Here are the 5 Best Love Spells to Attract Love and Strengthen Your Bonds, Inspired by African Traditions.

By African Traditional Healing

You gaze at your loved one with a heart overflowing, feeling as if it might burst with emotion. It might be someone you’ve admired from afar, lacking the bravery to express your feelings. Or perhaps an ex who still lingers in your thoughts, especially in the quiet of night when the emptiness of your bed echoes their absence. You could be in a stagnant relationship, seeking a gentle push toward a deeper, sacred union. In African traditional healing, love spells are not just about romantic bonds; they extend to sweetening ties with family, colleagues, and even strangers, fostering harmony in all interactions.

These spells can also nurture self-love, as the relationship with oneself is foundational—it shapes the partners we welcome into our lives. Drawing from ancient African wisdom, where healers like Dr. Jabali harness ancestral energies, natural herbs, and rituals, love spells channel positive forces toward your goals. They demand respect, a focused spirit, and unwavering faith in the ancestors’ guidance.

In African traditional healing, it’s essential to safeguard against negative spirits and use incantations for the collective good. Love, in this context, is pure, non-manipulative, flowing freely like a river, embodying acceptance, kindness, and generosity. For your spell to manifest, your heart must hold pure intentions. Below, we share five powerful love spells, adapted from African traditions, to transform your energies and pave the way for a life rich in love and unity. Dr. Jabali, a renowned African traditional healer, offers expert guidance to ensure these rituals align with your unique path.

How Did We Compile This List?

In African traditional healing, love spells were once shared in sacred gatherings among elders and healers. Today, with global access, we’ve curated free, effective spells online that yield positive results, infused with African elements like herbs, ancestral invocations, and natural symbols. We selected only those that build protective, positive energies, dispel negativity, and honor free will. These gentle yet potent rituals should be performed in a serene state. If heartbreak lingers, meditate first to center yourself. Be ready for results—ensure your desires align with your true heart.

Dr. Jabali emphasizes consulting a healer for personalized rituals, as African traditions stress balance and ancestral approval.

Top 5 Love Spells

1. Honey Jar Spell

This timeless spell draws from African traditions where honey symbolizes sweetness and harmony, much like in rituals honoring ancestors for unity. Healers use it to mend relationships, invoking the gentle pull of natural bonds.

Ideal for resolving conflicts or bridging distances, it softens hearts and fosters connection. In African healing, it’s about allowing the relationship to evolve naturally through your actions post-ritual.

Honey Jar Spell Casting

To begin, you’ll need a pen and paper. Write the name of the person you’re thinking of on the paper three times in succession. Next, rotate the paper 90 degrees and write your own three times in succession, overlapping the letters with the letters of the other person’s name. This next part is crucial: create a clear intention. Whether you’re looking to improve your romantic relationship; wanting to reconcile a long lost friendship; or even trying to improve your relationships with co-workers, be clear about your intended outcome.

Next, write down your intention – be careful here, because you need to write it out in a circle without lifting your pen. Writing in cursive is helpful for this step but not required. Once you’ve written the full intention out in a circle around both of your names, you can go back to add the little dot to your i’s and cross your t’s. That’s it for the pen – you can set it aside.

Hold the paper that contains your names and your intention and fold it so that it fits inside your honey jar. As you place it inside the honey jar, make sure that your fingers graze the honey. Leave the folded paper inside and as you remove your fingers from the jar, use the following incantation:

“Just like this honey is sweet, that’s how (insert name of other person) will be for me.”

After saying the incantation out loud, lick the honey that coated your finger and seal the jar of honey that contains the folded paper.

Grab a candle, set it on top of the jar, and light it. It’s important you choose the right color for the candle to complement your intention. Choose from the following colors depending on your situation:

• White – this is a neutral color and can be used when your situation is general in nature.
• Pink – this color is all about emphasizing love; it can be any kind of love, not necessarily romantic.
• Red – use this color if you’re looking to improve a romantic relationship. Red signified passion.
• Brown – this is a useful color if you’re dealing with matters regarding justice. If you have an upcoming court date, for example, this color can help to improve the way you are perceived to improve your outcome.

Let the candle burn down completely. Once this has happened, store it in a secret location only you know about – no one should be able to find it. Let a full seven days pass and complete the candle ritual again. Continue this process on a weekly basis – being careful to light the candle on the same day each week – until you receive the fruits of this love spell.

Gather a pen, paper, and a jar of pure honey (preferably wild African honey for potency). Write the person’s name three times on the paper. Rotate it 90 degrees and overlay your name three times. Circle both with a clear intention, such as improving harmony or reigniting affection—write it in a continuous circle without lifting the pen.

Fold the paper to fit in the jar, grazing your fingers in the honey as you insert it. Recite:

“Just like this honey is sweet, drawn from Africa’s bountiful lands, so shall (name) be drawn to me, guided by the ancestors.”

