Love Spell Reversal

If someone has worked love magic on you to bind you against your will, this is how you break it. You’ll make a paper talisman of two Venus pentacles from the Key of Solomon, consecrate it to Aphrodite, and call on the four spirits of the pentacles to free you from the bonds of coerced love.

What you need

• A piece of paper
• Green ink
• A tealight candle
• A stick of incense

When

Make and consecrate the talisman on a Friday, in an hour of Venus. The first hour after sunrise on a Friday belongs to Venus; a planetary hours calculator will give you the others.

Make the talisman

Using the green ink, draw the First Pentacle of Venus on one side of the paper, and the Fourth Pentacle of Venus on the other side.

Side one: the First Pentacle of Venus.

Side two: the Fourth Pentacle of Venus.

(Pentacle art by the amazing Adeline Soothtell.)

Consecrate it

Light the tealight candle and the stick of incense as an offering to Aphrodite.

Then recite the Orphic Hymn to Venus.

The Orphic Hymn to Venus

HEAVENLY, illustrious, laughter-loving queen,
Sea-born, night-loving, of an awful mien;
Crafty, from whom necessity first came,
Producing, nightly, all-connecting dame:
Tis thine the world with harmony to join,
For all things spring from thee, power divine.
The triple Fates are ruled by thy decree,
And all productions yield alike to thee:
Whatever the heavens, encircling all contain,
Earth fruit-producing, and the stormy main,
Thy sway confesses, and obeys thy nod,
Awful attendant of the brumal God:
Goddess of marriage, charming to the sight,
Mother of Loves, whom banquetings delight;
Source of persuasion, secret, favouring queen,
Illustrious born, apparent and unseen:
Spousal, lupercal, and to men inclined,
Prolific, most-desired, life-giving, kind:
Great sceptre-bearer of the Gods, tis thine,
Mortals in necessary bands to join;
And every tribe of savage monsters dire
In magic chains to bind, thro mad desire.
Come, Cyprus-born, and to my prayer incline,
Whether exalted in the heavens you shine,
Or pleased in Syrias temple to preside,
Or over the Egyptian plains thy car to guide,
Fashioned of gold; and near its sacred flood,
Fertile and famed to fix thy blest abode;
Or if rejoicing in the azure shores,
Near where the sea with foaming billows roars,
The circling choirs of mortals, thy delight,
Or beauteous nymphs, with eyes cerulean bright,
Pleased by the dusty banks renowned of old,
To drive thy rapid, two-yoked car of gold;
Or if in Cyprus with thy mother fair,
Where married females praise thee every year,
And beauteous virgins in the chorus join,
Adonis pure to sing and thee divine;
Come, all-attractive to my prayer inclined,
For thee, I call, with holy, reverent mind.

The request to Aphrodite

Aphrodite, I ask that you send now the four spirits of the Pentacles of Venus, Nogahiel, Acheliah, Socohiah and Nangariel. By their Names and their Seals I call them forth, to bless and consecrate these rites, and to empower this talisman to free me, and anyone else, from the bonds of coerced love.

The release

Acheliah and Socohiah, I call upon you specifically: release me from any coercive love spells cast against me.

The close

As you came in peace, go forth in power.
