  • September 27th ~~ St. Vincent de Paul!

    September 27th ~~ St. Vincent de Paul

    One of my favorite Saints, EVER! Why? Partly because of the quotes at  the bottom of this post, and he did great works for the poor, and is the patron Saint of Charities,  but also, because, well, he was known to be a grouch! Granted, a grouch who was extremely sensitive to the needs of others, but also human as well, with his own frailties.  I have not ever read about a Saint before where they were quite described in this manner, and it brings to the fore for me that we can all do good work, and sometimes, just sometimes, not feel very "Saintly" Anyway, if you would like to read more about St Vincent De Paul, please look here!

    Light and Love

    "Strive to live content in the midst of those things that cause your discontent. Free your mind from all that troubles you, God will take care of things. You will be unable to make haste in this [choice] without, so to speak, grieving the heart of God, because he sees that you do not honor him sufficiently with holy trust. Trust in him, I beg you, and you will have the fulfillment of what your heart desires" (St. Vincent de Paul, Letters).

  • Stubborn Intruder! Read this!

    Hello!

    Recently, I have had a few clients write me about an intruder who just was being stubborn about going away. Things get close…OH SO CLOSE! … but then, nope, they do not go. As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I remembered these special candle magick instructions I received from Mambo Sam several years back. So, I would like to share them with you here. These instructions are great for those stubborn intruders, but also if your HD has one of those BFFs who just keeps running you down, saying negative things to your HD about you, or maybe is jealous and interfering in some way. Those of you who are unfortunate enough to have exeperienced this know what I mean!

    What you need: 1 brown image candle magick kit to represent your HD. 1 brown image candle magick kit to represent the person who is interfering. 1 Famous Black Mummy Candle kit. A fire proof surface.

    What to do:

    Stubborntowards

    The Black Mummy is going to be in the middle of the two different brown candles, one that you use to represent your HD, one that you use to represent the intruder. Have the two candles face each other.The candles should be prepped as per the instructions that came with the candles (I just pulled some candles off the stock room shelf to take this picture – prep yours as you would normally)

    Get the two brown candles going with their ritual (again see Candle Magick Kit instructions that came with candles), your petition is that there is fighting, distaste, discord, repugnance, whatever you would like to happen between these two people. Then get your Black Mummy candle going (again, as per the specific instructions for that candle!) 

    Now, turn the brown candles so that they are facing AWAY from each other. Do your Black Mummy petitions that they will turn away from each other now and forever never to look back! 

    Stobbornaway

    Let the candles burn for however long you would like to do the session (9 – 33 minutes). IMPORTANT –  at NO TIME do you mention yourself or put yourself into the petiton in any way – no “leave Susie and come to me, Judy” – just “leave Susie”  or "turn away from so and so" or whatever your petition is. Petition for HD to come to you in some other work. This work is simply to drive apart someone interfering with you  and your HD.  Also, at NO TIME are you angry or upset with your HD! You are simply using this candle to get him/her away from this intruder.

    Hope you find this helpful! Any questions, just ask!!!

    Love

  • We Shall Overcome!

    We Shall Overcome

     

    Hi there!

    This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun!  To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.  In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.

    We Shall Overcome

    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Here we are not afraid
    We are not afraid
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Here we shall overcome some day.

  • Readings during castings? Why not?

    3cards

    Hey there!

    Below are some very wise words from our dear, dear late Sister Candelaria. This is a topic we see come up from time to time, and every once in a while, I think it bears repeating.  This is not directed at any one in particular (as Sister says below).  But it is important information everyone should know 🙂

    ***Begin post****

    The reason why we ask you not to have readings while you are casting, is quite simple. When you are actually casting a spell on someone or having one cast for you, the energy surrounding that person and the entire situation is all stirred up. Any time you read the energy around spellwork, during the casting process, you will get a turmoil of emotion. Spellwork stirs the pot, so to speak, and shakes things up. That's what it's crafted to do! Because of this, any time you get a reading during spellwork the reading will not be accurate. It's just a simple fact. I have had some people tell me recently (I'm not pointing fingers, I've heard this more than once.) that they got a reading during spellwork and it was accurate because they were told what they expected to hear, such as "your HD is blocking" or "your HD has no emotion toward you." Even though you were willing to take that as an accurate answer, I'm here to tell you that it was NOT AN ACCURATE ANSWER, because that person was in the midst of receiving your spellwork, thus their emotions were all twisted and  turned around!! Now, those are pretty mild for a reading during spellwork. Other examples of readings during spellwork are "your HD doesn't like you," or "your HD wants you to just go away and leave  im alone,"or even "I don't think you and your HD will be together." THOSE ARE NOT ACCURATE READINGS EITHER, yet if someone tells you that about your HD, you are going to believe it!! So you would take that information, thinking it was correct, and you would process it over and over again in your heart and in your mind and you would start to have negative (hurt) feelings about your HD and it would basically break your heart. This in turn will cause real damage to your case, simply because you are putting negative energy toward it. But here's the kicker…THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT TRUE, YET YOU TOOK IT TO HEART, AND YOUR SPELLWORK IS NOT EVEN FINISHED YET!!! You've taken a step toward destroying something that you have not even completed yet. That's not constructive, my friends! In fact, that's destructive and I have seen it hurt cases that could have had a swift and successful end. So basically what I'm saying is, that even though it sounds like a good idea, GETTING A PSYCHIC READING DURING SPELLWORK IS NEVER AN OPTION. It's not fair to you, it's not fair to your HD, and it's not fair to your case. It's destructive, and it really can do serious damage to your case. Mambo has set down these rules to help you. I know it's hard, but I can tell you that if you play by the rules Mambo has set forth, you have much greater chance of getting your Heart's Desire, and isn't that why you are here in the first place.:-) So, as far as getting psychic readings during spellwork…Please DON'T DO IT!! We want you all to get your HD! Help us, help you.
