Cast a V-Day spell to stay together forever

Has your lover strayed? Fiancé/fiancée run off with your best friend? Boyfriend been discovered in bed with your ex (this is the day of liberation after all)? Well, don’t come to Wicca with moans and groans and sniffles and complaints. Witches are selfish. If you

bore them to tears and act like utter drags, they’ll never see you. But — show some spirit, some self-respect, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll help.

Wicca does not believe in allowing its followers to become mushpots. It stands for dignity and strength. If you lose your own will to another, then you belong nowhere. Least of all to Wicca. Wicca is of the Goddess, of Kali and Diana; true ‘witches’ are those who break barriers and defy a male dominated society. They are the women who’ve dared to walk out of abusive relationships, to thumb their noses at dictatorial husbands and in-laws and boyfriends, and who’ve always believed that nothing, and I mean nothing, is worth the loss of their self-respect.

So, if you come to me with strength I give you a little tip below. If you’ve got the ‘love of your life’ at hand, why not cement the bond? True love and all that is very fine in romances. We witches don’t believe in all that jazz. We believe in us.

Love spell

Take a length of pink ribbon and a mirror with a handle. You must keep a picture of the beloved handy. Make three knots in the ribbon and after each knot, take the mirror in your hand so it reflects the picture in it. Look at it well each time. After the knots are made, place the ribbon in the centre of the mirror, face up. Now think of the person, focus the strength of your will on him/ her, and say the following once only

Aphrodite I seek of thee

Bless forever him/her and me

Now you must take the mirror with the ribbon and submerge it in water — be it a lake, a sea, or a crystal bowl of water.

Now, begone, and don’t worry me for some moons.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
