Handfasting and Love Magic

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

Spring is starting around here, and that means love is in the air! In this episode, we discuss the history and practices of handfasting and love magic. We also share two spells that we’re written, in addition to correspondences for love-based magic.

Handfasting has become more popular over the last decade—we should know, because when we got married, we had our own handfasting ceremony of sorts! We talk about some basic handfasting practices and traditions, and a bit about our handfasting ceremony, which was based on ancient heathen traditions.

Love magic is one of the earliest, and probably most popular types of magic out there. It’s been used to influence someone to love you, to strengthen the love between two people, get an ex to leave you alone, to increase desire, and more. There is much to discuss regarding love magic: from ancient spells to modern practices to ethics, and this will be the first of several episodes about love magic.
