Origin & Lore

Dove’s Blood is a long-standing name in the occult trade, given to love oils and to the red ink used to write talismans and love seals. The name is symbolic, tying the formula to the dove’s ancient role as a bird of love and peace. It is used for affection, friendship, harmony and drawing a desired outcome.

The dove has been a bird of love for as long as people have written about love, and its blood a symbol of devotion in old talismanic recipes.

Dove’s Blood ink appears in nineteenth- and twentieth-century occult manuals for writing love talismans, and the name passed into the oil trade. The dove itself is the bird of Aphrodite in Greek myth and Venus in Roman, which explains why the formula is tied to love and peace.
