  • FREE RITUAL TO ERZULIE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!

    Hello everyone!  Yes, we are doing it again!  :-)  As February nears, we cannot help but have our thoughts turn to one of the most beloved (and sometimes most dreaded) holidays of the year.

    For three years now, we have been doing a special free ritual at the Spellmaker office in honor of Vodou love goddess, Erzulie Freda. Many of you have called and written to see if we are going to do the ritual again this year and yes we are!

    As always, we will ask that you send us an email with your requests for the ritual.  There is no charge to be involved in the ritual.  We do have products dedicated to Erzulie available again and this year we have added a special one-day ritual kit that we are offering. 

    So many people enjoyed the Sobo Ritual Pack that we decided to create one for Erzulie Freda!  However, there is no need to purchase anything to be included in the ritual – the Erzulie Ritual Pack is a convenience for those who wish to use it.

    Check it all out at www.spellmaker.com/erzulie.htm

    Love, Mambo Sam

  • Knock Knock – Guess Who is Here!

    That's Right! The Papa Legba Ritual Pack  is finished and ready to ship! From what I hear, Legba was VERY meticulous about what and how he wanted things to be – JUST PERFECT of course! 

    Because we so often call upon Papa Alegba to help us with our communication with other lwa, we might almost forget to call upon his own great abilities to help us. Have a path that seems blocked to you? Doors won't open for you? Having troubling making someone you love understand what you want? Stuck at your own crossroads of life and don't know which way to turn? Our dear Papa is there for that and so much more! Few other lwa can offer as much comfort and understanding as Papa. His shoulder is there for us to cry upon; his arms welcome those who need safe haven. Few things are as satisfying spiritually as spending an evening doing a great service to Papa Alegba!

     

    Mambo and Matt  have put together a wonderful Ritual and Service package dedicated to Papa. This package not only includes instructions for a full authentic ritual, but also includes candles, special oil and incense developed on the point of and under the direction of Papa Alegba through Mambo Sam, veve, picture, and a number of unique and wonderful sacred items that have been dedicated and consecrated to Papa. Once you have this, you can do the ritual to Papa over and over again! There will be no need to purchase this package again. The ritual will be yours to use and you need only replace the oil, incense, and candles as needed!

    Order yours today!

  • New Beginnings……it’s never too late.

    20099639

    Happy 2009! With the Inauguration earlier this week, and so much talk on the tv and news and web about reinventing America, about banding together and helping each other, it really got me thinking about new beginnings and what that means to me.

    The more and more I thought about it, I dont believe its EVER too late for a new beginning, to begin reinventing oneself, to head for a path full of light rather than dark. Sometimes I have been stuck in quite a funk, or a rut, or what have you, just like many of the people that write me (Believe me when I tell you I HAVE been where you are, and I do know what you are going thru!). This time of year is especially bad, as it is when we often see New Years Resolutions go by the wayside, the days are short, and in many areas, the weather is bad. It can be a very low time for people. And the whole Resolution gig – who came up with that? Not anyone who lived in today's chaotic world!

    After surfing the net a bit, I came across the idea of something called a Personal Mission Statement. Some of you business-minded folks might know about Mission Statements as they relate to businesses and corporations. Well, a Personal Mission Statement isn't all that much different. It is a mission statement, or collection of affirmations about how you want to live your life. What values guide you? What long term goals do you desire? Think of a personal mission statement as a new years resolution that you have a lifetime to work towards – that if you stray from your path, the next day you get up and dust yourself off and turn your compass back towards your mission statement.

    Over the next few blogs, I will go over the steps to writing a personal mission statement, and if you have any questions, please do post them in the comments. You can even post your results after each step if you like 😉 I think that would be encouraging to others as well! I am really looking forward  to this process, and I hope you enjoy it.

    On a side note – those of you with the Winter doldrums have no fear — February is coming! I know, I know, I hear you, February is still Winter……. BUT it is also the month of the Spellmaker Family month long ritual to Erzulie Freda! And that ALWAYS warms things up where ever you may be! Keep your eyes pealed for an email from Mambo Sam about Erzulie Fest 2009!

  • 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!

