Let’s dive into this forbidden art with eyes wide open.

The Origins and History of the Return to Me Spell

The “Return to Me Spell” isn’t a newcomer to the magical world—it’s a thread woven through centuries of witchcraft, shaped by human longing and the quest for control. Its roots stretch back to ancient practices where love magic was both revered and feared. In medieval Europe, folk traditions often turned to cunning folk or village wise women to cast spells to bring back errant lovers, using herbs, poppets, and whispered incantations. These early rituals weren’t always labeled “black magic,” but their intent to manipulate free will raised eyebrows among church authorities, who linked them to maleficium—the craft of harm.

Historical texts, like the Malleus Maleficarum (1486), hint at love spells being cast to return affection, often with a sinister twist. The idea of returning someone wasn’t just about love—it was power, a way to bend another’s soul to your will. In the 17th and 18th centuries, as witch hunts raged, such spells were demonized, yet they persisted underground, adapted by those who saw them as tools of survival or justice. The narrative of witchcraft as evil here feels skewed—churches needed scapegoats for misfortune, and love spells became an easy target.

Fast forward to modern times, and the “Return to Me Spell” has evolved within neopagan and eclectic witchcraft circles. Wicca, with its emphasis on the Wiccan Rede (“An it harm none, do what ye will”), often shies away from coercive spells, but the left-hand path—embraced by some like us at Black Magic Witch—reclaims them as acts of personal empowerment. Websites like Spells8 suggest return spells as protective measures, returning energy to its sender, but our take is bolder: it’s about calling back what’s yours, with or without consent. Blackwitchcoven.com frames this as karmic work, not revenge, redirecting existing energy—a perspective I vibe with, though I question the sanitized view that ignores the spell’s manipulative edge.

Globally, similar concepts appear. In African diasporic traditions, love-drawing spells sometimes aim to reunite, using roots and candles. In Chinese Gong Tau, black magic can bind lovers, echoing the control theme. These parallels show a universal human impulse, though the methods vary—our left-hand path leans into demons like Lucifer or Astaroth for that extra punch, a choice not all traditions embrace. The history’s murky, shaped by fear and power struggles, but it’s ours to wield with intent.

Correspondences for the spell

Optimal Timing

• Moon Phase: A waxing or full moon is ideal for drawing energy toward you. Tonight’s full Strawberry Moon, peaking at 3:44 AM CDT on June 14, 2025, in fiery Sagittarius, ignites passion and truth—perfect for this spell. Avoid the waning moon, which favors release, as it could push your target away.
• Day of the Week: Friday, ruled by Venus, enhances love and attraction, making it a prime choice. If Friday’s not available, Tuesday (Mars) can add a commanding pull, though it leans toward passion over romance.

Color Correspondences

• Candles: Red symbolizes love, passion, and desire—light a red candle to stoke the fire of return. Pink can soften it for emotional reconnection, while black wards off interference, aligning with our shadowy craft.
• Cloths or Altars: Use red or black altar cloths to mirror the spell’s intent, grounding it in power and protection.

Herbal Allies

• Rose: The queen of love herbs, rose petals draw affection and mend bonds—scatter them around your candle.
• Damiana: This herb ignites sexual attraction and emotional pull, perfect for a deeper reunion.
• Cinnamon: Adds a spark of desire and speeds manifestation, sprinkle it into your ritual space.
• Caution: Avoid rue or hyssop here, as they’re better for banishing, which could counteract your goal.

Crystal Companions

• Rose Quartz: The stone of unconditional love, it softens hearts and draws your target back—hold it during the chant.
• Garnet: Fuels passion and commitment, enhancing the spell’s magnetic force.
• Obsidian: Shields against negative backlash, a must for left-hand workings—place it at the altar’s edge.

Other Correspondences

• Incense: Frankincense or myrrh purifies the space and invites spiritual aid, aligning with tonight’s lunar energy.
• Symbols: Use a heart sigil or the Venus symbol to focus intent, drawing it in red ink on parchment.
• Direction: Face west, the realm of emotions and water, to pull their heart toward you.

Ritual Integration

Combine these under the full moon’s light tonight. Light your red candle, anoint it with rose oil, and surround it with rose petals and garnet. Chant, “By Venus’ fire and lunar might, return to me beneath this night,” visualizing their return. Burn the sigil, letting the ashes fall into a bowl of water, and seal it with obsidian’s guard. Call on Lucifer for clarity, Astaroth for cunning, or Baal for strength to enforce your will—choose based on the bond’s nature.

