Love Doll 411! Tips and Tricks for Love Doll Use!
A Voodoo Love Doll is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal! Here's the 411 on the subject of love doll use (deluxe or regular – doesn't matter):
Never, ever do your love doll when you are in any way feeling negative about your HD.
You must be feeling positive, loving, supportive and very much in love with your HD otherwise what are you sending them????? If you don't feel like doing a doll session, then don't. It isn't mandatory to do them any set number of days, times, or sessions. You should always approach the love doll like you are going out on a date with your HD. đ You should be happy, positive, and excited that you are going to talk with th
Talk to your doll as if it were your HD.
Don't always ask for something (a call, to return to you, etc.). Instead, some of the sessions simply use the doll to send your love, your support for any troubled times that s/he might be going through, the message that the door is always open, etc.). Indeed, you can and should use your doll part of the time to ask for all that you are willing to give to be returned, but it is an extremely good tool to use simply to send warm and fuzzy feelings.
If it seems to you that your HD is "overwhelmed" then make your love doll sessions a little more casual. Do the ritual as instructed, however, maybe just talk about some fun times that you have had in the past or tell your HD what happened to you that day, something like that. Remember, it is YOUR energy that is getting through to your HD – so careful what you send; if you send pain, chaos, resentment, etc., that is most likely what your HD will receive and probably return to you.
Whether you are using a deluxe love doll or a regular love doll, you are still sending some pretty powerful information out there, so make it count and make it good. (And really the difference in whether you use a deluxe or a regular love doll is mainly based on your HD; if they are a stubborn cuss, then deluxe in the way to go; if they are more easy going, then regular is the way to go!) Truthfully, I think that everyone who is working on love spells should use a love doll if they can. (Financial and living concerns come first, that is why I say use if it you can.) That doll can be your best friend, your open pipeline of communication to your HD, and a powerful tool to send and receive the right kind of messages with your HD.
And, lastly, a little bit of common sense goes a long way: Think about what you really and truly want your HD to be thinking of you, think of how you want things to remind him/her of you, think of how you want him/her to be picturing you and put that into your doll.

Readings during castings.
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 đ
***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
him 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.

Intelligent Waiting.
"Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hey there!
Because I knew if I titled this post "Patience" no one would read it!
Really đ This is a topic I address with almost every client at one time or another. And it is PERFECTLY understandable to find waiting difficult. I totally get it. I have been there. We have paid our money, we have done the work, we have already been waiting a minute or two, and well, we want what we asked for and we would like it now, please. It is no help that we live in a world full of instant downloads, video on demand, 30 minute pizza delivery and microwaveable everything. We are slowly becoming conditioned to forget how to comfortably wait for things.
Spell work, on the other hand, knows not of Domino's and iTunes. It is a process, an Art, which requires time and patience. Time to be completed and Patience to unfold.
I came across this article – Patience, the art of intelligent waiting – and wanted to share it. I like that is talks about how impatience makes us feel – and how intelligent waiting can help us feel better. I like that it gives practical steps on how to develop more patience in all areas of our lives. I hope you find a few gems in this article for yourself đ

