  • Universal Love – Live it, Love it!

    WPwithinEveryatom 

    Think about this!  What is the message there?  Is love available to everyone?  Are we all taking the time to actually feel that love and the warmth of it?  How accepting of love are we really?  If we cannot experience Universal Love and love of one's self, can we truly experience romantic love?  Just asking!  Love to hear your opinions.  Remember everyone, you can read everyone's comments and make your own simply by clicking on the "comments" link below each individual post.  🙂

  • The “Good-Enough” Marriage????

    Happy almost Friday, everyone! 😉

    Okay, so I am sure the title of this post has you wondering what the HECK Mambo is up to with that title? LOL. Well,it isn’t exactly my title. 😉


    There is an article that I want you to read and tell me what you think! Some of you can guess what I think, especially if you have had a consultation with me and you told me that your marriage and/or relationship was “okay.” You know what my answer was to that, but let’s not spoil the fun for everyone else. Hahahahahaha.


    Anyway, I would like to know what you think of the concepts presented in this article. You can join in our discussion by simply clicking on the “Comments” link under this article and typing in your comments. You can come back to this article and click on that link again to join in further discussion as more people comment. You can comment on comments! I only ask that everyone respect everyone else’s opinion, even if it differs.


    When I saw this article I just wondered how many people out there of marrying/relationship age, especially if you happen to be a little bit older and waiting for Prince Charming or Mr. Right or Mr. Soulmate, would agree with this article. Or do you disagree, and why? Or is there no easy answer? 😉


    Let me know what you think!

  • 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,

  • I didn’t mean to call you that….

    There is a popular song by “Lit” with these lyrics:

    Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk

    I didn’t mean to call you that

    I can’t remember what was said or what you threw at me

    Please tell me

    Please tell me why

    My car is in the front yard

    And I’m sleeping with my clothes on

    I came in through the window last night

    And you’re gone


    Okay, so it’s a funny song, but not really when you think about it. I am sorry to say that I see a trend of female clients who are being abused but they don’t seem to know it. Not every form of abuse leaves you with a black eye or a broken bone. Some of the more insidious forms of abuse include how your partner speaks to you.


    I am seeing more and more Heart’s Desire letters that go something like this, “I want Fred to stop calling me a b*tch, a c*nt, a worthless, useless,piece of sh*t.” This is in HD letters for Leave My Man Alone™ where the person is trying to get their HD to stop this kind of behavior towards them.


    I am sorry, but I have to ask myself, why are you putting up with that in the first place? Has that person convinced you that you are worth so little that they have totally destroyed your self esteem and you think you can’t do better? Well, let me tell you, YOU CAN DO BETTER than some low life who doesn’t have one good thing to say about you.


    Look, I am not saying that people don’t have a bad day, or, as the song says, do and say things when intoxicated. But if you are with a person who says horrible things to you on a regular basis, YOU ARE BEING EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY ABUSED, and you shouldn’t be doing the love trio, you should be doing The Ultimate Revenge Kit™, a Milk of Damballah™ white bath, and then an Attract Love to Me™ spell kit!


    I beg you, if you are in an abusive relationship, please get help. Unfortunately, most crisis intervention revolves around physical abuse, but emotional abuse can be just as much, or maybe even more damaging in the long run. You may think you have to take emotional abuse for one reason or another, but trust me, you do not. I did a search on the Internet and there are tons of books and articles written on this subject and how to get out of these relationships. Please don’t allow yourself to be treated like this.


    Granted, sometimes the only person who can truly help you is YOU… like the song says above, “And you’re GONE.”

  • A Girl Named Berkeley….

    answered a newspaper ad that I put in our local "alternative" paper about five years ago.  I don't remember the ad exactly, but it read something to the effect of "Voodoo Priestness needs assistant.  If you object to Voodoo, please don't bother applying."  Now let me digress a moment, the reason it was worded like that was because a few years prior to that I had  put out an ad and didn't mention the type of business.  Many hang up calls later, I told myself I would be VERY clear next time I needed to put an ad for help in the paper.

    Anyway, a girl named Berkeley called for an interview.  I told her to come right in and talk to me.  She did.  I didn't talk to anyone else even though I had about another 25 calls (people seemed to like the ad!).  I loved her at first sight, Matt and I hired her, and the rest is history. She became our office manager, your go-to girl, and all around the best darned assistant any Voodoo priestess has ever had. 

    However, the time has come for Berkeley to move on from us onto bigger (but certainly not better because what could be better than being with US?!) and different things.  She is graduating from the University of New Mexico and has been accepted into the Master's Program.  She has been offered a great job at the University that will go hand-in-hand with her studies in her Master's Program. While we were not ready for her to go yet (although we knew she would have to eventually), this opportunity was really too good for her to pass up.

    We are not saying goodbye to her; she is our friend, our family, and will be around.  I am sure she will be blogging about all her new adventures as soon as she has a chance.  She is greatly missed at the office and while I hate the end of this era, I am excited for her new and wonderful future.  I know she is going to excel and be a rock star at her new endeavors.

