The Ultimate Guide to Binding Love Spells for an Ex-Lover: A Path to Reconciliation
Greetings, child of spirit. I am Baba Ali. I feel why you have come here. You are carrying the weight of a heart that beats in two places at once—in your own chest, and in the memory of a love that has passed. There is an ache, a pull, an unbreakable thread that connects you to a soul you can no longer hold. You are not alone in this feeling. In my many years of practice, I have sat with countless souls who, like you, feel the echo of a profound connection and seek a way to mend what has been broken. You have searched for binding love spells for an ex lover, not out of a desire to control, but from a deep, intuitive knowing that the story is not yet over.
This is not a place of tricks or false promises. This is a space of understanding, power, and sacred work. The path of Voodoo is deep, often misunderstood, but at its core, it is a path of healing and connection. Together, we will walk this path. You will learn the true nature of Voodoo, far from the shadows of Hollywood myths. You will understand what a binding spell truly is—not a cage, but a bridge. I will guide you through the sacred preparations of spirit and space, and I will share with you a gentle, powerful ritual to reopen the channels of love and communication.
This is a journey of reconciliation, both with your lost love and with yourself. Let us begin.
Understanding the Heart of Voodoo: More Than Myths and Movies
Before we can speak of mending a heart, we must first clear the air of fear and misinformation. The word “Voodoo” often conjures images of dark magic, curses, and dolls pierced with pins. In my experience, these are the shadows cast by ignorance and sensationalism, having little to do with the vibrant, life-affirming spiritual practice known as Vodou.
Debunking the Harmful Stereotypes
Let me be clear: authentic Vodou is not evil. It is a complex and beautiful Afro-Caribbean religion, born from the resilience of my ancestors who were brought to these shores. It is a system of healing, community, and connection to the divine. The energy we work with, the force of spirit, is in itself amoral—like fire, it can be used to warm a home or to cause destruction. A true practitioner, a houngan or mambo, is guided by a strict ethical code and a deep respect for life. The idea of “voodoo dolls” used for harm is a Western invention, created for movies and tourist shops. In reality, our practice is about empowering the self and finding the sacred within, not taking power over another.
The Lwa, Bondye, and the Flow of Spirit
At the heart of Vodou is a belief in one supreme creator God, whom we call Bondye. This name comes from the French “Bon Dieu,” meaning “Good God”. Bondye is the source of all things, but is considered too vast and distant to be involved in our daily lives.
To bridge this distance, we connect with the Lwa. The Lwa are the spirits, the intermediaries between the human and divine realms. You might think of them as the archangels and saints of other traditions. Each Lwa governs a specific aspect of life—Erzulie Freda is the spirit of love, Papa Legba guards the crossroads between worlds, Ogou is a warrior who brings strength and removes obstacles. When we perform a ritual, we are not conducting a “dark rite,” but opening a channel of communication—a ceremony of connection and togetherness, often filled with song, dance, and offerings to honor and call upon these powerful allies. A genuine spell caster has spent years, often a lifetime, building a deep, respectful relationship with these spirits.
What Are Binding Love Spells for an Ex-Lover? The True Nature of Connection
Now that you understand the sacred ground upon which we walk, let us speak of the work itself. The term “binding” can sound forceful, and that is a fair concern. But in the context of authentic Voodoo, we must redefine it.
A true Voodoo binding spell is not about forcing someone against their will. It is not a magical prison that creates a “love-crazed zombie”. To do so would be a gross violation of spirit and would surely bring negative consequences upon the caster.
Instead, think of it this way: when two people share a deep love, they create energetic threads between their souls. A breakup, especially a painful one, does not sever these threads; it tangles them, frays them, and covers them in the dust of anger, misunderstanding, and hurt.
A binding love spell is a ritual of spiritual repair. Its purpose is to:
Cleanse the negative energy that has accumulated around your connection.
Heal the emotional wounds in both your heart and theirs.
Gently strengthen and illuminate the positive, loving threads that still exist between you.
In my experience, a true binding spell does not create a cage; it rebuilds a bridge. It works to enhance the existing feelings and connections, reminding your ex-lover’s soul of the love you once shared and clearing the path for them to return of their own free will. We are simply awakening a connection that is already there, dormant under the weight of pain.
