NOTE: Before you perform this ritual, make sure your intentions are true.
This spell can strengthen an existing relationship, but it is NOT to be used to entrap someone who is
not interested in you to begin with. Using magic to influence someone is wrong, as it takes away their
free will, effectively making them a slave.
You should begin any ritual by Opening the Magic Circle.
As well as the usual ritual tools you use, put two pieces of ribbon on the altar, each about eight inches
to a foot long (Long enough to tie around your wrist, with some left over).
The ribbons should be pink or red, as those colors are good for use in love magic.
The two people to be joined kneel before the Altar, hands clasped.
The lady (I assume this ritual is being performed by a man and woman, though it will work
equally well for a same-sex couple) begins the ritual, with her partner repeating each line
of the invocation (or speaking in unison, though that is often quite difficult).
"I call upon thee, Lady Goddess, keeper of love and beauty, to grant thy blessing upon us, thy children.
I call upon thee, Lord God, master of strength and life, to grant thy blessing upon us, thy children.
They turn to face each other, and the man leads the next part of the ritual:
I have chosen thee, lady fair, as you have chosen me.
May the God and Goddess grant us their blessing, and make our love ever stronger.
The lady replies,
I have chosen thee, virile man, as you have chosen me.
May the God and Goddess grant us their blessing, and make our love ever stronger.
The man picks up a ribbon and places it on the Pentacle.
I call the blessing of the Lady Goddess upon this ribbon.
May it be a symbol of my binding love.
I call the blessing of the Lord God upon this ribbon.
May it strengthen the bonds of love between us.
He then turns and ties the ribbon around the lady's wrist.
They kiss, then the lady picks up the other ribbon and places it on the Pentacle.
I call the blessing of the Lady Goddess upon this ribbon.
May it be a symbol of my binding love.
I call the blessing of the Lord God upon this ribbon.
May it strengthen the bonds of love between us.
She then turns and ties the ribbon around her partner's wrist.
They kiss, then turn to face the Altar again.
The man leads the end of the ritual, with the lady repeating each line (or speaking in unison).
I thank thee, Lady Goddess, mistress of Love and Beauty, for watching over this ceremony
performed in your honor. Watch over us, and grant us your blessing.
I thank thee, Lord God, master of Life and Strength, for watching over this ceremony
performed in your honor. Watch over us, and grant us your blessing.
Now, finish off the ceremony by closing the Circle.
