   I have a book on Druidic practices, and it happens to have a
recipie for an item called "Love potion tea."  I hope it may be of
service.

LOVE POTION TEA

	1 pinch of rosemary
	2 teaspoons of black tea
	3 pinches thyme
	3 pinches nutmeg
	3 fresh mint leaves
	6 fresh rose petals
	6 lemon leaves
	3 cups pure spring water
	Sugar
	Honey

	To make another person fall in love with you, brew this tea on
a Friday during a waxing (moving from full to empty) moon.
[Correction: Waxing = moving from empty to full. --Ceci]
	Place all ingredients in an earthenware or copper tea kettle.
Boil three cups of pure spring water and add to the kettle.  Sweeten
with sugar and honey, if desired.

	Before drinking, recite this magical rhyme:

	BY LIGHT OF MOON WAXING
I BREW THIS TEA
TO MAKE [lover's name] DESIRE ME.

Drink some of the tea and say:

GODDESS OF LOVE
HEAR NOW MY PLEA
LET [lover's name] DESIRE ME!

SO MOTE IT BE
SO MOTE IT BE

	On the following Friday, brew another pot of the love potion
tea and give some to the person you want to love you.  He or she will
soon begin to fall in love with you.

Good luck  ;)
