Origin & Lore

Love Me belongs to the family of named love-drawing oils from the hoodoo and spiritual-supply tradition. It is used when the person you want is distant, hesitant or hard to reach. It is worked on figure candles, name papers and personal items of the target.

Love Me is one of the oldest and plainest names in hoodoo love work: two words, a whole request.

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 Me, Come to Me and Follow Me Boy were among the best-known love formulas, and writing a lover’s name crossed with your own is one of the most commonly recorded love workings in Southern conjure.
