First off, don’t feed your baked blood to anyone without their knowledge. Don’t be a shitty person.
I have a book at home called Heksens Håndbog (The Witch’s Handbook) written by an elderly witch and I love how her spells have zero chill. It’s a collection of old spells and magic that she has collected over the years and it even has the original ointments from the middle ages that were written down. That means there’s a lot of “catch a white snake with your bare hands on midsummer’s eve” and “coat a raven’s feather in sap and burn it during a new moon”. Oh and there’s a ton of uses for menstrual blood. You get the idea. It’s quite an interesting read.
"What is magic? Then there is the witches’ explanation, which comes in two forms, depending on the age of the witch. Older witches hardly put words to it at all, but may suspect in their hearts that the universe really doesn’t know what the hell is going on and consists of a zillion trillion billion possibilities, and could become any one of them if a trained mind rigid with quantum certainty was inserted in the crack and twisted; that, if you really had to make someone’s hat explode, all you needed to do was twist into that universe where a large number of hat molecules all decide at the same time to bounce off in different directions. Younger witches, on the other hand, talk about it all the time and believe it involves crystals, mystic forces, and dancing about without yer drawers on."

Modern witches also advise against love spells because do you really want a magical artificial love instead of the real thing? Most recommend seeking or vision spells to find the person who can love you for real.
@cantsleeptocrazy Quite possibly. In aromatherapy, frankincense helps deepen the breath and focus the mind, which would help with any vision-oriented spell.
@cantsleeptocrazy It's a bit harder to do, but all you have to do is get you period blood and mix it with your lovers period blood make to small honey cakes made with royal jelly(the queens honey),rye, and a bit of Pine ash. then eat with your back towards her, that should work.
Note:don't do this. it's WRONG! Though no one would get sick, as it's been cooked.
