Herbs for Romance - Amaranth

We'll begin with Amaranth, especially relevant because it is a zodiac herb for all of you Aquarians celebrating birthdays in late January and early to mid February. 

Amaranth has several folk names including ‘Love Lies Bleeding’! In matters of love, it is most valued for its aid in rapidly healing broken hearts. It also has the capabilities to make you invisible and bullet proof.  Many a jilted lover would find both valuable!

If you are interested in becoming bullet proof, the timing is perfect. You'll need a shovel, a large piece of cloth, preferably white, and a gift to leave as an offering as a thank you for removing the plant. Use your imagination and be certain it is from the heart. The entire amaranth plant is used and must be gathered, root and all, by the light of the full moon. Fold the plant into the cloth and press it against your chest. You are now bullet proof!

Sadly, I'm not able to give you specific directions on using it to become invisible. I was living in Indiana and hadn't started school the first time I was told amaranth could make one invisible. I've  heard and read it many times since, but no one has ever shared the spell with me. Please share if you have the directions!

Hopefully your heart has not been broken and you have been jilted so you may not need to use this one.
