There's nothing like a red rose for a love spell - or a sacrifice, for that matter.

Here's an example of magic with roses, using the magic of roses for romantic purposes, sexy purposes and in general, to really give a lift to the whole incarnation ...

Folk in magic and especially beginners tend to obsess about following the tradition of doing certain types of work at certain beneficial times of the various natural cycles within which we exist. Unlike the more complex astrological, moon, year or day/month cycles, sun phases are actually far more basic, more powerful, and sun phases are easy to remember and very clearly natural.

This energy magic Soul Love potion has a fun origin - an Xtra Magic subscriber mailed in and asked how much of the Gypsy Rose Love Potion one should drink before love comes into one's life. Ooops! In the olden days, love potions were made to be given to an intended, so they would marry you ... Three drops, at that ...

However, that gave me the idea for a love potion you can drink yourself. More love is always better than less love!

Magic Color Meanings Of White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Turquoise to help you answer the question of which color candle you need for which kind of spell, or which color a ribbon should be, or a ceremonial robe, or the flowers you add to a magic potion ... and then some, of course ...

Here is a full energy magic color chart with the meanings of the colors, color exercises and more.

There are many things that were known only about a hundred years ago that have become lost, and the secret language of the flowers is one of them. In days gone by it was held an important part of women's education to know home remedies, about the qualities of plants and this had a large metaphysical component.

Just knowing that there is a secret language of flowers changes many things; and of course has many applications in practical as well as esoteric magic and energy magic.

How does it apply, for example, to a love attraction ritual ( = to attract love in my life)?

Cathy writes: Dear SFX, I need a spell to stop me from obsessing about someone who is an enemy and lets no opportunity go by to attack me. I feel under attack all the time. I don't want to fight back, that's just going to give him even more power over me - do you have a spell to get my mind off that man so I can get on with my own life instead?

When people think in terms of a "magic book" - do they think of it as a book that contains instructions about magic, a collection of magic spells, magic wisdom, secrets of the ages ...

... or could it be that the book itself is magic?

If you have ever felt that a book was more than the words it contained, that there was something "beyond the words" then I've got just the thing for you - a free teleclass on "the magic of the book".

One of the most simple and most effective defence against the dark arts, black magick, bad witches, and also ordinary people who don't even know they're witches but who are giving you the evil eye anyway is - the humble mirror.

In this case, we are talking about a charged magic mirror that more than triples the protection against incoming bad magic or black magic, known as a Hexenspiegel, which is German for "witch mirror". Here is how to use magic mirrors for protection against evil or black magick in the home and for personal protection against negative energy.

Dear StarFields, I've been taught to go into an alpha state prior to doing magic, spells, rituals etc.

But I find I get very sleepy and drowsy. How can I raise more power for magic?

Here is a really important tip that all magicians need to HEED:

Don't overproduce your spells!

Find out how "piling on the magic" makes so many spells weak, pointless and ineffective, and what you can do to avoid that sort of magic failure.

A good, ongoing, working relationship with your guardian angel or guardian spirit is OF THE ESSENCE if you want help, work magic, or need powerful protection. 

I am constantly surprised at people who want to try and do magic without such support, and others who really should know better who just put in few requests with their guardian angels or guardian spirits once in a blue moon during a ritual - and otherwise totally ignore them! How rude!

Magic names are very important in magic, but they also crop up in the form of internet nicks and aliases.

• The right magic name can help you and the wrong one can practically curse you.

Here is what you need to know about magic names and what to do to find yours.
