Getting Your Ex Back
Bring Back Your Lost Lover:
The Complete Spiritual Guide for 2026
When the love was real, the spiritual bond persists long after the relationship ends. A properly performed bring back lost lover spell works with that bond — not against reality, but with what’s already spiritually true between two people.
The Hard Truth About Lost Love — And the Hope Within It
Let me begin with something honest: not every lost love situation is the same, and not every one has the same spiritual potential for reunion. After 30 years and over 15,000 castings, I’ve learned to distinguish clearly between situations where a bring back lost lover spell has strong foundation to work with and situations where the realistic path forward looks different.
I’m telling you this not to discourage you but because I believe you deserve honesty more than you deserve comfortable promises. The practitioners who guarantee results regardless of circumstances are the ones selling you false hope at your most vulnerable moment. My job is to tell you the truth and, where the truth supports hope, to show you a clear path forward. Additionally, the hopeful truth — and it is genuinely hopeful — is this: when two people shared real, deep, mutual love, that love creates a spiritual imprint that does not disappear when the relationship ends. The feelings can be buried, suppressed, redirected, or covered over with pain and time — but at the energetic level, the bond persists. A properly performed bring back lost lover spell works with this persisting bond. It doesn’t create something from nothing. Moreover, it reactivates something that was always there.
I’ve witnessed reunions that seemed impossible: couples separated for years, people who had moved across the country, situations where one person was with someone new and seemed completely over the past relationship. What made these reunions possible wasn’t magic overriding reality — it was magic working with a spiritual reality that the surface appearances were obscuring.
The Spiritual Reality of Deep Love
In West African spiritual tradition, we understand that genuine love between two people creates an ase — a living spiritual force — between them. This ase doesn’t die when a relationship ends. It goes dormant, gets covered with layers of pain and interference, but remains present. The question isn’t whether the love still exists at a spiritual level — it’s whether there’s enough of it to work with, and whether the barriers covering it can be effectively dissolved. A divination reading answers these questions before any casting begins.
The Spiritual Bond That Persists After Breakups
Modern psychology tells us that the brain of someone who’s been in deep love is physiologically different — certain neural pathways have been forged, certain hormonal patterns established, that don’t simply reverse when a relationship ends. Research on breakup recovery shows that deep romantic attachment creates changes in brain chemistry comparable to addiction, which is why lost love feels so physically painful and why “moving on” is rarely as clean as it sounds.
Spiritual tradition goes further. In Yoruba practice, we understand that two people who have loved each other deeply have established a real energetic connection — their ase (spiritual power/force) has interpenetrated and left marks on each other’s spiritual field. These marks don’t disappear with time. They remain, and they exert ongoing pull, which is why people who shared real love often continue to feel drawn toward each other even years after separation and even when their rational minds have decided to move on.
This explains why the bring back lost lover spell works when it’s rooted in genuine love history: it isn’t overriding the other person’s free will. It’s working with a genuine spiritual connection that already exists and is already exerting real pull — the spell amplifies and clears the path for that existing pull to fully express itself.
When someone tells me their ex “doesn’t feel anything anymore,” I receive that as information about what they’re expressing — not as definitive evidence of what they feel spiritually. In my 30 years of practice, I’ve seen people who insisted they were completely over someone respond profoundly to spiritual work targeting the real bond beneath their defended surface — because that bond was still there, waiting to be reached.
What Makes a Situation Spiritually Workable
Before I recommend or perform any bring back lost lover spell, I conduct a divination reading to assess the spiritual workability of the situation. Here’s what I’m looking for:
The Nature and Depth of the Original Bond
Was the love real and mutual at its peak? Did both people experience genuine emotional, spiritual, and physical connection? Did the relationship have depth — shared experiences, emotional vulnerability, a sense of recognition or destiny? The stronger and more genuine the original bond, the more there is for the spell to work with.
The Primary Causes of Separation
Different causes of separation have different spiritual signatures. Communication breakdown and accumulated resentment leave one kind of energetic residue. Third-party interference leaves another. Fear of vulnerability or commitment leaves another. External life pressures that forced separation leave another. Understanding the cause helps determine what type of clearing and casting is most appropriate.
The Current Spiritual State of Both People
Is the target person actively trying to suppress or run from their feelings for you? Are they in a new relationship as a coping mechanism or a genuine new direction? Are they carrying significant spiritual blockages (depression, trauma, family influence) that are affecting their capacity to act on their authentic feelings? These factors affect approach and timeline.
