These 7 Easy Love Spells Will Have Your Crush on the Hook in No Time

‘New Moon, New Love’ Spell

What it does:

New moons mark the very first point of the lunar cycle, so the energy of these lunations is very supportive when it comes to manifesting and beginning new things. Whether you’re looking to start a relationship or bring something fresh into an already-existing one, doing a love-related manifestation spell under the new moon is especially powerful. All you need is an intention about love and a new moon to cast your spell under.

What you need:

• A pen and a piece of paper, cut into a heart
• A clear quartz, moonstone, or selenite crystal

How to cast:

This new moon spell can be used with almost any love-related intention, so long as its focused on manifesting something new in romance or beginning a new journey in a relationship, and should be performed on the night of a new moon. However, not all new moons are the same, so if you want to make your spell more powerful, check which zodiac sign your moon of choice will rise in before settling on your intention. Aligning your objectives to the astrological energy will boost your spell’s effectiveness. (Hint: the new moon will always rise in the same sign of the current zodiac season.) Here’s a guide to help you:

• If it’s in a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), focus on manifesting passion and sexuality.
• If it’s in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), focus on manifesting stability and sensual pleasure.
• If it’s in an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), focus on manifesting communication and intellectual connection.
• If it’s in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), focus on manifesting emotional connection and romantic feelings.

Once you’ve decided on an intention, write it down on your heart-shaped piece of paper, and say it aloud three times as you hold your crystal of choice in hand. Clear quartz, moonstone, and selenite are great for harnessing and amplifying lunar energy, making them ideal for charging with an intention during a meaningful moon phase. Fold the heart in half and set it down on a windowsill, and place the crystal on top of the paper. Recite these words before leaving your spell out under the new moon overnight: “Under the new moon’s invisible light, my wish will be fulfilled tonight.”

‘Full Moon, Full Heart’ Release Spell

What it does:

Full moons are the climax of the lunar month, when the moon is at its most illuminated point before it begins waxing down to the end of its cycle. That’s why its energy is so well-suited for rituals relating to letting go of things. If you are looking to move on from a past relationship or let go of emotional baggage in your love life so that your path is cleared for new connections, this full moon release spell is perfect.

What you need:

• A white candle (for cleansing energy)
• A black candle (for releasing energy)
• A small piece of paper and a pen
• A fire-safe bowl

How to cast:

This spell is to be performed on the night of a full moon. Begin by arranging your tools in a line: Place your black candle on the left, your fire-safe bowl in the middle, and your white candle on the right. Light the black candle first, which symbolizes transformation and letting go. Once the candle is lit, visualize the person or romantic feelings that you are releasing and imagine yourself breaking free, feeling whole and empowered and independent. Write down exactly what you are letting go of on the small piece of paper.

Next, light your white candle, which symbolizes cleansing away old energy and clearing the path for all that’s yet to come. Place the paper in the fire-safe bowl and carefully burn it, allowing it to transform into ash. As the paper burns, recite the following spell: “The moon is full, as is my heart. Onto my own path I’ll part.” If you can do so safely, pour a drop of black candle’s wax onto the burnt paper followed by a drop of the white candle’s wax. This seals your intention to both release what’s been weighing on your heart and clear the way to fulfillment throughout the course of the latter half of the current moon cycle. Allow the candles to burn and leave the bowl on a windowsill overnight to soak up the full moon’s light.

Sweet Honey Jar Love Spell

What it does:

Rather than attracting a new love into your life, honey jar spells like this one are best used to “sweeten” up an existing relationship—whether that’s with a committed partner you’ve had a fight with with or a crush who you’d like to get closer to. Either way, it’s important to have a specific person in mind who you’d like to have think of you more fondly, or with whom you’d like to cultivate more warmth and harmony in your relationship.

What you need:

• A jar of honey (any size will do)
• Small piece of paper and a pen
• A photo of your love interest (optional)
• Rose quartz or calcite crystals, and/or a pink candle (optional)

How to cast:

On a piece of paper, write the name of the person you’d like to work the spell for, and if you’d like, write down a few positive adjectives that describe the energy you’d like to bring to your relationship with them. Fold up the paper and place it inside the jar of honey, completely submerging it in the golden sweetness. If you have a photograph of the person or even a very small object that belongs to them, you can add that to your honey jar, too. Recite the following spell while focusing on the person who’s name is going into the jar: “Just like honey, you and me are bonded with sweetness happily. So mote it be.”

If you’d like to infuse your honey jar love spell with even more romantic energy, place a heart-opening rose quartz or an emotionally-soothing calcite crystal on top of the jar. Additionally, you can light a pink candle atop the jar safely and allow it to burn all the way down, covering the lid with wax. Keep the honey jar on your altar or next to your bed, and repeat the spell’s mantra as needed.

Love Letter Manifestation Spell

What it does:

If you’re hoping to solicit some communication from your crush or lover, or heighten their romantic feelings for you, this love letter spells uses the law of assumption to help you manifest your desires.

