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.