To my soulmate…..
Hello,
I came across this article just yesterday online. It addresses something which Mambo Sam has said, well, forever, which is this more than one person (some call it soul mates) for each of us. I believe many of us have experienced that strong moment of recognition of another person that is almost indescribable. You feel as if you know them, I mean really know them, and yet how can that logically be when your first glimpse of him/her was just a moment ago?
Imagine if there were truly only one person we were supposed to meet up with while here on Earth. How long would the odds be that first, we would actually find them… it is a big planet, after all. And then if we do find them, that they are available? And that we are also available? And then that there is no cultural or economic or other issue which is not getting in the way? See where this is going?
With that in mind, it makes sense to me that we have multiple opportunities to love in this life. Because, as the author sums up so well…
"It is powerful to acknowledge these soulmates and thank them for the small reminder that in this massive, swallowing world we are never without the possibility of love."
Hope you enjoy the article!
Love,
Sister Bridget
To my Soulmate which I choose not to love
by Janne Robinson
I have a theory that we have multiple âones.â
That there is not just one soul reserved for us to love, learn and go deep with.
This was a hard lesson to learn, meeting my first soulmate, oneâwhat have you, and realizing I wasnât going to spend the rest of my life with him.
I remember grieving the day he got engaged, because in a hopeful, stubborn way part of my heart had refusedâuntil that momentâto believe he wasnât my forever person.
He was on the wishful back burner of my heart.
I called my mother, in tears and she told me that he still was my person. He still was a one. He was still my soul mate.
I realized that just because he wasnât my forever didnât invalidate his importance in my life and our connection.
Our connection has remained something incredibly significant, something I fall back upon in my heart when I need to.
When I need to remember exactly what I want in a partner, I remember what a staggering soul he isâand I wait.
I want to talk today about the other âones,â the soulmates we may meet while we are single or in a relationship that we donât end up with.
That we have a sure fire connection with, real as anyâbut because of timing we donât always go deep with.
I think it is incredibly mature to, without shame, acknowledge that in our lifespan we will bump into handfuls of succulent souls we want to take a bite out of.
Whether we are single, in a relationship, engaged or married we will run into other ones.
I also donât think acknowledging these connections means we love our partners or want to be in our relationship lessâit just means thereâs a f*ck ton of souls/lovers on this planet we could dance with/learn from.
They are the ones we meet in a coffee line-up, the one beside us in our yoga class, the guy at the bbq whoâs engaged.
Itâs the ones we meet and feel an undeniably powerful connection.
A connection that leaves us wanting to know more.
I think we make a choice, whether we engage in these connections.
These words are for the ones we meet and donât explore.
The ones we love fully but donât spend the rest of our lives with.
Those we run into at the grocery store and never see again.
The lovers we never take apart with our lips.
The partners we donât open to and go deep with.
The people we donât have a chance to have a first soul dip with.
The soul mates we skip coffee with, and look over our shoulderâfor just a slight moment and wonder about.
The connections that exist that are missed, by choice.
Because we are involved, because they are unavailable, because one is simply not ready for love.
These ones are just as important as the foreverâfor we are here to connect, and what a gift to know that there are endless humans to open our hearts to and dance with.
What a treat to grow with multiple souls in a lifespan, or to simply know there are others out there who want to grow with us.
It is powerful to acknowledge these soulmates and thank them for the small reminder that in this massive, swallowing world we are never without the possibility of love.

A new look at Ancestor Service.
As Vodouisants, calling on, feeding, and honoring our ancestors is something we are very familiar with. Our Ancestors are a part of us; they are with us and around us always. Ancestors can be called on as a group, or individually. It is fairly traditional to hold an Ancestor service one a year, but they can be held anytime at all. Just yesterday I was at one of my favorite spots in a local cemetery, and came across this site***
The family and friends of this departed little boy had held his tenth birthday party for him. At first, a wave of sadness passed through me. But after a moment, I realized the people at this party were far from sad. I could see them decorating with streamers, laughing and joking, sharing stories about their little one, but also telling stories to him. I am certain there was a cake with candles, balloons, presents (which were left here with him) and punch. He was very much a participant in his own celebration.
Even though this young person passed before many of those in his family, he is still of their blood, and thus, now an Ancestor. The openness and joy in this birthday party was, for me, very moving. It has given me much to consider (or reconsider) about the âroutineâ my own service has fallen into. I plan on shaking things up a bit next time around!

Words of Wisdom from Mambo !
Hi there-
As I was hunting through some old files just now, looking for something completely different, I ran across this post by Mambo Sam from back on the old Yahoo! forum! (Remember when….. hee hee) Anyhow, it seemed relevent to a few folks I have spoken to this week, so I decided to dust it off and repost it đ
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy some warm summer sun!