What you need:

• A piece of paper and a pen
• An envelope
• Cinnamon

How to cast:

If you’d like to facilitate contact or heighten feelings from a love interest—whether it’s an ex who you’d like a second chance with or someone you’re newly dating—this love letter spell is the perfect way to give them an energetic nudge in your direction.

Begin the spell by setting the mood with anything that makes you feel romantic, such as putting on a love playlist or lighting some sensual-smelling incense. You are writing a love letter, after all! From there, it’s simple: Handwrite yourself a love letter from the perspective of your romantic interest. Make it as detailed and descriptive as you can, as if they are spilling out all of their deepest feelings for you, being fully transparent about their desires, and telling you everything you want to hear. As you write, imagine them in their own space writing the letter themselves.

Once you’ve finished the letter, read it through in your head, imagining them saying these words in their own voice. Then read it aloud to yourself, as if they’ve given it to you. Label an envelope with your name, and put the letter inside with a sprinkle of cinnamon (which brings some heat and passion to your intention and helps to speed up your manifestation). Sleep with the letter under your pillow for three nights.

Love Potion Aura Spell

What it does:

If you’re looking to attract a lover, add more romance to an existing relationship, or simply give you an irresistible energetic allure, this “love potion” can be used in a sensual bath or as a body spritz to enhance your aura.

What you need:

• Distilled or spring water
• Clear glass jar with lid
• Rose quartz or other pink crystals
• Rose water or rose oil
• A sachet of dried hibiscus flowers or a hibiscus tea bag
• Small spray bottle (optional)

How to cast:

Begin by filling a jar with water, then add in a splash of rose water or sprinkle of rose oil—as rose symbolizes love and romance, and helps to open your heart. Then add your sachet or teabag of dried hibiscus flowers, which symbolize lust and attraction, and will turn your potion a beautiful red color. Set the jar outside in a safe are as the sun is setting, surrounding it with your crystals of choice. Rose quartz, rhodonite, or other pink-colored crystals are great choices, as they correspond with romance, compassion, and heart healing. Allow the jar to sit outside overnight, soaking up the moonlight and allowing the hibiscus to steep.

The following morning, your potion is ready for magical use. You can keep it in the jar to pour into sensual baths, sprinkle on your pillowcase, or use to enhance other love spells—just be careful not to stain any fabric, as the hibiscus flowers will turn the water red. You may also pour some in a small spray bottle to spritz over yourself when you’d like to feel especially amorous. Each time you use the potion, say an empowering mantra aloud, such as “I attract romance everywhere I go,” or “Everything I desire finds me irresistible.”

Attraction Candle Spell

What it does:

The element of fire is very potent when it comes to heating things up, both literally and metaphorically—which is why a candle spell is perfect to use when you’d like to generate attraction from someone, whether it’s a new person you’re interested in or within a current partnership. It’s extraordinarily simple, but very effective.

What you need:

• A red chime candle

How to cast:

Since this is an attraction spell, it’s extra important for you to set a sensual mood. Wear something sexy, put on your favorite perfume, and do whatever special beauty rituals you like to do to make you feel desirable. When you’re ready to light your red candle, focus on your person of interest as you do so. Once the flame is lit, say the following spell aloud: “May the light of this flame set [Name]’s heart on fire, for I am the one that fills them with desire.”

Once you’ve spoken the spell, allow yourself to meditate on the light of the flame, envisioning a passionate encounter between you and your person of interest. Now that the candle is infused with your intention, allow it to burn all the way down, sending your spell into the universe. Just make sure not to leave it unattended or burning near anything flammable.

Goddess of Love Spell

What it does:

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and fertility, so this mystical and romantic archetype the perfect energy to call upon if you’re trying to attract a lover. Aphrodite is known as Venus in Roman mythology, so it is best to perform this spell on a Friday, as that’s the planetary day of the week associated with the planet of the same name.

What you need:

• A small shallow bowl
• Floral essential oils of your choice
• Seashells
• Rose quartz
• A fresh rose
• A sensual-smelling incense (optional)
• A statue or photo representation of Aphrodite (optional)

How to cast:

If you have an altar, that’s a great place to set up this spell, but it’s also effectively done next to your bed, on a vanity, or wherever you perform your daily beauty rituals. Begin by setting out your bowl and filling it with a small amount of water. Add a few drops of a floral essential oils to the water. You can use rose oil for love, jasmine oil for sex appeal, ylang ylang for sensuality, or any combination of floral essences. Then, place a rose quartz crystal in the water alongside some seashells (which are one of Aphrodite’s most meaningful symbols). If you have a small statue or other visual representation of Aphrodite, place it behind or near the bowl.

Now take your rose and pull the petals off the flower one by one, placing each petal into the bowl while envisioning the qualities of your ideal lover. As you pick the petals, repeat the following spell: “Petals of love, petals of light, bring me a love that’s pure and bright, with Aphrodite by my side.” When you’ve finished, leave the bowl out for three days, thanking Aphrodite each evening and morning. Once the three days are up, remove the rose quartz and shells from the bowl, then bury the water and rose petals outdoors to allow the earth to alchemize your intention into reality.
