This ritual is intended as a love-drawing spell, however
with very minor alterations it can be used to draw in nearly anything. This can
easily be done by supplementing the items placed within the jar with those more
befitting of your intent and swapping out the red candle for a hue more suited. Live animals are used in this ritual and it is important to handle [the moth]
carefully or risk both endangering it and the “health” of your spell.
Ingredients
Red Candle
Jar & String
Thin Cloth – a coffee filter would also suffice, assuming it’s
not one of those newfangled conical ones
Moth
Personal Affect – an item or the hair, fluids, etc. of he/she/they
you wish to attract. If you wish to attract a more general person or concept, blend yourself an herb/spice mixture and
dust the bottom of the jar with it. You may – and are encouraged – to do this in
addition to the personal affect so as to dictate through what focus you draw
this person to you.
A pinch of sugar/a drop of honey
Optional:
Attraction Oil – highly
recommended
Instructions
First and foremost, you must procure a moth. Don’t make
things too complicated. Turn on some outside lighting and (with jar in hand,
already prepped with your personal affect and/or herb mixture) wait patiently
for your guest to arrive. If you’re having some difficulty, you may find this article useful. Once the moth has arrived, simply catch it in your jar and placing the
cloth (or coffee filter, make sure to poke some holes!) over-top and fasten
either with the ring or with a bit of string. Needless to stay, be careful not
to injure the moth (specifically its delicate wings) when “jarring.” While it
is a myth that to touch a moth’s wings will prevent it from flying, handling
them is still not recommended. Take care to be gentle: you want to make sure
that the moth not only remains alive, but can survive when freed.

Once that’s out of the way, the rest is a cake-walk. Dress your candle in Attraction Oil and
carve in it the name of he/she/they whom you wish to attract. In a dark
room, place the jar (and moth) near the candle and light. If you so choose, you
may read the following incantation or try your hand at freestyle rap, do an interpretive dance or
whatever gets you in that “attracting spirit.” Allow the candle to burn away a
bit – watching the moth incessantly fly itself into the walls of the jar, as
moths have been known to do.
In the hallowed dark –
I am a beacon, The dancing play of
light – ‘pon silken curtain of night, And you – on dusty wings – come calling; I draw you in, I draw you in, Like the moth to the
flame, I draw you in – By witch’s will, By witch’s song: Come.
After you feel as though you’ve waiting long enough (or can’t
bear to watch that resilient moth fly head-first, kamikaze-style toward the
flame) take the jar outside (turning off that pesky outside lighting) and
letting it fly free once more. You have successfully jarred the moth’s interminable
desire to reach the flame. Collect the contents of the jar into the cloth you
used to “lid” the vessel and add to it, a drop of candlewax and a dab of honey //
pinch of sugar. Using the same string (or a freshly cut piece if you opted for
the jar-ring), bind the cloth into a small bag and place it near the
still-burning candle. Once the candle has burned out, collect the bag and carry
to draw unto you the object of your desire.

“After a rainstorm, go to roadside and hunt for the flattened remains of a toad. If these cannot be had, you may substitute with the bones of the same creature. Add the remains to a jar along with a hen’s egg – and to the same: a concoction of equal parts red wine, vinegar and storm water.
Powder the dried leaves of the mayapple and lacy crown of Queen Anne. Mix with shredded tobacco and add to the pot.
Seal the stew with a drop of blood and lid the jar. Swirl the contents three-times clockwise, three-times counter and three-times clockwise once more.
Bury this in the earth [in your own yard] with the lid exposed and let steep for 9 days. On the 9th night, exhume the jar and take it to the graveyard. Remove from within the egg, and bury this at the yard’s center most cross and use the jar’s remains to water the earth above it.”