Lick the honey from your finger and seal the jar. Place a candle atop (choose colors mindfully: white for general harmony, pink for love, red for passion, brown for justice-related bonds). Light it weekly, letting it burn fully. Store secretly and repeat for seven days, then weekly until manifestation.

2. Spell to Get an Ex Back

This is a popular spell, particularly because modern love affairs often end prematurely, with both parties longing for connection but remaining too prideful to stay. This spell is powerful and is best completed with an expert. Though it can be completed at home, an expert helps to soften the spell and create the right intention so the other person isn’t hurtled back into your life suddenly; rather, they can make conscious choices in their lives that lead them to the realizations they need to return to you.

When you work with an expert, this spell works toward dissipating the negative energies that were kicked up between you and your ex so that reconciliation becomes a possibility. When you break up with someone, especially if things ended badly, it’s like having a thick fog between the two of you that prevents you from seeing the truth of each other. Anger, hurt, and resentment linger in the air and it’s difficult to remember the reasons you fell in love in the first place.

With this spell, you can restore your broken relationship. The fog will clear, and the sun will shine on both your hearts, warming you up and preparing you for a reunion.

Get an Ex Back Spell Casting

To cast this spell, you’ll need to check the moon cycle. It can only be performed during the three nights of the waxing moon. Make sure you’re truly ready to reconnect with your ex because this spell works quickly – you’ll see the results within just a few days. Prepare for this love spell cast by gathering a few supplies: a red candle, a photo of your ex, paper, a pencil, and a spoon filled with honey.

When the moon cycle is right and you’re ready to start the spell casting session, begin by lighting the red candle. Sit with it for three minutes with your attention focused on the flame. Next, turn your attention toward the photograph of your ex and imagine the two of you reuniting and reconciling. The more vivid and detailed your visualizations the better. Take a piece of paper with your pencil and write both your name and your ex’s name – draw a circle around both of your names.

Reach over to your spoon filled with honey and begin to drizzle the honey on both of your names on the paper. As you perform this ritual, recite the following incantation out loud:

“I wish for you to return to me with this spell; may we create a connection that lasts.” 

Place the spoon aside and sit in a comfortable position to meditate for three minutes. Focus on your breath – breathe deeply into your belly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. This will calm your mind and ease your feelings. Once you’ve entered a state of calm, go ahead and blow out the candle. Thank the fire for working with you and save the candle for use the next night.

Take the paper you used and rip it into as many small pieces as you can. Take the remnants into your garden and bury them deep. Make sure no one can see or find them, as this will render the spell ineffective. On the next night of the waxing moon, go ahead and repeat this ritual, using the same process and incantation. Use the same candle as the first night. Repeat once more on the third night of the waxing moon and prepare to receive your ex with open arms.

Popular in African healing for reconciling lost loves, this spell clears negative energies like a cleansing ritual, allowing truth to emerge. Best done with a healer like Dr. Jabali to ensure gentle reconnection, respecting free will and ancestral wisdom.

It dissipates the “fog” of anger, revealing the original bond, much like invoking spirits to heal emotional wounds.

Get an Ex Back Spell Casting

Perform during the waxing moon’s three nights. Supplies: red candle, ex’s photo, paper, pencil, honey spoon.

Light the candle, meditate on the flame for three minutes. Visualize reunion vividly. Write and circle names on paper, drizzle honey while reciting:

“I call upon the ancestors to guide you back; may our connection endure.”

Meditate three minutes, extinguish the candle. Tear and bury the paper deeply. Repeat nightly with the same candle. Results appear swiftly.

3. Pink Candle Spell

For this love spell casting, you’ll need a new candle that has never been used. You’ll also need a sheet of white paper and a pen with ink in your favorite color. Once you have your supplies gathered, retreat to a quiet location where you can focus. Sit down and get comfortable; focus on your breathing for a few minutes until you reach a calm state of mind. If you’ve had a stressful day, you may need to elongate this process and let the negativity of the day drain out of you. Take the time you need – your calm, clear mind is a requisite for this spell.

Aside from your mind being clear, you must also be ready, willing, and open to receiving love. If you have been closed off, avoidant, and distant, you are not ready for this spell. But if your heart is open and you feel truly ready to receive love, you may move forward with the ritual. If you don’t feel ready, that’s okay. Acknowledge yourself and thank your heart for protecting you. It will open when you’re ready.

Pink Candle Spell Casting

When you’re ready to move forward with the love spell, schedule this ritual for a Friday evening. In your quiet, secluded location, go ahead and light the pink candle. Take out the sheet of paper and write your first name along with the last name of the person you wish to share love with. Draw a circle around both names. Next, set the pen down and begin visualizing the two of you together. Make the images vivid – add colors, textures, feeling, and scents to your visualizations. Feel the love you share with this person.

