Unveiling the Hidden Truths of Love Spells: What Hollywood Doesn't Tell You About Winning Hearts with Magic!

If you have never used magic before, it's very possible you are turning to it for the first time over a difficult love situation. Folklore and Hollywood are filled with stories about love spells being used to win the heart of a desired person. But what are the things you should know in advance of doing such magic?

1. It's not a mind control spell.

In reality, if magic could regularly do such dramatic things as force a persons mind, it wouldn't be an "unproven" practice. It's true that one finds accounts of such happenings in old folklore, but either these stories have been exaggerated (if you ever lived in a small rural town you may have seen how gossip spreads and transforms into the most bizarre stories) or, some believe that in the past when life was more simple, the influence of a spell could have been enough to seem to control a person who lived a simple life and was otherwise not used to decision-making, such as a slave or low servant or a rural subsistence farmer. Of course, nowadays we routinely use our judgment and do not instantly do everything we're told by TV or magazines or friends without question simply because it was suggested. Thus, just because a person receives a mental message to do something, does not necessarily mean they will follow up on it.

In effect, it is virtually impossible to actually control someone's mind with magic. Therefore you cannot expect a love spell to work on a person who never heard of you, or who utterly hates you, or who has strong reasons not to be in a relationship with you. Their better judgment will override the "strange thoughts" that the magic is producing -- in fact, people in such conditions will often recognize that a spell is being cast on them and will become all the more resistant to it!

2. A love spell is not a breakup spell

Often people will expect that casting a love spell on a person will make that person leave a preexisting rival relationship. I've seen many people upset that the love spells they cast "didn't work" because it didn't cause their lover to dump a rival.

Love spells are love spells. They do not deprive a person of love for someone else.

3. Expect to make an effort

While you might sometimes get lucky and find that the magic spell handles everything you needed, most of the time you will need to take some kind of practical measure towards getting the outcome you want. For example, if you cast a love spell on someone you never went out with before, try casting the spell then asking them out in a reasonable, friendly manner. Or if the spell is to help with mending an existing relationship, expect to make sacrifices and allowances in order to keep the peace. Remember, you have to be mindful of the other person's happiness as well, and they might not want the same things as you want.


4. It doesn't make them a better person or a more romantic person

It's one thing if a formerly passionate love is fading -- that is something magic is famous for helping to remedy, to bring back hot loving. However, many people contact me wanting a relationship that was never to their liking in the first place to be altered. Typically, this means "make him/her stop acting the way he/she does" and "make him/her more romantic."

This hearkens back to point #1, but the fact is it's probably going to be easier to do a love spell to bring you an all-new lover who meets your criteria than to force your current partner to change their ways.

In the end, the key to having a good relationship with magic is to ALWAYS REMEMBER IT IS UNPROVEN. This will help guard you against excessive expectations, as well as prepare you for the skeptical and disappointed reactions you will find from many people in the event that you admit to practicing such things. I know on this blog I tend to be a bit of a Negative Nelly, trying to remind people to check their expectations about magical possibilities (in short: aim for Eve's Bayou, not Harry Potter outcomes.) People are probably starting to think I don't even believe in magic at this point! So, I figured I'd share a personal story of a love spell that worked for me.

I was spending six months in Scotland, and after about two or three I noticed I wasn't having much luck making friends and I was getting rather gloomy being alone all the time. I decided to sign up on a dating website, really just kind of intending to try to meet some new people. Came across a fellow who seemed like far from a nice guy, but he was obviously intelligent and seemed like he'd be a fun person to know at the least. We arranged to meet, and he was even more of a problem than I'd expected, but captivating all the same. After a couple weeks spent trying to get my head around this guy I decided, given the brief amount of time we'd be living in the same country, if I wanted to try this guy out at all I'd better just do it.

My expectations from him were very small, but still, as it seems men usually do, he was still managing to disappoint even those most meager hopes -- so often too busy to meet me, for some reason or another. Yet he was managing to be on my mind all the time. 

As I recall, the first thing I tried on him magically was I sprinkled some Come to Me powder on the street where he lived. It probably worked, as I did see him again after that, though I think I was a little dissatisfied with the speed of it. Next I left an oil-line at his door -- something it's hard to be discreet about when using a cheap conjure oil full of bright red dye, I discovered. But I don't think he was familiar with American style hoodoo practices (and really, even a lot of American hoodoo folks wouldn't know about oil lines these days) so I don't think he ever suspected anything. That time I used Stay with Me formula, and got improved results as far as him being more attentive. 

