Get Ex Back Rituals: Honey Jar, Candle, Bay Leaf and Photo Spells

The most popular get your ex back spells you can do at home are the honey jar spell, the sugar jar spell, the pink or red candle spell, the bay leaf spell and the photo spell. Each one uses a personal link to your ex — their name or photo — together with ingredients traditionally tied to love and sweetness, cast during a waxing or full moon with a clear intention.

Before You Start: Preparing for a Get Ex Back Ritual

• Be clear about what you want. Write one sentence, for example: "Daniel returns to me with love and we talk openly again." Use it in every ritual.
• Get a personal link. Your ex's full name, date of birth, a photo, handwriting or a small item they gave you.
• Cleanse yourself. Take a salt bath or shower before casting to clear heavy emotions.
• Choose a quiet time. Turn off your phone and make sure you will not be disturbed.
• Stay safe with fire. Use a heat-proof dish, keep candles away from curtains and never leave them burning unattended.

Best Moon Phase for a Return Lover Spell

Fridays are traditionally tied to love, so a Friday during a waxing or full moon is the best time for most return lover rituals.

Honey Jar Spell to Get Ex Back

The honey jar is the classic sweetening spell. It softens anger and brings sweetness back into how your ex thinks and feels about you.

Sugar Container Spell to Sweeten an Ex

If you do not have honey, a sugar container spell works the same way. Use a jar of white or brown sugar instead of honey. Place the folded name paper inside, cover it completely with sugar and keep the jar in your bedroom. Each night, hold the jar and picture your ex speaking to you kindly. Sugar jars are often used for an ex who has become angry or bitter.

Candle Spell to Bring Back an Ex

Candle magic is one of the simplest and most direct ways to call a lover back. The colour of the candle sets the purpose:

Pink Candle Spell for Ex Return

For an ex boyfriend where you want passion to return as well as love, use a red candle spell with the same steps.

Bay Leaf Spell to Get Ex Back

Photo Spell to Make Your Ex Return

A photograph is one of the strongest links to a person. For a photo spell, place a photo of your ex face-up under a pink or red candle on a heat-proof plate. Put a photo of yourself face-down on top of theirs, so your faces meet. Light the candle, speak your intention and let it burn. Keep the photos together in a red cloth afterwards. This is also the base of the traditional obsession spell using a photo and candle, which adds a red candle and repeats the ritual for nine nights.

Cinnamon Love Spell for Ex Reconciliation

Cinnamon brings warmth and speed to love work. Mix a pinch of cinnamon with a little sugar. On a Friday morning, stand at your door, hold the mixture in your palm, speak your ex's name and blow it gently into your home. This invites them back into your space. Leave it until the next day before cleaning.

Rosemary Spell to Make Ex Remember You

Rosemary is the herb of memory. Tie a sprig of rosemary with a strand of your hair and a thread in your favourite colour. Hold it and picture your ex remembering the best times you shared. Place it under your pillow for seven nights. It is used to make an ex think of you and remember why they loved you.

Rose Quartz and Crystals for Bringing an Ex Back

Rose quartz is the stone of love and reconciliation. Hold a piece while you picture your ex, then keep it next to their photo or in your honey jar. Other crystals used for love work include rhodonite for forgiveness, garnet for passion and moonstone for emotional connection.

Written Petition Spell for Lost Love

A petition spell is a letter to the spiritual world. On parchment or plain paper, write your ex's name, your name, and a short, clear request — what you want to happen between you. Sign it, anoint the corners with a drop of oil, fold it towards you and keep it under a candle, in a honey jar, or under your mattress until your ex returns.

Salt and Sea Salt Bath to Clear Obstacles

Before and during any return lover ritual, clearing heavy energy helps. Add a handful of sea salt and a few drops of lavender oil to a warm bath and soak for 15 minutes. A salt spell to clear obstacles can also be done by sprinkling a line of salt across your doorway during a waning moon to keep out negativity and interference from others.

Why Did My Get Ex Back Spell Fail?

• The intention was unclear or kept changing. Doubt weakens the spell.
• You kept chasing your ex. Pressure and constant messages push them away while the spell is working.
• The situation needed more strength. A third party, a long separation or strong anger often needs a cast spell, not a home ritual.
• Negative energy or another spell was blocking it. A cleansing may be needed first.
• Not enough time. Many rituals take weeks, not days.

When to Let Dr Omar Cast It for You

Home rituals are a good start for a recent breakup with no one else involved. When your ex has blocked you, moved on with someone new, filed for divorce, or been gone for months, the situation needs a stronger, personally cast spell. Dr Omar's return ex lover spell is cast with a full reading of your situation and follow-up until you see results.
