FOLKLORE & MAGIC
The Birth of Venus by Alexandre Cabanel (1863)
~ Make an Offering to Venus,
Goddess of Love ~
~ Make an Offering to Venus,
Goddess of Love ~
Venus, the Goddess of Love, is very accustomed to receiving petitions from those hoping to attract a lover. Valentine's Day seems an appropriate time to appeal to this lovely lady, and Friday just happens to be the day of the week sacred to her. How fortuitous that this Valentine's Day, 2020, falls on a Friday! So take advantage of this opportune timing and make your appeal that day.
To craft your petition or wish, look no farther than Frankie Avalon! All the components of a successful spell are here. Modify to suit your desire.

1. Address the Lovely Lady:
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus Venus, if you will 3. The Caveat: A girl who wants my kisses and my arms A girl with all the charms of you Venus, make her fair A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair And take the brightest stars up in the skies And place them in her eyes for me 5. The Offering: (He's bargaining here a little bit, but we can take this as the offering!) Venus, if you do I promise that I always will be true I'll give her all the love I have to give As long as we both shall live |
2. Make your Wish:
Please send a little girl for me to thrill 4. Show some Faith: Venus, goddess of love that you are Surely the things I ask Can't be too great a task 6. Releasing the Wish: Hey, Venus, oh, Venus Make my wish come true |
A rose would make a nice offering to Venus
