To Make Love Stay

Find a pair of twisted carrots or other root vegetables which look like two people embracing. The planet Mercury, the ruler of communication, governs carrots. If you can’t find carrots or other root vegetables of the suitable shape, you can tie two carrots together with silver or grey thread.
 
 Give one carrot your name and the other carrot the name of the one you desire. Put them in a tall glass of water, and freshen the water daily. When the water bubbles from the carrots and begins to rise to the waters surface, remove the carrots. Prepare and cook the edible part and include them in a meal you will preferably share with your loved one.
