Are you drawn to the powerful mystery of voodoo love spells as if you’re from West Africa, the Caribbean, or the United States?
Maybe you’ve heard stories about how voodoo love spells create intense attraction that regular spells can’t match. Or perhaps you’re ready to tap into ancient spiritual forces that have brought lovers together for centuries.
Voodoo love spells work differently from other magic because they call on specific spirits and use unique rituals passed down through generations. These spells combine physical actions, spoken words, and spiritual connection to create changes in the romantic realm.
In this intense guide, I will be driving around with you as I tell you everything about voodoo love spells and how to cast them safely as a beginner and a delicate witch. You’ll learn what makes voodoo different and feared, especially from other parts of the world, including North, East, Central, and Southern Africa, which spirits to work with, and 7 powerful spells you can perform at home using simple materials.
What Are Voodoo Love Spells
Voodoo love spells are magical rituals rooted in African spiritual traditions that blend ancestor worship, spirit work, and symbolic actions to attract love or influence romantic feelings. These spells originated in West Africa and evolved through Caribbean and American practices.
Unlike other love magic that relies solely on your personal intention, voodoo spells call on spiritual beings called Loa to help manifest your desires. The Loa are powerful spirits that govern different aspects of life, and several of them specialize in matters of the heart.
Voodoo love spells use specific items like dolls, personal effects, oils, herbs, and offerings to the spirits. The combination of physical objects, ritual actions, and spiritual partnership creates powerful results that work quickly and intensely.
Why Voodoo Love Spells Are Different
Voodoo magic stands apart from other spellwork because you’re not working alone. You partner with spiritual forces that have their own power and personality. This collaboration makes voodoo spells stronger than spells that rely only on your personal energy.
The rituals involve more steps and specific materials than simple candle magic. Voodoo respects the spirits through offerings like rum, cigars, flowers, and food. In return, the spirits lend their considerable power to your romantic goals.
Voodoo love spells also work faster than many other types of love spells. Because you’re calling on ancient spirits who’ve helped with love problems for thousands of years, they know exactly how to shift romantic energy efficiently.
The Loa of Love
Several Loa spirits specialize in love, romance, and relationships. Understanding which spirit to call helps you choose the right spell for your situation.
Erzulie Freda is the primary goddess of love, beauty, and romance. She governs sweet romantic love, marriage, and emotional connection. Call on her for gentle attraction, finding a soulmate, or healing relationship wounds.
Erzulie Dantor represents passionate, protective love. She’s fierce and favors those who’ve been hurt or betrayed. Work with her when you need to defend your relationship, recover from heartbreak, or attract powerful protective love.
Papa Legba opens doors and removes obstacles. He’s the gatekeeper between the physical and spiritual worlds. Call on him first in any voodoo work to open the path for other spirits to help you.
When to Cast Voodoo Love Spells
Friday remains the best day for all love magic including voodoo spells because of the connection to Venus energy. The Loa respond well to work done on their traditional day, which for love goddesses is Friday.
The waxing moon phase strengthens spells for bringing love toward you or increasing existing attraction. The full moon provides maximum power for any love work. Use the waning moon only if you’re trying to remove a rival or end unwanted attention.
Cast voodoo love spells at night after sunset when the veil between worlds grows thinner. The spirits move more freely in darkness and respond better to calls made under the cover of night.
How to Prepare to Work With Voodoo
Voodoo requires respect for the spirits you’re calling. Never approach the Loa with arrogance or disrespect. They are powerful beings who help those who honor them and ignore or punish those who don’t.
Clean yourself before any voodoo ritual. Take a shower or bath to wash away negative energy. Wear clean clothes, preferably in colors the specific Loa favors. Erzulie Freda loves pink, white, and gold. Erzulie Dantor prefers red and black.
Create an altar or sacred space where you’ll perform your voodoo love spells. This doesn’t need to be elaborate, but it should be clean, private, and dedicated to your spiritual work.
How to Set Up Your Voodoo Altar
Choose a small table, shelf, or clean surface that can remain undisturbed. Cover it with a cloth in the color of the Loa you’re working with.
