To add zest to a long-term relationship, working alone light five spice-scented candles, surrounding yourself in a circle of fragrant light. Pour grape seed oil into a small bowl, saying: “Our foundation is a sure vessel, but it can carry more spice.” Add seven drops of sandalwood oil, saying: “Sensual scent of ancient sanders, bless our union.” Add three drops of orange oil, saying: “Newlywed playfulness, bless this union;” add three drops of geranium oil, saying: “Banal troubles flee, let our love be free.” Pass the bowl over each candle flame, mentally enlivening the love-balm with vibrant fire-qualities as you go. When you are both ready for magic, light all of the candles, lay your lover on the bed and massage with the oil, picturing as you do so what exactly you wish from the relationship. Now work your will on your pliant partner
