The Truth About Love Spells
Why most fail and how to do them correctly
Let me tell you something that might surprise you: most love spells fail before they even begin.
I know this because I’ve been doing this work for decades—learning from my grandmother in the forests of Uganda, carrying the ancestral wisdom of Okuganga through my bloodline, and watching hundreds of people make the same mistakes over and over again.
And listen, I’m not here to judge anyone. When your heart is breaking, when the person you love has walked away, when you’re lying awake at 3am wondering if magic can bring them back—I understand that desperation. I’ve held space for that pain more times than I can count.
But here’s what I need you to hear: desperation is exactly why your spell won’t work.
Today, I’m going to share with you the real reasons love spells fail, and more importantly, how to do them correctly. This isn’t theory from a book. This is knowledge handed down through generations, tested in the real world, with real people and real results.

Picture this: you’re crying, you haven’t eaten properly in days, you can barely think straight. And you decide this is the moment to cast a love spell.
No, my dear. No.
In my tradition, we say that magic flows like water and it moves cleanest through a clear channel. When you’re shattered, when you’re desperate, when you’re clinging to someone who’s already gone, you’re not a clear channel. You’re a dam full of pain, fear, and need.
That energy? It repels. It pushes away the very thing you’re trying to attract.
I had a woman come to me last year,let's call her Resty. She'd been trying to bring back her ex for months. Candles, herbs, prayers, everything. Nothing worked. When we sat down together, I could feel it immediately. She wasn't calling love toward her. She was radiating panic outward like a siren. We had to stop. We had to heal first. And guess what happened 2 weeks later when she was whole again? He came back on his own.
You have to be okay without them before you can successfully call them back. I know that sounds backwards, but that's how the spiritual realm works.
Let me be straight with you about something the internet won’t tell you: you cannot force someone to love you.
I mean, technically, you can try. There are practitioners out there who will take your money and do domination work, control work, binding work that tries to override someone’s will.
But here’s what happens: even if it “works” temporarily, it creates a relationship built on spiritual chains. That person isn’t freely choosing you. They’re being held there by force. And eventually—always eventually,those chains break. And when they do, the backlash is worse than the original breakup.
“Omukwano omukake teguwangala.”
(A forced relationship does not last.)
The spirits do not appreciate manipulation. And karma is real. She keeps receipts.
So what do we do instead? We work with energy, not against it. We clear obstacles. We open pathways. We create conditions where love can flow freely if it’s meant to. But we never, ever try to control another person’s heart.
“I want him back.”
That’s what most people tell me. But when I ask why, things get interesting..
See the problem? None of those are about actual love. They’re about fear, ego, pride, loneliness.
If you don’t know exactly what you’re calling in, the universe doesn’t know what to send you.
“I want a relationship where I feel cherished, where we communicate honestly, where we both choose each other every day.
If that’s with [name] and he’s grown enough to offer that, bring him back.
If it’s not him, bring me someone better and help me release this attachment.”
See the difference? Crystal clear. And it leaves room for the universe’s wisdom.
You wouldn’t build a house without clearing the land first, would you? But so many people try to cast love spells without doing the inner work.
Here’s what proper preparation looks like in my tradition:
I once had a client who insisted on skipping all this. She wanted the spell, just the spell, nothing else. I warned her. She went to another practitioner who took her money and did the work anyway.
Three months later, she came back. The spell had “worked”—her ex returned. But within weeks, they were fighting exactly like before. All the old issues came flooding back. They broke up again, even more painfully.
Don’t skip the preparation. Don’t cheat the process.
Now we’re getting to the truth that nobody wants to hear, but I have to say it because it’s real:
Not everyone is meant to do this work.
You can have all the right ingredients. You can follow every step perfectly. You can have pure intentions and do all the preparation. But if you don’t have the ancestral gift, if the spirits haven’t chosen you for this work, those spells will sit there like dead weight. Nothing moves. Nothing shifts.
In my lineage, we say “Okuganga tekuyigirizibwa, kuweerebwa”
(Healing power is not taught, it is given.)
Either the ancestors have blessed you with this gift, or they haven’t.
I was born with this. I didn’t choose it instead it chose me. When I was a child in Uganda, I could see things others couldn’t. I could feel energies before I had words for them. My grandmother recognized the signs and began training me because the gift was already there.
The spirits don’t answer everyone. They answer those who have been chosen, initiated, and properly trained.
And here’s the other hard truth I need to share: some relationships are supposed to end.
Not every connection is meant to last forever. Some people come into our lives to teach us something specific, to help us grow in a particular way, and then the lesson is complete.
Trying to force that relationship back to life is like trying to make a butterfly return to its cocoon. It doesn’t work that way. The transformation has already happened.
If the relationship involved abuse, chronic disrespect, fundamental incompatibility, or simply two people who have genuinely grown in different directions, no spell in the world will make it healthy.
And honestly? In those cases, the spell blocking itself is a blessing. The universe is protecting you from rebuilding something that would only hurt you again.
Now let’s talk about what does work. Because when love spells are done correctly, they can absolutely create beautiful results.
You need to be in a place of wholeness, not brokenness. Not necessarily happy because healing is a process but you need to be functional. Eating, sleeping, taking care of yourself. Able to imagine a life without this person, even if you’d prefer to be with them.
This is the paradox of love magic: you have to genuinely be okay without them before you can successfully call them back.
When I cast a spell, I’m not just following steps. I’m calling on my ancestors—generations of healers who came before me. I’m speaking a language the spirits understand because I was born into it, trained in it, blessed for it.
The ingredients are just physical objects until someone with the gift breathes spiritual life into them. The words are just sounds until they’re spoken by someone the ancestors recognize.
The spirits respond to clarity. Before you do any work, sit with yourself and get crystal clear:
The most effective love spells don’t target the person directly. They target the situation.
Instead of trying to control your ex’s feelings, you:
Then you step back and let them choose freely.
Reading these steps doesn’t mean you’ll get results. You can follow every instruction perfectly and still nothing happens. Because without the ancestral gift, without the spiritual connection, you’re just going through motions.
Think of it like a recipe, you can have all the ingredients, but without the right hands, it won’t turn out the same.
Day 1-3: Spiritual Cleansing
Day 4-5: Cord Cutting
This is non-negotiable. Light two candles—one for you, one for your ex. Tie a string between them. Sit with all the pain, resentment, and dysfunction. Really feel it. Then cut the cord and say: “I release what was harmful. I keep only what was love and truth.”
Day 6-7: Clarity Work
Stand in front of a mirror every day and ask: “Do I truly want [name] back, or do I just want to stop hurting?” Wait for the honest answer. Write it down.
Timing Matters
What You’ll Need:
This is the hardest part. After casting the spell, you have to let it go.
The signs of a working love spell usually appear in layers,first internally, then externally.
Inside yourself:
In your external world:
If the spell is bringing someone back:

When you work with someone who actually has the gift, someone born into this, trained by elders, and recognized by the ancestors, everything changes.
When I work with someone, I bring generations of ancestral power, direct communication with the spirits, and the ability to see what’s really happening spiritually.
Love spells work. They absolutely do. I’ve seen miraculous reunions happen. But love spells don’t work by force. They work by clearing the path, healing wounds, and creating space for genuine connection to grow.