Place offerings on your altar before beginning any spell work. For Erzulie Freda, offer pink or white flowers, sweet perfume, champagne, cake, or jewelry. For Erzulie Dantor, offer strong rum, cigars, hot peppers, or red candles.
Add a glass of fresh water to your altar. The spirits use water as a conduit for their energy. Change this water every few days and always offer fresh water before starting a spell.
What You Need for Voodoo Love Spells
Voodoo spells use specific materials that carry symbolic and spiritual significance. While each spell requires different items, some supplies appear across multiple rituals.
Common voodoo love spell materials:
- Pink, red, or white candles
- Cloth for making voodoo dolls
- Personal items from the target person
- Oils like rose, jasmine, or attraction oil
- Herbs such as rose petals, damiana, or lavender
- Rum or champagne for offerings
- Flowers, preferably pink or red roses
- Ribbons in pink, red, or white
- Paper and pen for petitions
- Photos of yourself and the target
- Honey for sweetening
- Needles or pins for doll work
You can find most of these items at regular stores. Specialty voodoo supplies are available at occult shops or online at Amazon, but basic materials work fine for beginners.
Here are the 7 Voodoo Love Spells and How to Cast Them
Spell 1: Erzulie Freda Attraction Spell
This spell calls on the love goddess Erzulie Freda to make you irresistibly attractive to someone specific or to draw your ideal partner into your life. It works gently but powerfully.
What you need:
- One pink candle
- Pink or white flowers
- Sweet perfume or rose water
- Champagne or sweet wine
- A small piece of cake or candy
- Paper and pink pen
- Photo of yourself looking beautiful
Set up your altar with the pink cloth and place the flowers in a vase. Put the champagne and cake on the altar as offerings to Erzulie.
Light the pink candle and spritz the perfume in the air above your altar. Say: “Beautiful Erzulie Freda, goddess of love and desire, I call on you tonight. I ask for your blessing and your help in matters of my heart.” On the paper, write the name of the person you desire or write a description of your ideal partner.
Anoint the paper with perfume and fold it toward you three times. Place it under the candle along with your photo. Say: “Erzulie Freda, make me beautiful in their eyes. Let them see me as you see beauty. Draw their heart to mine with sweet attraction. Bless this love and make it real.” Let the candle burn for at least one hour. Leave the offerings on your altar for three days before disposing of them respectfully.
Spell 2: Voodoo Doll Love Binding
This spell uses a voodoo doll to create a powerful connection between you and the person you desire. The doll represents them, and what you do to the doll affects them spiritually.
What you need:
- Red or pink cloth
- Needle and thread
- Stuffing material like cotton or herbs
- Personal item from the target or their photo
- Red ribbon
- Rose oil or attraction oil
- Pink or red candle
Cut two doll shapes from the cloth and sew them together, leaving a small opening. Stuff the doll with cotton mixed with rose petals and lavender. If you have a personal item from the target like hair or a piece of their clothing, add it to the stuffing.
Sew the opening closed and hold the finished doll in your hands. Say: “This doll is [their name]. As I hold this doll, I hold their heart.” Anoint the doll with rose oil, focusing on the chest area where the heart would be.
Light the candle and wrap the red ribbon around the doll’s chest, binding its heart. Say: “Your heart binds to mine. You think of me constantly. You desire me completely. You come to me willingly.” Kiss the doll and place it near the burning candle. Keep the doll in a safe private place and hold it while visualizing the person falling in love with you. The longer you keep the doll, the stronger the binding becomes.
Spell 3: Honey Love Jar With Spirit Work
This voodoo version of the honey jar spell includes offerings to Erzulie and specific prayers that make it more powerful than regular honey jar magic.

- Honey
- Sugar
- Pink rose petals
- Your photo and target’s photo
- Paper and red pen
- Pink candle

Set up your altar with the flowers and liqueur as offerings to Erzulie. Light the pink candle and call on her: “Sweet Erzulie Freda, I call on you tonight. Help me sweeten [name]’s heart toward me.”
