A mojo for dating, made with Astaroth

This article is about a specific mojo, for a specific spirit, for a specific purpose, and it stays on that ground, rather than turning into a general article about love, or about mojos in general.

This mojo is made with a seal of Astaroth, a precious gemstone, sacred objects, herbs and roots sacred to Astaroth, and it is blessed by Astaroth. It comes complete with a bottle of magical anointing cologne. Those ingredients are listed as a set, and they should be understood as a set: a seal, to name the spirit; a gemstone, as a precious object carried with the mojo; sacred objects, herbs, and roots, sacred to Astaroth, as the material of the mojo itself; a blessing by Astaroth, as the consecration of the whole; and anointing cologne, as the means of maintaining it, over time. A mojo is not a single ingredient. It is a combination, made for a purpose, and carried as a whole, and it should be worked with as a whole, rather than taken apart, ingredient by ingredient, in search of the one part that does the work.

Astaroth, in the Grimoire Companion notes for the Grimoirium Verum tradition, is a Superior, who appears black, in human shape, and is tagged with power and knowledge. Power and knowledge, in the Companion tagging, fit as well, in a different way: power, as the ability to act, to attract, and to be noticed, and knowledge, as the ability to know what you want, whom you want, and how to present yourself, honestly, to the people you meet. Those four words together, lust, luck, power, and knowledge, are a better description of what this mojo is for than any single one of them alone.

Dating, lust, and being specific about what you want

Dating involves meeting people, being noticed, being attractive, being interesting, being available, and being willing to be seen, and each of those is a different thing, requiring different work, in the ordinary world as well as in the magical one. A mojo that helps improve your dating life, in general, will help most if you know which part of dating is actually difficult for you. Is it meeting people, because you rarely go where you might meet them? Is it being noticed, because you are shy, or because you do not present yourself as available? Is it being attractive, in the sense of confidence, grooming, conversation, or energy, rather than appearance alone? Is it being available, in the sense of time, emotional readiness, or willingness to be hurt, as well as to be pleased? Those are different questions, and they point to different ordinary work, as well as to different magical work.

Reflection about being specific about what you want is not a restriction here. It is the work itself, before the working begins. Write down, in plain language, what you mean by a better dating life. Is it more dates, or better dates? Is it a particular kind of person, or a particular kind of relationship? Is it more confidence, more ease, more fun, or more seriousness? Is it a single encounter, or a lasting relationship, and if it is a lasting relationship, what does lasting mean to you, in practical terms: companionship, affection, passion, stability, or all of those, in some proportion you can name? Those questions are not intrusive. They are the difference between a request that can be worked with, and a wish that floats, unattached, and is then blamed, afterwards, for not producing a result that was never clearly asked for.

Lust, in the title, is also worth naming plainly, rather than euphemising. Lust is desire, passion, and physical attraction, and it is a legitimate part of dating, and of relationships, when it is honest, mutual, and part of a larger connection, or when it is sought, plainly, for itself, between consenting adults. A mojo for lust, as this one is named, is not a mojo for love in general, and it should not be ordered as if it were, if what you actually want is love, companionship, or a lasting partnership, without the physical passion that lust names. Conversely, if what you actually want is lust, passion, and physical attraction, then ordering a mojo for love in general, and hoping it will also cover lust, is a weaker request than ordering a mojo that names lust directly, as this one does. Be honest about which you want, and order accordingly, rather than ordering vaguely, and hoping the mojo will sort out what you meant.

What is in the mojo, and how it is carried

It does not name the gemstone, it does not list the sacred objects, herbs, or roots individually, and this article does not invent those details. If you need to know a specific ingredient, for allergy, for practice, or for any other reason, ask, through the proper channel, rather than assuming, or guessing, from an article.

The mojo comes complete with a bottle of magical anointing cologne, and that cologne is the means of maintaining the mojo, over time. Anointing, in this context, means applying cologne to the mojo, deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words, as a way of feeding, refreshing, and keeping the mojo active, rather than letting it sit, untouched, until it becomes merely an object you carry, without attention. How often to anoint, and in what way, belongs to the practice you follow, and to any instructions that come with the mojo itself, and this article does not invent a schedule for it. What can be said generally is that a mojo that is anointed regularly, with attention, will be worked with differently from a mojo that is never anointed, and that difference will show, in your record, and in your own sense of whether the mojo is part of your practice, or merely part of your pocket.

Carrying a mojo is part of the work, not an afterthought. Carry it on your person, where it belongs, rather than leaving it at home while you go out dating, which is the very situation it is made for. Keep it in a clean place, away from other objects that could damage it, crush it, or spill on it, and do not open it, take it apart, or show its contents to people casually, out of curiosity, or to prove that it is real. A mojo's power, in traditional terms, is partly in its integrity as a whole, made, blessed, and carried intact, and taking it apart, to inspect it, or to show it off, breaks that integrity, in a practical as well as a symbolic sense. If you need to check the mojo, do so privately, carefully, and with the same attention you would give to any working tool, and then close it, and carry it, as a whole, again.

Dating in the ordinary world, alongside the mojo

A mojo for dating does not replace dating, and that point, obvious as it sounds, is the point most often forgotten, in practice. If you carry a mojo, and then stay at home, avoid people, refuse invitations, or present yourself as unavailable, then the mojo is not being worked with in the situation it is made for. It is being carried in a situation where it cannot act, because you are not acting either. Dating, like any other human activity, requires presence, and presence requires going where people are, speaking to them, listening to them, and being willing to be seen, and to be refused, as well as to be accepted.

Ordinary dating work, alongside a mojo, includes practical matters that are easy to overlook when magical work is in focus: grooming, clothing, conversation, listening, humour, kindness, and honesty about what you want, and about what you do not want. Those are not distractions from magical work. They are the ordinary-world form of the same qualities the mojo is said to support: power, as confidence and presence; knowledge, as knowing what you want, and how to present yourself; luck, as being in the right place, at the right time, with the right attitude; and lust, as honest, mutual desire, expressed clearly, rather than hidden, or performed. A mojo that is carried by a person who is also doing that ordinary work will be worked with differently, and more effectively, than a mojo carried by a person who expects it to do all the work alone, while they do none of it.

That ordinary work also includes honesty about rejection, and about consent. Dating involves refusal, as well as acceptance, and a person who cannot accept refusal, gracefully, will not date well, with or without a mojo. A mojo for lust, or for dating, does not override another person's will, and it does not guarantee that a particular person will respond in a particular way. No result is promised here, and no mojo guarantees a date, a relationship, or a particular outcome with a particular person. What can be promised is that the mojo will be made as described, with a seal of Astaroth, a precious gemstone, sacred objects, herbs and roots sacred to Astaroth, blessed by Astaroth, and complete with a bottle of anointing cologne, for this work, and that it is to be carried, anointed, and worked with, over time, as part of a practice that includes ordinary dating, as well as magical work.

Keeping a record, and knowing when to change approach

Keep a short record for this mojo, as for any working tool: when you carried it, when you anointed it, what dating situations you were in, what you noticed in terms of confidence, presence, attraction, and luck, and what you did differently, in ordinary terms, as a result. Note, too, what did not change, and what went badly, as well as what went well, because a record that only notes successes will teach you very little, and will become, over time, a story you tell yourself, rather than a record of what actually happened. If, after weeks of carrying and anointing the mojo, and of dating, in the ordinary world, nothing has changed in your confidence, your presence, or your dating life, then that is information. It may mean the request was unclear, the mojo needs different care, the ordinary work needs to change, or the situation needs a different approach altogether. Do not repeat the same approach endlessly, in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Observe, reflect, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step.
