Purpose
To gain the supernatural power to command desire—making anyone you choose fall hopelessly in love with you. The effect is vampiric in nature, but temporary unless the ritual is renewed every lunar cycle.
When to Perform:
- On the night of the full moon (symbolizing the fullness of your charm)
- Exactly at the stroke of midnight
- Alone, in a locked and silent room
Required Items:
- A mirror (preferably oval, framed in black or silver)
- A vial of red wine or pomegranate juice (symbolic blood)
- One black candle and one red candle
- A personal token of beauty (ring, necklace, locket)
- A drop of your own blood
- Rose petals (7, deep crimson)
- A small silver bowl
The Ritual:
1. Prepare the Space
Place the mirror so you can see your face in it. Put the black candle to your left, the red candle to your right, and the silver bowl between them. Scatter rose petals in a circle around the mirror.
2. Blood & Wine Offering
Pour the red wine/pomegranate juice into the bowl. Prick your finger and let one drop of your blood fall into it. Stir with your fingertip.
“My blood for beauty, my will for desire.”
3. Light the Candles
Light the black candle first (symbolizing shadow), then the red candle (symbolizing passion).
4. The Invocation (to be spoken slowly while staring into your own eyes in the mirror):
“By the hunger of the night, by the flame of the heart,
I summon the gift of the ancient fang.
Let my gaze become the moon that pulls the tide of longing,
Let my voice become the venom that sweetens love.
Blood to bind, breath to call,
Let all who meet my eyes be lost.
Let them dream of me waking,
Let them ache for my touch,
Let their hearts be mine to break or keep.
In the name of the dark lovers before me,
I drink this power.”
5. The Drinking
Drink from the bowl. Taste the mingled wine and your blood. Imagine it spreading through you like molten gold, settling behind your eyes and in your voice.
6. The Binding Gesture
Take your personal token of beauty and press it to your lips, then to your heart. Wear it whenever you wish to use your newfound power.
Signs the Ritual Worked:
- Your reflection appears subtly different—eyes more luminous, face slightly sharper.
- People you meet hold your gaze longer than before.
- Strangers blush, falter, or stammer when speaking to you.
- Those already fond of you become almost obsessively attentive.
Warnings:
- Every use of the compulsion weakens your own heart. If used recklessly, you may find yourself unable to feel genuine love.
- This power attracts vampires. They will sense the unnatural seduction and may come to claim you for themselves.
- If your token of beauty is stolen or broken, the enchantment collapses instantly.