Once you have the images cemented in your mind, recite the following incantation out loud:

“Our fate brings us together. We are meant to be and so it is.” 

Stay with the lit candle for at least fifteen minutes – watch the flame as it burns the candle down. If the flame burns out on its own, great. If it doesn’t, you can snuff it out but don’t blow it out. If you do, you’ll break the spell. This love spell can be repeated with a larger pink candle for seven consecutive nights.

In African traditions, candles represent light from the ancestors, guiding love. This spell uses visualization to manifest bonds, emphasizing openness and readiness.

Schedule for Friday evenings. Ensure a clear, open heart—meditate if needed.

Pink Candle Spell Casting

New pink candle, white paper, favorite-ink pen. Light the candle in a quiet space. Write and circle names. Visualize your shared love vividly. Recite:

“Ancestors unite our fates; we are destined, so it shall be.”

Watch the flame 15 minutes. Repeat with a larger candle for seven nights if desired.

4. Marriage Magic Spells

The name of this spell says it all. If you’re in a relationship that is ready for lifelong commitment, but you and your partner don’t yet feel completely ready, this spell can help to ripen your relationship so that you both feel comfortable taking that next sacred step in your union. This spell works to strengthen the bond you have with your beloved and invites deeper love and harmony into your relationship.

It is vital you understand that this spell, and marriage spells in general, do not go against the free will of another person. It can only work when you have pure intentions and when the other person is already in a space to receive the intention. This love spell is about further enhancing what exists between you and the other person and cannot create a love bond out of thin air where there isn’t already a stable, loving relationship.

Marriage Spell Casting

For this spell, you’ll need spathiphyllum – this is a plant with white flowers. The white flowers are used as a symbol for a white, flowing wedding dress. Once you bring the plant home, you may go ahead and replant it into a new pot. You’ll need soil, stones, a sheet of paper, a photo of yourself, a photo of your loved one, and a pen.

There are a few notes about how to prepare the new pot: you’ll first need to write your intention onto a piece of paper, fold it, and place it at the very bottom of the pot. The soil in the new pot must be from a location where you and your beloved have shared positive energy and loving moments. For example, if you often garden together and share laughs and kind words, soil from your garden is ideal. If there is a park you frequent, soil from that particular park may be used. Before pouring the charged soil into the pot, place a few stones at the bottom. This additional step makes the love spell more potent.

Once the steps above have been completed, move your plant to a room where your partner spends more of their time. If you regularly sleep and enjoy intimacy with your partner, the bedroom is a great place for the plant. Take the photos you printed, roll them up, and wrap each of them in foil paper to protect them. Take your wrapped up and foil-protected photo and plant it in the soil on the right side of your plant – it should be about a third of the way into the soil. Do the same with the photo of your loved one, except on the left side of the plant.

Water your plant regularly until a completely new flower grows. Once it blooms, take a pair of scissors, and cut it off. Place it onto a napkin and let it dry. Once the flower has completely dried, separate it into three equal parts. Take one-third of the dried flower, place it into a cup, and add your choice of natural tea along with sugar. Stir the tea clockwise, lean over the cup and recite the following incantation as you continue to stir:

“Be my husband, be my husband, be my husband.” (Substitute with “wife” if using this spell for a woman).

With the tea in hand, walk over to your beloved and let them enjoy the tea. Make sure they consume every last drop. You’ll have two-thirds of the dried flower left after this initial tea offering. Repeat this process for two consecutive days, preparing the tea with the dried flower, reciting the incantation, and letting your loved one finish the tea each time. You should notice results within a week – however, if you don’t, you may wait until the next new moon, and follow through with the complete spell again, using a newly bloomed flower from your plant.

The reason this spell is so effective is because the soil charges with your and your beloved’s energies and uses the natural magic that exists between the two of you already.

This spell ripens commitments, strengthening existing bonds through African plant magic and ancestral blessings. It enhances harmony without forcing will, using symbols like white flowers for purity.

Ensure pure intentions and a solid foundation.

Marriage Spell Casting

Use spathiphyllum (peace lily, symbolizing unity in African rituals). Write intention on paper, fold, place at pot bottom with charged soil (from shared positive spots) and stones. Replant, add rolled, foil-wrapped photos (yours right, theirs left). Water until a new flower blooms, dry it, divide into three. Brew tea with one-third, sugar, stir clockwise reciting:

“Be my spouse, guided by ancestors; be my spouse.”

Share the tea with your beloved. Repeat two days. If no results, retry at new moon.

5. No-Ingredient Love Spells

Love spells often include supplies and ingredients; however, they’re not always necessary. You can cast love spells that require only the power of your focused attention and your imagination. These types of love spells can be practiced for a variety of different purposes, whether you’re looking to enhance the quality of an existing relationship, whether you’re looking to improve the relationship you have with yourself, or whether you’re ready to attract a new partner into your life.