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, SELF SABOTAGE, AND MORE
Hello everyone,
I wanted to post a few words here (which I have done before) about
certain people immediately jumping to conclusions about their heart's
desire, self-sabotaging their own work, and not giving spell work its
due time.
Sorry, (Yahoo! forum name redacted!) you get to be my guinea pig for this post, but
believe me you are in excellent company! :-)
So you saw your HD's car at her current boyfriend's house, or his at
her's or whatever: So the immediate conclusion is that the spells
aren't working (which are barely finished, by the way), they MUST be
getting closer, I'm going to tell her off/cut her off from the one
real contact I have with her (really bad idea), etc., etc. Folks,
this is so common of a reaction that it isn't even funny anymore.
I have posted many times about how spell work ebbs and flows, how the
target of the spell work has to come to some conclusions on their
own, how sometimes the couple you are trying to break up seems to get
closer - because that is what needs to happen for them to see just
how bad they are for each other.
When you choose the path of spell work, you are choosing to do
something proactive in your case. Additionally, you now carry the
burden of knowledge and patience. YOU know about they spell work,
THEY don't (hopefully, right?). With this knowledge comes
responsibility of allowing the process to happen in the way that is
best for all involved. This is a SPIRITUAL path, most of the rules
of the PHYSICAL world no longer apply. Yes, I said "most" - because
obviously some still do apply - we still live in the physical world,
after all.
However, too many of you are just very willing to shoot yourself in
the foot! If you are lucky enough to have any kind of cordial
contact with your heart's desire, why would you want to cut that off?
Because it is too "painful" for you? Well, obviously it was too
painful to be without them, thus you have embarked on a spiritual
path to your goal. This brings the responsibility of being the
bigger person. Spell work is not without responsibility to the spell
caster. This means that you have chosen to do both the spiritual
work and the physical work to try to obtain your goal.
Is there the possibility of failure? Yes, of course. But this is
true with any worthwhile endeavor - there is always the possibility
of failure. But failure after having tried your best is no shame;
with anything, if you have to walk away from it and you tried all you
knew to do, then you have not really failed at all. You made the
supreme effort.
Therefore, if you were willing to make the supreme effort, please be
willing to see it through. There is so much hyseteria over little
things lately that I wonder what some of you are thinking. I have
posted over and over again that there are ups and downs, there are
times when things seem to regress, this is a natural part of the
progress. Of course, it is normal to be disheartened or to feel
bad, but some of you seem to allow that to permeate your very soul.
Negativity is a very strong energy and as human beings, for whatever
reason, we seem to gravitate to it more readily than we do to
positive energy.
It's like I have told a couple of you during consultations, humans
will embrace the least little negative thing: Let's say you have a
new outfit and go to a party wearing it. 19 people tell you that you
look great in it; the 20th person you talk to says you look terrible
in the outfit. You will never wear it again. The 19 peoples' good
opinions are out the window; the 20th person's bad opinion sticks in
your head. So, negative energy is easy to embrace and we all do it;
it is a fight to embrace and stay positive. But, it is something you
should all strive to do. Quit being so ready to sabotage yourself at
every turn. Please.
Love,
Mambo Sam

Hand of an Angel.
Hello there!
Just a few days ago, I came across this statue of Saint Michael while browsing in a second hand store with Mambo Sam. There were several different statues. One was of Santo Nino de Atocha that I still may have to go back for! But, that day I left with Michael. I cleansed it a bit, and he has been sitting next to my computer when I am working for the past couple days. This morning, Mambo Sam tells me to get ready, that we are going to the cemetery to do some special work for a client. Just so happens that we were to be working with Archangel Michael! (No coincidences, right???) So, off we go to the cemetery, and about a third into the work, I feel this incredible pressure on the top of my head. Now, I often get funny feelings *in* my head when doing different things with the Lwa. I call it a "swimmy" kind of feeling – I bet a few of you out there know exactly what I am talking about đ But today, this was quite different. This was outside, right on the top of my head, and it was heavy. As Mambo was wrapping up her working, I asked her if her how her head was feeling. I described what I was experiencing, and Mambo replied "That is the hand of Michael. You have the hand of an Angel on you" just like that – and continued wrapping up her work. When we were finished, we sat for a few minutes before leaving. I can still feel a bit of an "echo" of that feeling even now, and when I think his name in my mind, the feeling intensifies again. There is so much about this world, and the next, that I have to hearn. I am so grateful that I have Mambo Sam and Parran Matt to guide me though this time. I am not sure what is coming next, or what today's events ultimatley mean for me, but I will keep you posted!

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:
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!
Let the candles burn for however long you would like to do the session (9 â 33 minutes). IMPORTANT – at NO TIME do you mention yourself or put yourself into the petiton in any way â no âleave Susie and come to me, Judyâ – just âleave Susieâ 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!!!

