it unconditionally you are allow the source to deliver your soulmate in the most appropriate form for you to accept and you will not have to wait until a suitable soulmate with dark hair comes to town
To end your spell you should welcome your soulmate and thank the source of power.
By doing this with passion every day in your sacred space you will create the required focus on love, connection with your source of power and attitude of gratitude that will make this love spell work for you.

Love Yourself Completely to Find Love
A wonderful video from CharmingPixieFlora on YouTube.
I very much share her belief that you need to love yourself to be in the right place to attract your soulmate.
She gives you some strong affirmations and another thing which is a great ritual is to look yourself in the mirror and say “I love you”, make sure you look yourself in the eye!
Gratitude is another key element to attraction, I’ll cover this in a later blog along with journalling your gratitude.
CharmingPixieFlora also advocates being yourself, don’t be what you think someone else wants, be who you know you are at your core (again I’ll be blogging about this key element of attracting your soulmate). they are all key foundations for ensuring that when you perform a love spell it really works.
And now for the video, enjoy
