Vervain eases the pain of unrequited love. A cobweb on a door means your beloved has been untrue. To bring about passion: anise seed, burdock root, myrtle leaves. Amulets for luck are made of blue beads, dove feathers, mistletoe, wishbones. All spells increase with the waxing moon, decrease with the waning moon. Place two eggs under the bed to cleanse the atmosphere—destroy afterward. Do not eat or you will swallow bad fortune. A mirror beside you reflects back the evil eye. For protection against love: black cloth, red thread, clove, blackthorn.
