For A Woman's Love

To begin, you must be completely pure for three days - sunrise to sunrise, starting on Tuesday - eating little food and drinking only water. You must neither masturbate nor have sexual intercourse, neither harm nor insult any person, and you must avoid - to the best of your ability - to speak to any woman.

Before sunrise on the fourth day, which must be a Friday, mix together saffron, roses, violets, and frankincense into a single mixture, whether using a mechanical grinder or a mortar and pestle. Once fully incorporated, burn the mixture in a clean bowl and recite the following name seven times: "Nepherieri." This is a powerful hidden name of Aphrodite, which you must take care to keep secret now that you know it.

When this is done, put out the fire and pour the ashes eastward, towards the rising sun.

When you see the woman you wish to love you, speak the name "Nepherieri" in your heart seven times as you gaze at her. This process - repeating the name in your heart - must be done seven days in a row, and you will succeed.

Additional Notes:

• It is very possible to attract a man with a similar method and only minor changes to the operation, which should be obvious to most practitioners of magic.
• The occult name Nepherieri means "beautiful eyes," a fitting name for the goddess of love. It is only by this name that this spell works, for the beautiful eyes of Aphrodite aid your own gaze in attracting love.
• Avoid gazing for too long, for any person is repelled by such a thing, and I know little magic which can save you from such embarrassment.
• You are never to reveal the secrets of this operation to anyone, nor are you to tell anyone you are performing it, and you especially cannot let the woman you desire know.