    For now, we will not replace her (not that she could be replaced!), and Parran Matt will be answering your calls and emails.  So please be patient with us, we are finding our way around without our right-hand gal and it might take us a minute longer to get to your requests than usual.  But rest assured we are there for you and are working as hard as we can to keep up the level of service you have been receiving.

    In closing, I just want to say THANK YOU, BERKELEY!  You have been a treasure and a pleasure and I am proud to call you friend and family.   I am really glad you answered this Voodoo Priestess's ad!

    Love,  Mambo Sam

  • Are You a Man Hater?

    Greetings, everyone!

    Now some of you are already thinking, “Mambo, what the heck kind of question is that? Of course I am not a man hater. I am doing spell work on the man I love and want to be with!”


    Yeah, well, guess what, that doesn’t keep you from being a man hater and it can send you down a path of very unsuccessful spell work! I am just really surprised at the things I hear coming from my female clients some time, “What else can you expect, all men are pigs” – “well, he is a man so he is going to cheat” – “he broke my heart, but that’s what men do” – and the words go on and on, usually followed by, “but I love him.”


    Really? If you are in the habit of generally trash talking men and can immediately tell me all of their faults,their nasty habits, then followed by the concession that you still want one, you are a man hater. Sure, you are in in love with a man, but that is not because you think he is wonderful, charming, witty, and handsome. It is because he happens to be a man and you love him because you think you are supposed to be with a man and don’t want to be alone. He isn’t perfect, but you can deal with his imperfections, especially if you have your girlfriends to trash talk with.


    Yes, brutal, I know. But I have a point: Even if you are not a man hater, if you are falling into the trap of constantly criticizing your desired man, thinking bad thoughts about him, hating everything that he has done to you, are you really going to be successful in doing your spell work? How can you be when there is so much hurt, resentment, and anger in your heart?


    I know we have talked about this before, that love spell work, by its very nature, must come from love! However, in speaking with some of you over the last couple of weeks, I am concerned that there is a trend towards general man bashing.


    So,ladies, I hope that you can find it in your hearts to stop this behavior if you are guilty of it. Yes, we all need to vent. We all need to get things off our chests. However, try to keep it to a minimum. If you have friends that you speak with, when the conversation turns to man bashing, try to gracefully extricate yourselves.


    Yes, we all have been hurt. We all have a “he was a bad man” story. However, remember that the more energy you put into criticizing men, the less likely you are to actually end up with a good one. I have found throughout the years that the women I have known who complained, harped, and went on and on about how terrible men had treated them continually found themselves with men who treated them terribly.


    So forgive those men who have hurt you and move forward in your life. Celebrate the man you want and bring forward in your mind and heart all of his good qualities!

  • Tweeting Along! 🙂

    Hello everyone!

    I have noticed that more and more of you are following us on Twitter! 🙂 Thank you! We are not as popular as that lady who has five million people following her life, hahahahahaha. Guess we are not as interesting as someone who has as much drama in her life as she does. 😉 And of course we are not as popluar as Ashton and Demi, though the comparison to Matt and me is obvious! LOL. (I did laugh this morning when I saw that Ashton Kutcher had “out tweeted” CNN and has reached 1 million “tweets.” I did have to wonder if Ashton has gotten so bored with his fame that this is what he has time to do! LOL.)


    Anyway, I am guessing that Twitter and tweeting is here to stay. If you are reading this and don’t know what the hell Twitter is, no worries, you will. You cannot escape it! Just check out www.twitter.com and check out who you might want to “follow.” You can get the updates, called “tweets”, either on your phone or by email. I think there are some other ways, too. Of course, we want you to “follow” us! Twitter is free, and maybe a little bit silly, but on the other hand, it does make the world a smaller place and we can reach out to each other in this unique way – you don’t ever have to reveal your identity or anything else. You can sign up in complete anonymity! 😉


    Today I started a new series of Tweets called “Lwa Fun Facts.” Just little facts about various lwa for fun and learning!


    If you want to follow us on Twitter, our URL is www.twitter.com/spellmaker. You do have to sign up for a free Twitter account and choose to follow us. You also will need to choose how you want to receive your tweets from us.


    Although I was not overjoyed at yet another social media site, I think this was is ultra easy and fun to use. 🙂


    Happy Tweeting!

  • Novitiate Invitations Have Been Sent!

    Greetings, everyone!

    As some of you already know, invitations to become a Novitiate in the Spellmaker Novitiate program have been sent out.


    The Novitiate program is a program here at Spellmaker wherein we begin to teach those who are serious about eventually becoming an Initiated Priest or Priestess within our family line of New Orleans Voodoo.


    I am little concerned that some of you may not have received your intended invitation due to email glitches and computer gremlins. If you feel that you should have received an invitation (especially if we have talked about it before) and you have NOT received it, please write to us at office@spellmaker.com and let us know so that we can check. There is a good chance that if you were expecting to receive it and did not that it is lost in the land of the who-know-where-the-heck-the-email-goes.


