Love Struck PotpourriNow this one does require that you have a date already, so it may not help you to actually meet someone. If your prospective lover is going to be at your home, give this one a try. In a decorative bowl, mix up the following:
• Half a cup of dried rose petals
• Half a cup of dried lavender
• Pieces of a real vanilla bean
• One tonka bean
You can omit the tonka bean if you can't find a convenient place to get them. Toss in a cinnamon stick instead. Mix it up the day before, and leave the bowl out when he or she is there.
Romance OrigamiOk, yet another one of my cutesy spell names. You don't actually have to fold the paper up into a swan or anything. A square is fine:
• A pinch of lavender
• A pinch of rosemary
• One piece of orris root
• A piece of stiff red paper
Lay out the paper, and put the herbs in the middle. Fold the paper over a few times to enclose the herbs and make a little "envelope". Seal it shut with a piece of tape or string (don't staple or glue). Carry the little love charm around with you to draw in some romance.
