For matters related to love, family, emotions, and relationships, you may want to choose Cup cards as your focus. Consider an Ace of Cups to represent new beginnings and starting over, a Three of Cups to symbolize celebratory events like births or weddings, or the Queen of Cups to stand in for a sensual and captivating woman. The Lovers card, although associated with love and all its trappings, is one you may want to use if you’ve got a decision to make between two potential romantic partners, or you’re trying to help someone (including yourself) overcome temptation. Cup cards can also be used to represent the element of water.
PINK CANDLE SPELL
From Laurie Cabot's "Candle Magic for Rocky Times" (in the book "Love Magic: The Way to Love Through Rituals, Spells, and the Magical Life")
Hold a pink candle and charge it for future spells by visualizing you and your lover in a happy loving embrace. Put the energy from this vision into the candle. Then say out loud, "We will always love each other. May the Goddess and God grant this for the good of all."
When problems arise in your relationship or you need self-confidence, take out the candle on a Friday during a waxing moon. Annoint it with love oil (Cabot doesn't specify a particular mix, so I guess it's up to the individual's discretion). Put some oil on your index finger, and beginning in the middle of the candle, run your finger to the wick end. Then repeat, rubbing the oil down to the bottom of the candle. Light the candle and let it burn down completely (in a safe place) and go out.
Though this spell does involve some pre-planning (by having previously charged the candle), I don't see why it shouldn't work by charging it and performing the spell shortly thereafter. The trick will be to summon up the appropriate feelings of love if you're not in a particularly loving kind of mood.
CANDLE-SPELL TO WIN THE LOVE OF A MAN OR WOMAN
This is from “The Master Book of Candle Burning” by Henri Gamache, written in 1942:
On a Friday, when the Moon is waxing, start the following:

LOVE SPELL
Materials:
1 pink candle
1 bottle of 100% Virgin Olive oil
Something to light the candle
Process:
Take the candle and place it on a table or your altar. Now take the olive oil and rub on to the candle starting in the middle and going up, then starting in the middle going down. While purifying the candle with the oil you want to recharge the candle with love and desire, so visualize love and channel all your emotion into the candle. After the oil is finished, take a knife and carve what it is you want into the candle.
EXAMPLE: I Wish For Marc Smith to love me
After finished writing in the candle, simply light it and concentrate on love and throw as much emotion (love) into the flame of the candle as possible, you may even want to add words if you wish. Sit and do this until the candle has burnt out.
Once the candle has burned out, the spell is finished.
This is to Deepen the Love between 2 people.
2 red human candles, one male & one female
1 black & one white candle
crushed mandrake root
strawberry leaves
adam & eve root (2 pieces)
deep plate or dish
red string
pieces of rose quartz
rose petals
Light the black & white candles on your altar, the black on the left, the white on the right.
Bore a small hole into the heart area of each human candle (or one hole at each chakra point). Put a small pinch of the love herbs into the hole. Scratch your name on one candle, your lover's on the other. Face them together on a round plate or deep dish. Write your initials on one piece of adam & eve root & your lover's initials on the other. Place the 2 pieces between the 2 candles. Add rose quartz & rose petals on the plate between the candles. Tie the candle with a red string clockwise. Light both candles and let them burn down till the dish is a pool of wax. Let it cool. Remove the wax,now embedded with the other ingredients. Bury it on the night of a full moon for an ongoing relationship or on the night of the new moon for a new relationship.
