Hi there!
Those of you who were at our recent Video Conference saw the Dollar Store Voodoo presentation by Mambo Sam and myself. These two little fellows are my most recent dollar store find, just before Fet Ghede. Arent they adorable? They were 2 for a dollar! I used them on my Fet Ghede altar this year 🙂

Just because the leaves are off the trees, doesn't mean we can't continue to serve Gran Bwa! Feeding the birds is a wonderful way to serve Gran Bwa in the colder months. Here is a bird feeder I found at the siore that reminded me of Ogoun as well 🙂
Light and Love,

Hi everyone! I am sure that some of you remember my post from 2007 about the Chinese Harvest Moon Ritual!
It is almost time for that festival to be celebrated all over the world again – September 22, 2010 is the date that the festival falls on this year.
The link above will take you to the page where I explained the festival and one of the intriguing aspects of the harvest moon ritual – single ladies looking for the right man to be brought to them! 🙂
It is such a fun and beautiful legend. It is a wonderful time, also, to honor our dear Erzulie Freda and you can do her ritual pack, or any of our other products dedicated to her, in conjunction with doing the harvest moon ritual!
If nothing else, please do click on my link to read about the Chinese Harvest Moon Ritual because it is such a beautiful and fascinating tradition!
Love, light, and peace,

Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to say that our Free Shipping is going to have to end soon! The increases in postal rates (hahahahaha, I just accidently wrote postal "rats" – wonder if I should have just left it that way) over the past couple of years are just making it cost-prohibitive for us. :-(
We have been really happy to bring this value-added service to our clients over the last couple of years, but it is hitting us hard in the pocket book. Rather than secretly increase prices and still say that the shipping is "free" like so many retailers do, we would rather actually just tell you the truth and say that we just can't afford to do the free shipping for much longer.
We haven't totally decided yet, but right now we are looking at a $3.00 flat rate for shipping by the method of our choice (usually first class mail), and $6.00 if you want it shipped by Priority Mail. So this will be for any weight or number of items shipped in the USA, so it will still be relatively inexpensive, just not FREE like we wanted it to be! International Rates and Express Mail rates are charged exactly what we pay, so that will remain the same.
There is also the chance for Free Shipping in the USA to return when this recession is truly over (seriously, when is this going to get better???) and there is more money to go around for everyone!
Come on, better days!!!!!!
Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Samantha Corfield

Hey there!
Do you have a favorite story about our beloved Ogoun that you would like to share? Recently, I was speaking with a friend and she relayed an incredible account to me about how Ogoun helped her through a very difficult situation. It got me wondering who else out there might have an Ogoun story they might like to share. If you have an experience you would like to share, please do so here in the comments section 😉 Also, if you are on Facebook, you could post your experience here.
Looking forward to reading about your adventures with Ogoun!

Great New Product!
Ever wish you could soak in the waters of your favorite Haitian Formula Vodou Bath again, but completed a full ritual bath not so long ago? Now you can! Vodou Bath Refresher Packs are now available. These are NOT the full bath kits. This is
the herbal bath mixture ONLY.All the herbs used in the baths are organic and the baths refresher packs are prepared in the traditional Haitian way. These should only be used if you have
already done the original bath kit at least once. For instance, if you
have done a Milk of Damballah™ bath kit several months ago and you are
feeling the need for another one. You can choose to either do the whole
bath kit again OR use the refresher pack to just call back upon that
same energy again. Again, sorry to repeat myself, but these are not the
full bath kits – just the herbal bath mixture for purposes of
refreshing an older bath kit you have already completed.
Thanks Mambo Sam!

Hello There!
Please check out Spellmaker's new interactive catalog!
The catalog is laid out in the same way that a printed catalog would be, so please keep that in mind as you are navigating through it. However, the catalog can
also be printed out, if you have two-sided printing capabilities you can make
own little catalog 🙂
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
In Service,
Sister Bridget