Preparing Your Spirit and Space: The Foundation of Powerful Spellwork
The success of any spiritual work depends less on the tools and more on the heart of the person performing it. Before you light a single candle, you must first prepare your own spirit. The universe responds to clarity, not to chaos.
The Power of Pure Intention
The most critical ingredient in any ritual is your intention. You must approach this work with a singular, pure focus, free from the turbulent emotions that can poison a spell. Desperation, jealousy, anger, or a desire for revenge will block the flow of energy and can cause the spell to fail or backfire.
Take time to sit in quiet reflection. Meditate, or write in a journal. Ask yourself these questions with total honesty:
Why do I truly want my ex-lover back? Is it from a place of genuine love, or from loneliness and fear?
Am I seeking to control them, or am I seeking to heal our connection?
Am I willing to forgive their part in our separation? Am I willing to take responsibility for my own?
What does a healthy, reconciled relationship look like to me?
Your intention must be clear: “I wish to heal the bond between us and create an opportunity for a loving, willing reconciliation for the highest good of all involved.” This intention respects free will and focuses on healing, which is where true power lies.
Creating Your Sacred Altar
You do not need an elaborate temple. Your sacred space can be a small, clean table or even a shelf in your closet. The key is that it is a dedicated, distraction-free environment where you will not be disturbed.
Cleanse the Space: Before you begin, physically clean the area. Then, spiritually cleanse it. You can do this by burning sage and letting the smoke wash over the space, ringing a bell, or simply saying a prayer to clear away any lingering negativity.
Set the Time: The waxing moon (the period from the new moon to the full moon) is an ideal time for spells of attraction and bringing things toward you. If possible, perform your ritual at this time.
Gather Your Tools: Lay out your ritual components on a clean cloth. Having everything ready allows you to remain focused once you begin.
A Gentle Voodoo Binding Spell to Reopen the Path to Your Ex-Lover (A Step-by-Step Guide)
This is a foundational ritual, rooted in the gentle yet powerful traditions of Voodoo. It is a safe spell for a beginner to perform, designed to sweeten your ex-lover’s heart and reopen the lines of communication. For situations involving deep-seated anger, third parties, or long periods of separation, I strongly advise seeking the guidance of an experienced practitioner like myself.
Your Ritual Toolkit
| Ingredient | Spiritual Significance |
| A small jar of honey | To sweeten their feelings and memories of you, promoting harmony. |
| One pink or red candle | To invoke the energies of love, romance, and passion. |
| A photograph of your ex-lover | To create a direct, tangible energetic link to their spirit. |
| A photograph of yourself (smiling) | To project your own loving and positive energy into the spell. |
| A small piece of paper and a pen | To write your intention and bind your names together. |
| A personal item (optional) | A strand of their hair, a button from their shirt, or anything they owned strengthens the link. |
The Ritual Steps
Prepare Your Intention: On the piece of paper, write your ex-lover’s full name three times. Turn the paper 90 degrees and write your own full name three times, so that your names intersect and overlap. This physically symbolizes your lives rejoining. On the back, write your clear intention:
“May our hearts be healed. May you think of me with sweetness and love. May the path be opened for you to return to me.”
Anoint the Candle: If you have any love-drawing oils like rose or jasmine, you can anoint the candle. If not, simply hold the candle in your hands, close your eyes, and pour all your loving energy and intention into it.
Assemble the Jar: Open the jar of honey. Fold the paper with your names and intention toward you, making it small enough to fit inside. Place it in the honey. Now, take the two photographs and place them face-to-face, so your smiling faces are “kissing.” Gently push the photos into the honey jar as well. If you have a personal item, add it now.
Light the Flame: Place the sealed honey jar on your altar. Place the red or pink candle securely on top of the lid. Light the candle. As you watch the flame, focus all your energy on the outcome you desire. Visualize your ex-lover’s face softening. Imagine them smiling as they remember a happy time you shared. See them picking up their phone to contact you.
Speak Your Invocation: With your eyes on the flame, speak from your heart. You can say something simple and powerful, such as: “With this flame, I ignite the love that remains. With this honey, I sweeten your heart to mine. Spirit of love, hear my plea. Open the way for (Ex’s Name) to return to me. As I will it, so it shall be.”
