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.

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...

Perfume, Cologne, and Its Use In Hoodoo

The original recipe for cologne was reputedly given to St. Elizabeth of Hungary by an angel -- the concoction was known as "Hungary Water" and was used primarily as a medicine, rather than just a mere fragrance. Charles Godfrey Leland remarked that it therefore was appropriate hoodoo practitioners would use such a substance for feeding their conjure bags and other talismans. The term cologne actually comes from a later preparation, Cologne Water (named for the German city.) The original Cologne Water is a spirit-citrus perfume launched in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), an Italian perfume maker from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo, Italy. In 1708, Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Cologne Water, in honour of his new hometown. The Original Cologne Water composed by Farina was used on...

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...

Rumors and Myths about the Intranquility or Intranquil Spirit Love Spell

(EDIT, 4/23/16: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my new book The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon.  This post is mostly correct, but has some incomplete information.) I've done many an Intranquility Spell in my lifetime -- being that I'm a professional magic spell caster that is, of course, logical. However, there seem to be many misunderstandings about this important type of magic spell, which are circulating the internet and invading the minds of people who might (or might not) benefit from its use. #1. The Intranquility Spell is evil. The Intranquility Spell is no more evil than trying to get the same results by way of any other spell. Now, one might argue that the intent is evil, or at least selfish -- but I have had people who requested the exact effects which an Intranquility is meant to bring (desperation, obsession, pining away) yet who refused to do an Intranquility spell specifically on the belief that it's ...
