Binding spells have been used for thousands of years to bind something or someone to the spell caster. Love binding spells are a specific kind of binding magic that strengthens a romantic relationship between two people. Unlike regular love spells, love-binding spells work best if you’re trying to intensify the love or rekindle the romance between you and a significant other. We’ve collected the best love-binding spells to promote a happy, healthy relationship between you and your partner.

Simple Love Binding Spell

  • Write your name and the name of your partner on a piece of paper.
  • Light a pink candle, imagining the bond between you and your partner as it burns.
  • Tie two pieces of red yarn together and bury the candle, yarn, and paper outside.

  1. This spell binds a person you know and admire to your heart and soul. Once you stick the first pin into the candle, say: “When this candle burns to the pin, the process of love and desire will begin.” [1]
    • A black candle provides protection and blocks bad energy while a red candle represents romance, passion, and seduction.
  2. Stick the pin just far enough that it sticks out on its own—make sure not to stick the pin in too far or it could break the candle. After putting in the second pin, say: “When this candle burns to this pin, the process of love and desire will come to a successful completion and end.” [2]

  3. Picture what you and the other person will do once you’re together, like holding hands, kissing, or laughing and joking around. Stare into the flame as you visualize until the candle melts to the first pin, causing it to drop. [3]
  4. As you look into the fire, repeat the incantation below. Allow the second pin to drop like the first one. Keep one pin with you and give the other pin to the person you’re binding to you. [4]
    • “The Goddess of the moon, I summon thee.
      By the light of its rays shine bright on me.
      My wish is for my lover to never leave,
      Their will to be bound to mine.
      Only I have the power to break such a bond,
      Strong as the Universe and as pure as water indeed.
      This is my wish, when the flame hits the pin it will come true.
      This is my wish, so mote it be!”

  1. Sit in a comfortable position in an open area, preferably on a Friday night during a full or waxing moon. Close your eyes and think about your significant other as you meditate on your intentions. [5]
    • For example, if you want to rekindle love with your partner or spouse, think about your favorite memories together, how much you love them, and why you enjoy spending time with them.
    • If you believe in calling on gods to help you, recite this before casting the spell: “I, (your name), call upon Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, to aid me with this spell.”
  2. Line both pictures up so that your face and your partner’s face stare directly at each other and press them together. If the pictures don’t line up exactly, use a pair of scissors to trim the edges until they do. [6]
  3. Cut 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 cm) of red or pink string, thread it through a needle, and use it to sew the edges of the two photos together. Chant the following spell over and over until you’re done sewing: [7]
    • “Red hot love, burn bright in the sky
      We are connected, make this ship fly
      I know I love them, I hope they love me too
      Ours hearts are as one, we will make do
      True love, find me
      So mote it be.”
    • If you called on the goddess Aphrodite, finish by saying: “Aphrodite, I release you. Thank you for your help. Blessed be.”
  4. Lean the candle carefully over the photos until a few drops of wax fall on the back. If you can, trace the wax into a heart before it dries. If not, draw a heart with a red pen or lipstick. The spell will then be complete. [8]
    • Put the photos in a powerful place, like by your bed, with your spellcasting equipment, or on your altar.

  3. Cut about 2 feet (61 cm) of red or pink ribbon. Chant the incantation below as you tie the paper with your written intentions to both candles, binding you and your partner together. Feel free to modify this chant to fit your needs: [11]
    • “With this flame, I kindle our love. With this ribbon, I bind our hearts. Let our love grow and our bond deepen in respect and mutual affection. As I speak, so it will be.”
  4. Let the candles burn completely as you reflect on the love you had with your partner and visualize the ribbon strengthening your bond. Once the candles are burnt out, bury the paper, ribbon, and melted wax so your intentions will ground themselves to the Earth and become true. [12]
