Set up an altar with thurible and charcoal, athame, cup, and bolline. Long ago, this magick would be enacted on the hearth itself. Gather a medium sized red candle, approximately 1/4 teaspoon dried vervain, small wooden box, and small moonstone or amethyst. The candle must not be dripless.
On a Friday night under a waxing moon, burn the red candle. Take the soft, melted wax drips and form a heart shape, adding the vervain pinch by pinch.
As you do so, repeat softly:
Wax to heart thou art transformed
Two be one, and love be warmed.
Before it cools, press the stone into the wax heart and set it inside the wooden box.
Place some vervain on the incense charcoal. Close the box and touch it with your athame, saying:
Diana, beautiful Diana,
Call thy daughter Aradia
And send her to the bedside
Of one who could be my beloved
Of one who could be my lover.
Let that lover come
Like a swift hunting hound
Running in the moonlight.
Come to me, come to me,
Led by the scents of love
By the aid of Regina Fata Diana
And of her daughter, Fata Aradia,
As I will, so mote it be.
Extinguish the red candle. Leave the wax heart in the box. Tuck it away where the box will not be disturbed by others.
Annoint and atire yourself lovingly. Be open to love and loving.
The lover will come as a swift hunting hound, because Diana ever has a dog by her side.
