Are you ready to draw love into your life with a spell that truly works? In this article, I'll guide you step-by-step through creating a powerful love-drawing petition using time-honored traditions. Whether you're seeking new romance, strengthening an existing bond, or amplifying self-love, this method taps into focused intention and the art of petition writing—a practice rooted in magical traditions like Hoodoo.
Love spells are not about control; they’re about aligning with the love you deserve. So, let’s approach this with clear intentions, respect for free will, and an open heart. Ready to weave a little magic into your life? Let’s begin.
1. Gather Your Materials
-A small piece of paper. Preferably brown paper torn from a grocery bag or unlined parchment. Pro tip: the closer it matches your skin tone, the better.
-A red or pink pen (for love work), marker or pencil.
-A love spell candle like: Love Drawing, Amas Veritas, Marriage Blessing, Reunion Spell, or a plain red or pink candle.
-Optional: love-drawing herbs (e.g., rose petals, cinnamon, or damiana), personal concerns (e.g., hair or handwriting of the desired person, if appropriate), and anointing oil like Love Drawing Oil or Lilith Oil
2. Prepare Your Space
Cleanse your space and yourself by burning incense like copal or sandalwood, or using Florida Water.
Set an intention in your heart and mind that this work is for love that serves your highest good.
3. Tear the Paper to the Right Size
Tear the paper into a square or rectangle, ensuring all edges are torn (not cut) to give it a natural energy flow.
As you tear the edges, think about removing any obstacles to love in your life.
4. Write Your Petition
-Start with the Target's Name:
Write the full name of the person (if specific) or "My Future Lover" if you are open to the universe’s choice. Write their name 7 times, one below the other. Write each line continuously unbrokenly, without lifting your pen, dot i's, and cross t's after the lines are finished.
-Cross the Name with Your Desire:
-Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise, and write your desire over their name 7 times in the same continuous unbroken style. For example: "Lovemedeeply," "Bedevotedtome," or "Attractmysoulmate." Write this as a statement, not a request, to affirm that it is already happening.
-Add Keywords or Symbols:
-Around the names and words, draw hearts, the Venus symbol (♀), or other symbols of love and attraction. You can also add love-drawing affirmations, such as "As I will it, so it is," around the border.
5. Dress the Petition
Fold the paper towards you (to draw love in).
Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise and fold it again towards you.
Continue folding until it is small and compact, but still able to set the candle on flatly.
Dress the folded paper with a love-drawing oil or sprinkle it with a pinch of powdered herbs like sugar, cinnamon, or rose petals.
6. Activate the Petition
Place the petition under a love spell, dressed red or pink candle. Light the candle and speak your intention aloud (in your own heartfelt words). For example:
"As this candle burns, love comes to me. My heart is full, and my soul is ready to receive the love I deserve."
Let the candle burn down completely or snuff it out if needed, repeating the ritual daily until the candle is finished.
7. Use the Petition
After the candle burns down, keep the petition in a safe, sacred place, like a love mojo bag, on a personal love altar, under your mattress, or in your wallet.
If the petition no longer serves you, dispose of it respectfully by burning it.
Now that you’ve learned how to create your own love-drawing petition, take a moment to ground yourself in gratitude and trust the process. The magic lies in your focus, intention, and openness to receive love in all its forms.
