Don’t override someone’s free will by putting a love spell on them directly. Trust me: these options are better for everyone.
Yes: putting a love spell directly on a particular person is a thing.
But that does not mean you should do it! As I wrote all about in this post, it’s generally a pretty terrible idea.
Do you really want to take away someone’s free will so they will fake love you? Is turning a person into your robot love slave what you truly want?
If the answer to either question is yes, I beg you to see that for what it is: sad. Please don’t be desperate, and bully someone into liking you. There’s no need! Instead, call in someone who actually and legitimately wants to spend time with you.
That being said, I know there are times when it can be tempting. That’s why I’ve assembled these 5 alternatives you can use in a variety of situations.
For lots more karma-friendly love spells, and the secrets to successful love magic, check out my book, Little Guide to Love Magic: Everything You Need to Know, Including Love Spells.
1. Attract an Awesome Partner
What do you really want here, ultimately? You want to be in a relationship with someone awesome who authentically desires you just as much as you desire them. Sure, it’s possible this person may indeed be the person you have in mind. But it may also be someone else entirely. This spell leaves the specific person up to the Universe, which always (always!) has the best possible results.
On a Friday when the moon is between new and full, rub sweet almond oil all over the surface of a pink pillar candle. Then, roll it in sugar and stand it in the center of a dinner plate. Sprinkle the petals from one red and one pink rose around the candle (on the plate) in a clockwise direction. Light the candle and say:
I now summon my perfect love.
Whomever and wherever you are, come to me!
Thank you and blessed be.
Feel, sense, and imagine how you will feel to be with your beloved. Sense the warmth in your heart when you are together, as well as your passion, your laughter, and your joy. Smile and be grateful that your divine partner is already on their way to you now.
Allow the candle to safely burn for at least an hour. Then extinguish and light it again as needed for fire safety (i.e. extinguish when you need to leave the candle unattended and relight when you return) until it’s burned all the way down.
2. Heal an Existing Relationship
If you’re already in a relationship, this ritual will give you a dose of healing and harmony, without disrespecting your partner’s free will.
On a full moon, place a small photo of you and your beloved in a small Mason jar. Completely immerse the photo in equal parts honey and aloe vera gel. Close the lid of the jar and place a tea light on top. Light the candle and say:
What we need to heal, let us heal.
What we need to feel, let us feel.
Open the hearts of [name of partner] and me,
And light up our magic – so mote it be.
Take a moment to remember what you love about your partner. Recall times you’ve laughed together and connected deeply. Feel gratitude for this relationship, and vow to show your partner how much you love them. Express gratitude to the divine in any way that feels right to you.
Let the tea light burn all the way down while being mindful of fire safety. Keep the sealed jar on your altar for one full moon cycle (28 days). Then rinse it out, throw out the photo, and wash the jar for future use.
3. Magnify Your Attractiveness
Perhaps, if you’re honest, you’re not really sure if you want to attract a relationship just yet.
What you do know is you’d like to attract some romantic attention and have a little fun. This spell will enhance and magnify your natural attractiveness.
Put a tiny bit of sandalwood or ylang ylang in a little sweet almond oil. Gently anoint your belly, heart area, and throat. Say:
I activate my beauty and call forth all of my charms.
Feel gorgeous and attractive, and expect attention. Smile and give thanks.
Feel free to repeat this ritual once per moon cycle.
4. Release an Unhealthy Connection
It’s possible that you are in an obsessive, abusive, or codependent loop/
This spell will help you release the unhealthy aspects of the connection (AKA “cords of attachment”) in order to help you move on and open up to a much healthier and more ideal energy, relationship, and state of mind.
It’s possible that you will open yourself up to the same relationship – just a healthier version of it.
Starting the day after a full moon, take one bath a day for seven days. Fill the tub with warm water. Dissolve into it 2 cups Epsom salt, 1 cup sea salt, and 1/4 cup baking soda. Before you get in the water, light a white candle and say:
Great Goddess, please purify me of all cords of fear and attachment to [name of person].
Thank you for healing me and setting me free. And thank you for clearing the way for beautiful new conditions to arise.
Feel yourself becoming healthier, stronger, and more radiant as you soak.
5. Bring About The Best Possible Outcome
Whether your initial desire to perform a love spell was born from a crush, a relationship with a current partner, or a past relationship, this spell will help bring about the best possible outcome for you and everyone involved.
By trusting the outcome to the Universe instead of assuming you know what’s best, you gain access to a larger perspective, and one that takes everything into account: past, present, future, as well as unforeseen potentials and possibilities.
On a new moon, bless a bracelet of rose quartz beads by placing it in bright sunlight. Say:
God/Goddess/All That Is,
Thank you for establishing beautiful conditions in my love life, completely, perfectly, and in divine timing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessed be. And so it is.
Smile and feel lovable and loved. Wear the bracelet until you feel it’s completed its work.

J.J. says
Hi Tess,
I am practically in love with this amazing guy. He knows how to brighten up my worst days and make me laugh. Supposedly, he was going to ask me out, as he shared the connection too, but something happened.
And now, he isn’t so sure of himself, confused really, thinking he likes this other girl. Who I happen to believe is my best friend, and she, apparently, enjoys his presence too, I guess. I love my best friend and all, but she doesn’t do commitment very well, as known from prior relationships of hers. After awhile, she grows tedious of the relationship, and ends it.
I care so much about him, and it pains me that no matter how much you love somebody, maybe it’s not enough.
What spell do you suggest for me?
Tess Whitehurst says
I recommend the best possible outcome spell.
Chans says
Could I do these for someone else?
(my daughter), if so, how would that happen?
Thank you!!
She’s so lonely….
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Chans! No, I wouldn’t recommend that. Instead of seeing her as lonely, I suggest seeing her as whole and complete. Send her positive energy and unconditional approval and expect her to unfold in the perfect way, at the perfect pace (which may or may not look like you expect). This will support her best.
Susan says
Can I do #2 and #4 during the same time period? #5 got cut short per your suggestion, but I still aim to do at least #4. I just think #2 might benefit us as well, in the situation I’m in.
Tess Whitehurst says
Susan, I would choose one or the other for now. Which one feels more powerful for you? Do that one.
Susan says
Thank you! If I choose to do #2 (as I do think some healing needs to take place), can I do #4 next month? And I guess I should clarify – doing number 4 doesn’t mean you’re cutting the person out of your life, correct? Just removing the negativity?
Tess Whitehurst says
Yes and yes. 🙂
JJ says
Hi Tess.
I was with this guy for about 3 years. We broke up back in March and 1 weeks later we got back together. I did spell #2 back in April a day after the full moon to help us, and i felt like it worked.
This past weekend he again broke up with me. I’m not sure if I should try spell #2 again or this time do #5. I really do love him and we’ve been through a lot together and during his difficult times I never left his side.
Any advice? Thank you.
Tess Whitehurst says
My sense is that you will do best by moving on from this relationship. Here’s a meditation to help you cut the energetic cords: https://tesswhitehurst.com/cord-cutting-meditation/
Pavi says
I did a love spell on someone without knowing the consequences. Well now he’s with someone and I’m terribly in love with him and heartbroken. How can I undo the spell effect and move one with my life. Please help
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Pavi. I suggest the Selenite and White Sage Cure from this post: https://tesswhitehurst.com/5-awesome-ways-to-break-a-hex-or-a-curse/
