Red Rose Ritual

Take the petals from the 7 red roses and place them in your mortar with a small amount of sweet almond oil. Slowly grind the petals with the pestle into a paste, all the while thinking of the energy and beauty of those prefect red roses blooms becoming a part of you. Focus all your loving thoughts, all your sensual feelings, on this process and infuse the potion with your own personal magic.

When you have prepared a paste, take 7 part of sorbolene cream for each part of the mixture and blend until utterly smooth. Store in a colored glass bottle (colored glass shields the delicate properties and scent of the mixture from sunlight, which will rob the potion of its strength.) After bathing each night, stand naked before your mirror and slowly smooth this potion on to your body.

Repeat the following chant 7 times: "I love and honor the beauty and workings of my Goddess- given form. I thank the Universe for its health and the pleasure it brings to me and to my lovers". Enjoy the sensual feelings provoked by rubbing your body with this nourishing lotion, and breathe in the delicious and delicate aroma.

This is very powerful work with wonderful results. For optimum effect, repeat seven times for seven weeks, starting on a Friday night (for Aphrodite, the Goddess aspect of love and beauty).
