  • Cookie Therapy!

    Hello!

    On my recent trip to visit MaParents (Marran and Parran Corfield), day 1 of my trip consisted of some time to kick back and relax and undergo some cookie therapy. WHAT?? you say! What is cookie therapy? Well…..the dictionary definition of therapy is -  treatment of physical, mental, or behavioral problems that is meant to cure or rehabilitate somebody. And let me tell you, cookie baking and decorating can cure ALOT of things!

    ABQSpring2011 001 Start with a clean workspace…..
    ABQSpring2011 002 Bake some cookies…..
    ABQSpring2011 008 Pick your colors, piping or flooding (I learned all about frosting the fancy way! Tho I think Martha Stewart's job is safe with me around….)
    ABQSpring2011 026 PURDY!
    ABQSpring2011 025 And not so purdy, but rather cathartic cookies.
    ABQSpring2011 027 Cookies for the Lwa 🙂

    And there you have it – Cookie therapy while on vacation the Albuquerque way.

  • Update on Gran Bwa Trees!

    Hi there,

    Those of you at the 2010 Spellmaker Voodoo Conference watched as Parran Matt, Mambo Sam and myself planted 3 tress in honor of Gran Bwa. After an unusually cold New Mexican winter, these little trees have come back and are doing very well! Ayibobo! This picture was taken about a month ago, so the trees have greened up even more now.

    If you missed the conference, it has been saved online! Please see http://www.spellmaker.com/VoodooConvention/AVC2010REG.htm for details.

    Love,

  • Check out the Moon tonight….It is SuperSized!

    Tonight, the moon will be closest to the Earth than it has been in the last twenty years! If you get a chance tonight, go out and  take a look 😉 If it is warm enough where you are, sit a few minutes and contemplate the meaning of life! It should be a really awesome sight!

    And tomorrow, of course, HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!

  • Songs for Sobo! What is your favorite?

    With our Spellmaker Family's Annual Sobo Prosperity Ritual approaching, naturally our favorite little Sobo song pops in our heads 🙂 What other songs might we play during this ritual? Remember, Sobo is considered one of the lwa of the sky and is said to control lightning, thunder, and rain. Bade is considered to control the wind. Together, they have control of the elements of nature. Due to their elemental powers, they are often called upon to help us feel secure! Think of terms such as "raining money," "pennies from heaven," etc.

    Here are a few to start us off…..

    Money for Nothing- Dire Straights

    Pay Me My Money Down- Springsteen

    Then, one of my all time favorites, the Money Song by Monty Python 🙂

    Do you have a favorite song about money? Post yours here and you may win a prize!

    The Money Song by Monty Python

    I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas.
    I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.
    I've got lots of lovely lire.
    Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer,
    And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

    There is nothing quite as wonderful as money.
    There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
    Some people say it's folly,
    But I'd rather have the lolly.
    With money you can make a splash.

    There is nothing like a newly minted pound.

    Money, money, money, money.

    Everyone must hanker
    For the butchness of a banker.
    It's accountancy that makes the world go 'round.

    You can keep your Marxist ways,
    For it's only just a phase,
    For it's money, money, money makes the world go 'round.

    …Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, moneeeeey!

  • Prayer Group for Pets!

    Hi There,

    Over the years I have been working with our Spellmaker family clients, I have received many prayer requests, and often they are for the pets of a client or one of their friends or family members. Lately, the numbers of requests has been increasing! So I am forming a prayer list just for this need. This year, I have been working more and more with Gran Bwa, so be sure he will be involved in the process, along with our dear, sweet Papa Legba. More information will be available soon, but requests for prayers can be submitted now to prayforpets@spellmaker.com 

    Peace and Love

    For each new morning with its light,
    For rest and shelter of the night,
    For health and food,
    For love and friends,
    For everything Thy goodness sends.
