Sometimes attraction just isn’t enough. You want more than stolen glances, quick smiles, or casual conversations—you want their thoughts wrapped around you like a spell that never fades. This is where witchy love magick comes in. It’s not just about making someone notice you; it’s about stirring something deep inside them that lingers long after you’ve walked away. Obsession magick is one of the oldest and most whispered-about practices because it doesn’t just play with attraction—it bends desire until it can’t help but circle back to you.
But obsession magick isn’t something to play with lightly. It’s strong, sticky, and powerful. Once you set it in motion, it’s hard to undo, so it should only be used if you’re ready for the weight of someone’s constant thoughts and feelings clinging to your energy. Think of it as planting roots in someone’s heart—the kind that dig deep and don’t let go easily. It’s intoxicating, but also demanding, so you need to be sure you truly want this connection.
These kinds of spells aren’t about soft romance or fleeting passion. They are about pulling someone’s spirit closer, making your energy the flame their thoughts can’t stop circling. Some witches call it binding desire, others call it tethering, but at its core it’s about weaving yourself into the very fabric of another person’s mind. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you feel brave enough, you’ll find this kind of magick makes ordinary love look pale by comparison.
So if you’ve ever wanted to become unforgettable—if you’ve ever wanted someone to think of you day and night, to crave your presence like water in the desert—this guide is for you. Together, we’ll walk through witchy practices that stir obsession, from subtle charms to full-blown rituals, and by the end you’ll know exactly how to weave the kind of spell that keeps someone completely under your spell.
The Witchy Way to Make Someone Obsess Over You
The Energy of Obsession
Obsession is different from simple attraction. Attraction can fade, but obsession roots itself in the mind and spirit. When you cast spells to draw obsession, you’re calling on the kind of energy that weaves through someone’s thoughts, replaying your name and face again and again. It’s powerful, and if done correctly, it can become a kind of invisible tether.
Every witch knows that the first step in obsession magick is intention. You must be crystal clear on what you want. Are you looking for constant attention? Passionate desire? Or for someone to feel unable to let you go? The way you set your intention shapes how the energy manifests. Like planting a seed, the clarity of your desire determines how strong the roots of obsession grow.
This kind of energy can be intoxicating, not only for them but also for you. When someone’s every thought circles back to you, it creates a strong feedback loop—you feel more magnetic, more powerful, and more desired. But remember, energy doesn’t vanish. The deeper you pull them in, the more entangled you become in their emotions as well.
Think of obsession magick as weaving threads between your spirit and theirs. Every word, every focus of your ritual, is another stitch in the invisible cord binding you together. Once woven tightly, it’s not so simple to unravel.
Tools and Ingredients for Obsession Spells
Magick always responds well to tools that amplify energy. For obsession magick, red, black, and pink candles are classic—red for passion, black for binding, and pink for love. A photo of your target, a personal item like hair, or even something they’ve touched recently can strengthen the spell by tying your energy directly to theirs.
Herbs and oils also play a strong role. Rose, damiana, and cinnamon fuel desire. Patchouli and jasmine draw attention and lust. Cloves, vanilla, and honey sweeten the bond while tightening the pull. Many witches create obsession oils by blending these herbs with carrier oils, anointing candles or charm objects to lock in the energy.
Crystals are another layer of power. Garnet and obsidian are especially potent for binding obsession. Rose quartz can soften the energy so it feels less like a chain and more like a craving. Some witches even wear these crystals as jewelry during spellwork, letting the stone pulse with their intention.
When gathering tools, always remember: less is more if the intention is sharp. Even a single red candle dressed with oil and whispered over with fire can be enough to plant the seed of obsession. The tools are amplifiers—but you are always the true source.
The Candle Flame Obsession Spell
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to stir obsession is through a candle flame ritual. You’ll need a red candle, a photo or name of your target, and a small slip of paper with your intention written clearly.
Carve your target’s name into the candle, then anoint it with obsession oil (or a blend of cinnamon and honey if you don’t have oils). Place the photo or name slip beneath the candle holder. Light the flame and hold your focus steady, whispering words that tie your energy to theirs—such as, “Your thoughts circle me, your heart pulls toward me, your desire burns only for me.”
Sit with the flame for as long as you can, imagining their mind wrapping tighter and tighter around your presence. Visualize their eyes unable to turn away, their thoughts constantly drifting back to you. When the candle has burned down, keep the remains tucked safely in a hidden spot where no one else can touch them.
This spell is simple, but its fire is strong. Flame feeds passion, and each flicker whispers your name into the unseen. Done consistently over days or weeks, it turns a spark of desire into something consuming.
