Happy New Year!
Wishing each and every one of you the happiest of New Years! Below is a poem that MaMere sent me, and it is so splendid (of course!) that I really wanted to pass it along to you.

Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which
have the potential to turn a life around.
-Leo Buscaglia
Hey there!
Great News! Mambo Sam is now offering a solo casting option for The Ultimate Revenge spell! Previously, this spell was only available to do on your own, or as a dual casting. But as people lives become more demanding and time is at a premium for so many, Mambo Sam has decided to offer this spell with a solo casting option as well. Ordering a solo casting means that you get NINE HOURS of Mambo Sam's casting time for this (or any) spell! Remember, to work any revenge magick, you must still be justified. The justification for
revenge is that you were intentionally hurt through no fault of your own. The
measure for the level of revenge is that the other person be hurt as much, but
NOT more, than you were. For Mambo Sam to cast any spell for or with you, you do need to send in some material. Please see here.

Keep a spray bottle with some of Marie Laveau's House Blessing Cleaning Solution handy in your kitchen!
Why, you ask?
1. It smells great and leaves a lovely, clean scent whenever it is used : Countertops, Stovetops, Refrigerator, etc. It simply smells lovely! I have actually started using this solution when cleaning my cat box! I know, I know, but heck – it smells great! I will never use anything else again when scrubbing down the litter pan.
2. Had an unexpected visit from a nosy neighbor or cranky in-law? Spritz the area where they were sitting, and wipe down the door jamb they came and went thru for a quick, energetic clean up!
3. Have an disagreement with someone on the telephone? Take a paper towel damp with House Blessing Solution and wipe down the phone.
4. It is great for the car, too!
5. Keep a spray bottle at work to clean off your desk or work area. You will not believe how much better you feel being there and how lovely the scent! Coworkers will be asking to borrow your cleaning supplies!
Please let me know your experiences with this great energetic and physical cleanser! Leave a comment!

…..this is such a common question I hear from clients. It is so easy in the process of magick to get caught up in the minutia of day to day events, and lose our sight of the long term goal.
"S/he un-friended me on FB"
"S/he has a new friend on FB"
"S/he saw me online but did not chat with me"
"S/he drove past me but did not wave"
etc etc etc
the list could go on, but you get the idea (PS these are REALLY very common things I hear from folks, I am in no way singleling anyone out at all – please dont think that). While in the moment, and with the emotional state we can be in with casting and processing (Yup – the spell CASTER does some processing as well) I can see how these events listed above, and others, can make one thing the world is falling apart…..but if we just take a beat, and a few deep breaths, and set our sights on the long term goal again, things will resume there proper perspective – I promise! Waiting is hard – I often think it is the hardest part of things – but it is also the extremely important! The calmer and more centered and more positive you can stay in the waiting peroid, the better shape you will be in physically, emotionally, and spiritually when your results begin to manifest 😉 That is NOT to be underrated. You cant give from an empty cup, and there arent any awards for handwringing, either. Make the best of the waiting period, keep your eye on the GOAL LINE, not on the ant on the blade of grass at your feet right now, and you will get to the finish line a healthier, fuller YOU.
Hmmmm – not sure where that rant came from, but I feel better now 😉
Anyway, here is a song I found (its a goodie) to help you keep your eye on the goal, and let go of the stress of today.
What Happens Tomorrow by Duran Duran
Child, don't you worry
It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
Brings you down the news they sell you
To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure
But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
If you let me I'll protect you however I can
You've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
Fighting, because we're so close
There are times we punish those who we need the most
No, we can't wait for a saviour
Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
It would seem lonely, if you were the only star in the night
You've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe
it'll be alright again
time is a river
a silent icy river
pulls us all
running deep
deep and fast enough to get lost down in the flow
thrashing around me
tiny lives mean everything
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go, now we've come this far
Hope I have peace
Understand me
you're never alone
We've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
nobody knows
You've got to believe
it'll be alright my friend
So don't let go
Unless we believe
it'll be alright again
Nobody knows

One of my favorite Saints, EVER! Why? Partly because of the quotes at the bottom of this post, and he did great works for the poor, and is the patron Saint of Charities, but also, because, well, he was known to be a grouch! Granted, a grouch who was extremely sensitive to the needs of others, but also human as well, with his own frailties. I have not ever read about a Saint before where they were quite described in this manner, and it brings to the fore for me that we can all do good work, and sometimes, just sometimes, not feel very "Saintly" Anyway, if you would like to read more about St Vincent De Paul, please look here!

"Strive to live content in the midst of those things that cause your discontent. Free your mind from all that troubles you, God will take care of things. You will be unable to make haste in this [choice] without, so to speak, grieving the heart of God, because he sees that you do not honor him sufficiently with holy trust. Trust in him, I beg you, and you will have the fulfillment of what your heart desires" (St. Vincent de Paul, Letters).

Isn't that what spellwork is all about?
And you thought he just made sausage!
