Soul Mate Summoning: Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Eight

Before anything else, let me acknowledge this day. Thirty years ago today, I fell in love with Poppa, and Poppa fell in love with me, we are true soul mates. This posting is given in honour of our sacred journey together.

No matter who we are, at some point in our lives, most of us reach a point when we feel that we are ready to find that one true love that will last a lifetime. We've even created a term for this elusive person, "our soul mate." Some say there is no such person, I strongly disagree.

This "wanting" is only natural. The seeking of a life partner is the way of the human heart.

If you ask any crone witch, she will probably tell you that the most common question she is asked has to do with casting "a love spell" If she is wise, she will use this query as pathway to a meaningful conversation about the witchly ethics of casting a love spell.

First of all (unless she is one of those charlatans that asks you to send cash for a guaranteed love spell) she will probably tell you that this is a spell that YOU must cast for yourself. Secondly, if you are consulting with a wise witch, she will encourage you to slow down and think about this impulse before you "DO" anything.

You must know what you want. A soul mate can be a lover, but, a lover is not always a soul mate. Lovers and soul mates are often two very different cats. In magick, one has to be very clear as to exactly what they are seeking. Let me be perfectly clear, I am going to talk here about the kind of love spell that summons a "soul mate" do not confuse these two "cats"

Every witch has her own ways, so, hereafter, I will speak for myself. Personally, I advise against casting love spells with a particular individual in mind. You are swimming in murky water when you intentionally attempt to manipulate another "being" through magick, be careful.

Don't be quick to dismiss or to laugh off "magick" as merely an ignorant practice of a superstitious fool. Words and thoughts are "things," magick is energy, living energy, treat it with respect. When using magick, leave your ego in the broom closet. I have known witches that grew "too big for their ritual robes" (power stricken) and this is not a pretty sight. It is akin to the old golden rule of "what goes around, comes around" in witchcraft, (as in life) our ill deeds come back to revisit us. If we are negative, our negativity will come back around, magnified and baring fangs. Remember too, that a spell is a prayer, a whisper to the great Mother, be careful what you ask for, for you surely may get it, therefore, cast in perfect love and in perfect trust, and be wise, cast only after great deliberation.

Don't be shallow, don't put all of your eggs in one basket, a raving beauty, or a well-ripped stud man, is not necessarily the one soul that will make you happy, beauty is fleeting, sexual prowess is fleeting. A soul mate is eternal, perhaps physical attraction is the main ingredient, but surely it is not the only ingredient. Make a list of attributes that are more expansive than appearance alone. Remember, you will want to "talk" with this person!

I have witnessed magick working for great good, and I have seen the other side of the coin. There is one rule, "Do what you will, and it harms none" Magick is as real as you perceive it to be, before you work your love spell, make sure that you fully understand this one rule. If you wish to control the very will of another human being, you are not ready for the ever yielding give and take of a life-long, loving commitment.

A successful, vigorous "love spell" will require regard for the personal "resolve" of the "other" as its main ingredient. You are seeking a partner, a companion and a lover, not a puppet.
