Casting a Love-Binding Spell with Stitches: Tips for Choosing the Right Cross-Stitch Design

We previously explored the most common symbols and superstitions in cross-stitching – you can find a detailed overview in this article. However, today we’d like to dwell on a specific topic of attracting love into your life through... cross-stitching!

Since ancient times, it has been believed that a stitcher pours a large amount of energy into their work and that power is so strong that any dream can come to life. The main thing is to clearly define and formulate your message to the universe. This is why it is crucial to choose the right design for your cross-stitch project to make your dream a reality as soon as possible.

So, what should the cross-stitch design depict to make your love wish come true?

The best choice is pair images of people, birds or animals. Choose a design that appeals to you (make sure to pick the images that are filled with tenderness and care) and put all your love and longing into the project. We assure you, a new romantic love won’t be long in coming!

A good idea is to cross-stitch designs depicting animals that are considered to be the symbols of love, loyalty and family. For example, wolves that are believed to symbolize faithful eternal love.

Another idea for a powerful love-binding cross-stitch project is swan imagery. What can compare to the tenderness and sincerity than that of those fascinating birds? Cross-stitch a pair of swans and place it in the best-lit spot in your house to attract a pure reciprocal love!  

If you are dreaming of love, designs featuring couples are an obvious choice. It’s important that the feeling of love and passion is explicitly expressed in the image. Besides, it should have positive vibes (make sure that the couple looks happy rather than crying or suffering from a break-up).

If you are not married yet, cross-stitching a unicorn may be worth a try. The magical nature of this mythical creature can lead to a new acquaintance and passionate love affair coming into your life very soon!

It’s commonly believed that thoughts can become reality, which means that any love-themed imagery (hearts, kisses, love notes, etc) can become a strong manifestation of your desire.
