Spells of Rose and Cacao

She stirs the cauldron deosil, for sunwise grows the good in all things. She stirs in steady, strong sweeps, dips, and circles. All the while, the spell's words are spoken softly, dropped like spices into the depths of her brew, like wishes in a sacred well.

She is making rose cacao for all the closed hearts that long to be opened. These twin-soul ingredients will be drunk down by people whose tenderness has turned to stone, whose compassion has worn threadbare, who have been hurt too much by all the little cuts of life, until every movement hurts them so. With this healing brew of rose petals (deepest crimson for love, for strength, for beauty, for an open heart) and the potent cacao, the heart will open again.

They will feel deeply and exquisitely more than just the pain of life. They will again feel the bliss that lies beyond the pain, the bliss that, for some, has fled from their lives.

When these two plant healers merge within the cauldron of the solitary witch, when the magickal words are spoken, hearts broken and hearts closed, hearts frozen and hearts withered will begin to beat again with sheer joy at this existence — they may even open up to the loving of themselves once again. The cure for this world’s hurts is love. The cure for people’s pain is love. The cure for our loss and abandonment is love. And it sometimes takes a wise one to send out a spell to open the hearts of the many.

The heart will awaken when kissed by the magick of the rose cacao. Lovers will smile when they drink in this bliss. And friends forgotten will re-enter barren lives once more. Her world will blossom into love and sweetness once again.

A ceremony to fall again in love with life. The blessing of love magick. Ceremonial sharing of sacred foods. Opening the heart after a time of great caution. A return to believing in the magick of love. Gifting yourself love magick that focuses on the receptivity and wisdom of an open heart filled with blessings.

A heart that feels little, to protect itself. Disbelief that sharing or ritual or magick exist anymore. A loss of the joy and magick of life. A fear of love, even a desire to love no more. A heart closed to others and to the possibility of deep love for the self. Too much pain from rejection. Relationships that curdle and become bitter.
