Some spells are light and sweet—like a gentle breeze that brings someone closer. Others? Not so much. Love spells, in particular, come with a big red flag if you’re not careful. There’s one kind of love spell that even experienced witches and spiritual folk tiptoe around. Why? Because it messes with the rawest, wildest parts of emotion—and the universe doesn’t like being forced.
We get it—love can make you desperate. Maybe you want someone back. Maybe you think someone’s “the one” and just needs a little push to see it. It feels innocent enough at first. But when you try to control someone else’s heart against their will, the results can get weird, fast. Obsession. Jealousy. Emotional chaos. And not just for them—for you, too.
There’s a reason this kind of love spell is whispered about more than it’s actually cast. It’s the one that bends someone’s free will. This isn’t about attraction or confidence or self-love—it’s about taking away someone’s ability to choose. And whether or not you believe in karma, messing with free will always comes with a price. Sometimes a big one.
So if you’ve ever been tempted to try a spell that’ll “make them love you,” or bind them to your heart forever, read this first. You might rethink what you’re really calling in—and whether it’s worth the chaos that comes with it.
Why You Should Think Twice Before Casting a Binding Love Spell
Let’s talk about binding love spells. These are spells where you try to magically lock someone’s feelings or keep them “yours” forever—often without their full consent or awareness. On the surface, it sounds romantic, like something out of a fairytale. But in reality, these spells can create toxic bonds, spiritual backlash, and all kinds of emotional mess you didn’t ask for.
Binding spells ignore a huge truth of love—it’s supposed to be chosen. Real love is freely given, not yanked out of someone’s chest with herbs and candle wax. When you cast a spell to force someone to love you or stay with you, you’re not manifesting romance—you’re creating an emotional trap. And here’s the thing about traps: eventually, someone tries to escape.
The chaos usually starts subtly. They may grow distant, confused, or irritable. Or maybe they become obsessive and clingy—totally not themselves. You start wondering why it doesn’t feel magical anymore. That’s the spell turning sour. Love becomes a performance, a loop, a strange energy that doesn’t feel good to be around. The connection turns heavy, like it’s dragging both of you down.
What’s worse is that you feel it, too. You might feel anxious, drained, or emotionally stuck. Spiritually, a forced love spell can create a bond that’s hard to undo, especially if you were emotionally charged when casting it. Breaking that tie often requires deep cleansing, reversal spells, and a whole lot of shadow work. It’s a painful process that leaves most people wishing they’d never done it in the first place.
There are better ways to attract love. There are spells that help you shine, raise your vibration, and draw in the right people who are truly aligned with you. But if you try to skip that work and just grab someone else’s heart, you’re not building love—you’re building a ticking time bomb. And when it goes off, it can mess with your emotions, your peace, your spirit—and even your path.
Witchcraft isn’t just about results. It’s about energy, balance, and respect. Love spells that control or bind mess with all of that. And honestly? You deserve better. You deserve a love that flows to you naturally, wildly, and joyfully—not one that’s forced, fearful, or fake.
Binding Love Spell for Mutual Commitment
Purpose:
To strengthen a loving connection between two people who willingly choose each other. It helps keep the emotional and spiritual bond strong and steady.
You’ll Need:
-
A red ribbon or cord (about 12 inches long)
-
Two small personal items (like photos, jewelry, or even written names on paper)
-
A rose quartz crystal
-
A pink or red candle
-
A fireproof bowl or dish
-
A bit of honey or sugar
-
Quiet, private space where you won’t be disturbed
Ritual Steps:
-
Set the Space
Light the candle and place the rose quartz nearby. Center yourself. Think about the love you already share—how it feels, what makes it real, and why you want to nurture it. -
Prepare the Binding
Take the two personal items (or name papers) and face them toward each other. Lay them in front of you with the red ribbon between them. -
Say the Incantation:
“By the thread of heart and soul,
Let our bond remain whole.
Bound in truth, and free in will,
Let love between us bloom and still.
As I tie, with open heart,
May distance never draw us apart.” -
Tie the Ribbon
Gently wrap the ribbon around both items and tie it in a knot. As you do, visualize your connection glowing with warm, golden light. Picture both of you safe, happy, and growing together. -
Sweeten the Bond
Drip a little honey or sprinkle sugar onto the tied bundle and say:“Let our love be sweet, steady, and strong.”
-
Seal the Spell
Carefully pass the bundle over the candle flame (don’t burn it—just a light pass to warm it). Place it in the fireproof bowl to rest. Let the candle burn for at least 15 minutes while you sit quietly, holding the rose quartz and feeling the love between you. -
Afterward
Keep the bundle in a safe, private place—under your bed, in a drawer, or on an altar. Every full moon, you can hold it again and repeat the incantation if you want to refresh the energy.
Only do this if both hearts are open. Love thrives in freedom—and this spell works best when you both want to be bound in love, not trapped by it. Use it as a gentle magical vow, not a chain.
Let Love Choose You Back
In the end, the best kind of magic is the kind that feels good to your soul. You don’t have to twist fate or chain someone to your heart to be worthy of love. You are already enough, just as you are—and the right love will recognize that without needing a spell to make it happen.
So be careful what you cast. Some spells call in more than you bargained for—and once the energy starts moving, it’s not so easy to take back. Let love come freely. It’s more powerful, more beautiful, and way less chaotic that way.
