To Keep A Lover Close

Light an orange candle. In red ink on orange paper 60mm(2.5 in) square write your complete name followed by you lover’s name. Underneath write your date of birth, followed by his or her date of birth. Write over the same words and numbers three times.

With the writing facing inside, repeatedly fold the paper so it is as small as possible. Hold the paper in the candle flame, and say these words:

This flame of passion is hot,
You will leave me not.

Drop the paper into a saucer swiftly, before it burns your fingers.