The Presence of External Interference
Is another person’s energetic or spiritual influence affecting the situation? A new partner who is investing significant attention in your person? A family member who actively worked to end the relationship? Someone who performed their own spiritual work to keep your person focused away from you? These are real and addressable factors that need to be identified and neutralized.

Why Lovers Become “Lost” — The Real Spiritual Causes
Understanding why your person left is not just emotionally relevant — it’s spiritually important because different causes require different approaches in the ritual work.
In my experience, the most common reasons for lost love situations include:
- Accumulated pain and resentment: Small wounds that built up over time until they created walls too high to see over. Spiritually, this appears as dense energetic residue — calcified hurt that needs dissolving before the fresh connection beneath can breathe.
- Fear of vulnerability: People who were wounded in childhood or past relationships often leave when love gets deep enough to feel dangerous. They’re not leaving because the love ended — they’re fleeing because the love feels threatening. Spiritual work that addresses the fear at an energetic level, creating a sense of safety, is the approach for these cases.
- Third-party influence: A new person in their life, an interfering ex, or a family member who worked actively to end your relationship. These situations often have clear spiritual signatures and respond well to clearing work that removes the external energetic influence from the field between you.
- Life circumstances creating distance: Physical separation, career demands, family crises, cultural or family pressure — external factors that created distance neither person truly wanted. When the love is genuine and circumstances are the primary barrier, spiritual work can be highly effective at creating openings.
- Spiritual blockages in the target person: Depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or ancestral patterns around love that are causing them to self-sabotage. These require healing-focused approaches alongside reunion work.
Common Scenarios and What They Mean Spiritually
💔 “They’ve completely cut off contact and blocked me on everything”
High contact avoidance often indicates high emotional charge — meaning the feelings are still active and they’re managing them through distance. This is actually a positive spiritual signal. The spiritual bond is clearly still affecting them; they’re blocking because they feel something, not because they feel nothing. Bring back lost lover spells often produce strong results in these situations precisely because the underlying connection is so charged.
💙 “They’re with someone new — I think they’ve moved on”
New relationships after a significant breakup are often transitional — emotional first aid rather than genuine soul matches. The spiritual bond with the original partner often remains the primary connection even while a new relationship exists on the surface. I’ve worked many cases in this category with strong outcomes, particularly when the original relationship had deep roots and the new relationship is recent.
🕰️ “It’s been years since we were together”
Time doesn’t dissolve genuine spiritual bonds — it can actually concentrate them, as the connection matures through whatever life both people have lived since the separation. Some of the strongest reunion castings I’ve performed have been in long-separated situations. The key question is always the quality of the original love, not the amount of time that’s passed.
🌊 “We had a terrible ending — anger, betrayal, things said that can’t be unsaid”
Dramatic, painful endings actually indicate how significant the connection was. People don’t react that intensely to people who don’t matter. The challenge in these situations is dissolving accumulated hurt and rebuilding the energetic pathway between two people whose connection has been damaged — but this is exactly what skilled spiritual work is designed to address.
The Bring Back Lost Lover Spell Process: What I Actually Do
People often imagine that a bring back lost lover spell is a single dramatic ritual. In reality, it’s a layered process — and that layering is what makes it effective.
Comprehensive Divination Reading
I begin every case with a thorough cowrie shell reading (Diloggun divination) to assess the complete spiritual picture: what forces are at play, what’s blocking the connection, whether third-party interference is present, which Orishas need to be invoked, and what specific approach will be most effective for this unique situation. No two situations are spiritually identical.
Spiritual Cleansing and Clearing
Before reunion work begins, accumulated negative energy needs to be cleared — from the client’s own field, from the energetic space between the two people, and (when present) from the influence of third parties. This might involve ceremonial bath prescriptions for the client, specific clearing rituals directed at the between-space, and/or removal workings targeting external interference.
Sacred Altar Construction
The ritual altar for bring back lost lover work typically incorporates: items associated with Oshun (honey, cinnamon, yellow candles, sweet herbs, river water, sunflowers), personal items from both individuals when available, photographs or symbolic representations, petition papers written in specific traditional formats, and offerings prescribed by the divination reading. Every element is placed with specific intentionality.
Primary Casting
The main ritual work: prayers in Yoruba, invocation of Oshun and relevant ancestral forces, specific ritual actions appropriate to the type of working, and the primary petition. Timing matters — I perform this during the lunar phase most supportive of reunion work, on the day of the week associated with Venus (Friday), and during the hour of Venus calculated from sunrise.
Sustained Candle Work (7 or 21 Days)
After the primary casting, a series of daily candle rituals maintains and builds the working’s energy. Each day adds another layer of spiritual force to the ongoing shift in the energetic field between the two people. Clients receive daily guidance on supporting practices they can do to align their own energy with the work being done.