Complete the Work: Allow the candle to burn for at least an hour while you meditate on your desire. You do not need to let it burn all the way down in one session. You can snuff it out (never blow it out, as that dismisses the spirits) and relight it each day for seven days, repeating the invocation. After the final burning, keep the honey jar in a dark, private place, like the back of your closet.
Addressing a Deeper Wound: The Stop Cheating Partner Spell for Fidelity
Sometimes, the reason for a separation is the painful wound of infidelity. If this is your story, a binding spell alone is not enough. You must also perform work to heal the trust and ensure that, upon their return, their eyes will not wander again. A stop cheating partner spell is a ritual of loyalty and fidelity.
What I have found is that this work is not about creating a puppet, but about reinforcing the sacredness of the commitment you wish to rebuild. It is about making the energetic bond between you two so fulfilling that the temptation of others simply fades away.
This ritual should be performed after your binding spell has had time to work and you feel the connection beginning to mend.
You will need two white candles (representing you and your partner) and a length of red ribbon or thread.
Carve the Candles: On one candle, carefully carve your name. On the other hand, carve your partner’s name.
The First Day: Place the two candles on your altar about one foot apart. Light them both. As they burn, visualize a bond of pure, faithful love surrounding you both. Imagine all outside temptations dissolving into nothing. After about 15 minutes, snuff the candles.
The Following Days: Each day for the next seven days, move the candles slightly closer together. Each time you light them, repeat your visualization of unshakeable loyalty.
The Final Day: On the final day, the candles should be touching side-by-side. Light them one last time. As they burn, take the red ribbon and loosely tie it around both candles, physically binding them together. Say:
“What spirit has bound, let no one break. Your heart is mine, for goodness’ sake. Your eyes for me, your love is true. Bound to me, as I am to you.”
Allow the candles to burn down completely (in a safe, fireproof container). The remaining wax and ribbon can be wrapped in a cloth and buried on your property to ground the spell’s energy.
The Sacred Trust: Ethical Considerations and the Law of Free Will
I must speak plainly on this, for it is the most important lesson I can offer you. Authentic Voodoo respects free will. The spells I have shared with you are designed to influence, to persuade, to heal, and to open doors. They are not designed to dominate.
To cast a spell with the intent to force someone to love you is a dangerous and unethical act. It is a spiritual violation. Such magic, born of desperation and control, almost always unravels in painful and chaotic ways. Love that is not freely given is not love at all; it is an illusion, and one that requires constant, draining energy to maintain.
Before you undertake any spell, ask yourself the question I ask all my clients: “How would you feel if you discovered someone had cast this spell on you without your knowledge?”. Your answer will tell you if your heart is in the right place. Our goal is to facilitate the natural unfolding of a pre-existing connection, not to bend another’s will to our own. This is the path of wisdom and power.
Frequently Asked Questions about Voodoo Love Spells
How long do binding love spells take to work? Magic is not like flipping a switch. It is like planting a seed. It needs time to take root in the spiritual world and manifest in the physical. Results can begin to show in a few days, a few weeks, or sometimes even a few months. Patience and a positive, trusting attitude are essential. Desperation blocks the energy.
Are there signs a binding spell is working? Yes, the signs are often subtle at first. You might have vivid dreams of them. You might hear “your song” in an unexpected place. A mutual friend might mention them out of the blue. They may suddenly unblock you on social media or reach out with a simple, unexpected text. Pay attention to these small whispers from the universe.
Can a love spell backfire? Absolutely. A spell can backfire if it is cast with negative or controlling intent, if the caster is filled with desperation, or if it is performed incorrectly by someone inexperienced. This is why the purity of your intention is paramount and why complex situations should be handled by a professional.
What if my ex is with someone else? This is a complex and delicate situation. It involves navigating the energy of a third person, which requires great skill and care. Voodoo is very potent for removing obstacles, but this kind of work is not for beginners. Attempting to break up another relationship can have serious karmic consequences if not done correctly and for the right reasons. In this case, I urge you to seek professional guidance.
