Local Magic Love: Controlling Cupid’s Arrow
(Guest View by Patty Shaw, Coventry Creations and Candle Wick Shoppe, Feb. 1, 2016)
Cupid is a little stinker.
He has way too much fun shooting up the wrong guy or gal and causing love mayhem in his wake. As we all know, there is nothing more annoying than getting puppy love crush attention from Mr. or Ms. “not if you were the last person on earth”. How do we get this powerful little cherub to find the right target for you?
A little magic goes a long way when influencing Cupid’s arrow. Our Get Cupid on your side spell will make Cupid putty in your hands and willing to make sure he gets the right person in his cross-hairs.
It’s true you can’t leave love decisions up to Cupid. He’s too willing to play games with your heart.
His reputation for indiscriminate love pairing is funny until it happens to you. Stand up and take charge of your love life and decide you don’t have to accommodate any crush. Making a commitment to a love partner is serious business and not to be wasted on a bad match.
Truth be told being vulnerable to Cupid’s arrow is a metaphor for being a wimp and saying yes to every guy who wants to claim you for his. Be a modern assertive woman and the decider of who is worthy of your love and devotion.
Here’s the spell that will put the starch back in your spine. You will need A Stability Blessed Herbal Candle and an Inner Beauty Affirmation Candle.
The Stability Blessed Herbal Candle is suggested for grounding and confidence building. Spark it up and lock yourself away for your introspective journey. You may want to write your insights down.
Take stock of who you have been dating, got married to or has been buzzing around you like flies with unwanted attention. What did you like about these people? What didn’t you like about these people?
How did they treat you? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like about it?
How did they make you feel about yourself? Do you feel at home with them or oddly off balance with them? How many things that are really important to you do you make compromises on?
After looking at your lists, ask yourself, do these people really know you? Are they interested in knowing you and what makes you tick?
Once you have put it all out to see, has cupid been playing you? Do you see evidence of you making your own choices?
At the conclusion of this reverie, go to your jewelry box and pick out a piece of jewelry to represent your commitment to yourself. You are going to turn it into a love charm.
Light the Inner Beauty Candle and read the affirmation aloud three times while passing your love charm over (not in) the flame three times.  To set your intention in the right direction, affirm that the only person that will be attracted to you will honor all that you are, not just what they want from your looks, money or whatever else you represent to them.  Wear your love charm whenever you are out and about. Attracting Mr. (or Ms.) Right starts with a solid foundation of loving yourself.
Does using magic and spell work sound like a great way to improve your life? It does to me too.
