  • New video with Mambo Sam.

     Hello!

    Many clients ask us what happens during the spell casting process. What happens before, during and after? Well, we can not show *everything* but there are some things we can share! In this video by Mambo Sam, Mambo explains about the end of the casting process – what is involved, where it takes place, what offerings are made, what some of the closing prayers are. It may seem strange to begin at the end, BUT endings really are not endings, are they? Especially where spellwork is concerned!

    Hope you enjoy!

    Love

  • See Mambo Sam working on Spellmaker’s Valentine’s Ritual to Erzulie Freda!

     

    Hello!

    Every year, Spellmaker puts on a free ritual for all who wish to participate to the Lwa of Love, Erzulie Freda. This year, we had the benefit of taping some parts of the ritual (the parts we can share with the public) and have made the video available to view. I was lucky enough to be the one recording Mambo Sam (you will hear my voice as I join her with the Hail Mary).  Be sure to watch it till the end, as Mambo Sam includes a special blessing for all of you. Mambo Sam, Parran Matt and myself feel very privledged to have each of you in our lives, and hope that you enjoy seeing this look into some of the things we do here at Spellmaker!

    Love

  • New Moon, New Year! Super Moon, Super Year!

    New Moon, New Year! Super Moon, Super Year!

    The night of New Year’s 2014 is also the night of the first Super Moon (when the moon orbits slightly closer to Earth than usual and looks bigger in the sky) of the year, AND it is a New Moon as well. What does that mean for us? Many say that the New Moon is a time for setting intentions. The new moon is seen as the beginning or birth of the moon’s various phases. The night of the new moon is is the perfect time for birthing and planting your intentions. The dark side of the moon, with its mysterious unseen forces, offers a nurturing environment where our intentions can establish roots before their manifestations begin to sprout and reach out to the light. A New Moon on the New Year seems a really great time to set forth some positive intentions for 2014! Forget resolutions, and all that is associated with them. Take a few minutes this special night to focus your intent on what you wish 2014 holds for you. What a wonderful energy to begin this new year on 🙂

    I wish each of you a Super New Year 🙂

    Love

  • A Thankful Time.

    Hello Dear Ones,

    I would like to take a moment this morning, before we each get caught up in holiday prep chaos,  to say how thankful I am for all of my wonderful friends who make my days a true joy!  I am grateful for each and every one of you! Please enjoy your holiday, and your time with friends and loved ones.  Take time to savor the small things about the big holiday. Those are the things great memories are made of.

    Much Love,

    Mambo Sam

    The Thanksgivings

      by Harriet Maxwell Converse
    Translated from a traditional Iroquois prayer

    We who are here present thank the Great Spirit that we are here

              to praise Him.

    We thank Him that He has created men and women, and ordered

              that these beings shall always be living to multiply the earth.

    We thank Him for making the earth and giving these beings its products

              to live on.

    We thank Him for the water that comes out of the earth and runs

              for our lands.

    We thank Him for all the animals on the earth.

    We thank Him for certain timbers that grow and have fluids coming

              from them for us all.

    We thank Him for the branches of the trees that grow shadows

              for our shelter.

    We thank Him for the beings that come from the west, the thunder

              and lightning that water the earth.

    We thank Him for the light which we call our oldest brother, the sun

              that works for our good.

    We thank Him for all the fruits that grow on the trees and vines.

    We thank Him for his goodness in making the forests, and thank

              all its trees.

    We thank Him for the darkness that gives us rest, and for the kind Being

              of the darkness that gives us light, the moon.

    We thank Him for the bright spots in the skies that give us signs,

              the stars.

    We give Him thanks for our supporters, who had charge of our harvests.

    We give thanks that the voice of the Great Spirit can still be heard

              through the words of Ga-ne-o-di-o.

    We thank the Great Spirit that we have the privilege of this pleasant

              occasion.

    We give thanks for the persons who can sing the Great Spirit's music,

              and hope they will be privileged to continue in his faith.

    We thank the Great Spirit for all the persons who perform the ceremonies

              on this occasion.

  • 15 things to make you happier!

    Hello!

    This is a link to an article I just saw on FB. I don’t often repost
    things I see there, because I figure, If I saw it, than so has everyone
    else. BUT today I am making an exception. This article is well worth
    reading. The 15 things are by some standards no small things, but even
    if this article just gives us a little awareness of the time and space a
    few of these things may be taking up in our lives, it is so worth it.

    Hope you all have a grand day!

    Love

  • Get Creative!

    Hello!

