  • Ritualistic Cooking!

    Ritualistic cooking is an extremely ancient form of spell casting.  Food has been linked with love, nurturing, and caring for centuries.   Many people cook to show how much they care for their partners, families, friends, etc.   Cooking takes on a ritualistic twist when any kind of magick ritual is added to boost the spiritual energy that cooking already has!   In Reverend Samantha Corfield's cook book  Cajun Voodoo Love Cookin', her Cajun family recipes for food and  magick are shared with you.  Detailed explanations of the rituals and the recipes are outlined for you.  Here is a sample recipe from the book!

    HAPPY HOUSE OMELETTE
    by Mambo Sam

    Usage:  To smooth out problems after a fight

    Ingredients:

    1 dozen eggs

    1 dozen raw, fresh oysters, drained

    1 cup cooked crabmeat

    1/8 pound unencased hot sausage, fried and drained (reserve drippings)

    6 tablespoons cream

    1 very finely chopped onion

    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

    1/4 cup minced celery

    Tabasco® sauce

    Salt and pepper

    Butter

    Rum for flaming (optional)

    Spiritual Gifts:

    2 white tapers (candle)

    1 glass (8 oz.) of water

    1 serving of grits (or oatmeal, etc.)

    1 paper bowl

    2 small paper plates

    1 pair women’s inexpensive sunglasses

    1/2 cup of regular (plain) water

     

    Before beginning your cooking:

    1. Line up your candles one before the other (in a vertical line) anywhere in the kitchen.

    Put one candle in the rear, and the other in front of it, about 6 inches apart.

    Put the grits in the paper bowl.

    Put the grits and glass of water between the candles.

    Set the sunglasses up around the grits and water

    (The candles, sunglasses, grits and water are to remain in place overnight.)

    1. Go to any corner of the kitchen with the 1/2-cup of water.

    Sprinkle some water from your fingertips in the corner three times.

    1. Go to the candles. Stamp the floor three times. Light the rear candle and say:

    “Hey, Legba. Open the gate and let my words carry to the other side.”

    Pause a moment, then light the front candle, clap your hands three times and say:

    “Mademoiselle Florida. Florida. Florida, I am upset. You, my dear, truly the queen of luxury, may be of service to me. Listen to this. My man and I have had a fight. I want to smooth out the problems, Florida. And I want all women to have a soft life with their men. Mademoiselle, I ask this of you: Give me some of that luxury. Make my man and I relate to each other in a fashion smooth as silk, soft as satin, sweet as sugar. Do this for me, Florida, do it now.”

    1. Begin to make your omelet with your desire in mind.

    Keep that desire in mind and honor Mademoiselle Florida during the preparation.

     

    Start cooking:

    In a large, nonstick frying pan melt 3 tablespoons of butter; add in sausage drippings, onion, parsley and celery. Cook about ten minutes or until tender. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs adding in the cream, a couple of dashes of Tabasco®, salt and pepper. Beat until frothy. Fold in the crabmeat, sausage and oysters. Pour into pan with the onion mixture. Fold from one side to the other, letting uncooked egg fall to the sides, then folding in. Do not overcook.

    Slide out of pan onto warmed platter. If desired, pour a small amount of rum over the omelet and flame briefly. 

    Serves 10-12.

    Serve for Sunday or holiday brunch with hash browns, buttered grits, and hot biscuits.

    After cooking:

    1. Put out the front candle and say:

    “Thank you, Florida, for hearing my cry and making my desire come true. If it pleases you, you may now depart.”

    Pause a moment. Put the rear candle out and say:

    “Thank you, Papa Alegba. If it pleases you, you may close the gate.”

    1. Cut out 2 small pieces of omelet and put each one onto a paper plate.

    Before you eat (if not possible, then afterwards):

    1. Take the 2 paper plates with the omelet pieces outside and go to the base of a tree, telephone pole, lamppost or fence post.
    2. Stamp the ground three times with your foot. Put one plate down and say:

    “Papa Alegba, this is for you.”

    Put down the other plate and say:

    “Blessings and thanks to you, Mademoiselle Florida.”

    1. Turn your back and walk away, leaving the omelet servings there overnight.

    The next day:

    1. If the omelet is still by the tree or pole, place it on the ground and trash the plates.
    2. Take the candles, sunglasses, grits and glass of water and set them out on a street corner.

    Do not be noticed doing so. Leave quickly.

  • Lucky Money Spell! Free!

    Hey there! 

    This spell is free to be downloaded and used. It is a sample from our "Spells Only" available at Spellmaker.com! — Mambo Sam

    Lucky Money Spell

    Equipment needed:

    *Play paper money – the larger the denominations, the better.

    *Two green candles and one white, big enough to last burning 9 days, 9 minutes a day.

    *9 cloves.

    *A whole nutmeg.

    *Lucky Oil – made from equal parts of pure virgin olive oil and rose oil (rose oil is available at any store that sells essential oils).

    *A $1.00, $5.00, or $10.00 bill that you won’t mind donating later.

