Spell to Make Your Crush Notice You
What you will need:
- Wine glass
- Ring
- Red silk ribbon
The Spell:
There is someone in whom you are very much interested. He or she seems to notice you but makes no move to develop a relationship. This is not a spell to draw that loved one to you, but more to "open the way," so that if there is interest there, he or she will feel free to make advances.
Instructions:
You should set a wine glass on the table. Then, suspend a ring from a length of red silk ribbon. Holding the ribbon between thumb and forefinger, as a pendulum, with the elbow resting on the table, let the ring hang in the mouth of the wine glass. Initially you should try to keep the ring still.
In a loud, clear voice, call out your own name, followed by the name of your would-be love. Repeat the name of your love twice more (three times in all). Then, thinking of them, allow the ring to swing until it clinks against the side of the wine glass, once for each letter as you spell out the name.
Now take the ribbon and tie it about your neck, allowing the ring to hang down on your chest over the heart. Wear it for three weeks. Every Friday repeat the above ritual. By the end of the third week, if it is meant to be, then the loved one will come to you.

However, do not forget about reason in all of this - do not take too many things on your shoulders because you can not do it! However, difficult moments will not keep you away.
Gemini: The only thing you really need in the coming days is to escape from everything. You need a rest from the surrounding hustle and bustle, noise, daily duties and problems.
