HOW TO BE LUCKY IN LOVE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



Gypsies carry a little five-finger grass, or cinquefoil (Potentialla 
canadensis), for luck. TO have some in your pocket will make YOU lucky in love 
as well.

Bay leaves work much like five-finger grass. To carry a bay leaf is to carry 
luck. When you write a letter to your loved one, enclose a bay leaf in the 
envelope and it will increase his or her love for you.

Acorns are tokens of sexual love and desire. To have an acorn in your pocket 
when you meet with your love is to live dangerously! If you are feeling amorous, 
slip an acorn into your love's pocket without him or her knowing, and see what 
happens.

Lodestone is a natural magnet. It works for love. As with the acorns (above), 
carry a lodestone and slip a second one into your lover's pocket. They will draw 
you together.

Gypsies believe that if a woman sprinkles dried lavender (or passion flower) in 
a man's hatband , he will always think of her. (There is a similar charm whereby 
to sprinkle bracken in a man's hatband will make him cranky -- not 
recommended!).

Love Pebbles: Find a round, white stone about the size of a large acorn. This 
should be one that you just happen to come across rather than one you diligently 
search for. Wash it in pure spring water and let it dry. Then with red paint 
print your lover's initials on one side of it and your own on the other. Give it 
to your love to carry with him or her, in pocket or purse, and it will bring the 
two of you together. This spell can be "doubled." Both of you can do the same 
thing, exchanging stones and then each carrying the one made by the other.