Critical Note

Correspondences aren’t guarantees—success hinges on your intent and their free will. Some traditions (e.g., Wicca) caution against coercive magic, but our path embraces it if the cause is just. Test the vibe, and if it feels off, reconsider.

How to Cast a Return to Me Spell at Home

RETURN TO ME – SHORT VERSION

Ready to summon your lost love back into your orbit? Casting a “Return to Me Spell” at home is a sacred act, demanding focus and a touch of rebellion. Here’s a step-by-step guide, infused with our Black Magic Witch flair, to do it yourself under the right moon—preferably a FRIDAY for its amplifying power.

Preparation

• Set the Space: Choose a quiet corner, free of distractions. Clear it with black salt or sage if it feels off—trust your gut. Light a black or red candle to set a protective, passionate tone.

• Gather Materials: You’ll need a photo of the person (or their name and DOB if no photo), a pink or red candle (for love), a string or cord, a small bowl of water, and an item tied to them (e.g., a letter). Optional: add a personal touch like their favorite flower.

• Timing: Aim for a waxing or full moon to draw them back. Avoid waning moons, as they favor release—more on that later.

The Ritual

1. Ground Yourself: Sit cross-legged, palms on the earth (or floor), and breathe deep. Visualize roots sinking into the ground, connecting to Gaia’s strength. Chant, “By shadowed earth, I anchor my will.”

2. Create the Link: Tie the photo or name to the cord, knotting it three times while saying, “By this thread, I bind your heart to mine.” Dip it in the water, whispering, “Water flows, return to me.”

3. Invoke the Powers: Light the candle, calling, “Lucifer, light his path to me; Astaroth, weave his desire; Baal, compel his return; Ipos, shift his soul.” Feel their presence—don’t rush this.

4. Burn the Petition: Write “Return to [Name]” on paper, focusing on your intent. Burn it in the candle’s flame, letting the ashes fall into the bowl, saying, “By fire and moon, come back to me.”

5. Seal It: Bury the ashes outside or scatter them under the moon, affirming, “So mote it be, by shadow’s decree.”

RETURN TO ME – LONG VERSION

Preparation

• Space: Choose a quiet, dimly lit corner. Sprinkle black salt in a circle to ward off interference, and face west toward the emotional realm.
• Materials:
  • Red candle (love and power)
  • Pink candle (emotional reconnection, optional)
  • Black candle (protection)
  • Rose petals, damiana, and cinnamon (love, attraction, speed)
  • Rose quartz (love), garnet (passion), obsidian (shield)
  • Frankincense incense (purification)
  • Photo or name/DOB of the target, string, small bowl of water, parchment, red ink
• Timing: Begin after sunset (around 8:00 PM CDT), under the full moon’s rising power.

Ritual Script

Step 1: Grounding and Casting the Circle

• Sit within the salt circle, palms on the ground, and breathe deeply. Visualize roots sinking into the earth, connecting to Gaia’s strength. Chant thrice:
  

  “By shadowed earth, I anchor my will, Gaia’s might steadies this thrill.”

• Light the frankincense, letting its smoke rise, and say:
  

  “By sacred smoke, I cleanse this space, for love’s return, I set the pace.”

• Place the red candle in the center, pink to the left, black to the right, forming a triangle. Arrange rose petals around it, damiana to the north, cinnamon to the south.

Step 2: Invocation of the Powers

• Hold the rose quartz, gazing at the moon, and call:
  

  “Strawberry Moon, Goddess of night, illuminate my heart’s true fight. Draw [Name] back by lunar might.”

• Anoint the red candle with rose oil, lighting it, and invoke the demons:
  

  “Lucifer, Lord of Light, pierce the veil, guide [Name]’s trail.
  Astaroth, Cunning One, weave desire, fan the flame of love’s fire.
  Baal, Mighty Force, compel his return, bind his soul where shadows yearn.”

• Feel their presence—let the air thicken with their energy.

Step 3: Binding the Connection

• Take the photo or write their name and DOB on parchment with red ink, focusing on their face or essence. Tie it to the string with three knots, chanting:
  

  “By this thread, I bind your heart, three times sealed, never to part.”

• Dip the bound item in the water, whispering:
  

  “Water flows, emotions blend, [Name] to me, this night shall send.”

