Magical Love Herbs of Old Time Hoodoo - Fast Love Spells for Effective Witchcraft

herbal magick flower garden spells for love

Some time ago, I was on vacation and needed to cast some magic spells. Since I didn't have any supplies with me, I had to outsource the work to another professional caster. This caster, however, had a different philosophy from mine. She believed in putting off work to do it 'right' later, while I felt it was better to get things done quickly, even if it was a bit rough.

I don't deny that getting more work doesn't mean the work is better. But you also know the saying, "A stitch in time saves nine." It's about making quick-fixes problems as soon as you see them, to prevent them from getting worse.

Think of it like a plumbing problem. If your bathroom sink is leaking and you don't have the tools to fix it properly, putting a bucket under it and using duct tape is better than doing nothing. Leaving it unfixed would cause water damage and other issues. Similarly, in magic, it's better to do a quick, useful spell rather than waiting and waiting for perfect conditions all while things get worse. This is especially true for love spells. Waiting too long can make reconciliation much harder.

Don't delay your magic spells—get them done as soon as you can!



WHY IS TIME A FACTOR IN LOVE MAGIC?


I often get requests for return lover spells from people who broke up months or even years ago. I'm usually hesitant to take on cases where the breakup happened more than 3 months ago, and rarely do I consider cases over a year old. Recently, a client asked why time is a factor in these spells. It's a great question.

While we can't prove magic scientifically, based on observation, I can say this: Love needs something to build on. Even if someone still has feelings for you, they need a reason to act on them. The more time that passes without contact, the more it feels like trying to make a stranger love you. If your ex has moved on and started a new life, going back to a failed romance doesn't make sense. It's best to act before too much changes.

Think about someone you loved in the past but are over now. Maybe it was a celebrity crush when you were younger. Over time, those feelings fade, and that person no longer impacts your life. If that celebrity suddenly proposed to you now, you'd probably be confused. If a lot of time has passed since you last contacted your ex, they might feel the same way. A sudden rush of affection can work to bring back a lost lover if it's soon after the breakup, but once the decision to leave has settled in, it's much harder to change their mind.

Some herbs and flowers used in love magic can be determined by their folk names. Methods for employing these herbs might typically consist of --

  • including sprigs worked into bouquets which were presented to a lover
  • mailing the flowers or leaves along with love letters
  • taken medicinally as aphrodisiacs. 
A partial list of traditional love flowers is as follows:

Heart’s-Ease (Viola tricolor)
Kiss-Me-Quick (Saxifraga umbrosa)
Forget-Me-Not (Ajuga chamaepitys)
True Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis scorpioides)
Love-In-A-Mist (Nigella damascena)
Love-Bind (Clematis vitalba)
Love-Apples (Lycopersicum esculentum)
Love-Ache (Levisticum officinale OR Ligusticum scoticum)
Love-Me (Myosotis palustris)
Lover’s-Links (Umbilicus rupestris)
Lover’s-Pride (Persicaria maculosa)
Lover’s-Steps (Lolium temulentum)
True-Love (Paris quadrifolia)
Lad-Love-Lass (Artemisia abrotanum)

Those familiar with modern conjure formulas may also recognize a few of the names; one can presume that the plants originally were included in their namesake mixtures, or that the concoctions were at least intended to mimic their perfumes. For example, Cristiani’s 1877 book of perfume recipes included the following one for Kiss-Me-Quick:

1 pint extract of jasmine, no. 1 (alcohol scented from first rinsing of jasmine pomade)
½ pint extract of violet, no. 2 (alcohol scented from second rinsing of violet pomade)
½ pint extract of rose, no. 2 (from rose pomade, as above)
¼ pint tincture of vanilla
¼ pint tincture of vetivert
½ pint tincture of orris
¼ pint tincture of musk
1 ounce oil of bergamot
1 dram oil of rose
1 dram oil of cloves

8 ounces rosewater, double


SPECIAL LOVE HERBS BLEND

    Some practitioners like to have a ready mixture of herbs for love drawing. They make a good addition to incenses, mojo bags, and honey jars.

    Here is my recipe for a love herbs mix:
  1. Sugar
  2. Rose petals
  3. Cinnamon chips
  4. Orange peel
  5. Dill seed
  6. Damiana leaves
  7. Red clover blossoms
  8. Orange flower blossoms
  9. Deerstongue leaves
Mix in approximately equal parts. You may substitute any ingredient with other flowers like lavender or honeysuckle, or with spices like cardamom or ginger, or other herbs like elecampane, violet leaves, or nettle.

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...

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...

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...

Job Spells in the Internet Age - Hoodoo Voodoo Success and Steady Work Magic

We exist in an unprecedented era. There is now internet , a creation which allows text and images to be instantly transferred from person to person. People can have jobs and never ever see their employer or go to an office -- they might not even live in the same state or the same country as the person they work for! This has an impact on traditional magic spells. Most of your classic old time hoodoo "get a job" or "get business" spells assume you will be interacting directly with the boss or with customers. Some traditional operations of this type include: To have a successful job interview, wash your face with sugar before going to interview. To get a job, sprinkle some salt on the person interviewing you and on the floor of the business. To get customers, wash the floor of the shop with a mixture of your urine, sugar and bluing. For a successful job application, dress your resume with powder such as Steady Work or Van Van . For business success, sprinkle magneti...

On Fast Luck Formula - Free Hoodoo Spell for Fast Luck with Love, Money and Success

Fast Luck is a popular and old-style hoodoo formula, generally used for any purpose in which one needs luck in a hurry, especially in matters of love or money. At Extrascentsory Apothecary, Malcolm Mills writes, " I once had four different bottles of commercial versions of Fast Luck oil, none of which smelled even vaguely like the correct recipe. Two of them smelled like cherry, one smelled like baby powder, and the fourth smelled like lemon. Since Fast Luck is a combination of Juniper Berry, Patchouli and Rose, none of these oils was authentic ." Now, the cognoscenti are probably giggling here. For those not in on the joke, the juniper patchouli and rose recipe is another of the well-known fake hoodoo/voodoo recipes written by "Horrible" Herman Slater . Over at Lucky Mojo, there's an article about the recipe for Fast Luck formula in which she discredits the Slater recipe and provides a simple version from Zora Neale Hurston : Cinnamon Vanilla ...