Write both names on the paper nine times each, crossing them to create a grid pattern. Place both photos facing each other with the paper between them. Put this stack in the jar.
Fill the jar with honey while saying: “As this honey is sweet, so [name] is sweet on me.” Add sugar and rose petals. Seal the jar and shake it gently. Place it on your altar under the candle. Say: “Erzulie, bless this work. Make [name] think sweet thoughts of me. Draw us together in love.” Let the candle burn completely. Keep the jar on your altar and light a pink candle on it every Friday.
Spell 4: Papa Legba Road Opening Love Spell
This spell calls on Papa Legba to remove obstacles blocking love from reaching you. Use this when you face barriers like distance, another relationship, or circumstances preventing you from being together.

- White and red candle
- Rum or whiskey
- Cigars or cigarettes
- Coins or money

Light both candles and say: “Papa Legba, keeper of the crossroads, opener of gates, I call on you tonight. I ask you to open the path between me and [name]. Remove all obstacles standing in our way.” Pour some rum on the ground or in a bowl as an offering. If you have cigars, light one and blow smoke toward the candles.
Write on the paper: “The road opens. All obstacles remove themselves. [Name] and I come together easily.” Place the paper between the candles along with the photo. Say: “Papa Legba, open the door. Clear the path. Let nothing stand between us.” Leave the offerings on your altar for three days. Thank Papa Legba sincerely for his help.
Spell 5: Erzulie Dantor Passionate Love Spell
This spell calls on the fierce aspect of love through Erzulie Dantor. She brings passionate, protective, almost possessive love. Use this for intense physical attraction and loyal devotion.

Light the red and black candles and call to her: “Erzulie Dantor, fierce mother, powerful protector, I call on your strength tonight. Bring [name] to me with passion and fire. Make them loyal only to me.”
Place both photos on the altar with yours on top of theirs, showing dominance in the relationship. Sprinkle a tiny bit of hot sauce on the target’s photo (just a drop). Say: “As this burns with heat, so [name] burns with desire for me. They want no one else. They think only of me.”
Pour rum over the photos and candles carefully. Say: “Erzulie Dantor, make this love fierce and true. Protect what is mine. Bring [name] to me with passion.” Let the candles burn completely. Keep the photos together on your altar.
Spell 6: Love Bath Ritual
This voodoo bath spell cleanses you of romantic blockages while making you magnetically attractive to your desired person. It combines physical cleansing with spiritual preparation.
What you need:
- Rose petals
- Lavender
- Honey
- Cinnamon
- Florida Water or rose water
- Pink or white candles
- Champagne or sweet wine for offering
Fill your bathtub with warm water. Add rose petals, lavender, a spoonful of honey, and a pinch of cinnamon to the water. Light candles around the bathroom.
Before entering the bath, pour a small offering of champagne or wine to Erzulie Freda. Say: “Erzulie Freda, bless this bath. Wash away all blocks to love. Make me beautiful and magnetic. Draw [name or ideal partner] to me.”
Step into the bath and submerge yourself completely three times. Each time you come up, say: “[Name] desires me. [Name] thinks constantly of me. [Name] comes to me now.” Splash the water over your head, heart, and body while visualizing the person you desire seeing you and feeling overwhelmed with attraction.
Stay in the bath for at least 20 minutes, soaking in the herbs and energy. When you get out, let yourself air dry naturally rather than toweling off. This keeps the magical energy on your skin.
Spell 7: Crossroads Love Petition
This powerful spell takes place at a crossroads where you bury a petition to the spirits. Crossroads are places of power in voodoo where the physical and spiritual worlds meet.
What you need:
- Paper and red pen
- Coins (three pennies or dimes)
- Rum
- Red cloth
- Photo of target or their name written nine times
- Red candle
Find an actual crossroads where two paths or roads intersect. Go there at night if possible, or early morning before sunrise.
