The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

for a potion to excite another's affections, take a gill of good red wine and add to it these: a teaspoonful each of rosemary leaves, of anise seed, of cloves, of clear honey, and of orange rind, with a pinch of ground cumin and 3 green leaves from the rose geranium. mix them in a saucepan over the fire and bring all to boiling, then gently stir and simmer them while you slowly count to one hundred. remove the pan to a cool place until it's contents cease to steam; then strain them through a fine sieve, and return the liquid to heat again upon the fire. when sweet vapors rise, pour the potion into a cup and deliver it to the one whose love you would sweeten and warm; it shall not fail unless performed by one whose heart and househole keep slatternly habits.