Monitoring and Follow-up
I maintain contact with clients throughout the process, watching for signs of movement and adjusting the approach if needed. If early indications suggest the primary work needs support — additional clearing, a secondary casting, or adjustment of the client’s behavioral guidance — I address this within the process rather than charging for additional sessions retroactively.

Sacred Altar Work and Why Personal Items Matter
People sometimes ask why I request photos, names, and dates of birth — and occasionally personal items like a piece of clothing or handwriting — from both individuals involved in a casting. The answer is spiritual rather than procedural.
In West African tradition, personal items carry what we call an ase signature — a spiritual fingerprint that connects the item to the person it belongs to. Working with items that carry someone’s ase creates a direct spiritual link to that person, allowing the ritual work to reach them specifically rather than working in a more general way. This precision matters in bring back lost lover work, where the intention is directed specifically toward the energetic space between two particular people. In fact, the altar itself serves as the physical anchor point for the spiritual work — a place where the energies being invoked and the intentions being set are concentrated and held. A properly constructed altar is not decoration; it’s a functional spiritual instrument that continues to work and accumulate energy throughout the casting period.
Items placed on the altar are treated with respect throughout the process and returned to clients when asked, or disposed of according to traditional protocols that close the working properly at its conclusion.
Signs Your Bring Back Lost Lover Spell Is Working
Realistic Timeline by Situation Type
One of the most important things I can tell clients is that timeline varies significantly by situation type — and that variation is real, not evasion. Here’s what honest experience shows:
Simple Situations (Recent Separation, Minor Conflict, No Third Party)
Cases where the relationship ended recently (within 3 months), the conflict was manageable rather than catastrophic, there’s no active third party, and both people clearly still care — these are the fastest-moving cases. First signs typically appear within days, behavioral shifts within 2–3 weeks, and active reconnection within 4–6 weeks of the primary casting.
Moderate Situations (3–12 Month Separation, Some Blockages, New Person In Picture)
Cases with longer separation, significant emotional wounds, or a new relationship in the picture require more work and more time. First signs still appear in weeks 1–2, but behavioral shifts and reconnection typically take 6–12 weeks. The new relationship aspect requires additional clearing work, which extends the timeline somewhat but doesn’t make reunion impossible.
Complex Situations (Long Separation, Deep Wounds, Strong Third Party, Spiritual Blockages)
The most complex cases — years of separation, severe conflict that damaged trust deeply, strong external interference, or significant spiritual blockages in the target person — require multi-session work over 3–6 months. Results are real but require sustained investment and patience. I work these cases in phases rather than expecting everything to resolve from a single casting.
Your Role During the Process — Why This Matters
Your own energy during the casting process is not passive. You are not a bystander waiting for magic to happen to you — you are an active participant in the spiritual work, and what you do (and don’t do) during the casting period significantly affects outcomes. Additionally, your energy field is part of the energetic space the spell is working with. When you’re calm, open, and genuinely trusting the process, that creates clean space for the spiritual work to operate in. In fact, when you’re desperate, anxious, and constantly checking for signs or reaching out pressuringly, you’re creating interference in that same space.
I provide all my clients with specific behavioral guidance tailored to their situation after the casting begins. This guidance is based on what the divination revealed about the target person’s current spiritual state and what approach will work best given those factors. Following this guidance consistently is one of the most important things you can do to support a positive outcome.
What NOT to Do While the Spell Is Working
- Don’t pursue or pressure them. Desperate contact creates energetic repulsion that works against what the spell is building. Let the spiritual work create the opening; respond to contact, don’t initiate it compulsively.
- Don’t announce that you’ve done spell work. This almost always creates resistance and can significantly disrupt an active working. The spiritual process needs to unfold naturally in the target person’s consciousness.
- Don’t consult multiple practitioners simultaneously. Conflicting spiritual workings create interference that can slow or neutralize results. Commit fully to one process.
- Don’t check social media obsessively. This keeps your attention and energy focused on absence rather than return, which is the opposite of what you want to be energetically creating.
- Don’t make major life decisions based on anxiety. The post-casting period is not the time to decide to move, change jobs, or make other significant changes out of desperation or distraction.
The spiritual bond between two people who genuinely loved each other persists like an energetic thread — the bring back lost lover spell works by clearing the interference that has tangled and weakened that thread, allowing it to draw two hearts back together.
