I'm writing a love spell. Yes I do know it's definitely what I want. I've heard that writing your own spells have more potency than any other. So, I'm thinking I'm just going to write down my desires, in full detail so hopefully nothing could go wrong, and light a red candle, ground, centre and shield then say the spell 3 times over. Is there anything else I can do to give it more chance of working? Any particular gods I should call upon? Should I use incense or anything else like that, use more than one candle? Do I do anything special with the paper once I've finished? And I've heard that talismans make spells more potent, how do I incorporate that? I know you have to kind of 'charge' it but, how do I do that just try to push my energy into it? Thankyou!

P.S. Please don't try to convince me not to do a love spell.
