Hello William dear, The first and most important bit of advice that I can offer you is to go and talk to your love. Tell her the same things that you have told me here. Explain to her that you have realized the error of your former ways and that you would very much like to make amends and set things right between you. And well, if she still feels for you the way you feel for her, hopefully she will respond well to your honesty and to the fact that you are laying your heart on the line for her…. As to giving you magic to sway her emotions…. One of the most common questions that I hear is something along the lines of, “Is there a way / spell that will make someone want to be with me / love me?” Well, the short answer is, “No… there is not.” One of the core precepts of the Wiccan faith is to harm no other. If you are weaving spells or intoning rituals which are meant to sway the minds of others, then you are by definition harming them. Free will is one of the most precious gifts we have been granted. Spells and rituals that are designed to infringe upon that free will and force others to do things by your design, instead of in accord with their own will, steals that most precious of gift from them. In addition, whatever feelings or desires that they manifested for you would never be real or honest, but would instead simply be the manifestation of the magics. Would you really want to be with someone under those circumstances? Never really knowing if their feelings for you were genuine… or simply the product of magic? So, in this particular case, my best advice to you is to take the time and put in the effort to do things the old fashioned way. After all, anything really worth doing is certainly worth doing right. If it is meant to be, then there is no need to rush or hurry things – and you will be much happier in the long term from having not done something you would likely regret.
