TO KEEP A LOVER FAITHFUL

You will need:

footprints in the dirt

clipping of a bedsheet

small whisk broom or matchbook or index card

sterilized needle and red thread

To perform this spell, you must obtain two very important ingredients. The first is a footprint in the dirt from your lover's right shoe. This is necessary to head(and keep) you lover in the right direction. The second item is a small clipping of bedsheet (unlaundered) upon which you have made passionate love to each other. Cut a square by four inches. This will be a sympathetic magical link to your love. The remaining items will vary depending upon the nature of your relationship.

Take a small whisk broom or even a matchbook or index card and scrape up the footprint made in the dirt. If you find this impossible to obtain, I recommend the following: Dust the bathroom floor with talcum powder while your lover is in the shower. When he or she steps out, you will have a footprint. Sweep it up and save as soon as possible. Bare footprints are actually more potent than shoeprints because they capture the sole of your partner.

Another method is to take a pair of your lover's favorite most worn out shoes (shoes that contain his or her essence) and obtain the print yourself by placing your right hand in the right shoe and then pressing the shoe in the dirt. This must be done using dirt from a crossroads. A crossroads is any place where two streets intersect and the road continues on in all four directions for at least eight blocks with any obstruction.

Once you have obtained the footprint you must sprinkle it over the bedsheet clipping while chanting these words:

Stay at home, do not roam

You are mine, My Lover

Do not take another

Walk my way, every day.

Repeat this verse three times and then carefully roll up the fabric with the footprints inside.

This ritual must be completed at midnight on a full moon. It is best to begin your preparations on the new moon, thus giving you two and a half weeks to gather your footprint and your sheets -- well, I'll leave the sheets to your imagination. On the full moon take a sterilized needle and red thread. Prick your left thumb with the needle and anoint the thread with your blood. This will lend enormous power to the spell. Thread the needle and sew the open ends of the sheet square closed.

Now stand on the talisman you have created and repeat the verse three more times. Hold the talisman between your thighs and squeeze. Imagine your lover locked in your embrace. Move the talisman over your heart, open the center, and send love to your partner. Press it against your throat and visualize good communication between you and your partner. Kiss the talisman with your lips and then place it under the mattress to insure fidelity.
