  • More about St. Patrick’s Day Ritual!

    Hello everyone!
    We are really excited to be doing the Sobo ritual again here for St. Patrick's Day. So many of you reported really excellent results with the one we did in December. (Time really flies; it seems like we just did it and here it is March!!)

    It is important to remember, though, that sometimes there are smaller results, or more long term results, that we forget to recognize. I had one client tell me that she did the Sobo ritual, but nothing happened. Then in the next moment she told me that over the last month or so she has had more clients in her business than she ever had before. 🙂 I did gently point this out to her and she said, "Oh, I didn't look at it that way." Of course, then she did see what I was talking about!

    Results from all rituals can often take some time. Sometimes circumstances have to be rearranged in the background where we never see that happening, so we think "nothing" is happening. Then, when something does happen, sometimes a couple of months down the line, we don't remember to give credit to that which we set in motion!

    In these economic times, that might be especially true of the Sobo ritual. Sure, of course, Sobo wants to help us all. But there need to be the circumstances in which to help us, or perhaps to sometimes help ourselves. Just like the dear client above, sometimes the results might come in ways that help us to help ourselves make more money. Perhaps an opportunity arises to improve your career or work extra or whatever might be possible in your particular circumstances.

    So, okay, all of us are not particularly likely to find a pot o'gold on St. Paddy's Day because we did the Sobo ritual. However, I bet if you are willing to see it, you will see some kind of result from it!

    Of course, to get a result, you have to do it! LOL. Or at least let us do it for you! It's fun. It's still free (unless you want to buy the kit).

    Go visit Sobo at www.spellmaker.com/sobo.htm and send us your ritual request! If you happen to be doing great financially and don't need to have us include you in the ritual, then think about sending in a request on behalf of someone else or just everyone else in general! Hey, there's good karma in that kind of thing, ya know!

    Love, light, and peace,

  • Quote for today…..

    “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
        ~~~~ Dr Seuss

    No one is more You than You! Today, do something just for You!~ I swear, sometimes clients can get so caught up in their cases, and all the drama and emotion that can sometimes go along with that, that they just lose track of who they are. So, today, in honor of Dr Seuss' birthday, everyone go out and do something just for you! Remember who you are, and be your own best friend!

  • Writing your Personal Mission Statement – stick to the basics

    Hi There!
    Earlier in the year, I posted about Personal Mission Statements. Basically, this is a paragraph of about 3 to 5 sentences, that reflects your core beliefs and goals for your life. Think of your mission statement as a living, breathing entity, that will change and grow as you change and  grow nd discover new things about yourself along your life's path. This is hardly something that is written in stone, but a work in progress, just as we are works in progress 😉 Below are some general guidelines to help get you started:

    1. Focus on the positive! Write your phrases as what you want to be , not about what you don't want to be. If you find you have written something negative, rephrase it in a positive manner.
    2. Think about the qualities, actions, characteristics and habits that you have in you that you admire, or that you would like to strive towards.
    3.
    Create a mission statement that will guide you in your
    day-to-day actions and decisions. Make it a part of your
    everyday life.
    4.Think about how your mission statement effects every area of your life – relationships, career, family, financial. Your mission statement is meant to bring balance into your life, and should positively effect every area of your life.
    5. Be sure to include an emotional component! Describe positively how you want to FEEL inside about your self and your life!
    6. Start with an affirmative word like "I will…." or "I am….."
    7. Take as much time as you need. Life is not a sprint, but a marathon.  Take some time in thoughtful reflection about who you are and where you are and what your goals are.

    Here are some phrases that you could possibly use to help you get started:

    "I will  live each day with …[ fill in the blank ]… so that …[what is your goal]. I will do this by …(put specific habits or behaviors here]."

    "I am known by …[ people in your life ]… as someone who is …[fill in the blank]…;  "

    Sooooo……give it a ripple, and if you like, post your statement in the comments section of this blog, and we can all work on them together, and help each other out.

    Light and Love

  • Voodoo Debt Eliminator!

    Since I am a former letter carrier I could not help but sharing this one.  (So that is why I have back trouble!)

  • Faith.

    In my duties as Parran of our House, I get asked a lot about the question of "faith."  How to keep the faith? What to do prove what you have faith in, etc.  I am no expert on faith, but I do know that life is pretty bleak if you have faith in nothing.  My wife, Mambo Sam, once said to me that it was really easy to have faith when things were going great, it is when things are going terrible and we need faith that we seem to have it the least. I couldn't agree with her more.  Good days bring great faith, but who needs faith on good days?  It's those bad days where we need our faith.

