Unveiling the Shocking Love Spell: Secret Ingredients Exposed! Find Out Why This Controversial Practice is Making Waves in Folk Magic Circles!

As evidenced by the mockery of the Lucky Mojo Forum a while back, the magical method of trapping a lover by feeding (usually) menstrual blood, or sometimes urine, to the target, is one of the more uncouth practices used in folk magic -- many nonbelievers will laugh and shake off mention of dusting items with herbs or burning fixed candles as harmless, but the act of secretly feeding human bodily secretions to another person tends to cross the line into being repulsive (not to mention, frankly, illegal in many places if it's done without consent.) 

According to the Lucky Mojo website, in some traditions like African-American hoodoo and Sicilian folk-magic, using menstrual blood in a man's coffee or tea can make him notice you romantically. You don't need to do any special rituals or prayers. You just have to add a little bit of menstrual blood to the drink. The idea is to make the person you like become more aware of you. Urine too is used in love spells that go into coffee or tea, used instead of menstrual blood when the person doing the magic can't use menstrual blood. This might be because they are too young, too old, pregnant, or have other reasons. Sometimes, men can also use urine in a drink to create a strong connection with a woman, although this is not as common.

My first contact with this tradition actually came via Snopes.com where their article on menstrual superstition reports, "(Menstrual blood has been) viewed as a potent ingredient to add to a love potion or to slip directly into something that would be ingested by the lusted-for object of affection. A drop or two secreted in a man's food or drink was said to bind him forever to the woman whose blood it was. (Didn't work, though: history is replete with disappointed maidens who attempted to win themselves adoring husbands through this trick.)"

The trick is probably popular because it's cheap (practically free!), doesn't require any odd ingredients, and the only task of any difficulty is in the actual collecting/deploying the fluids. Plus, as the spell is usually given, it's promised to bind the man to you forever! -- which is usually what people are striving to do. Though yronwode claims on the page linked earlier to have always had good results with this trick, I'm inclined more to agree with Snopes about its effectiveness -- I've met a few people that have used this or been the victims of its use, yet none of these people seem to still be in the relationship they were supposedly obliged to stay in. Most of them didn't use any fancy uncrossing spells or escape spells either; the thing just plain didn't work.

Could it have been the squeamishness of the deployer creating a negative effect on the magical powers? Except in one case of a friend who'd had this done, she was already broken up with the guy before realizing he'd put something on her earlier, indicating it still won't stop a person from leaving. A friend of mine from a Cuban/Santeria background has said that as she was taught, the menstrual blood does produce strong love but only for very a short time, and so these accounts match with what she was told.
Just my opinion of course, based on what I've understood -- but I'd say this is one of the tricks not worth getting involved with. It seems to just annoy the targets and not work very well, and if done without consent can land you in jail.

The Ultimate Hoodoo Herbal Incense Guide

 Myrrh The other day I made a bath recipe for myself using some artificial myrrh oil (real myrrh essential oil being quite expensive -- about $160 a half ounce as of this writing.) Sniffing it, it called to mind so many other spells that I've done that I realized -- this is THE smell of hoodoo. American hoodoo magic, with its blend of African, Indigenous, and European traditions, has a long history of utilizing various herbs, roots, and materials to create potent spells and rituals. One such ingredient that holds a significant place is myrrh. It is not a native plant to the Americas: commiphora myrrha is native to the Arabian penninsula and Africa. It appears often in the Bible, and because of this was adopted into European high magical traditions. As I mention in my book Conjuration , incense wasn't much used in American hoodoo till the early 20th century, when the "catalogue culture" of De Laurence and others brought to it more high magical tradition and incorpor...

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it...

Reconciliation and Return Lover Magic Spells

I would say 9 out of 10 of folks contacting me about magic spells are looking for workings to bring back a lost lover; and I would say 9 of those 10 have already waited too long or otherwise made messes to the point where magic is no longer a good option to help them. For a while I was paying attention to stories of people who succeeded in bringing back their lost lovers with magic spells. I noticed initially a lot of people seemed to have performed the spells themselves, and at first thought that was what made the difference. Over time, however, I met a few people who'd had luck by hiring professional spells, and I even succeeded at several hired cases of my own. That's when I started to realize what the real factor was -- the people who succeeded were performing their spells right away, either by immediately hiring a professional to cast a spell, or by immediately performing a spell on their own. The folks who waited more than about 2 - 4 weeks usually never had luck. ...

Magical Hoodoo Baths - The Original Hoodoo and Voodoo Bath for Luck, Love and Success

One beginning in the tradition of hoodoo should know about the importance of baths. They are vital tools in hoodoo work and cannot be dispensed with.  Many people nowadays don't have bathtubs, and some adaptation can be achieved by way of showers. Other people use a large bowl or bucket of water to pour on themselves in place of a spiritual bath. In olden times, and also in some places today where water on tap isn't common, people will perform their spiritual baths in a river or pond outdoors.  A spiritual bath is similar to a regular bath, but with certain key differences. Spiritual baths are not meant primarily for physical cleansing and so washing items like soap might be taboo depending on the exact bath type. However there are some types of magical bath that do use the multitasking property of soap or other cleansers, and in those cases the cleaning aspect is appropriate to the work. There is some controversy around washing the hair in a spiritual bath. Many people don...

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book  The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon.  This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...
