Here’s a recipe to create exactly the right mood for romance. The verse at the end references the Garden of Eden before the fall. Gather the following:
- 1 ounce dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 ounce dried and pulverized rose hips
- 1⁄2 ounce dried lemon balm
- 1⁄2 ounce dried mint (ideally peppermint)
- 1⁄2 ounce dried meadowsweet
Stir ingredients together in a clockwise motion. Store in a dark, lidded jar.
To make tea, add two teaspoons of herbs for each cup of boiled water. Steep for five minutes while visualizing your heart’s desire, and before straining, say aloud:
Herbal brew of love's emotion,
with my wish I fortify.
When two people share this potion
their love shall intensify
as in the Olde Garden of Love.
as in the Olde Garden of Love.
Read the Tea Leaves
After sipping your tea, let the leaves guide you to your lover’s lair. The answer to where you should make love lies at the bottom of the cup.
As you study the leaves, keep in mind that the tea cup handle is south, and going clockwise around the circle, left is west, the top is north, and the east is to the right of the handle when the handle is toward you.
- North, you should tryst outside
- West, you should go to your bedroom
- South is in the kitchen or living room
- East is at your lover’s house