After that, I began using the Stay with Me on my body whenever I'd visit him -- in fact, since it was so heavily pigmented I began wearing it instead of lipstick and rouge. Results were even better. 

Then, after a few visits, I managed to get one of the most desirable items for a love spell -- a pair of his unwashed underpants. (This was achieved because he wasn't very tidy and left his dirty laundry scattered all over his bedroom -- my gain.) After I got THAT, the power of my spells on him went way up.  All I had to do was burn some dressed Fast Luck candles next to the underpants, and he'd be calling me on the phone right away, often before the candles were even out. We had a good time together after that, problematic and intimidating a creature as he was.

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...

Blockbuster Spell

Recently tried this one to some good effect. As I did it, I petitioned Ganesha, but any of those crossroads deities (Mercury, Ellegua, Odin) will be able to help you here. You need: Blockbuster Oil Blockbuster Incense (loose or resin works best for this) Van Van Powder or Oil Gunpowder 2 White, Black or Orange Candles Fabric and Thread to wrap spell remains Offering for Ganesha (candy is a favorite) Do this spell on a Sunday or a Wednesday, or in a Sun or Mercury hour. Begin with your candles. White can be used for anything and is always a good choice. Black candles can be used to blot out problems and to bring destruction of all types, and so are a popular choice in Blockbuster work. Orange is used for opening the way and is another possibility if you are feeling blocked. Whatever colors you choose, take one candle and carve your name (or the name of the person the spell is for) onto it. Then carve on the other candle what it is you want to unblock -- this cou...

Carpet Friendly Hoodoo Floorwashes - How to Spiritually Cleanse Carpeted Floors

  Wall to wall carpeting only became common in houses during the 20th century, when the technology to make it cheaply and also the technology to clean it relatively easily (vacuums) made it much more practical than it had been in former times. In the old days, you had to uproot the entire carpet and take it outside to be beaten or scrubbed, while the wood floors underneath were swept and washed. Routine cleaning of a carpet would have usually been done by servants while the family was away on vacation. Nowadays a lot of people have carpets, and in many cases they're seen as a cheaper type of flooring than bare wood or tile. However, when dealing with traditional magic spells and hoodoo rituals, this can become a bit of a special encumbrance: instructions for floor sweeps, floor washes, and the use of colored sachet powders becomes an issue on a carpeted floor, whilst it is not an issue on a wood or tile floor.  Most traditional hoodoo cleaning and drawing rituals were made for...

Easy Spiritual Cleansing and Healing - Magical Bath Recipes

I've been having a rough week. For whatever causes, I'd been feeling particularly stressed out, irritable, and like everyone was against me. All week I'd been bathing in Florida Water, washing with salt, sprinkling herbs, burning Healing incense and Uncrossing candles, and dousing myself with Peace oil to such little effect. Then, I took this simple bath from Draja Mickaharic's book Spiritual Cleansing: Handbook of Psychic Protection, and it did better for me than all the week's work had. From the text: Add 1/4 cup bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to the regular bath water ... This simple bath has produced more testimonials than any other. Indeed, indeed. What magic makes baking soda so strong is unclear, but it's a famous bath additive even in non-occult circles. I first heard about it in beauty books that I read in high school, because when added to a bath it helps to soften the water. It's often used, there, as a medium for other fragrances, but i...

The Haunted History of Feather Pillows and Witch Wreaths - Hoodoo Superstition

I own two feather pillows. Recently I was finding that both had grown resistant to all efforts to fluff them. It was obviously time to buy new ones after more than 10 years. It occurred to me that if I pulled the stuffing out from one and used it to refill the other, I'd only have to buy one new pillow instead of two. I'd read enough ancient household management guides that I knew how to replace feather filling, so I went for it. When I cut open the pillows, I found one of them had developed a strange rope-like quality to many of the feathers. They'd grown matted and stuck together in many places. Lafcadio Hearn in his "New Orleans Superstitions" article of 1886 wrote: It is believed that by secret spells a "Voudoo" can cause some monstrous kind of bird or nondescript animal to shape itself into being out of the pillow feathers--like the tupilek of the Esquimau iliseenek (witchcraft.) It grows very slowly, and by night only; but when ...
