A Lesson in Love Magick

Several years ago I decided to create some love magick
for myself. With much care, I crafted my magick.
With much thought to what I wanted,
I created a list of qualities that my perfect
match would have.
I gathered the right blend of herbs, dressed
my candles and created my charm.
Each Friday I worked my magick.
I worked in accordance to the aspect of the moon.
I'd work with the Sun. I worked that magick!

Shortly afterwards something surprising occurred.
Someone I had professional dealings with began to
flirt with me. He was very handsome, financially
secure and younger.
We exchanged emails, phone calls.
I shifted the focus of my workings on "us"
Within days of my magick, there would come
another email or phone call. Romantic, full of promise.

During this time I met a new friend.
Our circumstances brought us together.
He would call me daily. He would email every morning.
He was always there to lend an ear to my problems.
Kind. Supportive. He made me laugh.

My magick continued with it's focus.
After each working my 'intended' would contact me.
More flirting. Beautiful, Poetic letters. Emails.
Style, but no substance. My magick had been
based on dreams; or so I thought.
It was then I realized my friend was much
more than a friend.
The One who would tell me "I am here" always was.

The workings of my love magick were no longer needed.
I decided to pack them away. I noticed my list.
As I looked at it I smiled. My magick had worked
exactly as intended.

I learned a lesson from The Goddess.
We can create great magick in our lives.
We can manifest our own miracles.
We Can Not use our magick to affect another, for magick
is a gift we are given to change our own lives.

I share the charm of my love magick with you,
use it wisely.

On Friday night, with not a sound
The Lady comes, her gifts abound
This spell be cast by candle's light
To bring romance, let love take flight.
To open thy soul, ones heart to see
That love shall come
So shall this be
