Hummingbird Spells

Hummingbirds are included as an ingredient in many Mexican love spells. In the past, hummingbirds were captured and dried to be used alongside the botannicals and oils in magick markets. Fortunately, a much more humane way of utilizing the spirit of the hummingbird is now practiced. This involves the use of a metal or stone fetish.

Hummingbird Altar of Love

To create a hummingbird altar of love, place an image of a hummingbird as the focal point. Burn copal in front of the image while concentrating on and visualizing your desires.

To strengthen the spell, petition Xochiquetzal, the enchanting and beautiful Aztec Goddess of love. Offer bouquets of lovely flowers and spring water while requesting her assistance.

About Xochiquetzal
Her name means "Flower Feather". Originally associated with the moon, Xochiquetzal is the most charming Goddess of the Aztec pantheon and rules the earth, flowers, plants, games, and dance, in addition to matters of the heart. She is also the patroness of artisans, prostitutes, pregnant women and birth. Every eight years a feast was held in her honor where the celebrants wore animal and flowers masks. Her husband is said to be Tlolac, the God of rain and fertility, and she is reportedly the mother of Quetzlcoatl, the feathered serpent deity of Mesoamerican culture.

About Voodoomama
I come by this magick honestly as a descendent of the Aztec King Xicotencotl of Tlaxcala. Two of his daughters married two Spanish conquistadors, Pedro and Jorge Alvarado, and subsequently bore the first Mixtec children. These are the ancestors of my father.

Free Voodoo Doll Love Spell

Yes, Voodoo dolls are excellent for use in cases of attracting love or improving sex. Get a Voodoo doll in the likeness of Oshun or Erzulie Freda. These are the Santeria and Voodoo Goddesses of love.

The following ritual invokes the spirit of Oshun. Oshun is the Santeria goddess of love, art, and dance. Her greatest attribute is her ability to provide the emotions a solid foundation upon which to reside and grow.

Ideally, you will begin at your altar. It is advisable to have altar candles (yellow, green, or pink) and spiritual incense burning (cinnamon) at the time of use. To begin, you will need to ask Papa Legba to open the gates to the spirit world so that you can ask Oshun for a favor. To do so, recite the following three times:

Odu Legba, Papa Legba, open the door, Your children are waiting. Papa Legba, open the door, your children await.

You can now use your Voodoo doll as a focusing tool for creating the change you seek. Oshun is particularly useful for improving love, happiness, and emotional strength. Concentrate on the outcome you wish to occur and greet Oshun with the appropriate ritual greeting: Ori Ye Ye O.
You may now ask Oshun for assistance in creating the change you seek. You may write a petition if you wish. Make an offering for three days following your request. Appropriate offerings include lighting a special candle, placing a small plate of food from your dinner on her altar, or flowers. Oshun is particularly fond of cinnamon, honey, oranges, pumpkins, gold, mirrors, and French pastries. Her favorite colors are yellow, green, and coral, her favorite day is Thursday, and her favorite number is the number 5. Be creative!

When you are finished, place Oshun in your kitchen or in the bedroom as these are the best places in the home for her.
