    Missing Someone?
    by Mambo Samantha Corfield

    Hi, everyone! So what about, "I miss you!" I was looking over some correspondence from an old friend and throughout it, she kept saying, "I miss you!" It made me think, does anyone ever say that when they are petitioning in a love spell for someone to return to them? Just plain old, "I miss you."

    When I was re-reading some of these old letters, I realized that I really got a little pang in my heart as my friend repeated that she missed me. I missed her, too. Even though I already realized it, her verbalization of it made me realize it even more.

    I certainly believe that if you are using something such as a love doll, which makes for a direct link to the person you are working on, telling them that you miss them, you miss their touch, you miss the times when you_______________(whatever you want to say), has the potential for having a great impact on them!

    Everyone wants to feel as if they are missed when they are away. Even if you have no contact with your love (or maybe especially if you have no contact with your love), reminding them through your love spell work, that you MISS them, you miss your time together, you miss his/her voice, etc., just has to have positive effect on them. Second, I think this is something we might often forget to say. We get so wrapped up in doing love spell work and sending and receiving love energy, that something as simple as, "I miss you" might elude us. 😉

    So try it! For those of you whom I haven't seen in awhile – I miss you! Never forget that! I really, truly do. I wish we were together more often. 🙂

    Love, light, and peace,

  • Are you afraid to love completely?

    Afraid to Love Completely?
    by Mambo Samantha Corfield

    Very often my clients tell me that they are "afraid to love" completely. Now, of course, we all fear being hurt. Many of us will hold back and not give ourselves fully into loving someone at first. We want to wait… we want to see if our feelings are returned. Putting it out there fully and completely is quite scary!

    However… and this is a BIG however, if you are doing love spell work and yet you are afraid to give your heart completely then you may be running a very real risk of sabotaging your own spell work!

    Think about this: If you are approaching the relationship you are trying to get or fix with fear, holding some of your feelings back, and being afraid that you might get hurt, then what kind of energy are you putting into your spell work? What you put into your spell work is most often what you get out of it. If you are putting fear and holding back your love because you might get hurt, then that is likely what you will get back.

    Perfect love spell work must be done in perfect love. Now, spell work doesn't have to be perfect to work for you! Hey, we all make mistakes, and there is a certain level of "accident forgiveness" built into our spell work. However, it is really important to think about how YOU are feeling towards the relationship you are trying to be in. Are you angry? Are you afraid? Are you afraid to truly love that person because you may never get them? What if I told you that you may never get the because you are afraid to truly love them???

    There are those among us who feel like it is not worth it to fully love someone. It is too risky. We might get hurt. We might get dumped. We might not get that love returned to us. However, if you are not willing to take the risk then you can never reap the wonderful, incredible, dizzying rewards of truly being in love. The old saying that, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" is just so true.

    There is no more powerful emotion than love. If you are not willing to allow yourself to experience it, even if it seems one-sided right now, then you are doing yourself (and your spell work) a terrible disservice.

    If you feel that perhaps you have been this person, I would like to suggest that you do something about it! 🙂 There is no point in getting upset if this has been you. Instead, make yourself the promise to no longer be that person! If you have been deeply afraid or angry or half-hearted in allowing yourself to love the person you want to be in a relationship with, then I am going to suggest that you do something such as Erzulie Freda's Love Bath or perhaps some pink gender candles (in the gender of each of you – you and the person you want to be with) and ask that you allow yourself to feel this love again! Petition that you will not be a blockage to your own feelings of love, that even though right now those feelings might be bittersweet, you will allow yourself to feel them, relish them, wallow in them! THEN start back on your spell work or adjunct work – whatever you are working on right now.

    Think of doing something like your love doll with the pulsing ecstasy of love that truly beats in your heart for your special person! Even if you feel like your love is one-sided right now, love is still a positive emotion! Allow yourself to feel it, really feel it, and then go do a love doll session or a candle session.

    Trust me, I know that this can be a painful journey sometimes. But don't sabotage it by not allowing yourself to fully commit to the love that you want. Your love is real, so really feel it!

    Love, light, and peace,

  • Erzulie Freda! By Mambo Sam

    Erzulie Freda

    Image of Erzulie Freda Dahomey by Saundra Elise Ziyatdinov.  

    Erzulie Freda is the Vodou and New Orleans Voodoo goddess of love. A gracious, luxurious, and refined lwa (Vodou Spirit), Erzulie epitomizes femininity, love, passion, and is called upon for favors regarding one's love affairs. However, Erzulie Freda is love of every kind; she is not limited to romance. She is often misrepresented as petulant and never being able to be satisfied. This does a gross injustice to this beautiful spirit. The fact that she often dissolves into tears is misinterpreted as her being dissatisified with what is given to her. That is not it at all; she dissolves into tears because she knows that no amount of material wealth can make up for the lack of love and spirituality in one's life. So even though she is often served in luxury, upon appearance at Vodou rituals, she is often wracked with tears eventually. It is important to remember, also, that she cries so that you won't have to. Another misrepresentation of Erzulie is that she is flighty and unable to stay with one man. This misinformation comes from the knowledge of her three marriages; once to Ogoun, once to Agwe, and once to Papa Legba (a belief in our New Orleans tradition; in Haitian tradition her third husband is Damballah). The three gold rings that most Erzulie altars have on them represent these three marriages. However, we must remember that these three marriages probably took place over lifetimes. It is sometimes hard for us to conceive of the many lives of the lwa and how long they have been with us!  

