Charm to Win Another's Love

Source The Crone's Book of Charms and Spells
Author Valerie Worth
Take of violet blossoms, shorn from their stems, a great handful, and spread them upon a red paper to dry for a fortnight, or longer if need be.  When they are quite curled wand crisp, grind them in a mortar to dust, and mix this well with two dozen blanched almonds pounded to a paste, and a little clear honey to bind all together.  Then from this confection shall several small cakes be shaped.  Wrap up each cake closely in silver paper; tie it about with a purple thread, and pack all these sweets into a small box., itself then to be wrapped in silver and tied with purpose.  When these preparations are completed, set the box upon the same sheet of red paper, on which now a circle has been drawn and these words inscribed in its center:

Viola violae
Tinctus animae
Custos laetitiae
Leno amoris

Turn the box thrice about, raise in the air, thrice repeat aloud the words written on the paper, and finally kiss the box nine times.  Then it may be sent (but secretly, for the identity of its giver should remain hidden) to the one whose love is sought.  The inscribed paper should be folded small and kept beneath your pillow, until its purpose is well accomplished.

To Attract Love

Author Starhawk
Use a circle of rose-colored or red (for more sexually passionate love) cloth.  Fill it with acacia flowers, myrtle, rose petals or buds, jasmine flowers, and lavender.  Add a red felt heart and a copper coin or ring.  Tie it with blue thread or ribbon, in seven knots.

Crystal Love Spell

Source The Power of the Witch
Author Laurie Cabot
Here is a love spell using a crystal.  Get a clear or rose quartz crystal. Bathe it in sea salt and spring water and wrap it up in a white cloth until you are ready to perform the spell.  This will cleanse it and neutralize all unwanted vibrations and energies.  Charge it by holding it and asking the powers of the Goddess to bring you a lover who is correct and good for you.  Carry the crystal in a bright pink, red, copper, or green satin or lame` bag.  Instead of a bag you can cut a square of colored cloth, place the crystal in it, and tie the corners together with a string of the same color.

A Love Philter

Source The Power of the Witch
Author Laurie Cabot
Here is a recipe for a spell to attract love into your life in general.  It is to be carried in a philter.

1

Tablespoon patchouli leaves

1

tablespoon hibiscus flowers
1 tablespoon yarrow
1 tablespoon passion flower
1 tablespoon strawberry leaves
1 tablespoon damiana
1 tablespoon motherwort
1 tablespoon red poppy flowers
4 Adam and Eve roots
1 tablespoon lovage-root powder
ADD:
20 drops or more of rose oil
10 drops strawberry oil
8 drops musk oil
5 drops patchouli oil
BLEND WITH:

2

tablespoons orris-root powder
Mix all the ingredients together and catalyze the intentions of your spell by saying aloud, 

"I ask that a lover or companion be attracted to me and that there be love between us.  I ask that this be correct and for the good of all people.  So mote it be".

Either visualize the specific person you wish to attract or the kind of person you seek.  Be specific about what you do not want to draw in before you do the spell.  Carry this philter in a red or pink cloth bag.  Remember, it is the energy and aura of the herbs, not the scent, that attracts.
