Love powder incense

Love incense is the gentlest of the drawing formulas: it is used to open the door rather than drag someone through it.

Origin & Traditional Use

Love powder incense is a general-purpose love condition formula from the hoodoo and spiritual supply tradition. It is used for attracting romance in general, for sweetening an existing partner, and for self-love and glamour work, and it burns on its own without charcoal.
