Magick for Self-Love

Around this time of year, there is much speak of ‘Valentines’, and for those of us who are single, we’ve had the introduction of ‘Galentines’, where women show each other love, and I love that! But this year I’d love to see more people focusing on love of self, I wonder if anyone can come up with a suitable catchy word for that!

With this in mind I’ve decided to share three self-love spells from my Magickal Library Book Series.

Self - Love Charm Bag

You will need:

Jasmine flowers

Marjoram

Poppy seeds

A drawstring pouch (preferably pink or white)

A rose quartz crystal

Blend the herbs together clockwise to attract self-love, as you do so consider all the beautiful qualities you possess. Imagine you are your own best friend, and be kind with your thoughts. Imbue the herbs with your gentle loving energy.

State the following:

“Self-love and appreciation shall come to me

As I will it, so mote it be”

Sit with the rose quartz in your hand and feel its loving vibration filling you up.

Know that love is engulfing you, surrounding you.

Visualise a soft pink light rising up through you, out of you, and surrounding you in its loving embrace.

Feel the emotion of love – this love is pure, and it’s for you!

Add the herb blend and rose quartz to the pouch and tie it firmly closed.

Keep this bag close by, and draw from its loving energy when needed.

Self-Love Bath Pouch

Jasmine flowers and rose petals are both renowned for their soothing, loving properties. Their vibrations attract love of all kinds – friendship, romance, self-love etc.

Rose Quartz has a loving, healing vibration and is the perfect addition to any love spell/ritual!

Here’s how to utilise them for a beautiful bath ritual.

You will need:

Jasmine Flowers

Dried Rose Petals

Rose Quartz Crystal

Draw String Pouch

Sit quietly, and lovingly add the jasmine flowers, rose petals, and rose quartz to the bath pouch; do so with gratitude for the loving, soothing energy this little magickal pouch will bring you! Tie the pouch closed.

Prepare yourself a bath – you can use candles and music to create a magickal, relaxing atmosphere, and add the pouch to the water, swirling clockwise to attract loving vibrations.

As you bathe meditate on all the positive things about you – don’t allow any negative self-talk; just positive affirmations - and feel the love you have for yourself blossom. Know that this love you are feeling for yourself will attract more and more love into your life – and relax as you envelop yourself in the magickal, loving, healing waters.

*If you don’t have bath, the pouch can be hung over your shower-head, or added to a foot soak

Love Thyself Candle Spell

A gentle and beautiful spell to encourage self-love.

You will need:

Half an Apple

Pink Spell Candle

Poppy Seeds

Rose Petals

Slice the base off the apple so it will sit without wobbling.

Scoop out a tiny bit of the centre so you can use this half an apple as a candle holder.

Place the spell candle in the centre.

Scatter poppy seeds and rose petals round the base of the candle, working clockwise as you state the following:

“I commit to seeing the best in myself, the way I see it in others.

I am a beautiful part of this magickal Universe, and worthy of love and acceptance”

Light the candle.

As the candle burns, think only beautiful, gentle, loving thoughts about yourself. Feel yourself surrounded by all the loving energies of the Universe, and make a commitment to feel this love of self as you move forward with your life.

I hope these loving spells will encourage you to see yourself for the beautiful, magickal, amazing soul that you are, and will help you to realise that you too are worthy of the love you so readily give to others.
