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 – 33 minutes). IMPORTANT – at NO TIME do you mention yourself or put yourself into the petiton in any way – no “leave Susie and come to me, Judy” – just “leave Susie” 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!!!

We Shall Overcome!
We Shall Overcome
Hi there!
This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun! To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.
We Shall Overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayWe'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand some dayHere we are not afraid
We are not afraid
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayHere we shall overcome some day.

Readings during castings? Why not?
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 🙂
***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 im 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.

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,
Mambo Sam
