From Cards to Commitment: How Hoodoo Uses Playing Cards for Love Work


Laying Cards for Love Work in Hoodoo


Using playing cards in Hoodoo is a traditional method for focusing intentions and directing energy in spell work. The combination of the card, a rose, a picture of the person, and a Bible verse is a powerful way to align spiritual forces to achieve your desired outcome.


Ace of Hearts: New Love

Divination Meaning:

  • The Ace of Hearts traditionally represents new love, beginnings in emotional connections, or the start of a romantic relationship.

Hoodoo Significance:

  • In Hoodoo, the Ace of Hearts is laid down to attract new love or to invite a fresh, passionate connection into your life. It symbolizes the opening of the heart and the beginning of a potentially deep emotional bond.

Suggested Bible Verses:

  • Song of Solomon 1:2 - “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—for your love is more delightful than wine.”

  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - This passage, often recited in weddings, speaks to the nature of true love, making it a strong foundation for inviting love into your life.


King or Queen of Hearts: Committed Partner (Husband/Wife)

Divination Meaning:

  • The King of Hearts represents a mature, emotionally balanced man who could be a loving husband or a committed partner.

  • The Queen of Hearts represents a nurturing, caring woman who embodies the qualities of a loving wife or partner.

Hoodoo Significance:

  • The King or Queen of Hearts is laid down when you want to strengthen or attract a committed partnership. The King brings in the energy of protection, stability, and deep love from a male figure, while the Queen represents nurturing, compassion, and unconditional love from a female figure.


Suggested Bible Verses:

  • Ephesians 5:25-28 (For the King of Hearts) - "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."

  • Proverbs 31:10-12 (For the Queen of Hearts) - "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value."

  • Ruth 1:16-17 - A powerful verse for both cards, symbolizing devotion and loyalty: "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay."


Ritual Setup and Execution

  1. Gather Your Items: Playing Card: Choose the Ace of Hearts for new love, or the King/Queen of Hearts for a committed partner.


    Rose: Symbolizes love and beauty. A red rose is traditional for romantic love.


    Picture: A photo of the person you want to attract or strengthen your relationship with.


    Bible: Open to the chosen verse.


  2. Lay the Card: Place the playing card on the Bible, on the chosen verse. This symbolically ties the qualities of the card to the spiritual power of the verse.


  3. Add the Rose and Picture: Place the rose on top of the card, representing the blossoming of love. For new love you can use a rose bud, it has to "blossom". For someone you want to strengthen what you have with them you can use a petal. The picture should be placed near or under the rose, symbolizing the connection between the person and the love energy being invoked.


  4. Pray with Intention: Recite the Bible verse and speak your intention clearly. Visualize the love or relationship you desire manifesting in your life.


  5. Seal the Work: Close the Bible, leaving the card, rose, and picture inside. You can leave this setup in a sacred space, like an altar, until you see movement in your situation.


Summary of Cards in Hoodoo Context

  • Ace of Hearts: Represents the beginning of new love or a fresh romantic connection.

  • King of Hearts: Embodies a committed, loving husband or male partner, bringing stability and emotional depth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. "A powerful passage that highlights the qualities of true love, perfect for drawing in a deep, meaningful relationship.
