Origin & Lore

Bewitching oil is a love and binding condition oil in the folk-magick and hoodoo tradition. It is worked to bind the one you love to you in love and affection, to strengthen other love spells and to win the heart of the person you desire above all others.

Bewitching was once the very word for what a love spell does: to cast a charm on someone so they cannot look away.

English writers used “bewitch” for love charms as far back as the medieval period, and early modern witch trials often included accusations of bewitching a person into love. Hoodoo’s love-binding formulas, sold under names such as Bewitching, Stay With Me and Lavender Love Drops, carry on that old intention.
