A Charm to Bring Your Lover Home
Take an aromatic mixture of Cloves, Cinnamon
and Cardamom and place in a large jar. Over this read seven times backward the
Yasin chapter of the Qur'an. Fill the jar with Rosewater and a shirt of your
beloved. Add to this mixture a handmade piece of paper inscribed with the name
of the wayward lover and the names of the four angels (Mikail, Azrail, Jibril,
Rafail). Place the jar over the fire; and as soon as the mixture begins to boil, the
wandering lover will be on his way home.
-from an ancient Persian formula
