Bring Me a Polyamorous Love Spell

This spell is from one of my favorite books, Pagan Polyamory by Raven Kaldera. I have re-written the spell to be easier for BOS use, for me. If you would like to read the original spell, feel free to check it out in the book on page 11.








Tools
A large pillar candle with multiple wicks in red, pink, green or other appropriate color.
Essential oil blend of love scents such as violet, rose, apple blossom, etc.
Colored thread, one for each person participating, that represent a trait they are looking for in the new lover.
A lighter or matches.

Timing
(this is not in the book but I wanted to add it from my own studies)
Fridays are Freya's Day and associated with love goddesses such as Freya, Aphrodite, Venus.
Waxing Moon is a great time for magic that draws something in and manifesting things into fruition.
So I recommend a Friday on a Waxing Moon.
If you want a specific time, 6 is the number of Venus, so 6 am with the coming dawn and beginnings or 6 pm which is a time of relaxation at the end of the day and particularly beneficial for those who practice nocturnal witchcraft.

Each person involved in the spell should get oil on their fingers. If there are more than one of you, start by anointing each other and affirming your bonds of love and/or friendship. Then each person anoints the candle saying, "I come to the flame of love with an open heart."

Each person ties one of their threads around the bottom of the pillar candle. (Although you can have as many threads as you want, it's good not to fill up more than the bottom third of the candle, because you will be burning it down.) The other end of teach thread gets loosely tied around the left wrist of the person who brought it (the thread), in a big enough loop that they can easily slip their hand out. The querent(s) stand around the candle, tied to it by threads, and one person lights the candle, saying, "We are blessed with the presence of the flame of love."

Each person then recites the following prayer, either one after the other or as a call-and-response with one person reading it off and the others reciting it back:

Lady of Love who dances in our hearts,
We call you to this place
In the heart of this dancing flame.
Love flows in this circle in abundance,
Enough and more for many lovers,
and we with to share it still further.
You who are the magnetism of the universe,
Draw the right lover to these open arms, 
and help us to trust in your decision.

You who are the spark of passion, 
Let this yearning be a siren call
Heard only by the right ears.
Let it be a song in their blood,
A voice in the wind,
That brings them to the light of this circle
and into the love of a family.

We swear that here in this place,
Their unique soul will be appreciated
and the song of their heart desperately needed
to match, and to complement,
the songs that are sung here tonight.

Everyone takes the threads off their wrists and wraps the remaining lengths around the candle.
It should be allowed to burn down to the point where the threads begin. During this time, play music (either yourself on a instrument or on a CD) of your favorite love songs and sing along to them. Sing along, dance, and have a love-song festival for the next hour or so. This is your offering to the Love Goddesses.

Once it has been burned to this point, it should be wrapped in cloth and put somewhere safe where it will not be lost.
If the Gods of love are happy with your offering, they will send someone. It may take a long time - days, weeks, months, or a year or two, especially if you've made very specific requests.
Just make sure when they show up in your life that you are paying attention to recognize them and to sign for the package.
