In the spiritual world of Hoodoo, lovebirds hold powerful symbolism, representing lifelong commitment, loyalty, and emotional intimacy. Known for their strong pair bonds, lovebirds stay with one partner for life, nurturing their relationship with affection and devotion. This ritual draws on the characteristics of lovebirds and their eggs to create a sacred working that deepens the emotional connection between two people, fostering a monogamous and lifelong bond.
The lovebird eggs in this ritual symbolize the nurturing energy of a committed relationship, sealed with the names of the partners and blessed with herbs such as magnolia (for fidelity and marriage) and cumin (for loyalty and strengthening the bond). By preparing the eggs with love-drawing oil, herbs, and prayers, the practitioner sets the intention for a relationship rooted in trust and love. The final act of burying the eggs in a meaningful location, such as under a magnolia tree or near a marriage chapel, plants the seeds of a lasting, unbreakable union.
This simple yet powerful ritual invites the practitioner to call on the qualities of lovebirds—loyalty, devotion, and lifelong companionship—while using elements such as honey, rose petals, and Bible verses to bring the energy of love and commitment into the physical world.

Red candle (for passion)
Pink candle (for romance and emotional intimacy)
Honey (for sweetness and harmony)
Love-drawing oil (such as Come to Me, Follow Me Boy, or Chuparrosa)

Rose petals (for love, beauty, and affection)
A small piece of parchment or paper (for writing names and petitions)
Red thread or wax (to seal the eggs)
A pin, needle, or small tool to carefully make a hole in the eggs
Bible (for prayers and Bible verses)
Bible Verses:
Genesis 2:24 – "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Song of Solomon 6:3 – "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine."
Ecclesiastes 4:12 – "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Preparation:
Prepare the Lovebird Eggs:
Carefully use a pin, needle, or another small tool to make a hole in each lovebird egg, being gentle not to crack them.
Set aside the eggs while you prepare the names and herbs.
Write the Names and Petition:
On two small pieces of parchment or paper, write your name and your partner's name. You can also include a brief petition such as: "May we be loyal, devoted, and true to each other, bonded in love for life."
Fold the papers toward you, drawing the energy in, and set them aside.
Anoint the Papers:
Dab a bit of love-drawing oil on each piece of paper. As you do this, focus on your intention for loyalty, emotional intimacy, and a strong, lasting bond between you and your partner.
Prepare the Herbs:
Mix together a small amount of magnolia petals or bark, cinnamon, and cumin seeds. These herbs will strengthen the fidelity and passion in your relationship, while magnolia focuses on marriage and lifelong commitment.
Ritual Instructions:
Fill the Lovebird Eggs:
Gently insert the pieces of parchment into the holes of the lovebird eggs. Afterward, sprinkle the herb mixture into each egg, symbolically filling the eggs with the energy of fidelity, passion, and commitment.
Once the names and herbs are inside the eggs, seal the hole using red thread wrapped around the egg or by sealing the hole with red wax. As you seal the eggs, visualize your relationship becoming whole and unbreakable.
Set the Altar:
Place a white cloth on your altar to symbolize purity and commitment.
In the center, place the sealed lovebird eggs.
Surround the eggs with rose petals, magnolia petals, cinnamon, and cumin to reinforce the themes of love and fidelity.
Place the red candle on the left (for passion) and the pink candle on the right (for romance).
Light the candles.
Prayer and Bible Verses:
Read Genesis 2:24Â aloud: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."Â Pray for your bond to be strong and inseparable.
Next, read Song of Solomon 6:3: "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine."Â Visualize you and your partner as two lovebirds, eternally bound in love and loyalty.
Finally, recite Ecclesiastes 4:12: "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."Â Ask for divine strength and protection over your relationship.
Work the Eggs on the Altar:
For the next 7 days, keep the eggs on your altar. Each day, anoint the eggs with love-drawing oil and pray over them using the Bible verses. Visualize your relationship growing in strength, loyalty, and emotional closeness.
Let the red and pink candles burn down completely or relight them each day if preferred.
Burying the Eggs:
After the 7-day period, the eggs will be ready to be buried.
Choose a meaningful location that symbolizes love, commitment, and marriage. This could be under a magnolia tree (representing fidelity and marriage), near a marriage chapel or church, or even at your front door (symbolizing the home you share or wish to share).
As you bury the eggs, say: "As these lovebird eggs return to the earth, so too will our love and commitment grow, rooted deeply in loyalty and trust. May we be bound together for life, as lovebirds are forever true."
Additional Notes:
If you do not have a magnolia tree nearby, another meaningful location (such as a shared special place with your partner) will work.
After burying the eggs, leave an offering such as flowers or honey to bless the spot and honor the work.
If one candle burns faster than the other, it could indicate an imbalance in your relationship. Take note of what aspect (romance or passion) may need more attention.
This ritual is designed to use the strong symbolism of lovebird eggs and magnolia to reinforce commitment, loyalty, and lifelong love. The act of sealing the eggs with the names, herbs, and oils focuses your intention, and burying them in a significant place roots the energy of the relationship in the physical world.