    Spell Casting Steps:

    *Inscribe your name down the front of the white candle, using a twig from a green tree.

    *On each green candle inscribe three dollar signs.

    *Dip your finger in the Lucky Oil and rub it all over the candles repeating 9 times:

     “By the power of the elements, I empower you.”

    *Set the candles on a table where they will not be disturbed, except by you for 9 days.

    *Put the white candle between the two green candles.

    *Surround the candles completely with the play money, reserving two large  denomination bills.

    *Sprinkle the cloves on top of the money.

    *Wrap the whole nutmeg up in your real money. Place it in front of the candle with   your name on it.  

    *Each day for 9 days burn the candle for 9 minutes. During these 9 minutes you should   concentrate on your luck with money; how you will make the right decisions concerning  money, how money will come to you through lotteries, gambling, any “lucky" money 

    *On the Ninth Day, let the candles burn out completely while you concentrate on   your petition.

    *On the Ninth Day, take the real money unwrapped from the nutmeg and give it to   what you consider a good cause.

    *On the Ninth Day, put all the equipment used in the spell together in a safe place.

     At the end of 9 days you may discard the equipment discreetly keeping it all together.

     Burial is the preferred form of discarding.

    NOTE: Keep the nutmeg in your purse, pocket, or wallet as a good luck charm.

    Use the cloves in cooking when you want to feel especially lucky (for example, before going gambling).

  • DIY Lotions and Potions! by Mambo Sam

    LOTIONS AND POTIONS by Mambo Sam

    Below are the recipes for wearable potions. I will be adding more in the future, so check back.  Scented oils can now be purchased many places; the combinations below are to be used in  equal parts, except where indicated. Usually 1/8 to 1/4 ounce of each is used–according to  how much oil you want to make.   Store the oils in a cool, dark place. (Do not refrigerate  after it is mixed.) Sunlight weakens the strength of the oils.

    Oil is often consecrated with a prayer that is appropriate to the individual's faith.

    A good way to consecrate the oil for all beliefs is to cup the bottled mixture in both hands,  raise it towards the sky and repeat, "With respect to the powers of nature and the elements,  I consecrate this oil with the power of goodness."

    Simple, but effective.

    *Attraction Oil: Equal parts of Rose oil, Lavender oil, Vanilla oil, and Sandalwood oil.  Touch to pulse points when in the presence of the one you want to attract.

    *Lucky Oil: 1/2 of the oil should be pure Olive oil, 1/4 part Myrrh oil, 1/4 part Jasmine oil. Anoint feet before putting on shoes you will wear in a situation where you want to feel lucky.

    *Power Oil: Equal parts of Patchouli oil, Cinnamon oil, and Vanilla oil.

    Touch to pulse points (especially at wrists and temples) prior to going into a situation you  need to have power over.

    *Protection Oil: Equal parts of Hyacinth oil, Jasmine oil, Orange oil, Musk oil, and Anise oil.  Touch the oil around the area that needs protection (such as your home) or on yourself.  (It is said that touching this oil to the bottom of your feet allows you to run away from evil.)

  • Happy September!!!

  • Lammas

    Hello there 🙂 Oh Lammas, the first harvest, how I love this time of year. When humid August clings to the air and clutches the earth in its heady embrace as if to envelop the world before letting go.

     

    Cicadas sing through the heavy stillness that is late summertime and the night sky always takes on a desaturated shade of the darkest blue. 

    Lammas is on many Pagan calenders for August 1 or 2, but it is really more of a two week process culminating in when the sun actually reaches 15 degrees Leo. (which happens to be today)

    This, of course, comes just before our next full moon which will occur on 8/11. That is alot of energy, and astrologically this is the point in the year where we can really boost our manifestation energy!

    I wish you all a very happy and health lammas and a wonderful start to the fall season. Ayibobo!

     

     

  • Magic

     

    I've just received word that Olivia Newton-John has passed away! For a girl who grew up watching Grease over and over, can sing every song from the movie by heart, and aspired ( like we all did) to be Sandy ( although in truth I'm more like Rizzo) I am just heartbroken! Olivia will always be a part of my childhood, a singer who was sweet enough for little girl to emulate, but still beautiful and talented enough to be a genuine inspiration.

     

     

    I was feeling so nostalgic, and I dove into some of Newton-John's non Grease songs that I have always loved.

     

     

    I have been struggling lately with many things. Most of all I feel like I just had another birthday and I have SO many goals I want to reach. But after some serious  relationships stuff and health issues that have prohibited me from working for awhile, I was feeling a little despondent as of late. Like HOW will I ever do the things I want to do in my life. Some days it just seems impossible that I will ever feel productive again. 

     

     

    I have written many times about signs the lwa show us, and of course about what a huge impact they have had on every area of my life. But this was a big one. And I suppose I have Olivia Newton-John (and Erzulie Freda, whom I serve) to thank for this epiphany.

