Dove’s Blood Ink in Grimoire and Petition Tradition
Dove’s Blood ink belongs to a long line of magically formulated writing inks rooted in European grimoire tradition, and it is also used in hoodoo petition work. The name evokes the dove’s ancient association with Venus, love, and peaceful covenant, and the ink itself is formulated, not from any animal source, but from dragon’s blood resin blended with botanicals aligned to love-drawing, reconciliation, and loyalty. Practitioners have used specially prepared inks since at least the medieval period to inscribe petitions, seals, and name papers with an intentional energetic signature beyond ordinary writing.
Dove’s Blood ink is a go-to ink for love and relationship work. Practitioners write petition papers for drawing a new romance, healing a rift between partners, restoring fidelity, or sealing a promise between friends. The ink appears in workings tied to Venus hours and Fridays, often paired with rose quartz, pink or red candles, and love-drawing oils. Its base of dragon’s blood resin, a natural tree resin harvested from Dracaena species in Madagascar and the Canary Islands, adds potency to the written word and gives the ink its deep red color without any cruelty.
What This Kit Contains and How Petition Writing Works
This kit includes everything needed to begin writing magical petitions in the traditional manner: one bottle of Dove’s Blood ink, five sheets of parchment paper suitable for burning, burying, or placing under a candle, and one feather intended to be fashioned into a quill pen by trimming the shaft at an angle with a sharp blade. Writing by hand with a quill pen dipped in ritual ink is a deliberate, slowed-down act that separates a petition from a casual note. The physical act of dipping, writing, and intention-setting is itself part of the working in many traditions of written magic.

Dove’s Blood is the softer half of the blood-ink pairing, set against Bat’s Blood ink for reversal and crossing work. If your working is oriented toward drawing, healing, or binding two people in love rather than separating or reversing, Dove’s Blood is the correct ink to reach for. It works well inscribed on small name papers tucked into a honey jar, written onto the back of a photo of the person you wish to reconcile with, or used to copy out a psalm associated with love.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this kit because it offers a complete, ready-to-use entry into petition writing without asking you to source ink, paper, and a quill separately. The ink is an Espiritu formula, and the parchment paper is the correct weight for petition work, whether you’re folding it into a charm bag or burning it over a candle. Hoodoo is a living tradition, and a kit like this is a supply, not a substitute for learning from practitioners and community. Dove’s Blood and Bat’s Blood kits are complementary items in a serious ritual practice, and I carry both so you can choose the right ink for the intent. If you’re new to petition writing, pair this kit with a good reference book from my books and journals collection to understand the full working context.
How to Use the Dove’s Blood Writing Kit
A step-by-step guide to preparing your quill, writing your petition, and completing the working with this kit.
- Prepare Your Quill and Ink
Trim the base of the feather shaft at a 45-degree angle using a sharp blade or craft knife to create a writing point. Dip only the tip into the Dove’s Blood ink and blot lightly before writing to control flow on parchment.
- Write Your Petition
On one sheet of parchment, write your petition, name paper, or seal in intentional script. Petition work often calls for writing the petition an odd number of times, typically three, seven, or nine, depending on the working.
- Complete and Fix Your Work
Once dry, fold the parchment toward you to draw in your desire. Place it under a candle, inside a honey jar, or carry it in a charm bag. In burning workings, use a fireproof bowl and observe all fire safety practices throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Dove’s Blood ink is a plant-based ritual ink with no animal blood. It gets its deep red color and name from dragon’s blood resin, a natural resin from Dracaena trees, blended with love-drawing botanicals.
Dove’s Blood ink is used to write love petitions, reconciliation papers, friendship seals, and vow papers, and it is also used in hoodoo petition work. It is a standard ink for any working oriented toward drawing love or repairing a relationship.
Dove’s Blood is for love, drawing, reconciliation, and fidelity work. Bat’s Blood is for reversal, crossing, and protective hex work. The two inks serve opposite ends of the petition-writing spectrum and should not be swapped in a working.
Parchment is preferred in petition work because it burns cleanly and holds ink well. Regular paper works in a pinch, but the five sheets in this kit are the correct material for traditional petitions, candle work, and honey jar workings.