    Serving Erzulie Freda

    As with most lwa, she is a complex spirit having lived many lifetimes to evolve to her present state. She, of course, has happy, wonderful, flirty appearances, also. She does love refined things and wants to drink the finest champagne and eat the finest foods (especially delicious sweets and chocolates). She loves frilly, girly things and dresses in beautiful clothes of silk and lace. She loves diamonds and gold..anything that represents wealth and finery! She knows these things do not make up for the sorrows of life, but enjoying these things eases the pain for many of us! Erzulie is no different!

    Many people are afraid to do service to Erzulie Freda if they don't have much money. That is such an injustice to her! Yes, she loves refined and expensive things; that is not in question. However, just because you don't have a lot of money does not mean you should not serve her. We are firm believers that any service done with a good heart and doing the best you can will be well received. 
     

    Luxury can be a state of mind and an environment can be luxurious without being expensive. So first start thinking of the space that you will be doing your service in. If you purchased the one-day ritual kit or plan on doing the ritual as written on the website make whatever area you will be doing your service in as lovely as you can! Even if you temporarily use one of your own bed sheets as an altar cloth, that is okay because you can spray your perfume on it and make it something special. Set the mood for the ritual with any candles you have and put on romantic music or tune your radio to a soft rock or other type of station that plays the kind of music that would set the mood for romance. Do you have jewelry? You can put it on the altar and "give" it to Erzulie! That doesn't mean you can't wear it! Of course you can, but if you dedicate it to her, then you have given her something wonderful. Do you have old magazines lying around? Cut out pictures of beautiful things – jewelry, clothes, perfume, etc. Make a simple collage out of them and put them on your altar for her!

    In Service,

  • Potioning!

    voodoo love potion
    Hello everyone!

    Potioning!  Is that a word?  It really isn't, but I was working on potions and it made me think of our dearly departed Khouzhan Orleanna!  Older customers will remember her for sure – she was the original caseworker, my dear friend, and just an all around crackerjack!

    She loved ALL Miss Fannie Belle's Potions!  She kept all of them around and like a current hot sauce commercial says she, "put that sh*t on everything!" 😉

    Seriously, besides all the regular uses of the potions, she used it as her cologne, as her bath oil, as her skin softener (she mixed some potion in with baby oil and used it for her skin), and everything else she could think of.  Depending on what she was feeling like she needed that day, love, luck, money, etc., she used some potion every single day!  Some days two or three different ones depending on what was going on.  She called it "potioning."

    I can't ever work on potions without thinking of my dearly departed friend and how she remains with us here at Spellmaker through her wit, friendship, love, and customers.  I loved how she used our products and was so creative in her usages. 

    So next time you are using one of our potions (or other products) remember to get creative. You, too, can be potioning!

    Love, light, and peace,

  • Why is My Case SO Different?

    Hello, everyone!

    So, why IS your case so different?  I get asked this question every now and again! Usually it because the case is taking a long time, or we have had to do a combination of things, or because we, frankly, aren't seeing any results.  People read testimonials of other clients and wonder why they aren't seeing those kinds of results for themselves!

    A very dear and sweet client has just recently asked me the very same thing!  Why, out of thousands of cases over the last 20 years of Spellmaker, is hers so different that we aren't really seeing any results?

    My first answer to that is often, "…yet."  :-)  One of the first answers is time – as much as I would love to force everyone to immediately respond to my spell work, I know why that is a very bad idea.  Hollywood will explain to you why forcing spell work is a bad idea.  Of course, they will give you a highly-dramatized reason as to why, but you get the idea.  Forcing with spell work=nothing good for you!  So sometimes the answer is just time… it isn't that you aren't going to see results, we just haven't seen them yet.

    Second, and this is a hard one, I see more and more that people are dealing with various mental and emotional disorders.  This is very different than about 12 years ago; I am not sure why.  But, I see it a lot more now than I did in the past.  Is it diet? Food? Vitamin deficiencies?  Chemicals? Media stimuli? Pollution?  Heck if I know, but know I see many, many more people who are being worked on with spell work coming up with various disorders.  Sometimes my client is able to tell me that, yes, they know the person has something and is being treated.  But a lot of times they don't know.  Long story short:  It is sometimes difficult to get spell work results with someone who is dealing with a psychological disorder of some kind.  Now, I am saying difficult, NOT impossible.  It is just that I am finding more and more that it makes it a much longer and difficult haul!  However, the rewards of getting success in these cases are immense!  Often it means that we have done healing work that focused on the person getting the help they needed and that is exactly what happened!  Once the proper help was in place, voilà, we saw our results!

