Origin & Lore

Love Drawing oil is one of the core condition oils of hoodoo, made for drawing love in general rather than binding a specific person. It is used to attract romance, warm up a cooling relationship and make the wearer more appealing.

Orris root, ground from iris rhizomes, was so central to old love powders that it was sometimes called Queen Elizabeth root.

Love Drawing appears in spiritual-supply catalogues from the early decades of the 20th century and remains one of the most common hoodoo formulas. It sits in a family that includes Come to Me, Love Me, Attraction and Irresistible, each with a slightly different emphasis.
