SOURCE : The Ethics of Love Spells : Hoodoo and New Age Wicca Compared
…in modern terms, love magic has taken a very “safe” and “harmless” approach to obtaining your perfect mate. Much of the “harm none” and “no magic without someone’s permission” ethics that we’ve assumed as the pinnacles of morality have simply bled over from modern, new age practices and from wiccan practices. Hoodoo, simply put, is not new age and certainly isn’t wicca, and has little concern for their ideas about what is ethical and what isn’t. Hoodoo inherits its ethical codes from African magical practices brought to the new world by the slaves and carried on by their descendants. Simply put, if you want to get it, then you work for it. I’m not going to discuss what practices are ethical or aren’t – I’m just going to talk about some hoodoo.
Old hoodoo spells to get a lover are largely controlling or manipulative in practice. Many of them consist of MAKING someone fall in love with you, or forcing someone to stay by your side…. Suffice it to say, these are powerful…