     

     

    All in PINK were the lyrics to the Olivia Newton-John song "Magic", which I'll be honest, I never knew. Until today. And I knew.

    I know I'm not alone in mourning Olivia Newton-John. A generation of girls turned women were so impacted by her iconic role in Grease. My heart goes out to her loved ones, who I hope know that Olivia and her beautiful voice will never be forgotten.

     

    And for any one of you who have some spellwork out there,or any of us who consistently do services and magical work who might be feeling a little bit meh, a little bit confused, aimless-or even like giving up…these lyrics are for you:

     

    Come take my hand

    You should know me

    I've always been in your mind

    You know I will be kind

    I'll be guiding you

     

    Building your dream has to start now

    There's no other road to take

    You won't make a mistake

    I'll be guiding you

    You have to believe we are magic

     

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

     

    For you

    From where I stand, you are home free

    The planets align so rare

    There's promise in the air

    And I'm guiding you

     

    Through every turn I'll be near you

    I'll come anytime you call

    I'll catch you when you fall

    I'll be guiding you

     

    You have to believe we are magic

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    You have to believe we are magic

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

  • Jupiter retrograde: What does it mean?

    Hello there,

    I just want to touch on some astrology for any of you who are interested. In the past few years, I have noticed a huge increase in astrology by the public at large, and especially for anyone interested in magical matters.

    One thing that I have really noticed is the discussion of retrograde planets. The problematic thing about planetary retrogrades is that there can be alot of fear mongering involved, which can send people into a panic. So I am here today to tell you: STOP THE INSANITY!!! 

    Planetary retrogrades have been going on as long as the planets have been in the heavens, and awareness of  retrograde planets has always been there for students of astrology. 

    Many of us (myself included) have planets retrograde in a natal, or birth chart. Retrogrades are an  inevitable, like the sun setting, the seasons changing, and natural part of the cosmic consciousness.

    The KEY to navigating planetary retrogrades is to know what to try to avoid and what to focus more upon during the retrograde period. The same way you know that you need to wear a winter coat in cold months, or know that you need to turn your headlights on to drive your car in the dark, is the way to approach a planetary retrogrades. 

    So what do we focus on during Jupiter retrograde? Well, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and in retrograde it can constrict areas concerned with the 9th house, such as travel, moving abroad, higher education, such as enrolling in college or seeking funds for education. And just as the heirophant in tarot can signify a teacher in the literal sense, he can also rule teachings of an esoteric nature. So subjects of religion and spirituality can be affected by a Jupiter retrograde. 

    Does this mean NOT to follow a spiritual path during the retrograde? Absolutely not. But taking time to really do some soul searching about your beliefs or practices, or actually doing a deep dive into spiritual subjects you want to learn about so you can expand on it eventually, that is right up Jupiter retrograde's cosmic alley!

    As with any retrograde, going inward is always a good idea. But does this mean you should just NOT enroll in that college course you have had your eye on? Of course not- it is just that during retrogrades allowing extra time and understanding margins for error or delay is always the wisest course of action. 

    You can always look into your personal natal chart also to investigate if a planet's retrograde is making aspects to any of your personal planets. (Your sun or moon sign, or your Mercury Mars or Venus placements, respectively.)

    So, that is just my 2 cents on the upcoming Jupiter retrograde, which will occur July 28th in ♈  Aries during the Leo new moon,, and move into Pisces in late October until stationing direct on November 24th.

    This retrograde advises us to be wise and listen to our inner teacher as we progress through it.

  • Happy Moon Day 2022

    Happy Moon Day to one and all 🙂

    Today is the anniversary of mankind's first moon landing. In 1969, millions watched Neil Armstrong take those first steps and a new era was born. 

    I love that there is a day to celebrate the moon because honestly, nothing (except maybe HALLOWEEN) makes me feel more magical than that mystical luminary in the night!

    I have always been fascinated with the moon's pull over the tides and over the human psyche. I love her in all of her phases, and I love observing what occursas she travels the heavens through the astrological signs.

    The moon has been my constant companion in life. There is a comforting familiarity about the moon as she changes every night, and with every season of the year.

    No matter where I have been in the world, the moon was always there,  pulling the tides and lighting up the sky.

    And I wish all of you a beautiful relationship with the moon, just as I have been lucky enough to have. 

    "The moon, like a flower in heaven’s high bower, With silent delight sits and smiles on the night." – William Blake

     

  • Scrappy flags and life lessons

    Hey all

    So this summer,my inner crafty person has started to emerge. One of the things I have started creating are scrappy flags. Maybe you have seen them on Etsy or on a neighbor's door. Basically they are scraps if material fastened to a rod or pole in the red white and blue colors of the American flag. 

    I think one of the reasons I like scrappy flags so much is because I love things that utilize stuff we already have lying around!

    These peculiar little craft projects remind me that you can always make something nifty out of what you have-your looks, your dinner, your home decor-even your life. It's the same principle of "bloom where you are planted." 

    I'm not sure if this makes any sense to anyone out there but I feel like someone needed that message!
