Spread the cloth on your altar. Put the red candle in the middle and arrange the flowers and crystal around it. Once the opening rituals have been completed, pierce the candle with the two silver pins, one higher than the other, and light it. Focus your thouhts on your lover and when the flame reaches the first pin say aloud:

“Spirit of love to these I attend
Don’t let our love come to an end.
And it harm none, so be it”

Repeat this until the flame reaches the second pin, then say:
“And as this candle I have lighted
May ***** and I be reunited.
And it harm none, so be it”

Once the candle has burned out, perform your usual closing rituals and leave your sacred space. And now for the really difficult bit. No matter if you feel that you were totally blameless in the break-up, swallow your pride and make that telephone call. Your humility will be rewarded.