    Mightier writers than me have written a lot about faith and I thought I would share with you some of the quotes I have found.  I hope you enjoy them and keep them for those days when your faith is in short supply.

    Faith is like radar that sees through the fog.  ~Corrie Ten Boom, Tramp for the Lord

    Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right.  ~John Donne

    Faith is reason grown courageous.  ~Sherwood Eddy

    Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.  ~Kahlil Gibran

    Fear knocked at the door.  Faith answered.  And lo, no one was there.  ~Author Unknown

    If there was no faith there would be no living in this world.  We couldn't even eat hash with safety.  ~Josh Billings, His Complete Works, 1888

    Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.  ~E.M. Forster

    Faith is spiritualized imagination.  ~Henry Ward Beecher

    Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.  ~J.R.R. Tolkien

    Faith is courage; it is creative while despair is always destructive.  ~David S. Muzzey

    Faith is a passionate intuition.  ~William Wordsworth

    To me faith means not worrying.  ~John Dewey

    Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.  ~Ramona C. Carroll

    Every tomorrow has two handles.  We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark.  ~Rabindranath Tagore

    He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.  ~B.C. Forbes

    A faith of convenience is a hollow faith.  ~Father Mulcahy, M*A*S*H, "A Holy Mess," 1982

    Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.  ~Victor Hugo

    Faith makes things possible, not easy.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith is raising the sail of our little boat until it is caught up in the soft winds above and picks up speed, not from anything within itself, but from the vast resources of the universe around us.  ~W. Ralph Ward

    Faith… must be enforced by reason…. When faith becomes blind it dies.  ~Mahatma Gandhi

    Faith and doubt both are needed – not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.  ~Lillian Smith

    As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.  ~Emmanuel

    In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.  ~Blaise Pascal

    Faith enables persons to be persons because it lets God be God.  ~Carter Lindberg

    Weave in faith and God will find the thread.  ~Author Unknown

    A little faith will bring your soul to heaven, but a lot of faith will bring heaven to your soul.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel.  ~Author Unknown

    A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

    Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains…. But it can put mountains where there are none.  ~Friedrich Nietzche, Human, All Too Human, 1879

    Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.  ~George Seaton

    Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.  ~Martin Luther King Jr.

    Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.  ~Robert Collyer

    Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.  ~Author Unknown

    Life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live.  ~George Lancaster Spalding

  • Just a joke.

    Stealing Jacey's idea and telling a joke!  An elderly couple had been experiencing declining memories, so they decided to take a power memory class where one is taught to remember things by association.

    A few days after the class, the old man was outside talking with his neighbor about how much the class helped him.

    "What was the name of the Instructor?" asked the neighbor.

    "Oh, ummmm, let's see," the old man pondered. "You know that flower, you know, the one that smells really nice but has those prickly thorns, what's that flower's name?"

    "A rose?" asked the neighbor.

    "Yes, that's it," replied the old man. He then turned toward his house and shouted, "Hey, Rose, what's the name of the Instructor we took the memory class from?"

    🙂

  • Another laugh!

    Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
    really pissed.

    She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
    driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"

    The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
    up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
    gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

    Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
    the box back in the house.

    She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

    Bob has been missing since Friday.

  • SOBO RITUAL ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY

    Hello dear one!
    The wonderfully talented Ms. Berkeley came up with a great idea to do the Sobo Wealth and Security ritual again on St. Patrick's Day (March 17)! I think this is an awesome idea and even though Sobo is not traditionally associated with St. Patrick, I don't think that St. Patrick will mind if we are asking for the "the green" on his day! 🙂

    It does make perfect sense to do this ritual on St. Paddy's Day since wearing green and thinking about rainbows and pots o'gold are definitely in order!

    Now I know many of you already have the Sobo Ritual Pack that we used last time for the ritual. If you do, you can reuse the holy card and whatever you have left from the ritual pack. If you desire, you can purchase a whole new kit again. Or you can just do the free version of the ritual as it is outlined on the Sobo Page.

    We will again accept the petitions from you. Just go to the Sobo page and send us an email about your financial needs and they will be included in our ritual that we will do at the Spellmaker Office.

    Remember, we will be trying to work with the "group mentality" or Cosmic Consciousness again to try to send out and accept energy from each other.

