That depends on your definition of "love potions". If you consider Viagra to be a love potion, then yes, that works. If, however, you think you can make somebody love you by reciting some verses and eating the heart of a chicken (or something along those lines) then no, that doesn't work.

If it was me I'd be rolling on the floor laughing as soon as he started talking. I'm not into the mushy stuff. You want me be a man about it. A big. hairy, man.

There are different levels of "mushy stuff". Big hairy men can be romantic too, you know. ;-)

P.W. what ancient pre-Christian religion are you referring to?

It depends. If you do a spell on YOURSELF to bring love into your life, it can work. This gets you to concentrate on yourself and clear the areas of your life (and let us be honest, personality) that block love from entering into your life.

As far as love spells on a particular person to bring that particular person into your life, I do not believe so. Love cannot be manufactured or conjured. Some people believe that spells will work for infatuation, lust, and obsession, but those are not love. They are also a violation of the other person's free will; therefore, a significant violation of the Wiccan Rede.

If you need to know the answer to this question you're probably the same kind of looser who needs some Barry White and candles to get laid.

Pathetic.

Earn it yourself.

No, you need love potion # 8.
Only try love potion #9 if you are in true love.
Spells may have psychological impact on the person suing them sort of like the placebo affect.
I don't believe in the occult so that is my best explanation.

Sounds like it was laced with LSD or something LOL :)

eternal0void Aug, 27 2007 at 10:34 AM

I don't believe in the occult either but I know that a potion of minty freshness will certainly help in the ways of love. ;-)

Stewie_G Aug, 27 2007 at 12:37 PM

That is certainly within the scope of possibility! ;)

Love potions and love spells need to be approached in the right way to have the preferred effect. You need to keep the perspective of changing yourself rather than changing others. Forcibly changing others, at least according to the Threefold Law, would result in something three times as bad happening back to you in return, and probably including the end of your forced relationship.

So you must approach it from the perspective of gaining knowledge and personal growth. Cast spells which help you gain knowledge about the object of your affection, such that you become aware of their likes and dislikes and thus are more able to keep their attention. Create potions and perfumes which make you more attractive to the object of your affection, though without going overboard into outright coercion.

If you gain the love that you seek, rejoice! If the spells and the potions do not result in the love that you desire, accept what has happened and move on with your life.

I could not say the "Love potion" itself works,or the belief in the potion and the ceremony connected with it.The mind is very powerful and if one is one pointed on fulfilling a desire most likely it was the mind itself that did it,and not the physical love potion.

Without the potion the mind may not have had the strong enough belief that it could accomplish the goal. If what you say is true then people could simply think the pain away without any training in thinking pain away, and without the placebo "painkiller". This is most often not the case.

jin jang Aug, 27 2007 at 10:59 AM

I agree that the potion itself would have to be present in the ritual.

Surprisingly, you actually have to put FAITH into believing it will work. Also, to accurately cast a love spell, you would probably have to cast some version of a circle (which I do not reccomend doing for your very first time). However, casting certain types of love spells, such as upon a specific person, are considered by many to be black Magick because it interferes with a person's free will.
Comment: Spells are actually NOT the "occult", they are a form of directed energy, and happen to be widely misunderstood by people I like to lovingly call "Muggles". Yes, it's a Harry Potter thing, and I can't get enough, so I adopted some of the lingo.
Blessed Be.

seriously im still looking for research to see if they are tru or not. Hmmm what about the Ouiji Board anyone tried it. I (knock on wood and God forbid)have never or ever will use it

ImNotLikeYou Jul, 09 2007 at 08:07 PM

Eh. Ouija boards are very dangerous to use, so I wouldn't recommend using them for anything, unless you're really desperate. I still keep one around just in case.

eternal0void Aug, 27 2007 at 10:39 AM

I'm not sure about the "lets send energy to someone far away" spells, but most of the "affect the self" spells are remarkably similar to many modern techniques of self-affirmations and to various forms of visualization therapy, such as writing down your troubles on a slip of paper and then burying or burning it. Spells, prayer, self-affirmations, they all seem to overlap without needing anything supernatural to accomplish the goals.

I would definitely not dabble in love potions or spells.. would you really want someone to affect your free will??