    Also, because we thoroughly believe that people are led to us through many different ways, if you are reading this and didn’t know about the Novitiate program and are interested, you, too, can write to us and let us know so that we can consider you!


    It might be important to know exactly what a Novitiate is and what is expected and what is to be gained. So briefly…


    To become a Novitiate with our Family means that you are working towards becoming an initiated family member like Sister Candelaria and Sister Bridget.


    The Novitiate program takes at least three years, perhaps more, as each individual progresses on their own. There is no charge for the Novitiate program, but each Novitiate is expected to do some sort of service to the house. It is not meant to be a burden on anyone to be a Novitiate, so service will vary from person to person to include their abilities, available time, etc.


    Of course, it is completely confidential. There are rules and regulations and it can be a strict program at some points, however, we think that it is worth it to those who feel the calling to nuture and grow their own spiritual abilities and perhaps eventually help others.


    So if you feel like you should have gotten an invitation and didn’t, please let us know. If you are just hearing about this and feel like perhaps it is something for you, please let us know that, too, so that we may consider you for inclusion! But you need to let us know as soon as possible as we are eager to get this year’s Novitiates started! 🙂


    Love, light, and peace,

    Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • Hello everyone! Sister Bridget’s blog today is about the Pink Moon! I know a lot of you “old timers” use the Pink Bubble Meditation that I posted last year quite a bit. But I thought that perhaps some of the newer people don’t know about it and it seemed like a great day to repost it. I can’t think of a better time to do the Pink Bubble Meditation than during the Pink Moon! 🙂 Happy meditating!


    Post Reprint:

    Hello everyone!  Have you attempted meditation?  Meditation has been around for centuries and is used for many different manifestations of life:  health, love, anger management, relaxation, etc.  There are literally thousands of ways to meditate and assist in the manifestation of your goals. 

    In spell work we are often trying to attain a particular goal:  It may be love, money, a job, etc.  Whatever our reason for doing the spell work, adding in some creative meditations can certainly be a way of assisting your situation.

    Over the upcoming weeks, I would like to share with you some of my favorite meditation techniques. I hope you enjoy them!  The meditation technique below, the "Pink Bubble Meditation", is a wonderful meditation to use if you are working with our favorite love lwa, Erzulie Freda or working with pink candle magick or any other love magick.  🙂

    Love, Mambo Sam

    Pink Bubble Meditation Technique

    This meditation is simple and wonderfully effective.
    Exercise:

    • Sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes and breathe deeply, slowly, and naturally. Gradually relax and feel this meditation taking you deeper and deeper.
    • Imagine something that you would like to manifest. Imagine that is already happened.
    • Picture it as clearly as possibly in your mind. Now in your mind’s eye surround your fantasy with a pink bubble; put your goal inside the bubble. Pink is the color associated with the heart, and if this color vibrations surrounds whatever you visualize, it bring to you only that which is in perfect affinity with your being.
    • The third step is to let go of your bubble and imagine it floating off into the universe, still containing your vision. This symbolizes that you are emotionally ‘letting go” of it.
    • Now it’s free to float around the universe, attracting and gathering energy for it’s manifestation.

  • Our Niece, Need, and Petitioning!

    Hello everyone and Happy Birthday, BCM, (you know who you are!),
    Several years ago, before Matt and I got married, I met his niece for the first time. She was pretty young then, I think 5 years old. As luck would have it, she had just finished watching an infomercial for The Magic Bullet. I am sure most of you know what that is, but in case you don't, it is a small mixer/food processor type thingy – you know chops, whips, blends, all of that.

    Anyway, she was enchanted with this machine and proceeded to tell me all about it, in great detail, and why I NEEDED it. She did not tell me why I should want it, or even how much fun it would be, or anything like that. She explained to me (she is very smart) why I needed it. In fact, she told me several times within the conversation, you need one. Everyone needs one. You need it for your kitchen, etc.

    Well, I have a Magic Bullet, thanks in total to her, and use it all the time. LOL. By the time she finished convincing me, I thoroughly believed I needed it. I use it all the time and maybe I didn't actually need but I really enjoy it and am glad I have it.

    I was telling this story of why I got the Magic Bullet to someone recently. As I was telling this person it occurred to me that this would be a great way to petition in some love spell cases! Convince them that they NEED you; sell all your good points and how wonderfully fun and beneficial they are. 😉 Petitioning in such a way to tell a person why they need you in their life might, in some cases, be more effective than telling them why they want you in their life. It depends a lot on the kind of person that you are working on!

    This might be especially true if the person you are working on is a practical person. The kind of petitioning that reminds them that they need you in their life, just as you need them, might be just the trick!

    So next time you are petitioning with your spell kits or adjunct work, "magic bullet" those petitions and let's see what happens!

    Love, light, and peace,
    Mambo Sam