Obsession Jar Spell
Jar spells are perfect for binding energy and keeping it sealed tightly. For this, you’ll need a small glass jar, red string or ribbon, honey, and a personal taglock (photo, hair, or name). Add herbs of desire—cinnamon, damiana, rose petals—and pour honey over everything to trap the sweetness and the stickiness of obsession.
Wrap the jar with the red string while chanting your intention. Each knot or wrap is another tie that binds their thoughts to you. Speak your words with confidence and repetition, making the binding stronger each time.
Once sealed, keep the jar somewhere private, and shake it whenever you want to stir their feelings back up. The honey keeps them stuck, the herbs fuel their desire, and the string tightens the pull around their spirit.
Jar spells are especially effective because they create a physical container for your intention. It’s not just a whisper into the air—it’s sealed, locked, and growing stronger as time goes on.
The Mirror Obsession Charm
Mirrors are gateways of reflection and power, perfect for obsession magick. For this charm, you’ll need a small handheld mirror. Hold it under moonlight and whisper your desire into it: “When you see yourself, you see me. When you think of yourself, you think of me. You cannot escape my reflection.”
Every time your target looks into a mirror, your energy echoes through them. You’ve placed yourself in their reflection, making you an inseparable part of their image of themselves. It’s subtle but deeply effective—mirrors carry strong psychic ties and can leave someone haunted by your presence.
To strengthen it, carry the mirror with you, or place it in a spot where you’ll often gaze at yourself. Each time you look, imagine their thoughts being pulled toward you. This reinforces the tether and makes your image burn brighter in their mind.
Mirror charms are quiet but lingering, and because they work through self-reflection, they bind obsession at a subconscious level.
Binding Through Dreams
Dream magick is a powerful pathway for obsession, because dreams are raw, unguarded spaces where the subconscious is wide open. To enter their dreams, write your target’s name on a small piece of paper, fold it three times, and tuck it under your pillow at night. Before sleeping, whisper: “Meet me in dreams. See me in sleep. Think of me when waking.”
As you drift, imagine walking into their dreams and leaving your mark there. You may even start to notice signs—dreams of them, sudden feelings of connection, or random contact from them the next day.
To amplify, burn mugwort or lavender incense before sleep, or sip a dream tea made from the same. These herbs open the dream gates, making your journey into their subconscious easier.
Dream binding is subtle but extremely effective. Even if they don’t consciously remember the dreams, their waking mind will carry echoes of you, making them crave your presence more and more.
The Danger and Balance of Obsession Magick
Obsession spells are addictive—not just for the one being bound, but for the caster too. It’s tempting to keep tightening the cords, to make someone crave you endlessly. But beware—too much intensity can backfire, turning their obsession into jealousy, possessiveness, or even anger.
Balance is key. Use obsession magick with intention, but don’t let it overrun your life. If you create too many cords, you may feel smothered by their energy, unable to breathe without their constant pull. Sometimes the very obsession you call forth can become a cage for you both.
Many witches recommend pairing obsession spells with softer love spells, ensuring the energy is sweetened and balanced. That way, the craving is wrapped in affection instead of pure hunger. Honey, sugar, and rose petals can help with this—making the obsession feel more like infatuation than control.
Remember: power is in your hands. Use it wisely, and the results can feel intoxicating without turning toxic.
Living as the Obsession
Obsession spells don’t just live in candles and jars—they live in you. The more magnetic and mysterious you make yourself in daily life, the stronger the spell becomes. Whispered words, lingering eye contact, scents, and subtle touches—all of these feed the energy of obsession and keep it alive.
Wear your magick. Dab your pulse points with your obsession oil. Wear crystals charged with your intention. Carry yourself like the person who knows they’re unforgettable. Magick responds to confidence, and when you embody it, others feel it in their bones.
Obsession is fed by presence, but also by absence. Pull back sometimes, letting them crave your return. This pushes the tether tighter, making their thoughts circle even harder when you’re not around.
Your everyday actions can be just as spellbinding as your rituals. Become the living embodiment of what your spells are weaving, and you’ll see just how quickly obsession takes root.
The Sweet Poison of Desire
Obsession magick is powerful—it can make you unforgettable, magnetic, and deeply desired. But it’s also sticky, demanding, and hard to shake off once it takes root. If you walk this path, know that you’re playing with fire, and fire always leaves a mark. Still, when used wisely, it can bring passion and intensity into your life like nothing else can.
So take what you’ve learned here and tread carefully. Make your spells strong, but also sweet. Wrap your bindings in honey, your flames in love, and your cords in care. That way, the obsession you call forth won’t just consume—it will cradle, ignite, and pull your target closer in ways that feel irresistible.
