How to Decorate to Magically Attract Love

Posted on by

Here are some pagan and Feng Shui suggestions for decorating your place so that you can attract more love to your life.

You can attract sexual passion by placing fruit bowls in strategic places. To attract more romance and physical love in your life fill a fruit bowl with produce such as cherries, grapes, pomegranates, raspberries, avocadoes and bananas and place it in the south east sector of your home.

You can also sweeten life up in general with a jar of honey. Honey is the nectar of the Gods and symbolic of love and fertility. Keep a jar in the center of your kitchen table where the sun’s rays can catch the honey in the light to create good chi.

To keep things spicy in your marriage hang a picture of a pair of quinces in your kitchen. Quinces are historically eaten as aphrodisiacs. They also help the male to achieve sexual stamina and females to achieve orgasms.

Want to keep a lover faithful? A sprig of honeysuckle kept in the southwest corner of your home can help achieve this. The reason that silk blooms are so popular in China is that they never die. Wilting blooms symbolize a dying romance but fake flowers keep love alive. The key is to make sure they stay clean.

To keep the positive love chi flowing in your relationship take a picture of the two of you and then frame it with two roses or keep two roses in a vase nearby to symbolize your union.
Certain areas of your home are doubly blessed in one sector. For instance the southwestern corner of bedroom might also be the southwestern corner of your home, thus bringing you double the love and luck with your relationships

To attract your soul mate put up pictures of famous couples that you admire – such as a favorite writer or movie star pair. Their energy brings a similar successful energy into your space.

Be careful where you hang movie or theater posters especially if they depict violent or sad scenes. The images that you hang on your wall can help you to manifest the same dramas in your own life script.

Don’t forget the outdoors! Fruit trees bring fertility! In the west area of your garden plant — oak, pine, banana and any type of fruit tree (but especially the apple). This area is also symbolized by “small metal” hanging wind chimes in trees also brings births.

One popular baby shower theme is based on old Nursery Rhymes. This kind of shower encourages guests to bring books as gifts, although snowshakers, ceramic figures, linen and baby clothes decorated with popular characters from rhymes and fairy tales are also a good choice. Money can also be collected for the mom-to-be in Mother Hubbard’s old boot.

A paper tablecloth can be decorated with written out nursery rhymes and paper cutouts of popular nursery rhyme figures can be used to decorate the walls.

A decorative centerpiece can be made of “silver bells and cockle shells” (lilies of the valley and seashells.)A small pot of ivy is a suitable party favor to present to departing guests.

You might also want to try a Clothesline Baby Shower. This kind of shower encourages guests to bring clothing as gifts for the newborn. The clothesline is strung up across the party area and as guests arrive they pin their gift to the clothesline. Paper money is also sometimes pinned to the clothesline.

If you are invited to a clothesline baby shower it is also acceptable to bring a pack of disposable diapers as a gift.

If the mommy likes vintage and frilly stuff then try throwing a Victorian Tea Party Baby Shower.Dust off the old china and iron your oldest and prettiest linen and lace tablecloth for this kind of party, which is patterned after the Victorian era. For this kind of party, guests are sent official invitations in white envelopes that ask for an RSVP. Another twist on this kind of party is the “Mad Hatter” theme in which each guest is encouraged to wear their most outrageous hat to the event.

Finger foods, cookies and pinwheel sandwiches made of cream cheese, egg salad and tuna are usually served at these parties along with copious amounts of tea served from the oldest silver teapot you can beg, borrow or steal.

An arrangement of tea roses, violets and baby’s breath makes a fine centerpiece. Another nice touch is to make a display area that features framed photographs of the mother’s relatives so guests can get a peek at the family tree.

An excellent party favor for this kind of shower is a tiny picture frame or silver spoon slipped inside tulle or a satin pouch.

If Mom does not have a lot of money you can also do a Freezer Shower. e idea behind this party is to spare mom the expense and inconvenience of having to cook while she has so much else going on. Guests are encouraged to bring homemade meals that can be stowed in the freezer.

Casseroles, lasagna, stews, soups, moussaka, spaghetti sauces, curries, pilafs and cakes are foods that freeze well and that will keep mom well fed for months.

A potted herb, such as rosemary, sage or thyme is a nice party favor for your guests to take away and put on their windowsill.
