  Love Spell of the Ancient Egyptians

  Write the name of your desired person and your own on a piece of white paper with a sharpened quill.
Fold it toward you three times, place it into a small jar, and pour honey over it.
Add rose petals or a dab of rose oil to the jar.
Seal the jar, then light a pink candle (for love) or red candle (for passion) on top.
Carefully burn the candle for a few minutes each night for at least three nights.
On the third night, remove the paper from the jar and hold it carefully over the candle flame
until it dries up, blackens, and falls to pieces. Snuff the candle flame with your fingers.
Dip your finger in the liquid in the jar, touch it to your lips, close your eyes,
and speak the name of your desired one aloud seven times.

 




LITERARY CORNER


Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
--Robert Frost


Amoretti XXX

My Love is like to ice, and I to fire:
How comes it then that this her cold so great
Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,
But harder grows the more I her entreat?
Or how comes it that my exceeding heat
Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold,
But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,
And feel my flames augmented manifold?
What more miraculous thing may be told,
That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice,
And ice, which is congeal'd with senseless cold,
Should kindle fire by wonderful device?
Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind.
--Edmund Spenser


Lost Innocence

When I was five, the standing water froze
In the dip that centered our backyard
Grandpa bought me crimson skates of steel
Braving falls, I learned to swoop the ice
Dancing to music that my mind composed

The river froze the year I turned thirteen
I was forbidden to go near the ice
But my best friend and I ignored the ban
Ventured onto blue-white glossiness
And skated there, winter's king and queen

Seasons passed before I took my son
Buckled small red skates on tiny feet
Taught him to love crisp ice just like I did
To glide and conquer sheets of magic glass
To skate until his world with rapture spun

Ice was my friend, my joy, my winter glee
The word was one that brought my heart delight
Then came a monster to recast its charm
Who twisted ice and transformed loveliness
To venom, hate and inhumanity.
-Selsi




"Then I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.
Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'--
I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready.
An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build--why, I'll be there."--John Steinbeck
