Valentines Day Magick
Valentine’s day is nearing, and it had me thinking about the love we share with our family. I see a lot of love spells for partners or to attract love but not much for the love and connection between parents, children, and the home as a whole. Though we traditionally think of passion, fire, and romance between partners on valentines day, the family and household definitely deserve some attention too. It is essential during the tail end of winter when there isn’t enough snow to play in, but it isn’t warm either. We are all suffering from a bit of cabin fever, we are tired of school, we don’t have any way to burn our excess energy, and sometimes a bit snappy with each other. So I’ve rustled up a few correspondences and ideas for magical aid in this area. And the best part is, you can do these any time of the year.