    I wanted to let you all know about a little product tip I have recently discovered.  I was doing some work with the Baron and Maman Brigitte over the winter. It was cold out, and dark all the time, and I was really having trouble focusing on some projects I was working on. I felt stuck, blah, Shortly after completing my service, I happened to pick up a vial of Spellmaker's Voodoo Sexual Essence Oil and dabbed a little on my wrists. First, let me just say that the scent is AMAZING! Then, something else happened – the work which was feeling blah before was going better – I felt more creative and motivated than I had is quite some time. Then it hit me – who else would be at the center of creating new and exciting things ? The Baron and Brigitte, of course! They are all about creation! Now, when I set out for work in the morning, or I feel stuck on an idea or way of thinking that needs an "outside of the box" approach I dab on a bit of this oil,  and let the new, super creative ideas start rolling :-)  This oil would be great for artists, writers, etc, who are looking for some creative inspiration. But you do not need  to be an artist to benefit from the creative boost  this oil provides!

    Love

  • Monday Morning Inspiration.

     

    Hi there-

    Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It was pretty snowy and cold where I am, so I spent a little time watching movies. I rewatched a classic – Cool Hand Luke. Paul Newman and those baby blues — Oh My!

    This scene below has been staying on my mind, and I wanted to share it with all of you. It is the epitome of determination, the fighting spirit, and to just keep on swinging, no matter how things seem.

    Hope you all have a great week!

    Love

    Happy New Year!

    I may be a bit early with my wishes where you are – and a little late where some other are. But wherever you are, I hope you are with loved ones, and enjoying the last of this holiday season.

    I recently came across this song by Garth Brooks again, after kind of having it slip my mind. It really is lovely, and tho it is about something that happened at Christmas time during WWI, the message fits New Year's as well. The lyrics of this song are really poetic – but my favorite are really the last 2 lines.

    Enjoy, and I wish for next year to be the best ever for all!

    Love

  • Get Ready for a Walk through the Chakras.

    Hello All!

    I hope you all have been enjoying your Autumn. I just returned home last week from a visit with Mambo Sam and Parran Matt for Fet Ghede and more 🙂 It was a really wonderful ten days, and even though it was a whole ten days, boy it went by fast! I have alot to report, and alot of photos to share, including a really awesome trip to a local New Mexico cemetary which included a big sign from my dearly departed Dad. Lots of new posts to come!

    As I get back into the swing of things here, I would like to start off with some information about the Chakras, and how they influence our life and our well being – both physically and emotionally. I have a series of articles ready, which will walk us through each chakra, it's associations, and also the life issues which may be manifesting if we have a chakra that is a little "out of whack." This will be something that we can discuss over a few weeks, and I really do welcome questions and comments. Please feel free to post a comment here on typepad, or on facebook, or even email me directly at bridget@spellmaker.com

    Chakras are energy centers within the body that affect our physical,
    emotional, mental and physical well-being. Chakras come from the
    Sanskrit word meaning "wheels of light." Chakras are like a blueprint of
    energy for individuality. These energy centers hold a vibration and
    color, like a human rainbow.

    There are many ways that can help balance your chakras (and we will get to this!) 
    But first, do you know if you're out of balance?

    When you work on
    the chakras that are closed or weak, you'll be directly influencing that
    particular area of your life, for example, finances, sex life,
    self-esteem, compassion, expression, intuition and spirituality.

    Are
    your finances in trouble? Are you feeling insecure? Do you need to
    perform better at work and get that raise or promotion? Strengthen your
    Root or 1st Chakra.

    Do you want to spice up your sex life or feel more passionate and creative? Unblock your Sacral or 2nd Chakra.

    Want to feel more self-confident and powerful in achieving your goals? Strengthen your Solar Plexus or 3rd Chakra.

    Want
    to feel more love, be able to forgive past grievances, and connect
    better with your spouse, kids, friends and co-workers? Work on your 4th
    or Heart Chakra.

    Afraid of public speaking? Want to be able to express your truth and be understood? Balance your 5th or Throat Chakra.

    Want
    more inspiration on which path you should take in life? Want to
    increase your intuition and psychic abilities? Open your 6th or Third
    Eye Chakra.

    Want to feel at one with all there is? Have more peace, harmony and connection to spirit? Work on your 7th or Crown Chakra.

    If
    you want to get balanced, get centered, get energized, get relaxed, get
    inspired, get clear, get connected, get going… chakra healing can be
    your answer. When your chakras are balanced, your life will also feel
    balanced.

    When we learn to balance our chakras, we learn to craft
    our lives the way we want them to be, rather than living in constant
    reaction to forces outside of us.

    These spirals of energy are
    wheels that heal, feeding the body good energy and relieving it of that
    we do not want. Chakras cannot be held, stroked or bottled up like a
    genie, yet our physical bodies soak them up thirstily and they
    profoundly affect our metabolism, emotions, sensations and behaviors. In
    addition to their roles in the physical realm, chakras work on a higher
    plane, waking us to the realization that our body, mind and spirit are
    forever and inextricably linked.

    Ok, that is enough for one day! Please look for more new posts to come, and even some new products in the works as well!

    Hope you all have a wonderful day!

    Love

    Sister Bridget
