SOWING THE SEED OF LOVE:
SOWING THE SEED OF LOVE:
To attract a special lover:
No one could teach the world more about love than the Italians. To follow a custom my Italian Grandmother taught my mother (and in the same tradition as Isabella's pot of basil in Keats’s poem) this spell demonstrates how pouring your love into a little basil plant will ensure a strong love with someone.
YOU WILL NEED:
* A small pot
* Some earth
* Some basil seeds
On a waxing moon in late spring or summer, take a few basil seeds and sow them carefully in one or two small pots or containers. as you sow them, sing a sweet song or think loving thoughts, and feel love entering your life.
Water the seeds lovingly until they germinate, saying as you do:
"SONO INNAMORATA GRAZIE"
When the seedlings appear, take great care of them, especially if the weather is cold (in which case you will need a very sunny draught-free window) You mustn't let them die and never use these special plants for cooking, for they are sacred to love.
You will meet a special love within a few months - perhaps the love of your life. Have fun.
