If you want to invite new love into your life, this is a particularly gentle yet powerful spell to do. Made with the energy of Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and harmony, this rite actively works on opening a space within you to receive love, at the same time inviting the same energy into your surroundings.

The spell is not about calling that particular person into your life but about allowing yourself to embody heart-centred energy, which will, in turn, attract love that is in resonance with your soul.

Materials Needed:

• A red or pink candle (for passion and love)
• Dried or fresh rose petals (for romance and beauty)
• A piece of rose quartz (for self-love and attracting love energy)

Timing: Best done on a Friday, which is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and connection.

Preparations

Find a quiet and calm location where you will be able to focus properly on your spell. Cleanse the area by lighting a little sage or any incense sticks that will help clear the surroundings of all stale energy. If possible, choose a place where one will not be disturbed, preferably near a window where the light of day or light from the moon can flow in.

Friday is perfect for love spells because this day is ruled by Venus, increasing the power of love, compassion, and attraction.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the area

Place the candle in the centre of your working space. If you want to attract a passionate love, then use red; for a soft, gentle relationship, use pink. Sprinkle the rose petals all over the candle in a circle, creating a sacred boundary that will hold the energy of the spell. Place the rose quartz stone in the middle of the circle directly next to the candle.

This stone is believed to promote feelings of self-love and is said to radiate a frequency that attracts loving energy toward you.

Step 2: Light the candle.

Light the candle and concentrate on the flame; the power of love should be warm. Feel the energy of the light emitting from the candle and filling the space around, reaching toward your heart. Take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to fully relax. Let the glow of the candle connect you with the energy of Venus, allowing it to open you to the beauty and strength of love.

Step 3: Imagining Your Ideal Lover

Now close your eyes and start to visualise the kind of love you would want in your life. You see yourself happy, supported, and appreciated. You envision the characteristics of your partner: kindness, understanding, respect, passion. You visualise all the happy times, closeness, and harmony—feeling how they resonate deep inside of you. Not visualising any particular person, but qualities that would really make your heart sing.

Hold this vision for a few minutes and allow the energy to build up, filling your heart with warmth and possibility.

Step 4: The Incantation

When you are ready, repeat the following words out loud with conviction and meaning:

“By the flame and by the rose,

Love to me shall grow and flow. Venus, guide my heart’s desire,

Set love a fire, with passions flame.

Repeat these words three times, allowing the power to settle in. Visualise the rose petals absorbing your intention, creating an aura around you that magnetically draws love toward you.

Step 5: Setting the Talisman

Having said that incantation, now pick up the rose quartz and hold it against your heart. Feel it drawing in this loving energy from the spell. Set the intention that the quartz will now become a magnet for love, drawing energies that resonate with your vision just set. Carry this rose quartz with you as a talisman to remind you of your openness to love and the qualities you are seeking. You can wear it as a pendant, keep it in a pocket, or place it next to your bed so that it may be constantly radiating its vibration of love into your energy field each day.

Step 6: Closing the Spell

After you’ve set your intention, take a final moment to thank the energy of Venus, the candle, and the rose petals for their support in your ritual. Extinguish the candle, either by snuffing it with a candle snuffer or placing a lid over it (avoid blowing it out, as it can disrupt the energy of the spell).

Last Words

This Rose Petal Love Attraction Spell is about tuning in to the kind of love you would want to experience, while at the same time, inviting a deep connection into your life. Remember, love comes in so many forms—sometimes in ways we least expect. Be open to the journey and know that your intention has set things moving in motion. Holding the rose quartz as a talisman, you are constantly inviting love’s energy into your life. Remember to hold yourself with love and kindness, as love we draw into our lives often reflects the love we hold for ourselves.
