Merry Meet Proper preparation can improve your spellworking. These are not set-in-stone rules, but just some suggestions that you might want to keep in mind before casting your next spell.
Focus Your Intentions
Vague spells will give vague results. Think about exactly what you want to accomplish with your magick, and fine-tune your spell as best you can. A spell for happiness is nice, but you should identify what in your life is making you unhappy in the first place (job, relationships, family, etc.)
Dress the Part
This is not a necessary step, but having a particular piece of clothing or jewelry just for rituals can help put you in the right frame of mind before you even begin. Doesn't need to be a "Pagan" item either. Anything that makes you comfortable or magickal will do.
Learn the Spell
There is nothing wrong with performing a spell while reading from a book or printout. But it does detract from the flow of your work if you have to keep stopping to check the words or flip pages around because you don't know what to do next. You're have a much easier time focusing if you at least have a rough idea of the words and actions.
Get Your Supplies Together
You wouldn't start to bake cookies without first making sure you have all the ingredients you need. If working from an existing spell, gather everything together before you begin. If you are doing a spell from scratch, think about what supplies you will need and stick to that. Remembering something else while in the middle of your work is very distracting.
A Ritual Bath
While some traditions consider this to be an important part of the spell casting process, not all do. A ritual cleansing can be a bath, shower or even just taking a moment to wash your hands. You can use plain water or try using herbs, oils or even scented soaps. Clean away any negative energy before beginning your ritual.
Pick the Right Time
Though the proper time isn't crucial, it can add extra energy to your spellworking. Whether you choose to work by the phase of the moon, or the day of the week, you can select a time that suits the purpose of your spell.

Spell to fix a broken heart

I need to heal
be well'
. .'
Make Someone Dream of You
*pen and paper
*square of fabric, batting
*lavender
*rosemary
Determine precisely what it is you want that someone to hear, or perhaps feel. Write down your wish on a piece of paper in a simple form.
Make a dream pillow using a small square of fabric and a little batting. Throw in a pinch of lavender and rosemary. Put in the piece of paper last, then sew up the end.
Put the dream pillow on your altar. Do an altar devotion to center yourself, then create sacred space.
Center yourself, then hold your hands over the dream pillow and say the following:
'Holy Mother, Goddess Divine,
I stand before your sacred shrine.
This person won't listen or hear
My words tickle at deafened ear.
Holy Mother, Goddess Divine,
Send a dream, awaken the mind.
Through his/her vision he/she lives
The nightmare/passion/lesson he/she so freely gives.
Holy Mother, Goddess Divine
Send them your enchanted design
Clear out the cobwebs, tear down walls
Carry my message through spirit calls.'
To release an unwanted love
* two black candels
* one candle to represent the person
Do this during waning moon
Take your athame in your right hand and the candle in your left, reach out to the sky and say:
'Goddess of the Moon, Mother of all, Creator of Life,
I ask of thee to bless this candle in the name of.....'
Put the candle in the candleholder and light it. Say:
'God of the Sun, Horned Consort of the Goddess, Ruler of the day,
I ask of thee to bless this candle in the name of .....'
Reach to the sky with the candle in the holder in your hand and say:
'With this candle blessed in the name of ......
I command that he does not see me with the eyes of love
but now with the eyes of friends.
In the Goddess name I ask. Blessed be.'
Close the circle, blow out the candles but let the candle representing the other person burn out.
To reverse a love spell
*white candle
*white piece of silk
*white ribbon
During waning moon
Write your name and the name of your bewitched lover on the side of the candle. Light the candle and say:
'I burn this candle as the token of the spell that binds our love
Let this magic now be broken by the powers of the Gods above.'
Allow the candle to burn itself out. After the leftover wax had cooled and hardened, wrap it in a piece of white silk, tie it with a white ribbon and then toss it into the sea or the river.
To heal a broken heart
*1/4 cup seasalt
*2 candles
*mirror
*a small cloth
*a copper penny

*teasthingy orris root powder
*1/4 cup lavender flowers

Take a bath with the sea salt added, by the light of a candle.
When you finished the bath, dress first, then extinguish the candle.
Light the second candle and lay the mirror face up before it. On the mirror, mix the jasmine, orris root, lavender and yarrow. When done mixing, say:
'Spirit of the moon, heal my broken heart
let the shadow of pain, drift away in your silvery light.
Spirit of the moon, let my heart heal
And once more be strong That I may love again.'
Place the mixture in the small cloth, place the penny in the mixture and close and tie the cloth. Extinguish the candle. Keep the bag in your bedroom.
