Love Spells: The Dark History of Love Magic and Unnatural Compliance

Send us Fan MailIn this special February episode of the You Two Scare Me podcast, hosts Feliz and Andi dive deep into the unsettling world of love spells and love magic. As part of their month-long series on love and the paranormal, the duo explores why the desire to control affection is one of the oldest and most persistent human impulses.From the Greek Magical Papyri to medieval England and modern-day Voodoo and Santeria, love spells appear across every culture and era. But what happens when these rituals actually work? Feliz and Andi discuss the "unnatural compliance" and loss of agency that often follow, sharing chilling accounts of shared dreams, intrusive thoughts, and the dark side of spirit-based magic. They also touch on the modern legal dangers of the "love spell industry," including extortion and psychic scams.Finally, stay tuned for our fan-favorite segment, "Somebody Told Me," where Andi shares a local Key West haunting involving a generational business, a shadow figure named Ignacio, and a 50-year-old tradition of leaving water out for the spirits.Do you have a spooky story that you’d like included in the You Two Scare Me Podcast? Check out our website at: www.youtwoscaremepodcast.com and go fill out the “Somebody Told Me…” form.
