Another 'receipt' from Dean landed in her inbox days later.
==========================================================
"Hi, Hira,
I haven't contacted you in a few days. I want to give you time to think things over. But your lucky days will come quickly.
I have three ancient rituals that I need to teach you.
Nine years ago, I stopped at a convent on my travels. I lived there for more than a year. And there I found hundreds of manuscripts, all rolled up. I can only choose one of them. When I started reading the script selected, I saw the words: "Ancient Ritual." The more I read it, the more I knew that my choice was right.
This ritual has existed since the beginning of time and continues to improve the lives of those who practice it, but on one condition; that they follow them according to the teachings of the great master for the ritual.
As your friend, it's my job to pass on to you information that doesn't concern anyone other than you. I think you need to realize this and no doubt it anymore because now there is a connection between us."
Hira opened the appendix of 30 pages consisting of rituals for success, love, and health and began observing it.
"There was a time when this ritual was only performed by great magicians, shamans, or high priests. Each adds to or has its specialties. People turned to great magicians and shamans because they knew the rituals could celebrate power, wealth, prosperity, and healing.
High priests can make dreams of love come true, whether aimed at winning the desired heart, rekindling a couple's fire, or bringing love and happiness back into the family circle.
Rituals are created in a way that allows some of the most privileged people in the world to access most of their cherished dreams, whether it be eternal love, power, or well-being.
All you have to do is go to a land where all kinds of magic reign, where the great ritual magicians are gathered for the high council, or to hard-to-reach places, often far from the village.
Only the bravest hearts are capable of undertaking dangerous quests to gather valuable information from great masters. And very often, properly implementing the ritual, they will get everything they want!
This ritual has existed since the beginning of time and continues to improve the lives of those who use it on one condition; that they follow them according to the teachings of the great masters.
Ritual for Love
Equip yourself with a silver ring that fits you and a white candle. Take a blue silk thread, wrap it around the candle's center seven times, and tie a knot. Place the ring in the center of the bowl. Add five drops of tarragon essential oil which awakens arousal and increases physical desire. Sprinkle some soil on top.
Please light a candle in a bowl and melt the wax until it hits the ring. During that time, keep reciting the secret mantra repeatedly, from the first drop of polish to the last when it reaches the blue silk thread.
A spell that is difficult to digest is written underneath.
This means: it doesn't matter where your soul mate is. When your destiny arrives, your meeting becomes unavoidable."
Of course, Hira hissed while continuing to read.
"Then remove the ring from the bowl and clean it. You have to wear it until your soul mate appears. And, thanks to this ritual, I'm sure it will happen soon.
If it doesn't work the first time you do it, don't despair; patience is a virtue, so start over, for everything comes to him who waits."
==========================================================
Oh, too late, Dean. I have met my true love, even though he wasn't mine yet. There was no slightest desire to snatch it, don't want to cheat or defeat, and I didn't have an appetite to fall in love either. And I know myself well; I won't persevere in this ritual anyway.
