attraction spells Explanation: Aunque los amarres de amor son los más frecuentes, éstos no son el único tipo de amarre. Un amarre es un tipo de conjuro que se realiza para fomentar que una situación cambie, principalmente causada por un problema. Con la realización de este ritual se busca una solución. Hay distintos tipos de amarres pero los más frecuentes y utilizados son los amarres de amor. https://www.tarotyritualesdeeva.com/2019/09/17/la-magia-de-l... No sé si hay otro equivalente en inglés, pero attraction spells parece funcionar como equivalente genérico de amarre. Ver pej., https://al-lovespells.com/voodoo-money-attraction-spells-tha...

love spells Explanation: The idea is an enchantment or spell which has an effect akin to putting a rope around someone, like a tether. A more cogent description could be "tethering spells". "Amarre" is a mooring post for a boat, to stop it floating away... Hence the metaphor. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2020-01-21 21:10:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wraith - Google Books Result "I wasn't bound as before. There weren't any kind of tethering spells on my ankles." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2020-01-21 21:11:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.white-magic-help.net/About_White_Magic/love_spel... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2020-01-21 21:12:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.alittlesparkofjoy.com/love-spells/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 12 hrs (2020-01-23 09:24:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Obviously, there are different kinds, as Chema mentions below, but in general, I'd say that the popular catch-all term for this kind of thing would be love spell/potion/enchantment. For a monoglot audience, leaving "amarre" in italics might evoke a frisson of otherness that could prove desirable in flogging this sort of mumbo-jumbo to the gullible. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarre_de_amor |
