Friday gets its name from Freya, the Norse goddess of love, sex, lust, beauty, sorcery, and fertility. Today is a great day for a love spell. It is said that food is the quickest way to someone’s heart, so plan a feast and invite the person of your fancy.

Foods associated with love and lust include strawberries, figs, and honey; oysters, garlic, and asparagus; and bananas, chocolate, and almonds. Each possesses different nutrients and minerals that stimulate fertility, arousal, or receptivity.

Set the table with rose-scented candles and a vase of lavender-colored roses, which are associated with enchantment, love at first sight, and wonder.

When your companion arrives, invoke Freya’s blessing that you may feast together, sharing the energy of love, lust, enchantment, and beauty. Say:

I made this feast especially for you.
It’s inspired by the Norse goddess
Freya, goddess of love and beauty.
With her spirit, I toast you.
