As February moves full steam ahead, the celebration of love takes center stage. Whether you are in a relationship or single, it is an excellent opportunity to honor your inner goddess with love-centric rituals.
If you plan to commemorate Valentine's Day, perhaps a candlelit dinner for two at an elegant winery in the countryside is on the cards. Alternatively, you might opt for a cozy Netflix marathon with your furry friend.
Whichever path you choose, make your Valentine's Day special with these enchanting tips and rituals.
Set sparks in your Heart with red & pink candles
As Love is the Light of the Soul, red and pink are its colors, utilizing red and pink candles during your rituals can be a powerful way to draw love or rekindle a connection.
Red is associated with passion, desire, and love, while pink symbolizes romance and affection. To ignite passion in a current relationship, simply light a red candle and visualize the flame representing the passion between you and your partner growing stronger.
If you feel like the spark has dimmed in your relationship, try lighting a pink candle and visualizing the love and passion returning, bringing back the excitement and connection you once shared.
To attract true love into your life, light a red candle and visualize the qualities you desire in a partner, while focusing on sending out positive energy to attract the love you seek.
Aphrodite bath ritual
Experience the timeless practice of a ritual bath that incorporates elements revered by the love goddess Aphrodite, invoking feelings of love, attraction, and inner beauty. 
To perform this sacred act, gather your tools: 9 red or pink roses, 10 drops of therapeutic grade vanilla essential oil, 5 drops of therapeutic grade rose essential oil, 2 red, pink, or white candles, and a lighter.
Begin drawing a hot bath that is slightly hotter than comfortable, but not scalding. Add the essential oils to the water and separate the rose petals from their stems, scattering them evenly throughout the bathwater. As the candles are lit, kneel by the water, closing your eyes and visualizing your inner beauty emerging and shining through your physical body.
Stepping into the water, allow yourself to be enveloped in the sacred space you have created, gently letting go of negative self-talk and making a vow to speak kindly to yourself and your partner in the days and weeks to come.
Spend as much time as you desire in this space, allowing the flower petals to drift through your fingers, before closing your sacred space and extinguishing the candles.
Illuminate your love with the power of Rose Water
Rose Water has been a crucial ingredient in the practice of Magic. By creating your own concoction, you infuse it with your own desires and make it more potent.
This magical ingredient is particularly powerful in summoning the Deities and Spirits associated with Planet Venus, such as Aphrodite and Isis. 
Rosewater can be added to potions for attraction magic and used to dab candles intended for love spells.
Another way to indulge in this luxurious ingredient is by creating an Aphrodite bath using rose petals, a few drops of rose essential oil, and fresh milk.
Also, anointing oneself with rosewater before a romantic evening can evoke the essence of love and attraction.
Enchant your food with aphrodisiac
Elevate your Valentine's Day dinner with a sprinkle of herbs such as mint, basil, and cinnamon. These powerful ingredients can stimulate the expansion of blood vessels and improve blood circulation, leading to heightened arousal.
Get your party started with a tantalizing fruit salad made from bananas and pineapples, both containing bromelain, an enzyme that spurs testosterone production and blood circulation. These fruits are also a rich source of vitamin B and potassium, which help increase energy levels.
As a bonus tip, any phallic-shaped fruit or vegetable can also be considered an aphrodisiac, as the mere thought of it being beneficial for intimacy can have a positive effect.
Get your hearts pumping
Indulging in your senses means being fully present in your physical body, and there's no better way to explore this with your partner than through movement.
You can let your intuition guide you in choosing what feels most natural.
There are various ways to try this out:
Experience the pleasure of dance together - choose between classic romantic tunes or upbeat favorites to connect with your body's natural rhythm.
Deepen your intimacy with partner yoga - consider heart-opening or hip-opening exercises depending on your mood.
Boost your physical and emotional well-being by working out with your partner - sweating together and increasing your serotonin levels will help you feel confident and fully embody your sensuality.
Brew a love potion tea
Elevate your romantic evening with a cup of Love Potion, concocted with rosemary, cinnamon, thyme, hibiscus, and honey. Take it up a notch and turn it into a whole date.
Enjoy the slow and sensual process of preparing the tea. Marvel at the beauty and fragrance of each herb before dropping it into the water, relish in the sensation of their textures.
Use this moment to calm your mind and connect with your senses. Breathe in the warm and loving scent of the herbs.
Set your intention for the evening and infuse it into the brew while it simmers. Whether it be a desire for an open-hearted connection or a complete relaxation of the mind and body, let it merge with the tea.
Create a warm and cozy atmosphere for you and your partner to indulge in the anticipation of the night ahead. Snuggle with your love or wrap yourself in a soft blanket as you relish in the Love Potion and the connection it brings.
And here is a bonus tip because life is full of everyday miracles if we just know where to look!
Charge your keys, infuse them with a charm of love, and prepare yourself for a home that is more inviting, warm, and loving!