Handling the Most Complex Lost Lover Situations
Some situations require acknowledgment that they’re genuinely complex, and that complexity deserves honest engagement rather than false reassurance.
When there’s been significant betrayal — infidelity, serious dishonesty, deep emotional wounds — the spiritual work needs to address both the reunion dynamic and the healing of the wound. Reunion without healing creates a fragile reconnection that will likely fracture again. I approach these cases by combining reunion work with healing work, addressing both dimensions simultaneously. Moreover, when the target person is married to or seriously committed to someone else, the ethical and spiritual dimensions are more complex. I don’t perform work designed to break up someone who is genuinely committed to their current relationship. But when the “commitment” to someone new is clearly transitional and the original bond is strong, I work within clear ethical guidelines to support the authentic connection.
When the client’s own behavior was the primary cause of the separation — when they were the one who acted harmfully — the spiritual work needs to be paired with genuine accountability and change. A spell cannot fix what behavioral honesty must address. I have these conversations with clients who need to hear them, even when it’s not what they came to hear.
After Reunion: Protecting and Strengthening the Love
The reunion is the beginning, not the end. Once spiritual work has helped create the opening for reconnection, there’s follow-up work worth considering to protect and deepen the restored bond.
Honey jar maintenance — a simple but effective traditional technique — can be set up to continuously sweeten and stabilize the energy between two people who have reunited. Blessing work at the beginning of a renewed relationship creates a positive spiritual foundation. Occasional cleansing and protection work shields the relationship from external energetic interference going forward. In fact, the relationship that returns after a real separation is often stronger than what existed before, because both people have had the experience of genuine loss — and that experience tends to transform how people value and treat each other. I’ve seen many clients tell me that their reunited relationship is the best version of what they had, transformed by the journey of separation and return.
Is Your Lost Lover Situation One I Can Help With?
I offer a free consultation where I’ll assess your specific circumstances honestly — the strength of the original bond, what’s creating the separation, what type of work is most appropriate, and what you can realistically expect. No pressure, no promises beyond what I genuinely believe is possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — and in fact, comprehensive blocking often indicates that the emotional connection is still very active, which is actually a positive spiritual signal. People don’t go to the trouble of blocking someone who means nothing to them. The blocking is often a way of managing feelings that are still intense. Moreover, the spell works at the energetic level, which operates independently of whether physical communication channels are open. Many of my most dramatic reunion results have come from situations where the client had been completely blocked. The block typically dissolves on its own as the spell’s effects reach the target person’s emotional field.
I genuinely don’t have a time limit that I impose on these situations. I’ve worked successfully with clients who’ve been separated from their person for 5, 7, even 10+ years. The question isn’t how much time has passed — it’s whether the original love was real and deep enough to have created a lasting spiritual bond. Time can concentrate as much as it can diminish. Some of the most powerful spiritual connections I’ve encountered in 30 years of practice were between people who had been separated for years but still felt the pull of their original love clearly. Additionally, the divination reading, not the calendar, is what tells me whether a situation has workable foundation.
New relationships are common after significant breakups, and they don’t necessarily indicate that the original bond is gone. Many post-breakup relationships are transitional — people seeking something to ease the pain of what they lost, or trying to prove to themselves that they’re over the original person. When a new relationship is clearly transitional and the original bond was deep, the bring back lost lover spell targets the original connection rather than trying to interfere with the new relationship directly. As the original connection reactivates, the new relationship often fades naturally. I work within clear ethical guidelines in these cases and assess each situation through divination before recommending an approach.
No. The spiritual work operates in the energetic dimension, which is not dependent on physical contact between the two people. Many of my clients have no contact with the target person at the time the casting begins, and this doesn’t prevent the work from being effective. In fact, I often advise clients to let the spiritual work create the opening rather than forcing contact before the energetic conditions are favorable. When the spell begins creating shifts in the target person’s energy field, they typically initiate contact naturally — which is a much stronger foundation for genuine reconnection than contact forced by the client.
Free love spell instructions online are typically generic ritual formats — candle arrangements, words to say, herbs to burn — performed without any established relationship with the spiritual forces being invoked. Reading about Oshun and then lighting a yellow candle while saying a prayer to her is not equivalent to working with a practitioner who has spent 30 years building a genuine ritual relationship with Oshun through daily devotion, traditional offerings, initiated ceremonies, and consistent practice. The difference is analogous to reading about surgery versus having surgery performed by a trained surgeon. Moreover, the information is the same; the capability to use it effectively is entirely different. My lineage, my decades of cultivated relationships with the Orishas, and my experience across thousands of cases are what differentiate what I do from what you can find in a free spell guide.
