Origin & Lore
Fire of Love belongs to the family of named love and passion oils from the hoodoo and spiritual-supply tradition. It is used to ignite a new romance, rekindle a cooling relationship and turn affection into desire. It is worked on red candles, the body and the bedroom.
Love oils come in two temperatures: those that soothe and those that burn. Fire of Love is the second kind.
In the early twentieth century, spiritual-supply houses in cities such as Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans sold named condition oils by mail order, each label promising help with one specific need. Love and passion oils were the backbone of that trade, sold with names promising fire, flame and heat to customers hoping to stir up a romance.
Did You Know?
The image of love as a fire running under the skin goes back at least to ancient Greek lyric poetry of the sixth century BCE.
