Is it possible to make a love potion?
Yes, real love potions exist and can be made. It is a common practice in many cultures around the world which involve love and sex magic. A love potion is traditionally meant to make a subject fall in love with the person who served them the potion. Modern love potions are generally used for self-love.
Before we begin, it’s important to understand the ethical implications of giving someone a love potion without their knowledge or consent for manipulative reasons. This is something that is frowned upon in Wicca and many other belief systems.
Only you are responsible for the ethics of your magic and spellcasting. As general advice, if you are a beginner, don’t target a specific person. Instead, cast spells to bring more love into your life and let the universe do the rest.

This Love Potion Recipe Includes
- Honey: If you’ve wondered why the month after a wedding is the honeymoon, that’s because of the symbolism of the honey bee. Honey relates to fertility and sexuality because of pollination. It’s a popular ingredient in sweetening spells.
- Strawberries: They are sacred to Freyja, Venus, and used in love spells and aphrodisiacs. They attract good luck and are related to Midsummer and the Strawberry Moon. You can substitute for pomegranate or peach if strawberries aren’t in season..
- Apple: They are the most magical fruit. Apples are used in love spells primarily, but they’re also good for healing and divinations.

Honey
Apple juice or cider

Directions
- Focus on your intention and set the candle on your work table or altar. Optionally, carve a symbol of love such as a heart on the candle. You could carve the initials of a specific person or simply the word "love".
- Light the candle and say:
- Starting with your apple beverage as a base, slowly add your ingredients, focusing on the intention all along.
- Stir it six times in a clockwise direction while focusing on your intention. We stir six times because, in numerology, the number 6 represents love, fertility, and Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
- Drink your love potion. Feel free to make as much or as little as you like. If you are drinking it to fire up your current relationship, drink it together with your partner. If it's someone else, consider the importance of consent.

Choose the best time to cast the spell
The Full Moon 🌕 favors communication and social interaction. This phase is very favorable to deal with romantic issues and love spells, as it can be a true aphrodisiac. When you write your own spells, you should work with correspondences. Love potions are not different. Wait for the right time by picking the best day of the week and the best planetary time.
Write down your intention
Before you begin to craft the love potion, write your intention down on a piece of paper. Your intention should be written in the present tense – something like “I attract loving individuals into my life.” It’s very important to write your intention in the present tense, announcing to the universe that it already belongs to you.
Avoid phrases like “Mike is passionately in love with me” or anything that disregards the consent of another person. This love potion is for attracting a love that’s meant for you, not to be focused on an unsuspecting target.
Cleanse your space, tools, and spell components
While many choose to cleanse by burning incense, you can do so by ringing bells or chimes, sprinkling Moon Water, or using other purifying herbs, crystals, or oils. If burning something isn’t an option for you, whatever cleansing method you prefer will be just perfect!
Cast a circle for protection
How the circle is cast will depend on your practice. Some practitioners may choose to start by calling the quarters or asking for protection from their chosen deities or angels. If you have another method of protecting yourself during your practice, then that’s totally valid as well.
When you finish making your potion, blow out the candle and clear your circle in your preferred method – your work here is done. Be sure to thank your deities and spirit guides for their participation. Some practitioners cut their circle with an athame to signify that the ritual is complete.
Stir your potion as you speak your intent
Always stir clockwise in spellwork when your intention is to draw something in, like love, relationships, money, or anything you may wish to manifest. Counter-clockwise motions are used for banishing, so try to avoid it for this potion. If you choose, you can speak or chant your intention aloud as you stir.
