  • 9-Day Meditation and Goal Focus Exercise

    Hello everyone!
    Here at Spellmaker we are always concerned with everyone's goals! What do you want? Why did you come to us? How can we help you get what you want?

    Over the years I have noticed that the busier we all get, the less time we have to truly focus on our goals. So many times I will have people tell me that they will do "anything" to get the person they love, and yet balk at the idea of having to spend 45 minutes a day doing that "anything." 😉 It isn't their fault entirely, though! We live in a world where we are forced to produce, get ahead, be on top of everything, etc. However, there is a problem with that: The very goals we are trying to achieve often elude us because we are so busy and so rushed to "get ahead" that we forget that those goals need our focus and attention! We end up frustrated, flustered, and feeling a lack of direction – and we see our goals slipping away from us.

    Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will publish a nine-day set of meditative and focal exercises that I structured to help you achieve your dreams and goals. For some, it may raise more questions than it answers! However, if you will stick to these exercises for nine days in a row, you will begin to see the benefit! Remember, the answers to ALL that you want to know are inside of you. You are the expert on you! Sometimes you just need a little help to remember that.

    No worries if you can't do the nine days in a row right now. This blog will have these exercises on it for as long as it exists, and I expect that to be a very long time. 😉

    What you will need for these exercises: About 15 minutes alone time (more if you can). A notebook that you can keep and refer to. You may want to do these exercises many times over your lifetime. If you can keep a notebook and refer back to it, you will see how you grow, change, and achieve! Something to write with. That's about it! Pretty simple.

    I look forward to your progress.

    Love,

  • Re-opening the Forum!

    Happy Tuesday, everyone!

    Happily, we will be re-opening our forum here in the next couple of days. I was going to wait until I was finished with our Spellmaker Community Pages, but we are excited to get the forum re-opened and we don’t want to wait much longer! 🙂


    My darling daughter, Sister Bridget has been working on the reformatting and re-creation of the forum so that it will be a happy, healthy, and productive place!


    The new forum will not be a place for crying, whining, and telling everyone how bad one’s life is! We found that to be extremely counterproductive and while it may have made a few people feel better to get those kinds of things off their chest, it ended up making more people unhappy until it just turned into a ball of negative energy. So, instead, we are making the forum a place of happy updates, tips and suggestions for keeping positive, uplifting quotes and stories, and teaching information about magick, voodoo, the lwa, saints, and angels, and more! 🙂


    My other darling daughter, Sister Candelaria, as well as Sister Bridget, will still have their corners in the forum. Schweety’s Feng Shui corner will still be there! Spellmaker office news and all the information about the lwa that Schweety was kind enough to upload for us will still be there! Plus, there will be lots of new categories. 🙂


    It is our intention for the Spellmaker Spirits forum to be a place of learning, peace, and happiness. It will remain a moderated forum and posts will have to be approved.(Mostly we do that because so many people troll the internet looking for places to post porno and Viagra links! So to keep the forum for the purpose for which it was intended, we will moderate posts.)


    I am really looking forward to opening the forum back up! See you there in a few days!


    Love, light, and peace,

  • Happy May Day everyone!

    Ah, May 1! This day has been celebrated in so many ways through so many cultures. The halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice,  May 1 has elicited many different rituals through the years.

    For Wiccans, this is Beltane; many Catholics celebrate the life of the Vigin Mary in some way.  Yours truly was once the "May Queen" at her Catholic elementary school – St. Anthony of Padua on Canal Street in New Orleans.  Yes, I got to wear the beautiful white outfit and lead the procession into the church and lay the first roses at the foot of the statue of the Virgin Mary.  Pretty heady stuff for an 8-year-old girl. 

    Of course, nevermind the Catholics totally borrowed the holiday from the pagans who celebrated their first fertility rituals of the year on this date.  ;-)  Children conceived on this date are said to have special magickal powers.  Children conceived on Walpurgis (the night before May 1, Beltane Eve) are said to have the ability to communicate with the dead because Walpurgis is, traditionally, one of the days when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is considered most thin and penetrable.

    May 1 is often celebrated with different types of floral offerings.  In some countries the ladies all wear flowers on this day – if your flower is worn on your right side, you are available; a flower on the left signifies that you are already taken.   This is also considered the day to meet a new lover or celebrate an old one.  ;-) 

    This day is often associated with new beginnings, planting a new seed, looking towards shedding off the past and looking towards the future with new, hopeful ideation.  Not too many of us get the chance to dance around the Maypole these days, but certainly you can do that in your heart and mind.  I hope you all have a beautiful May 1 and beyond!  Let's look towards new beginnings, new hope, and beautiful outcomes for us all.
    Love, light, and peace,
