Origin & Lore

True Love is a named love oil in the tradition of hoodoo and folk-magick condition oils. Its focus is a pure, loyal, lasting love rather than a passing attraction, and it can be worked either to draw a new partner or to renew warmth in a relationship you already have.

Honey has sweetened love spells for as long as there have been love spells, and in hoodoo a jar of it is still the classic way to make someone’s heart turn kindly toward you.

Honey jar and sugar bowl spells are among the best documented works in African American hoodoo: a petition is sealed in something sweet so that the person named becomes sweet toward the worker. True Love oil belongs to the family of love condition oils that spiritual-supply houses sold alongside them through the twentieth century.
