In the final installment of our Herbs, Oils, and Natural Elements series, we explore two ingredients that sit on opposite ends of the romantic spectrum: Vanilla and Clove. Together, they create a "push-pull" energy that is almost impossible to resist.
Vanilla provides the "Comfort"—the sweet, nostalgic feeling of being safe and cherished. Clove provides the "Command"—the sharp, protective fire that demands respect and ensures your partner's eyes stay only on you.

Vanilla: The Scent of "Home" and "Holding"
Vanilla is ruled by Venus and the element of Water. It is one of the most universally liked scents because it mimics the warmth and security of a peaceful childhood. In love magic, Vanilla is used to "soften" a person’s heart and make them feel an irresistible urge to stay near you.
-
Best For: Creating a "cozy" atmosphere, increasing physical affection, and manifesting a gentle soulmate.
-
The "Irresistible Aura" Trick: Dab a tiny bit of pure vanilla extract (not artificial) behind your ears before a date. Unlike heavy perfumes, vanilla triggers a "subconscious comfort" response, making people want to lean in closer to you.
-
The "Softening" Sugar: Keep a vanilla bean inside your sugar jar. Use this sugar when making tea for a partner who has been "grumpy" or emotionally distant. It works like a gentle "thaw" for their mood.
Clove: The Herb of "Stop and Stay"
Clove is ruled by Jupiter (for expansion and luck) and the element of Fire. In love magic, Clove is a "Warrior" herb. It is used to "Stop" gossip, "Stop" interference, and "Stop" a partner from straying.
-
Best For: Protecting a relationship, ending infidelity, and gaining the upper hand in a "stalled" romance.
-
The "Binding" Orange: This is an ancient folk-magic ritual. Stud an orange with whole cloves in the shape of a heart or your partner's initial. As you push the cloves into the skin, visualize your partner's heart being "pinned" to yours.
-
The "Shut Your Mouth" Spell: If people are gossiping about your relationship, carry three whole cloves in your pocket. It is believed to "burn" the tongues of those who speak ill of your love.
The "Comfort & Command" Sachet
Use this sachet when you want your partner to feel deeply loved but also completely devoted to you alone.
| Ingredient | Magical Role |
| 1 Vanilla Bean (or a cotton ball with vanilla oil) | To create the "Comfort" and desire to stay. |
| 7 Whole Cloves | To "Command" loyalty and protect the bond. |
| A Piece of Red Flannel | To hold the "Fire" of the relationship. |
The Ritual: Place the vanilla and the cloves inside the red cloth. Tie it with a gold thread. Hold it in your hands and say: "Sweet as the bean, sharp as the spice. You stay by my side, and our love is nice. No others you see, no others you find. In the warmth of my heart, your soul is entwined." Hide this in your bedroom or under the mattress.
Reader Testimonials
"My relationship was falling apart because of outside drama. I started using a 'Vanilla and Clove' floor wash on Fridays. The house started smelling amazing, but more importantly, my partner stopped listening to the 'toxic' friends who were trying to break us up. It’s like the Clove acted as a shield and the Vanilla made our home his favorite place again." — Lebo M., Johannesburg
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use Vanilla to get an ex back?
Vanilla is excellent for "Nostalgia Magic." If you want an ex to remember the "good times" and the "safety" of being with you, use Vanilla in a candle ritual. It takes away the bitterness of the breakup and replaces it with a "sweet" memory.
Is Clove "aggressive" magic?
Clove is "Commanding," but not "Coercive." It doesn’t take away someone's free will; it simply "amplifies" the consequences of their actions and protects your boundaries. It says, "If you love me, stay; if you don't, the path is blocked."
Can I use these in the kitchen?
Absolutely! A "Love Cake" or "Passion Cookies" baked with vanilla and a pinch of ground cloves is a powerful way to ingest these intentions. Food is one of the fastest ways to bypass the "Ego" and hit the "Heart."
Pro-Tip: The "Clove-Cleansing" Smoke
If you feel like "negative spirits" or "bad vibes" are affecting your love life, burn a few whole cloves on a charcoal disk. The smoke is very spicy and intense—it literally "scares away" any low-vibration energy that might be causing arguments between you and your partner.