Write your petition clearly: “I, [your name], ask the spirits of the crossroads to bring [target’s name] to me in love. Remove all obstacles. Create opportunities for us to be together. Make their heart open to loving me.”
Place the petition, photo, and coins in the red cloth. Tie it into a bundle. Stand at the center of the crossroads and light the red candle briefly. Say: “Spirits of the crossroads, I leave this offering. Grant my petition. Bring [name] to me in love.”
Pour the rum on the ground at the crossroads in the shape of an X. Bury your bundle at the center of the crossroads or as close as you can get. Walk away without looking back. The spirits will work on your behalf.
How Long Until Voodoo Spells Work
Voodoo love spells typically work faster than other forms of magic because you’re partnering with powerful spirits. Most people notice the first signs within three to seven days after casting.
The initial signs include dreaming about the person, feeling their energy thinking about you, or synchronicities like hearing their name repeatedly or seeing things that remind you of them. The target person usually makes contact within one to three weeks.
Full manifestation of your desire typically occurs within four to six weeks. This means the person confessing feelings, asking you out, or the relationship developing as you requested in your spell. [Some symptoms are withheld for ethical purpose]
What to Expect After Casting
After performing voodoo love spells, you might feel energized or emotionally charged. The presence of the Loa creates a distinct spiritual atmosphere that some people can feel physically.
Pay attention to your dreams in the nights following your spell. The Loa often communicate through dreams, sending messages or confirmation that they’re working on your request. Dreams featuring the target person indicate that the spiritual connection is forming.
Your target will begin showing interest through increased contact, flirtatious behavior, or engineering reasons to spend time with you. The attraction builds quickly once voodoo magic takes hold, often feeling intense and urgent to the target person.
What to Do While Waiting for Voodoo Love Spells Results
Maintain your altar and keep it clean. Refresh offerings weekly, especially flowers and water. The spirits appreciate continued devotion and reciprocate with faster, stronger results.
Thank the Loa regularly even before you see results. Gratitude strengthens your relationship with the spirits and encourages them to help you more. Light a candle on your altar and say simple thanks every few days.
Stay confident and act as if your desire is already on its way. Voodoo works through spiritual channels but manifests in the physical world. Put yourself in situations where you might encounter the target person naturally.
What to Do If Your Spell Doesn’t Work
Wait at least four weeks before deciding a voodoo spell failed. Spirits work on their own timeline, which doesn’t always match human impatience.
Make sure you honored the spirits properly with appropriate offerings. Insufficient respect or cheap offerings can result in the Loa ignoring your request. Improve your altar, give better quality offerings, and try again.
You can repeat the same spell with more devotion and better offerings. Or try a different spell from this guide that calls on a different Loa. Sometimes one spirit connects better with your specific situation than another.
How to Respect Voodoo Practice
Voodoo is a real spiritual tradition with deep cultural roots. While these spells are simplified for beginners, true voodoo practice involves much more depth, training, and community.
If voodoo resonates with you strongly, consider studying it more seriously. Read books by practitioners, learn about the religion’s history, and approach it with genuine respect rather than just using it for personal gain.
The Loa are real spiritual beings who deserve honor and gratitude. Never treat them like servants or demand things from them. Build a relationship through regular offerings, respect, and sincere devotion.
Conclusion
You now know the basics of voodoo love spells and how to cast them. These powerful rituals combine physical actions, spiritual partnership, and focused intention to create intense romantic results.
Remember that voodoo works through relationship with the Loa. Approach the spirits with respect, make proper offerings, and thank them sincerely for their help. The more you honor them, the more powerfully they work on your behalf.
Choose the spell that matches your specific romantic goal. Use Erzulie Freda for sweet gentle love, Erzulie Dantor for passionate protective love, or Papa Legba to remove obstacles blocking your path to romance.
Final Thought
Voodoo love spells carry the power of ancestors and spirits who’ve guided love for thousands of years. When you call on the Loa, you tap into ancient wisdom and supernatural forces that create changes beyond what human effort alone can achieve. Honor the tradition, respect the spirits, and watch as they transform your romantic life in ways you never imagined possible.
