February is the month of Love. Love, wild and crazy, breathtaking, passionate LOVE! We all need and crave love as a human, and there are spells by the thousands that are out there for attracting the love of your life.

Here is a St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell for you to use to land the one you want.

While many decorative valentines use red as the prominent color, this candle spell uses a pink candle that combines the passion of red and the peace and clarity of white.

St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell:

1) Clean a pink glass-encased 7-day "Novena" vigil Candle with Florida Water, Rubbing Alcohol or Lemon Juice to remove any dust particles and residuals from the candle factory. Set aside to dry.

2) Write a petition with the description of what you consider a 'perfect' love to be: kind, industrious, thrifty, faithful, hard-working, convivial, fun, sexy, energetic, etc.

3) Carve three small holes in the candle in the shape of a triangle for the placement of the oil. Shake out any spent wax.

4) Anoint the candle with a combination of these oils:

• 3 drops of Look Me Over Oil (so that a possible suitor will take notice of you)
• 3 drops of Kiss Me Now! Oil (so that they will hunger for your delectable kiss)
• 3 drops of Follow Me Boy or Follow Me Girl Oil (so that they will follow after you)
• 3 drops of Fire of Love Oil (so that they will be enraptured by your magnetism)

5) Place your petition under the candle and place both in a fire-safe container, like an aluminum pie tin, a Pyrex pie dish, or a bakeware to protect you from a fire. Make sure nothing is dangling over it and that no children or pets can get to the candle out of curiosity.

6) Smudge the entire area around the candle with a sweet smelling incense like rose or brown sugar. Recite a prayer near and dear to your heart for St. Valentine to heed your request and hear your plea.

7) Light the candle and spend time in quiet meditative prayer while conjuring in your mind the image of your perfect lover.

8) Keep candle lit until extinguished, if possible. If you feel the need to put the candle out when you are not home, then pinch it out with spit on your fingers or invest in a brass candle snuffer. 

Never blow out a candle, as it will indicate you are done with the candle spell burning.

9) Repeat this candle vigil until you get the desired results.

Note: You have to do your part as well. Dress well to go out in public - clean clothes and good grooming works wonders. Be receptive to a compliment. Comment on something to a potential love candidate about the weather, sports, news - anything to get them to notice you.
