For Love Boil yarrow into a tea, prick the third finger of your hand, add three drops of blood, and give to your beloved. Never cut parsley with a knife if you are in love or bad luck will come your way. Salt tossed on the fire for seven days will bring an errant lover home. Charms for wandering husbands: feather, hair, blood, bone. Prick a candle with a pin. When the flame burns down to the pin, your true love will arrive. To win the favor of Venus in all matters of love gather a white garment, a dove, a circle, a star, the seventh day, the seventh month, the seven stars.
