Valentine's Day alone: learn Saint Anthony's spells for love
If you are going to spend Valentine's Day alone and want to change that for next year, you can seek the help of Saint Anthony, the "saint matchmaker". This Friday (13th), when the patron saint is honored, people of all ages and sexual orientations usually perform sympathies in the hope of finding their better half.
If you are married, dating or have a relationship, you can also use the sympathies aimed at Saint Anthony to strengthen the union or rekindle an old flame that is already fading. It is worth remembering that the Catholic Church does not recognize sympathies as part of religion, and they are part of Brazilian popular culture, which reinforces faith in mysticism. They were added to the saint by religious syncretism.
So, regardless of the tactic chosen, the important thing is to perform the rituals with faith and genuine intention. Therefore, here are some sympathies suggested by Anax Bruxa, a holistic psychologist, associated with Santo Antônio and that can help you.

1. Upside Down Saint
Fill a glass with water or cachaça and place the saint upside down inside the container, asking it to bring you love. As an already determined person, you can direct the request to them. Remembering that it can only be removed from the glass when love arrives.

2. Red ribbon
Women, this tip is for you! The red ribbon is associated with love and passion. Therefore, write the full name of the person you want on a red ribbon, tie it to your bra and wear it for seven days.
During the seven days, reinforce the desire you feel in your heart. At the end of the seventh, remove the ribbon, place it in a white envelope and secure it as if you were sending it to Santo Antônio.
After that, you can leave the envelope inside a church or place it on your personal altar, if you have one, next to a red seven-day candle, thanking you in advance for the blessing you received. Take advantage of the moment to offer the ribbon to the image of Saint Anthony.

3. St. Anthony's Bread
This is one of the most traditional sympathies. Saint Anthony is often depicted holding the baby Jesus and a loaf of bread, which symbolizes his role as provider.
For this reason, the spiritualist asks that Saint Anthony be offered a slice of bread and ask for a marriage. If you already have your loved one's name, write it around a red candle. For writing, you can use a needle.
Otherwise, just ask him to bring about a prosperous, respectable and abundant marriage. The next day, take the slice of bread and offer a piece to each person who lives in the same household as you and thank them for the blessing already achieved.
Advice: "always say a prayer to the saint at the beginning of each sympathy. And, at the end, have the habit of thanking, even if the feat has not yet been achieved", says the expert.