    I think this second one is one of the most difficult ones simply because there is such a process between feeling like someone doesn't love you and realizing that it is more that they have a disorder. It is hard for us to process that information objectively because we are feeling hurt, abandoned, and, often, angry.  Then, I will come along and tell you to "play nice" because spell work is in play!  I know!  Frustrating!  But, rest assured, even though sometimes it takes a lot of hard work and time, we do get results despite peoples' disorders. Not always!  But, yes, sometime we do!

    Third, your case is complicated by multiple people, places, and things!  I find this is a rather new development as well.  I feel that as we are more and more bombarded with media, stimuli, opinions, Fox News(!), and such, the harder it is to get someone to focus on us the way we want them to!  This is a 21st century challenge to spell work!  And, again, I feel like it slows spell work results down to a crawl sometimes!  We are jumping up and down with candles and incense screaming, "Hey, look over here… someone loves you!"  This rather new challenge to spell work also adds another layer to why your case is so different, though it is becoming more the norm than a case being different!

    Fourth, and as always, there is the sad truth that sometimes things just don't work out.  It isn't your fault.  It isn't our fault.  It isn't, in fact, anyone's "fault."  There are times in life when so-called failures are our destiny.  Even with our best efforts and yours, failure IS an option.  Believe me, I am all about positive thinking and believing in one's self and efforts.  But the cold hard truth is failure is always an option.  But in those cases, I often do not see it as failure.  We learned something along the way.  We grew. We became friends.  We walk away knowing that we tried our very best. Those are the things no one can take away from us.  While that may seem like hollow comfort, believe me, when you look back, even if we supposedly "failed" you will see that the path of good spell work always has a reward. 

    Still despite the idea of failure, we still have about an 87-90% success rate!  And that's an honest assessment (not one of those stupid, " we have 100% success rate" deals – believe me, no one has a 100% success rate!).  

    If you are in the category of waiting for results and feeling disheartened,  I would be willing to bet that unless you are in a very small percentage of folks, you just haven't seen your results….yet!

    Love, peace, and joy,

    Mambo Sam

  • Punching the alien.

    Insp_diplomacy_preview

    Happy Monday, everyone!

     I hope that each and every one of you had a great weekend.  :-)  Okay so besides the obvious humor of the picture above, it really did get me thinking a lot about how some of my clients approach their spell work.  Nice folks have a tendency to do "nice" spell work – I never see them punch the alien in the face! Unfortunately, that doesn't always get the best result.  Sometimes the alien needs a punch in the face. Now of course I am speaking metaphorically, but all the time I get Heart's Desire letters that are so sweetly and nicely written but I don't feel the fire, the passion, the real HEART'S DESIRE.  In other words, sometimes I think your petitions are written just too politely.

    Now that is not to say that a politely, nicely-written petition won't work, but every once in awhile, if your case is a difficult one, you might need to punch the alien in the face!  Get stronger in your wording, don't be afraid to shout from the spiritual rooftops what you want, how you want it, and when you want it.

    Polite always has a place in this world.  However, sometimes, you need to be stronger, get grittier, and down and dirty and tell us how you really feel. 😉

    Love,light, and peace,

  • Speaking of September Rituals!

    Hello friends and family!

    Thank goodness Khouzhan Lucy's post reminded me of  The Chinese Harvest Moon Festival!  This fun festival is easily celebrated by a party of one (or more) and ties right in with love spell work!

    I made  a  page about it several years ago:

     http://voodooboutique.typepad.com/mambosam/chineseharvestmoon.html

    It gives you all the history of the festival, how it relates to finding the love of your life (or petitioning if you have someone in mind!), and just the general beauty and tradition of this day.

    I think it is a great celebration whether you are involved in a love case or not! We all need more love in this life, this world! So petitioning for love and good wishes for yourself and others is a great thing.

    I would love to see any pictures you take, especially if you incorporate any love spell work with it!

    Love,

    Mambo Sam, www.spellmaker.com

  • Are you missing someone?

    Hello everyone,

    Hope your Monday has been going well!  Lately I have been missing folks!  Some of them are gone from this earthly realm and I miss them in very particular ways.  But most of them are still here with me in the physical sense!  I try to always tell them that I miss them, want to see them, etc.  Today I was feeling particularly like I was missing some folks in my life and it made me remember a post I wrote some time back.  

    I thought I would repost it for two reasons:  

    1.  If you are missing someone and you cannot see them for some reason, but you can talk – let them know you miss them!

    2.  If you are missing someone, like a person you have been doing spell work on, and you cannot tell them outright that you miss them – read the post below! 😉


    ————————–

    Hello everyone!
