If you all need a spell to find love I feel sorry for you. Using magic to find love? Do you use Rufies to get laid? Pathetic either way id say. Don Juan the Latin Lover of Women ---

Of course, all these suggestions presuppose that you’ve already been able to convince her to go out with you in the first place, don’t they? (Not that I’m bitter. Grumble.) ---

Byz…an athame is just what Auraseer said 🙂 Donj …this whole thread is about How an article on a love spell was presented. Noone here is currently seeking a set of instructions for one. Not that I advocate things like that…but I am not going to say they cannot be done. “Byzantine has venomous tongue…where can I get one?” ---

Brithy, dearest, if you rub people you meet in real life the wrong way, the way that you seem to have rubbed the denizens of this board, you should probably start working on your own love potions posthaste. ---

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Cecil Adam’s website is about the last place you’d expect to find people who cast spells and talk seriously about ‘magick’? ---

Havent you heard Neuro-? The wars over. And in my opinion “venomous tongue” is a compliment. Now normally i woul put something smart-assed right here…but i dont really want another conflict just yet. I have to do some studying in my insult book first hehe \. And in other news…WHY is it so hard for people to grasp that a person or persons would actually talk about Magick here? Well not HERE but you know what I mean. I find the religious debates very amusing. This in my opinion is on the same level. and for the record yet again. I do not work Magick. Its not a necessary tenet of my belief system. and i think the guy who was asking for the Love spel was just trying to get a rise out of Cecil. “any movement wasted…is lost” -Bruce Lee ---

I don’t expect to find \*believers in Magick here. The Straight Dope has always been about rationality, rejecting things without logical basis or evidence, etc. So finding people here that believe in ‘magick’, new age crystals, etc. is somewhat akin to walking into a Flat-Earth society meeting and finding Stephen Hawking there. ---