How to Cast the No-Ingredient Love Spell

As you’ve likely noticed with the spells we listed above, the intensity of your visualizations is a key component to getting a love spell to work. The most experienced witches recognize that through the power of your thoughts, you can invite someone to appear in your life. If you’ve ever held the image of someone in your mind with loving intensity and had them call you, show up unexpectedly, or reconnect with you online out of the blue, you have already been practicing this form of white magic.

Often, this happens unintentionally when you let your mind wander and it keeps returning to a specific person. However, you can practice this love spell intentionally and harness greater control over your vision and outcome.

This type of spell depends on two factors: timing and your imagination. When you’re ready to try this type of love spell, schedule the ritual for a Friday evening – it works even better on a full moon. Find a comfortable position and a quiet place without distractions and begin to focus on your breathing. Close your eyes and let the chatter of your mind calm. When you feel your energy shift into a more calmed state, begin to visualize yourself with the other person. Envision the relationship you long to have with them as you keep breathing deeply.

The more vivid your visualizations, the more powerful the results. You may repeat this spell once per month, preferably during the full moon. Trust the process and you’ll soon begin to experience the magic of your own potent thoughts.

African healing often relies on mind power and ancestral connection, no props needed. Use focused thoughts to attract or enhance love, for self, existing bonds, or new ones.

How to Cast the No-Ingredient Love Spell

Friday evening or full moon. Sit quietly, breathe deeply. Visualize desired relationship vividly. Repeat monthly. Trust ancestral flow.

Different Types of Love Spells

There are many different types of love spells, some that require a detailed ritual that spans across time and others, like the no-ingredient love spells that are simple, requiring only your time and your mind. Some love spells use dark magic; these spells can create havoc as they work to alter the natural flow and harmony of events. These should be avoided as the results come only at the expense of something else. In the end, you lose much more than what you gain.

When using white magic, the love spells are gentle, and honor the free will of all involved. These spells can be used for different relationship-related purposes. Often, they are sought out by those looking for romantic love and they can be used to assist in the repair of broken relationships. Casting spells like these can create harmony in co-working environments, and they can even help to soften the hardened perceptions of an authority figure to provide you with a better outcome if you’re in trouble. They are like a light wind that directs energies in a way that benefits all.

African traditions offer varied spells: some with herbs/plants, others candles or honey, or pure visualization. Avoid dark magic that disrupts harmony—stick to white magic honoring free will, promoting peace in relationships, work, or self.

What Are the Different Ways to Cast a Love Spell?

You can cast a love spell using plants, using candles, using honey, or just using your imagination. Often, you use paper and a pen to write down your intention and solidify it with a circle that represents your union with another person. No matter what kinds of supplies or other ingredients you use, there are a few important factors that are a part of every love spell:

• Your calm, focused energy

It’s important you prepare mentally and emotionally before you begin a love spell ritual. That is why the spells we share above invite you to meditate for a few minutes, to focus on your breathing, and to allow yourself the time you need to unwind from your day. Love spells work with your energy and when you’re inviting love into your life, a calm and centered state of mind makes it easy for the loving energies to flow to you.

• Your open heart

You simply cannot love or be loved with a closed heart. Even if your beloved runs to you, aflame with burning desire, you won’t even be able to feel it if your heart is closed. An open heart is crucial for love spell casting.

• Your clear, intentional incantation 

Every spell has a specific incantation – you may also create your own, but this is a step that can’t be missed when performing a love spell. It is the ultimate intention that directs the energies of the spell.

Methods include plants (e.g., spathiphyllum), candles, honey, or imagination. Key: calm energy, open heart, clear incantation invoking ancestors.

How Long Do Love Spells Take to Work?

Some spells may work in as little as a few days, while others may take months before you notice the outcome. Remember that when you are working with white magic, you are flowing with the natural energies of your loved one, and you are respecting their process, their autonomy, and their right to choose. White magic enhances what already exists; it is like water that helps a plant grow. It does not force outcomes and does not allow for anything to blossom that doesn’t already have roots. If you have been diligent in planting the right seeds in your relationships, love spells help you grow in love together.

Days to months, flowing with natural energies and free will. Patience nurtures growth.

The Risks Involved with Casting Love Spells

as long as you’re working with clean spells and you’re honest, reverent, and kind in your heart when you recite your incantations, there is nothing for you to worry about. If your heart harbors resentment, if you believe yourself to be better than the other person, or if you have ill intentions, love spells may work in a roundabout way, making you realize why you are blocking the love you long for. These lessons can be hard to learn, but ultimately, they are necessary for your growth.

With pure intentions and ancestral respect, risks are minimal. Ill motives may backfire, teaching lessons. Dr. Jabali ensures safe practices.
