Kirsten Riddle: Magic and spells

Dear Kirsten

I’d really like to meet someone special this Christmas, is there a spell to make my dream come true? Jenny, Scarborough

Dear Jenny

Try this fun wish spell. Write your heart’s desire on a small piece of paper. Word it as if it’s already come true, so you might say: ‘I have new love in my life.’ Put the paper inside a red balloon, this colour is associated with love. Blow the balloon up and with every puff of air, imagine you’re sending out a stream of loving energy into the universe. As you tie the balloon, repeat the affirmation in your mind, then release it into the sky!
