- Note
- "Love magic is celebrating one´s love for the self, and being the love that is wanted from another. Romantic love requests an equal partner to enjoy sex. It can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as written spells, dolls, charms, amulets, potions, or different rituals.
Love magic has been a branch of magical practice, and a topos in literature and art, for many centuries. It is attested on cuneiform tablets from the ancient Near East, in ancient Egyptian texts, in the Greco-Roman world, the Middle Ages, and up to the present day. It is used in the story of Heracles and Deianeira, also in Richard Wagner´s opera Tristan and Isolde, Donizetti´s The Elixir of Love (L´Elisir d´amore), and Manuel de Falla´s ballet El amor brujo (The magic of love)." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.09.2019)
