Perfect Mate oil

How to Use It

Witchcraft & Folk Magick

• Write the qualities you want in a partner on a slip of paper, anoint the four corners and keep it under your pillow.
• Dress a pink candle and burn it on a Friday, the day of Venus.
• Wear a single drop at the throat or wrists before social events.

Hoodoo & Rootwork

• Anoint a red flannel mojo bag holding rose petals, a pair of Adam and Eve roots or a small lodestone.
• Add a few drops to a bath with rose petals and pour the water over your head, letting yourself air dry.
• Dress a pink figure candle that matches your own gender and set a second, undressed one at a distance to stand for the partner yet to come.

A Simple Working

• On a Friday evening, take a pink chime candle and a square of parchment.
• Write a list of the qualities you want in a partner, specific and honest.
• Anoint the corners of the paper and dress the candle with Perfect Mate oil from base to wick, drawing toward you.
• Set the candle on the folded paper and light it.
• Read your list aloud once while the candle burns.
• When it has burned out, keep the paper in your bedside drawer until the working has had time to settle.

Origin & Lore

Perfect Mate is a named condition oil in the hoodoo style, made for open-ended love drawing rather than targeting a specific person. It is traditionally used when you know what you want in a partner but have not yet met them.

Some of the oldest love charms are not about one named person at all: they ask for the right one, whoever that turns out to be.

Partner-drawing formulas are part of the large hoodoo love category that spiritual-supply catalogues sold from the 1920s and 30s: Come to Me, Love Me, Attraction and their many cousins. Their names were practical and descriptive, so the buyer knew exactly which condition the oil was made for.
