Love Potion 9

Need:9 oz. sweet red wine (if a person can't drink alcohol, substitute cherry soda or something similar) 9 basil leaves, 9 red rose petals, 9 cloves, 9 apple seeds, 9 drops vanilla extract, 9 drops strawberry juice, 9 drops apple juice, 1 ginseng root, cut into 9 equal pieces. By the light of 9 pink votive candles, put these nine ingredients into a cauldron (or any metal pot) on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year. (The "ninth" hour of the day is 9:00 a.m.) Stir the potion nine times with a wooden spoon, each time reciting the following magickal incantation: LET THE ONE WHO DRINKS THIS WINE SHOWER ME WITH LOVE DIVINE. SWEET LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE MAKE HIS/HER LOVE FOREVER MINE. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes. Remove the cauldron from the heat and allow the potion to cool off. Blow nine times upon the potion, bless it in the names of nine love-goddesses, (see below) and then strain it through a cheesecloth into a clean container. Cover and refrigerate it untill you are ready to serve it to the man or woman from whom you desire love and affection. (Do not allow anyone other than your beloved to look at, touch, or drink the love potion.) A word of warning: This potion is extremely potent and should be used with caution. Its results have been reported to be very intense, long-lasting, and often difficult to control or reverse. So please be absolutely sure before you give it to an intended lover that he or she is the right one for you and vice versa. The nine goddesses: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Hathor, Nephthys, Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Arianrhod.
