I was wondering, do u know any love spells that I could cast...simple ones? Its sounds really silly but u know, in case of emergences... Or any spell that makes u "glow". Not actually glow but something that makes your selfasteme(sp?) higher so that u seem to other people like u "glow". I dont know how else to call it...

From my experience and in my observation of wiccan practitioners, love spells usually dont end so well. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it! This is just my observation and opinion...

Yeah, love spells. uhhhhh, not that I have any *cough, cough* experience with them of course . . . . Anyway... I would Vehemently repeat artanaro's advice that they are generally not something to be messed with. This is because love is a very, very serious thing, not to ever be taken lightly. Oftentimes we confuse the desire for love with either the desire for friendship or for lust. And if true love is what we seek, it is something better left to work by its own timing. The reason I see for this is that people change, and it may be that if you met your true love now, perhaps you would not get along so well because you were 'ment' to meet up until later when you were both more mature, secure, etc. maybe you will be a completely different person in five years and your love should know you as that person rather than who you are now. Maybe your true love is in another country right now, or unable to be here for some reason. Maybe you do not actually have one person who is destined to be your one true love. That is not so bad, even though it sounds like it. Some people are better off completely free. When true love is involved, it can be like having another side to yourself that you have to take into consideration; maybe you are ment to be only One.
As far as self esteem spells, I know none, though I am sure you could write one. Self esteem comes with individual strength, where you are secure in your knowledge and your actions and thus have confidence in yourself. This is truely something that is better built up over time. If an athlete takes shots of steriods, he may be able to become stronger faster, but the one who works every day without the aid of drugs will be stronger for a longer time, and he will also have the patience and the disciplin that his work taught him. I don't know if that is a good metaphore or not but it was the closest I could get.
There is an exercise I would reccomend that I have seen mentioned in a few meditation-type books. Every night before sleeping, sit or lie with your eyes closed and go back over the things that happened in the day, either backwards or forwards (I think if you go backwards you tend to remember more things.) One by one as you remember each event let it go, let go of any feeling or intrusive thoughts you have about that time. When you have gone over the whole day just rest in mental silence without intruding thoughts or feelings. This will remove the hold that other people, and things that happen can have over us. I have found that dwelling on these things is often what causes low self esteem. When someone is independant of these influences, they have no reason to think badly of themselves. (Well, unless they're a murderer or something, but I don't know what to do for those people!)
In a novel I read (the Mad Ship series; can't remember who it was by) a character did something like this and called it "Forgiving the day" I like that name. I am sure there area million ways you can modify this meditation if you like, but this is the basic idea. I hope it helps!

Hi Theodora. As the others have said, love spells are not to be trifled with. Most "love spells" are not ethical magick, as they bend the will of another to your own. Bad karma! The only love spells that I would even consider do not name any specific person, time, etc. They are meant to simply draw loving influences into your life, hopefully that includes a person that makes you feel happy & loved as well. As for a magick spell to raise self-esteem. Boy would the prescription drug companies be in trouble if a spell was all that it took to raise your self-esteem! LOL! I think that the best way to incorproate magick into raising yopur self-esteem, would be to use banishing spells against your own "inner demons". (i.e. depression, shyness, passivity, etc.) Sincerely, Laurasia

Excellent explanation twilight! I agree with the others theodora..love spells, even when meant for the purpose of good, usually end up going astray.

So they are really dangerous...I mean the love spells. But u know, I dont mean any serious ones just any that could make someone like u a bit more or something. Nothing about real love. I will try to do that thing about self esteme u mentioned twilight.

Not about real love? Do you mean like a crush? or lust? I would think that would be as dangerous, if not more so, than a real love spell. If you perform it on a specific person, if it works that person will only like you because of the spell, and only so long as the spell is active. You would probably end up getting hurt when they realized that they did not really like you. Or if you cast a spell to call this kind of 'love' into your life without targeting a specific person, that could be disastrous. There are a lot of people out there that I do not want to have a crush on me! But unless you target a specific person (which as explained above isn't a good idea), you probably can't control who is affected by the spell.

Once again aelish, you have explained it very well! Yes, theodora I have heard of many accounts of a love spell going astray and bringing too much attention to the caster of the spell. Even if you have nothing but great intentions, usually the opposite will happen.
