  • ~~ Merry Christmas ~~

    And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling
    and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without
    tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled
    ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t
    before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store? What if
    Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?
                           ~~~~ Dr Seuss
    Wishing you all a whole lot of a little bit more this Christmas.
    Much Light and Love,

  • First Day of Winter.

    Happy Winter Everyone!

    If we had no winter, spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not
    sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome

              -Anne Bradstreet

    While winter is by far NOT my favorite season, this quote reminded me of something I say to clients all the time….. That the only way out is THROUGH! What waits on the other side makes it all worth while.

    Happy Solstice Everyone!
    Light and Love

  • Easy Rum Cake!

    Hey!

    I have got to share this Rum Cake recipe with you! It is sooooooooo easy (and tasty, too!)

    ~

    1 package yellow cake mix

    1 package instant vanilla pudding mix

    1/2 cup rum

    1/2 cup water

    1/2 cup oil

    1 cup chopped pecans

    ~

    Steps:

    1. grease and flour a bundt cake pan

    2. preheat oven to 325 degrees F

    3. mix wet ingredients in a bowl

    4. add in cake mix and pudding mix

    5. mix well

    6. sprinkle about half the chopped pecans in the bundt pan

    7. pour in half the batter

    8. sprinkle the rest of the pecans

    9. pour in rest of batter

    10. bake 40-50 minutes until done

    ~

    Now, if you are serving this to real live people, you can mix up a nice little glaze of melted butter, sugar and rum. If you are serving this up at a Cocktail Hour or as an offering of some sort, then you might want to do what I do and cut to the chase and just pour straight rum on the cake. (We all know who loves caked soaked with rum 🙂 )

    ~

    This really is easy! If you give it a try, post a comment below and let me know how it went!

  • JuJu!

    Hey All,

    Alot of folks have been writing me since the convention asking me what a JuJu is and what it looks like. A JuJu is the first initiatory rattle that is accepted by the initiate.

    MaPere hand made the JuJus (mine and Sister Candi’s) The part that makes the noise is comprised of JuJu beans (hence the name) strung into one end of a piece of bamboo. MaMere has blessed and protected the JuJus for us.

  • My Spellmaker Story

    Hi!

    I have gotten several emails in the last 2 weeks asking me about my story with Spellmaker, how I became a caseworker, how much sucess have I had working with these products.

    I came to Spellmaker just like most all of you did — I was looking for help. I had just been thru an ugly break up with a long term boyfriend (actually it was the THIRD time he’d broken up with me) and I was desperate for some way to work things out. My caseworker was Orleanna (Honor to her!) and she was very patient and answered my questions, and talked me thru *many* months of castings, waiting, and casting again. But, no matter how hard I tried, my case just didnt budge. I didnt understand it. I was sooooo certain that I could make this work (again). But I couldnt, and it didnt. It took me a long time to accept that fact, even tho I didnt (at that time) understand it. Fast forward about 2 years. I bump into someone who was a mutual friend of my HD and myself. We are chatting while on line at the grocery store, and he says to me "Hey- did you hear (HD) is getting out next month?" . "Getting out of where?" I asked. "Jail! Didnt you know? He’s been in jail for the last year and a half".  I was shocked. I wont say here what he had gone to jail for, but it was something pretty awful. Actually, it was hideously bad. I was suddenly overcome with such a sense of relief, realising for the first time, how truly bad this man had been for me, and how trashed my life could have become had I remained entanged with him.

    I was very lucky to have a wonderful man enter my life not too long ago. He is, hands down, the most perfect  person I could find to share my life with. He is *nothing* like my original HD. He values the same things that I do, he is caring and warm and thoughtful and treats me with dignity and respect. None of these things did I have in my first relationship. None. Now, this new guy didnt come completely baggage free (I dont think anyone alive over 30 can be baggage free….) but nothing that a little healing work couldnt help 🙂  Anyway, my message here is that even tho things can get confusing and frustrating and make no sense at all, TRUST that things will work out for your best interest. I know how hard that can be to see, or understand, when you are hurting and scared and just want what you want….. but these spells will never ever bring you something bad for you. And if you cant see it right away, I promise that you will see it someday.

    Thank you, Mambo Sam!

    I have also had very good results with the Lots A Luck and Big Money Kits. Just as one example, I did these kits last winter, asking for enough money to put a roof on my house and to replace my old vehicle with a newer one. I was able to to both of these things this summer.

    And one more thing — I just have to say that the Courthouse Power spell totally ROCKS! I also got incredible results from this kit.

    So, that is a brief summary of some of my spellcasting escapades. Which leaves the question of how I became a caseworker.

    After having worked with Mambo Sam and her products for several years, having used everything in the catalog at least once 🙂 one day I received an email from Mambo asking me if I would be interested in being a caseworker. I was shocked and greatly honored all in the same moment. After thinking it over for about, um, 2 seconds, I sent an email back with a big "YES!" and immediatley went into training. I worked really closely with Mambo Sam and Orleanna for several months before I took on my very own first case. And that, as they say, is that!

    Mambo Sam told me a long time ago that people are drawn to Voodoo for a multitude of reasons. I believe my reason for being drawn here is to be of service. To help others as Mambo Sam and Orleanna helped me.

    Light and Love
