You have the ability to create a life filled with love. The key lies in your willingness to recognize your own power ó though perhaps a pinch of help from the universe wouldn't hurt. The secrets of unlocking your power to love can be found in Silver's Spells for Love by well-known author and Wiccan High Priestess, Silver RavenWolf.

Besides romance, there are all sorts of loving relationships in your life. In Silver's Spells for Love you will find spells that will help you improve and enhance the emotional bond you have with parents, siblings, children, friends, teachers, and even pets.

Instructions are included to expand love using only a key, a piece of rose quartz, a small blue bag, and a chocolate figurine.

Silver's Spells for Love is a delightful spellbook, with charms and chants and all manner of magick for banishing loneliness; infusing existing relationships with new passion; and attracting an abundance of love.

4.0 out of 5 stars All you need is love & a little magick to help you get some!, December 29, 2000

By 

Barbara A. Bolek - See all my reviews

This review is from: Silver's Spells for Love (Silver's Spells Series) (Paperback)

Here's another creative, thematic collection of eclectic spells by author Silver Ravenwolf. This collection focuses on matters concerning the heart. Spells, of course, revolve mainly around sex, romance, marriage, babies, etc. But Ravenwolf also includes spells for the other loves in our lives; friendships, pet companionships, love of self (self-esteem), attracting the job you love, and a spell to send loving thoughts to a loved one who has passed on.

She also includes spells to mend broken relationships/friendships, end arguments, soothe road rage, heal after a divorce, or break the effects of love spells or enchantments. She includes a nice spin on the process of drawing down the Moon/Sun -- a preparatory working appropriately titled -- "Drawing down Love".

The spells are diverse. There are charms to be made, dreams to undertake, oils or potions to create, baths to refresh in, divinations to do, incantations to speak, songs to sing, empowering chants, candles to charge, and much more. She invokes a variety of deities (Yemaya, Aphrodite, Bast), works with animal/plant energies, and throws in some famous personalities as well (Shakespeare, Lord Byron).

It might have been nice if Ravenwolf provided more workings concerning the darker side of relationships -- how to get out of emotional clinches, protection from stalkers, how to break an abusive cycle, end co-dependencies, etc. But, overall, a lot of ground is covered.

This book should be taken for what it is...a book of spells, not a magickal primer. It is best suited for those already familiar with the ethics, and the art, of spellcasting. Though there is background material provided on how to work magick, and nice ideas on how to create and bless a love altar or shrine, novices should seek out something more basic on the art of spellcasting rather than just play around with the information provided in this book.

Like her other small pocket guides ("Silver's spells for protection", and Silver's spells for prosperity"), you may not find every idea useful. But there's enough here to make it a worthwhile purchase for magickal practitioners. This is an imaginative, thoughtful treasury of magickal workings devoted entirely to the affairs of the heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall a pretty good book, March 16, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Silver's Spells for Love (Silver's Spells Series) (Paperback)

Overall I feel this is a very good book. I disagree with the many negative reviews I read. I especially love the introduction as well as the beginning of the first chapter, which gives an overview of the type of visualization needed to achieve your goals while spell casting. Also, she has included appendixes in the back of the book that give more detailed information on moon phases, planets, and color correspondences, so you know the best time to perform various spells. And Silver RavenWolf does make it quite clear that the wiccan rede is against manipulating the free will of others, contrary to what some other reviews may have you believe. This book is written for both beginners and avid practioners of the craft. I would definatley reccomend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, neat ideas, May 8, 2002

By 

Stormy (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Silver's Spells for Love (Silver's Spells Series) (Paperback)

This book has only cursory guidelines to practicing magick, and I hope that people have at least some magickal background before picking this up and trying out the contents.

For those who do, I found it filled with neat ideas.

I liked the fact that not all the spells were about getting guys/girls, and instead included other relationships like family, friends and pets--maintaining long term relationships--and getting over failed ones.

It's a fun collection of ideas that work, that can be used as inspiration for coming up with your own.

Re; a previous review--information on darker stuff, like protection from stalkers, is in the prior book SILVER'S SPELLS FOR PROTECTION.
