RITUAL #4

“KISSING THE RED”

The rose has always been considered a symbol of love. That’s why this beautiful flower has often been used as an attribute in many magical rituals. Most commonly, such rituals are intended for love spells.

The most well-known is called the "Rose of Love." The ritual is performed on any day during the waxing moon. A fresh red rose must be used for the magical ceremony. Make sure that no one touches the flower except you. 

To conduct the ritual, go to a secret place where you won't be disturbed and spend some time alone with the rose. Speak your desire for love over the rose. Gently kiss the rose and then hide it in a secluded spot.