Gris Gris Bag Tips!
Hello!!
Dusting off another older post by dear, sweet, Orleanna đ This one is about different ways for using those all important gris gris bags after your castings are completed!
Love
Sister Bridget
Q: What are some ways I can use my gris-gris bag?
A: **When using a gris-gris bag, say the appropriate
chant for that bag aloud and then in your mind, focus
on what you want as it pertains to that spell. Here's
an example for someone who'd cast three spells and
wanted to know about using the gris-gris bags. Note:
Not all of the things I wrote as far as what to focus
on might pertain to your case - you'd focus on what's
applicable for your particular situation:
1. The gris-gris bag from the #5 Leave My Man Alone
Spell(tm). That spell was to banish any intruders and
also work on negative influences. So, when you chant
with the gris-gris bag, you can focus on his not
dating others and that his fears of marriage, fear of
commitment, fear of financial problems, etc., will be
soothed and he'll stop being so AFRAID to commit to
you.
2. The gris-gris bag from the #3 Love Me Again
Spell(tm). That spell was to rekindle his love for
you. When chanting with that gris-gris bag, focus on
his loving you deeply and realizing how much he does
love you.
3. The gris-gris bag from the #9 No One But Me
Spell(tm). That spell included for his making a
commitment to you and to make you the top priority in
his life. When chanting with that gris-gris bag, focus
that he'll commit in a relationship to you and make
you the top priority in his life.
Certainly, you can add other appropriate things to
focus on with each gris-gris bag - I was giving you
examples and the above examples were for a particular
situation but it gives you an idea.
As to me, I first cast those three love spells six
years ago. Those spells were how I first came to know
Rev. Kaye - they were the first magick I'd ever done.
Q: If Papa Alegba is the keeper of the gate, do you need to ask
hime to open the gate each time?
A: ** No, you don't need to ask Alegba to open the gates when you use the gris-gris bags.
(If you did, that would be included with the instructions about how to use the gris-gris bag.)
Q: When I petition with my gris gris bag, I ask for the Lois to help
me. I am not specific with which Lois I need. Is that ok? Do I have
to petition for a specific one to help me?
A: ** There's usually a preface with the incantation, like "Ogoun Badagris T'maidez" which
asks for Ogoun Badagris to help you. (In fact, when six years ago when I first started with
the love spells, the incantation didn't have a preface. The gris-gris bag is the connection.)
If you forget the preface, it's not the end of the world Each gris-gris bag is particular to
the Loi who helped you with that spell.
Q: Do our reflections have any power outside of spellwork, ie:
with the gris gris?
A: **Yes. Reflections with your gris-gris bag have power.
Q: Is there is a way to use the
gris-gris bags without having to do the chants out loud?
A: **The chants should be said aloud. Having said
that, that doesn't mean you have to talk in a loud
voice!
Try keeping your mouth almost closed (similar to a
ventriloquist) and whispering very softly! With
practice, you'll find you can do this without anybody
else around you really even realizing you're saying
anything! Also, remember that you're on a bus - most
people don't really pay close attention.
I've said chants (in the manner I described above) in
hospital rooms with 8 people around a bedside - and
nobody knew I was doing it.
Try practicing keeping your mouth almost closed - just
opening it a very small amount, enough to enunciate
with very softly whispering. Your lips really don't
move that much at all then and keep the whisper level
so low that anyone next to you can't really hear you.
And if anybody looks slightly askance at you, well,
it's a bus anyway - commuters get bored and I'm sure a
lot of people "talk to themselves" in some way!
Q: What's the best place to store the various gris-gris bags I have
from my spellwork? Currently I am storing them all in the same box
as my deluxe doll, except where specified per the spell
instructions.
A: **That is not a problem. You can keep all your Vodou stuff together
except those things that are specifically instructed not to do so.
Q: Since the doll is versatile and can be used interactively with
the gris-gris bags, can I also use the white male
candle during my session with the doll?
A: **Generally speaking, I tell people to allow 45 minutes between the
usage of products. However, the reason I tell them this is because
sometimes people want to mix up intentions and do it all in one
session, so it is easier to just make the 45 minute rule. However,
if the purpose is the same, and you feel okay about it - you can use
certain products together. The white candle with the doll is not a
problem.
For questions about any step in a spell or how to use an item from
a spell kit, please ask techsupport@spellmaker.com
Light and love,
Orleanna