  • Money and Luck Magick

    Greetings everyone!  It is no secret that these are trying financial times!  To that end, we have recently reduced the price of many of our luck and money magick products to try to help ease some of the crunch that so many of us are feeling.

    Also, there is a rather humble but delicious New Orleans stew that can be prepared ritualistically to hopefully bring financial help into one's home.   

    New Orleans Voodoo Lucky Penny Stew

    1 quart boiling water
    1 cup beef stew meat
    4 cups cut up cabbage
    1 large white onion, chopped
    2 large tomatoes, chopped
    1 cup fresh spinach, washed and torn into small pieces
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/4 cup garlic powder
    1/4 cup onion powder
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 cup dark red wine
    1 green candle*
    3 shiny pennies*

    *Before beginning your cooking, set up a green candle in the kitchen and surround it with 3 shiny pennies. Light the candle and say, "Hey, Legba, open the gate, let my words carry to the other side. Thank you." Pause a moment. Then say, "Capitaine Agouer (pronounced "ah-ghwAY"), I humbly ask that you help me in providing for my family, myself, and others that may be in need." Then begin your food preparation with your petition in mind. Keep your petition in mind and honor Capitain Agouer during the preparation of the food.

    Add all ingredients except the meat, cabbage, spinach, and raisins to the pot of boiling water and reduce to a simmer. Add in the meat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook for 40 minutes at a low simmer. Turn off flame and add 1/2 cup red wine to pot and stir. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve with black eyed peas to insure prosperity.

    BEFORE YOU EAT: Before you eat the stew, take 1/2 cup out and put it in a pretty paper cup or bowl. Place it in front of the burning candle as an offering to Capitaine Agouer. After the meal, take the food offering and the three pennies outside and leave it under a tree. Stamp the ground three times with your foot and say, "Blessings and thanks to you Capitaine Agouer."

    Happy cooking and blessings to all of those in need of help.

    Love, Mambo Sam

  • Working on the Spellmaker Information Board

    Hello everyone!  As most of you have probably noticed, we are working on revamping the old forum into our new Spellmaker Information Board. 

    After much deliberation with my family and staff, there seemed to be a general consensus that keeping the forum, but turning it into much more of an informational type of resource was the way for us to go.   Although my original intention was for the board to represent an uplifting and spiritual community, it just did not seem to serve that function.  Instead, it seemed to me (and the many clients who have written to me) to have begun to serve the function of having a few people who were down in the dumps work hard to drag everyone else down there with them.   The deleterious effect on spell work from that kind of negativity is monumental! 

    Additionally, no matter how many different resources I try, nor how much I pay for web board services, there always seems to be a way for hackers to get in and get people’s email addresses.  So again we were faced with certain members getting ugly, threatening, manipulative, and coercive emails.  🙁   For the life of me, I do not know why people insist on doing this, but definitely the phrase "misery loves company" leaps to mind.

    The other problem that I found dramatically disturbing is the amount of bad advice clients give each other!  Some clients who feel that they have a higher understanding of how the products work actually have NO such special knowledge and we have had to spend a great deal of time fixing the problems that occur from clients taking advice from other clients.

    We have superior customer service and clients do not need to advise each other!  In fact, many cases have been set back greatly by listening to, "my friend from the forum."   The reason we have caseworker support, technical support, phone support, and online chat support is so that you can get the correct information, not supposition from the proliferation of "hey I have used a candle magick kit and know everything" clients who give out erroneous information.

    So, for the good of everyone, we will continue to have the forum, but it will be an informational forum.  The great thing about it is that we will continue to add information there and it will be a great resource for those needing information about products, service to Les Lois, New Orleans Voodoo, and much more over time.  It will all be there in one nice compact place and that will be awesome.

    We also will still continue to answer questions that we feel would benefit the Spellmaker community as a whole.  When you visit the board now, please read the first section about how to use the board.  In there it will give you information on where to send your questions that you would like to see the answers to posted on the board.  If we feel that your question is of benefit to the majority, then the question and answer will be posted on the forum. 

    I hope you all enjoy the new format and keep on the look out for more information to be posted there.

    Love, Mambo Sam