    Many people reported wonderful results from the last time we did this Sobo Ritual together! 🙂 Many of you told us a lot of stories about how some really good things happened in your financial life after doing this ritual.

    So let's all get together and make St. Patrick's day our day to rake in the green!  Here's a great picture to focus on!  😉

    Love,
    Mambo Sam

  • He Hurt Me But I Want Him Back!

    Greetings everyone!

    Needless to say, every single day I deal with a situation, a spell casting, or a consultation which involves someone who has been hurt by someone else. Sometimes the hurt was unintentional,but still hurt like hell. Sometimes it was completely intentional and hurts like even deeper hell. But no matter what, the sad truth of what I do is dealing with peoples’ hurt, sorrow, trauma, and pain.


    Of course there are times when I look at someone’s case and wonder, “Why the heck does she want him back?” Or why does he want her back? Or whatever the gender… really that doesn’t matter much, actually!


    Nonetheless, it is my job to do what you, the client, asks me to do, and so that is what I try to do. BUT when is enough enough? When is the time to look at a situation and tell you that I think you are just punishing yourself, or that you don’t really want a relationship, or why would you let someone hurt you like that and then take them back? What are the criteria for doing that? Obviously, if I think someone is horrible for you and cannot ever be trusted again, I am going to tell you that. But what do you think?


    I am not here to answer the questions this time, I am here to ask them: What acts do you think are unforgiveable? At what point does a person not deserve for you to take them back? When would you just say NO to a person who wanted to return to you, even if you thought they had changed?


    I ask this because I want to reach out there and see what you all are thinking. Have the rules changed? I see lots of clients, women especially, who will take back someone who had done tremendous emotional damage to them. Granted, most of them want this man (or woman) to have healed and atone for what they have done. However, I wonder if they will really forgive them, even with the change. Can they really take them back? Is there that much forgiveness out there?


    I would love to hear your opinions on this!


    Love,

    Mambo Sam

  • The LaPlace’s of Our House

    It has taken me a little bit of time to get my thoughts together for blogging. One thing that I thought my be interesting is to write a little bit about the role of the “LaPlace” in our New Orleans Voodoo House.


    At our convention last year we had the great experience of appointing the two gentlemen who are now the LaPlace’s of our House. They did a great job and we look forward to the many years we are sure to have together.


    We didn’t have a lot of time to explain to everyone the exact role of the LaPlace. The LaPlace’s are still learning and will continue to do so as their service continues. But basically, the LaPlace’s, along with the father of the house (that’s me), are the guardians and protectors of the house.


    So first and foremost, the role of the LaPlace is to protect The House in every way possible. Historically this role was much more arduous than it is today. Literally, the LaPlaces physically guarded The House. The LaPlace was armed and ready to kill to protect The House. Rival “flag boys” as they were called (as they protected the flag of the house) were known to battle in elaborate rituals and fights. Each of our LaPlace’s was given a bell at the Convention. The bell of the LaPlace at one time was used to alert the members of the house of danger or threat so that they could get away.


    The bell was/is also the link between the different LaPlace’s of the House and the Father of the House. The Father of the House is the guardian over the LaPlace’s and, in turn, the LaPlace’s are the guardian of the father. The bell of the LaPlace is used to call for the father of the house if needed and is a spiritual link as well. The ringing of the bell when danger is not present signifies that the LaPlace needs the protection or guidance of the father of the house.


    The LaPlace also uses his bell to communicate in secret with the other LaPlaces of his house (and with the father of the house). Houses have elaborate “bell codes” that the LaPlaces can use during ceremonies or every day life to communicate with each other and the father of the house. This is often done in ritual so as to not interrupt the ritual with talking but rather soft bell ringing which has meaning and is a way of communicating without talking. This is also done to alert each other of some kind of danger or inappropriate behavior that might just be starting and the LaPlace’s want to alert each other and the father, but not necessarily alarm the congregation. (The LaPlaces and the father of the house determine these codes.)


    Today LaPlaces tend to have the duties of keeping rituals flowing properly, attending to the congregation, all while keeping the peace and watching out for any kinds of inappropriate behavior. LaPlaces also bring to the attention of the father of the house anyone or anything that could be considered a threat to the peace, reputation, or progress of the house.


    We are very lucky to have our two wonderful LaPlaces, both of whom will learn much, much more about their roles as time passes.


    TAke care all, Parran Matt
