Winter Solstice!
Hey Gang!
Well, Happy Winter, Happy Solstice! Finally, the days begin to become longer again! Do any of you have any special traditions for this day? If you do, I would love to hear about them, Please post a comment below, and we can get a little conversation going about this special time of the year! I personally go out and collect all my bird feeders, wash them out, clean them up, repair if needed, and fill them up right full with fresh, wonderful seeds. I also get my suet feeder out, and fill that as well. If I need to, I run down to the hardware store and get enough bird seed and suet to last me a while. Gotta take care of those little birdies!
I found this poem about Solstice that I wanted to share with you all 😉

Winter Wishes
by Ray Cruz
Let the first snow of winter
Cleanse the wounds in your heart
From conflicts and hardships of the year.Let the heavenly showers
Clear the air and freshen your view
Of the world around you.Let the brisk sounds and scenes
Of the holiday season
Pace the rhythm of your step.Let your soul be uplifted
With the sparkle of children
Enjoying the surprises of winter’s antics.Let your heart be filled
With the peace of an infant's succor
From her mother's breast.Let peace in your heart
Free you from doubts and fears
And spread your warm feelings to those near to you.Let peace in your heart
Open the door to love
And reveal the true delights of the human experience.Let there be peace on earth,
The purest peace of innocence,
And let it be born in your heart. -

How I spent my Saturday Afternoon.
Happy Saturday!
So, after doing the usual mundane stuff this morning, I decided to refresh a couple of my altar spaces. Both Agwe and Gran Bwa have kinda been asking for "more space" in odd ways, so today was the day I decided to make that happen. I have posted 2 new picures in my photo album. Go take a peek!
Also, just 2 days remaining for the tarot reading special! Most of next week is booked up, but there are a few slots open for next weekend, just before the big Sobo Prosperity and Security Ritual. Dont forget to send in your email with your petition for this free ritual for all by Mambo Sam's New Orleans Voodoo Family!

Happy Fall, Y’all!
Happy Fall, Everyone! Hope you all get to go out and enjoy the autumn sun and the falling leaves and cider and candy apples and pumpkin picking and all that great stuff that goes along with time of the year 😉
Leaves
by Elsie BradyHow silently they tumble downAnd come to rest upon the groundTo lay a carpet, rich and rare,Beneath the trees without a care,Content to sleep, their work well done,Colors gleaming in the sun.At other times, they wildly flyUntil they nearly reach the sky.Twisting, turning through the airTill all the trees stand stark and bare.Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.
Light and Love

New Bath Set Up!
….actually, the real news is about the clean up!
Not that there was anything wrong with the clean up before — it was just a little, um, involved, as our most Beloved Mambo Sam packs these baths chock full of magickal and blessed herbs so that we can get the most benefit possible from the Ritual Baths. The experience is amazing for all the baths (trust me, I have taken at least one of each!) Now, the herbs are packed neat and tidy in a cotton bag. That keeps the herbs from running down your drain and getting in your ears and hair (for those of us with long hair, you know what I mean ) Now, the herbs diffuses their healing and other such magickal properties thru the cotton bag (picture a BIG cotton tea bag right full of aromatic blessed herbs) into the water and you get the benefits of all of these herbs AND a speedy cleanup 😉
I did take my first bath with the new set up last night, so I can tell you from experience, it was as wonderful as ever (and I got to bed much quicker when I was done)
For those of you convention bound, you might want to consider doing a Baron’s Purple Bath before your trip, to help you get read for the Big Fet Ghede Festivities that will be occuring! Doing the bath preconference to help celebrate Fet Ghede and The Baron and Maman Brigitte would be a wonderful thing to do and help you get the most out of this fantastic experience. Also, anyone who would just like to do some general cleansing before the convention to help open themselves up more to the blessings and learning that will be bestowed by our awesome Mambo could do a Milk of Damballah White Bath kit before hand 😉 Being cleansed and open to all the new and wonderful things that will be presented to you can only help enhance the experice for you.
I hope you try out a bath with the new herb set up! You will not be disappointed!
Much light and love (and see ALOT of you soon!)

Hit a Bump in the Road?
Have you hit a bump in your spellcasting road? This happens sometimes! Do not fret! This happens from time to time and there are things you can do to get "over" it !
The FIRST thing I think anyone should do when they face a bump or unexpected twist or turn is to assess themselves 😉 We all know that spellwork can be at times emotional for some people, then add to that some unexpected news or event, and well, sometimes we enter the "glass is half empty" frame of mind. Sooooooo — anything you can do to get yourself back in balance before embarking on anything else would be so beneficial to you and your case. As always, consult with your caseworker for what would be most appropriate for your case, but several of the ritual baths — Milk of Damballah, LaSiren Aquamarine Shoals, The Baron’s Bath — might be quite applicable and help you get recharged! Then there is of course some White Candle Magick or if you already have a Cosmic Voodoo Healing Egg, a few sessions on yourself could do the trick.
Now, once you have yourself in a happier, more balanced place. Always consult your caseworker and keep them updates in the events of your case. The more informed they are, the better they can advise you. Very often a reading with Mambo Sam is just the ticket to helping you plan your strategy and further raise your spirits.
Dont let unexpected news or events turn you and your case on their respective ears 😉 Take a deep breath, do something good and kind for yourself, and consult your Spellmaker support system. We are here to help.
Light and Love,

Help with phrasing questions for Tarot:
For sure, we when coming into a reading, as a client you will have things you desire clarification on. Knowing how to phrase questions well will help you get the most possible benefit from your reading. Here are some basic guidelines.
The Tarot will give you an overview of a situation and let you know what will happen if you choose to either do nothing and continue the way you are going, or take another path. The tarot itself is more about insight and guidance that black and white answers. Open ended questions seem to work best. Here are some examples:
Can you give me insight into …
What do I need to understand about …
What is the meaning of …
What is the lesson or purpose of …
What are the circumstances underlying …
How can I improve my chances of …
How might I …
What do I need to know about . . . ?
What internal and external influences are affecting my goal to…?
What is the next step I need to take to achieve . . . ?
What is standing in the way of my . . . ?
How can I best overcome the obstacle of . . . ?
How can I be a better . . . ?
Which is the best choice between . . . ?
Asking closed ended questions limits the scope of advice that the cards can lend. Yes and No questions can be asked, but that then leaves us asking yet another question about what to do next. The cards themselves do not give specific names, places or dates. Although, general time frames can be interpreted by a skilled reader 😉 (We can address timelines in another post!) And always, if you are having trouble framing a question, just describe what it is you wish to know about, what information you are seeking, and we can work together on phrasing your question. No worries!
Keep in mind that there are always challenges and obstacles in life and the Tarot never gives an inevitable outcome but, rather, a possible one based on the circumstances presently surrounding your question. Readings of any kind should be used as a tool to help you in deciding what to do next, what you can work towards changing, and what you decide to accept as your destiny. In other words, if you get a reading that doesn’t seem particularly good, what can you do to change that? If you couldn’t potentially change your future, then we at Spellmaker wouldn’t be here working so hard for you and with you!
Light and Love
Sister Bridget
