Herbs for Love
Love correspondences open the heart — to a new partner, a deeper bond, or simply to loving yourself. Rose quartz and rose are the best known, but many stones and herbs carry love energy, from warm, passionate red and pink ones to gentle plants used for fidelity and lasting affection.

How to use herbs for love
- Sew or tie a pinch into a sachet or charm bag and carry it, or hang it by the door.
- Burn dried herbs as incense or a smoke bundle — with a window open.
- Scatter them across a threshold, add them to a ritual bath, or roll a candle in them.
- Never eat or drink an herb for magic without checking it’s safe — several here are toxic or unsafe in pregnancy.