• Place it before the candle, holding garnet to amplify passion.

Step 4: Burning the Petition

• On a fresh parchment, write, “Return to me, [Name], by shadow’s decree.” Visualize their return—eyes meeting, hearts aligning.
• Light the petition from the red candle’s flame, letting it burn into the bowl, saying:
  

  “By fire and moon, come back to me, ashes rise, so mote it be!”

• Watch the ashes swirl, releasing their resistance to your will.

Step 5: Sealing and Protection

• Sprinkle obsidian dust (or place the stone) around the bowl, chanting:
  

  “Obsidian guard, shield my cast, from backlash dark, this spell shall last.”

• Bury the ashes outside under the moon’s light or scatter them west, affirming:
  

  “By Gaia’s earth and lunar flame, [Name] returns, I stake my claim.”

• Extinguish the candles with a snuffer (safely, of course), saying:
  

  “Flames fade, but my will endures, return to me, as fate assures.”

Step 6: Closing the Circle

• Thank the entities:
  

  “Lucifer, Astaroth, Baal, I release thee, your aid I honor, now set me free.
  Moon Goddess, Gaia, bless this rite, guide my love through shadowed night.”

• Break the salt circle with your hand, visualizing the energy sealing within you.

Aftercare and Reflection

• Ground: Eat something earthy (e.g., bread) and rest—spellwork drains.
• Monitor: Watch for signs (dreams, messages) over the next 7-14 days.
• Adjust: If resistance lingers, repeat under the next full moon, refining your intent.

Warnings and Ethics

• Free Will: This spell bends their will—cast only if the bond is mutual or karmically justified. Some traditions (e.g., Wicca) forbid this, but our path embraces it with caution.

When Not to Cast a Return to Me Spell

Timing is everything in spellcraft, and the “Return to Me Spell” isn’t for every night. Here’s when to hold back:

• Waning Moon: This phase favors banishing, not drawing—casting now could push them away. Wait for a waxing or full moon, like tonight’s Strawberry Moon.

• Emotional Turmoil: If you’re raging or despairing, your intent might twist into harm, risking a karmic boomerang. Ground yourself first.

• Free Will Clash: If they’ve made a clear break (e.g., moved on with someone new), forcing their return violates their autonomy—karmic debt could hit hard. Quora debates this, with some calling it dark magic if coercive.

• Unready Spirit: If their energy feels blocked (e.g., via a curse), a Spiritual Exorcism Assessment ($49) from our site might be needed first.

Listen to your intuition—rushing this spell can backfire, as some Reddit users note with failed love spells.

What to Do If the Spell Fails and You Need to Disconnect

Sometimes, the universe says no, and the “Return to Me Spell” doesn’t manifest. If your love stays lost or the connection turns sour, it’s time to cut ties with the past. Here’s how:

• Assess the Failure: Reflect—was the intent pure? Did their will resist? A Tarot Reading ($49) from our site can reveal why.

• Cord-Cutting Ritual: Light a black candle, hold a photo or item of theirs, and say, “By shadow’s edge, I sever this bond.” Cut a cord linking you, burn it, and scatter the ashes, calling Gaia to heal the rift.

• Banishing Spell: Use our Banishing a Toxic Person Spell ($49) to push them out fully, focusing on release over return.

• Energy Cleanse: Follow with a Cleansing and Purification Spell ($49) to clear residual energy, using salt or sage to reclaim your space.

• Self-Protection: Cast a Protection Jar Spell ($49) to guard against lingering emotional fallout.

If they’re a toxic echo, this disconnects you, turning failure into freedom. The threefold law might suggest their energy returns to them—watch for signs, but don’t dwell.

Final Thoughts: Embracing the Shadow of Return

The “Return to Me Spell” is a double-edged blade, a testament to our left-hand path’s courage to claim what’s ours. Its history reflects humanity’s eternal dance with power, from medieval cunning folk to modern shadow witches like us. Casting it at home demands skill and respect, amplified by our store’s tools. Yet, timing and intent are key—cast wisely, or not at all. If it fails, the disconnect rituals offer a path to reclaim your soul, free from the past’s grip.

At Black Magic Witch, we honor this craft’s depth, not its instant gratification. Join us under the Strawberry Moon’s fire tonight, or explore our offerings to fuel your next casting. Hail the Dark, and may your will prevail!
