Why I Won’t Cast Love Spells That Force Love

Love magic is one of the most common things new witches ask about—and I understand why. Love is powerful. It drives stories, songs, and whole lifetimes. And when we’re heartbroken, lonely, or desperate to be noticed by someone, love spells can seem like a shortcut to getting what we want.

But I won’t help anyone cast a love spell that forces, binds, or manipulates another person’s will.

And I have very personal reasons why.

The Ethical Line

First, let’s be clear: there’s an important ethical distinction in love magic. Manifesting love into your life? Beautiful. Strengthening self-love? Essential. Opening your heart to attract the right kind of connection? Absolutely.

But targeting a specific person—especially without their knowledge or consent—and trying to bend their feelings to your will? That’s not love. That’s control.

And the fallout from that kind of magic is rarely what you think it will be.

My Teenage Mistakes

When I was a teenager, I made some reckless magical choices. My home life had been shaped by toxic, misogynistic dynamics. My emotions were chaotic. I was spiritually lost and deeply insecure. Magic became a tool I reached for without fully understanding the weight of it.

I cast three different love spells in those years. All of them had consequences I now carry with deep regret.

The first was an obsession spell on a boyfriend. I wanted him to be more devoted, more present, more mine. What followed was an escalating series of events that ultimately led to a sexual assault. Whether the spell influenced his actions or simply warped my ability to walk away from the red flags, I’ll never fully know. But I do know I opened a door that should’ve stayed shut.

The second was a lust spell cast on a family friend. I was young, curious, and entirely unequipped for the chaos that followed. Friendships were destroyed. Trust was broken beyond repair. And if I hadn’t pulled away when I did, the damage could have been even worse.

The third—perhaps the most painful—was a love spell cast on a friend I didn’t know was gay. We ended up living a lie together for nearly five years, both of us slowly falling apart under the weight of something that was never meant to be. It wasn’t love. It was survival, shame, confusion—and it left deep emotional scars on both of us.

The Hard Truth About Manipulative Magic

Magic that manipulates love doesn’t just mess with someone else’s autonomy—it messes with yours, too. It binds you to a version of reality that isn’t true. It creates illusions. It traps you in relationships that aren’t built on mutual respect or real emotional connection.

You think you’re weaving desire… but what you’re really doing is tying knots around yourself.

The Happily Ever After

Here’s the kicker: I didn’t use a single spell when I met my soul mate. No candles, no chants, no jars, no oils. Just… life. Authentic, unexpected, mutual.

And it’s everything those old spells could never have given me.

The Magic I Will Share

If you’re looking to welcome love into your life, I’m absolutely here for that. I’ll happily guide you through:

  • Self-love and confidence spells

  • Attraction spells that call in the right kind of energy

  • Cord-cutting rituals to release toxic ties

  • Heart-healing work after breakups

  • Manifestation spells for emotionally fulfilling relationships

But if you come asking for a way to force someone to love you, bind them to you, or override their free will? I’m not your witch.

That kind of magic broke me once. I won’t help it break someone else.
