Rose magic is gentle and loving. It’s a pleasure to write about rose witchcraft today…just as it’s a pleasure to do! I have 3 easy spells for you, but I’ll start with touching on the most important

Magical Properties of Roses

Love and Romance

The rose is associated with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Even a single rose at the entrance to your home or on your altar can be powerful magic. Tea with rose petals increases feelings of love and self-love. You can buy this tea here.

Beauty

Roses have been used in beauty charms and spells for thousands of years…and they’ve been used in practical beauty preparations for just as long. Rosewater is a good toner for the skin (I use this kind), and it also soothes the scalp and stimulates hair growth.

Emotional Healing

One of the metaphysical properties of roses is to ease stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. In magical spells, roses can help heal old emotional scars, help us nurture ourselves, and make us aware of our worth.

Physical Healing

Rose hip powder has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other types of joint pain. You can buy rosehip powder here. The scent of roses (aromatherapy) has also been shown to lower blood pressure.

5 long stem roses forming a pentagram

 

Rose Magic Love Spell


Best done on a Friday during the waxing moon, especially when the moon is in Libra.

Arrange five long-stem roses to form a pentagram. This may take a little time, and you may need to trim a stem or two. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

Set a candle in the center of the pentagram (I prefer a pink rose-scented votive, but a white candle or, really, any candle will do) and light it. Close your eyes and spend a few minutes imagining or envisioning the relationship you want. As with all candle spells, let the candle burn all the way down.

rose petals and rolled up paper

 

Rose Petal Beauty Charm


Best made on a Friday during the waxing moon, especially when the moon is in Leo. Scorpio is also good for seductive beauty.

Let’s be clear here: you are already beautiful, a child of the goddess. Beauty spells reveal your beauty more clearly to yourself and others.

You will need a small bag, a small piece of paper and a pen, a candle (I prefer a pink candle and/or a rose-scented candle, but you can use what you have), and fresh rose petals. I usually use little fabric bags that held earrings; you could also order organza bags for your charms or tie the items up in a scarf or handkerchief. A rose quartz crystal is optional. 

Light the candle and say, “Venus, goddess of beauty and love, imbue this charm with your power.”

Close your eyes for a minute or two and envision that rose unfolding from a bud to full bloom.

Write six times on the piece of paper, “My beauty reveals itself like a blooming rose.” (Six is the number associated with Venus.)

Read this out loud six times. 
Now fold the piece of paper and put it in your charm bag along with the rose petals and the rose quartz, if you are using one.

Put the charm bag under your pillow until the next New Moon. When you go to bed at night, envision the blooming rose again, and envision yourself becoming more beautiful and attracting the admiration of others.  

 

 

 

 

Rose Milk Ritual Bath for Self-Love


Best done on a Monday, Friday, or Sunday on a waxing moon.

Grind a cup or so of rolled oats in a blender, food processor, or coffee grinder to make a powder and add it to a running bath. This will make the water milky (and if your skin is itchy, it’ll soothe it.) Once the bath is drawn, add a few handfuls of fresh rose petals on the surface.

Light a few candles and set them on the rim of the tub or elsewhere in the bathroom. If they are rose-scented, all the better, but use what you have.

Using a music source that is well away from the bathtub, play the beautiful music of your choice. I recommend music without lyrics, such as classical.

Take the bath by candlelight only. Close your eyes summon visions of yourself as a goddess or queen, beloved by all. If this is difficult, you can also focus on mantras such as “I am beautiful inside and out,” “I am a daughter/child of the goddess,” and “I am cherished and loved.”
