  • September 27th ~~ St. Vincent de Paul

    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).

  • Happy 09/09/09 to you!

    Hello all you magickal creatures!  :-)  Parran Matt and I are preparing all the ingredients to make our Love Potion #9 for those of you who ordered it!  We have all the big pots in the house filling up with wine.  I picked the basil and roses right out of our own garden and we harvested the apple seeds last night (I am going to be making a lot of apple pie filling later on!). 

    Don't forget, though, this is a great day to do ANY magick, say prayers, light a candle, do whatever spiritual endeavors you like.  The power of the triple 3's in the 09/09/09 day is sure to give a huge boost to whatever magick you are doing!

    Even if you can't do any magick today, try to allow the energy and power of this day wash over you.  Make it a lucky day for you!  Do something wonderful for yourself and someone else – remember that magick needs a carrier!  Be the magickal carrier today – spread joy and luck from your heart to the heart of others.

    Love, Mambo Sam

  • Love Potion Number 9 – 09/09/09

    Hello everyone,

    Happy Monday! While I am still working on the comparative religion project (and thank you all for your suggestions), I did want to mention that the time to make your Love Potion #9 is fast upon us!


    This year will be a particularly wonderful year for making this potion because it will be made on 09/09/09 this year! 🙂 Of course that gives us the triple threat, right? 😉


    For some reason, there always seem to be some confusion on when the “ninth hour” of the day is – even though I have it printed on the instructions that the ninth hour of ANY day is 9:00 a.m., not 9:00 p.m. – so the potion is supposed to be made at 9:00 a.m.


    Because this is such a special year for making the potion, if there is enough interest, we will make a big batch here at Spellmaker and make it available for purchase, if folks wnat it. Obviously, 09/09/09 isn’t going to be around again, so we are in a position to make a very strong batch of this potion! Usually we do not make here for sale at the Spellmaker office, but because of the special date, we will make it this time if people are interested.


    If there is enough interest and we do make the batch, we will make a big batch and then consecrate the bottles individually for those who want to purchase it. We would probably make it available in about an 8 ounce container – so that would be more than enough for personal usage.


    So, if you think you might interested in purchasing a container from us and/or you cannot make your own for any reason, please email us at customerservice@spellmaker.com and let us know. If there is enough interest, we will definitely do it!


    In the meantime, check out the Spellmaker Forum for the recipe or click the link above for the recipe for making your own Love Potion #9!


    Love, light, and peace,

    Isn't that what spellwork is all about?

  • Meditation and Focus Exercise Wrap Up!

    Hello everyone! It was so heartening to see that so many of you participated in this.  Truly, what this has been all about is manifesting your destiny!  I encourage you to keep track of where these exercises are. This time, we used them in a very general, self-awareness way.  However, they can also be pin-pointed to use to solve problems, meet challenges, manifest things into your life.

    Now you can go back and read your writings.  Highlight those things that jump out at you. What did you discover about yourself, others, your relationship to people, places, and things?  This time we did this exercise to help with self-awareness and to help you get used to this form of work.  You will only do a few things differently to use this to help manifest things in your life. 

    Best of all, you can use these exercises right along with any Spellmaker spell work or adjunct work that you are doing! For instance, if you were doing a nine day spell kit, you could do each day along with your spell kit – configuring the subject of your thoughts to the goal you are working on. If you were working on love spell work, you would start out reconfiguring your question slightly, such as, "Who am I in relation to Fred?" Then you would follow along the same pattern of reconfiguring your meditation questions to parallel your spell work.

    You could do the same with candle work or any other of our magickal work – you can just slightly reconfigure your questions to work towards your goal. However, you do still want to stick with the basic questions and the basic pattern of questions – just reconfigure them to make sense with what you are doing.

    After you have worked with this exercise for awhile, you will find that you turn to it more and more to solve problems, etc. You can use alongside any project, magickal or otherwise.

    I also wanted to mention that the guidance to present these exercises, find the appropriate pictures, etc., came to me in a meditation and just rushed forward so fast that I almost could not write down the original 9 questions you should ask for the meditation itself!  It was wonderfully overwhelming!

    I hope you enjoyed it! I would love to hear all of your comments and thoughts on this.

    Love to all,

  • Defiance.

    Hi everyone! Mambo and I watched a movie the other night titled, “Defiance.”  Have you seen this movie?  It is a powerful film about the human spirit, survival, and love.  It is also a true story.  If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.


    One thing among many that really struck me was the love story component to this story.  I don’t really want to give the story away, but love grew in probably the most adverse conditions that one could experience.  It would seem that love, romantic love, would have been the last thing on peoples’ minds in these conditions.  But it existed.  Not only did the love exist, it grew, thrived, and lasted for many years between some of the couples.


    It got me to thinking – are some people lazy about love?  If everything isn’t perfect, the perfect man or woman, the perfect restaurant date, the perfect flowers and gifts, then does it mean the love is lessened?  I think a good question to ask is can you love under adverse conditions?  What happens when the “perfect” man or woman becomes less than perfect due to some terrible circumstance?  Do you walk away, or do you still see the perfection under the circumstance?


    So much emphasis is put on what someone you love has to be – what he or she has to do, give, become – that I cannot help but wonder if some people are just soft and lazy where love is concerned. To watch this movie and see these people falling in love under horrific circumstances was just mind blowing. On the other hand, I suppose that under horrific circumstances would be a great place to bond, share the fear and horror with someone.


    Anyway, if you want to see what I am talking about, watch the film!


    Love, Parran Matt

  • Take time to……..

    This poem goes right hand in hand with what is happenin' over on Mambo Sam's blog. I hope you enjoy it and are doing well with Mambo's exercises~

     

    Take time to…. by Anon.

    Take time to think; it is the source of power.
    Take time to need; it is the foundation of wisdom
     
    Take time to play; it is the secret of staying young.
    Take time to be quiet; it is the opportunity to seek thy soul.
     
    Take time to be aware; it is the opportunity to help others.
    Take time to love and be loved; it is God's greatest gift.
     
    Take time to laugh; it is the music of the soul.
    Take time to be friendly; it is the road to happiness.
     
    Take time to dream; it is what the future is made of.

    Take time to meditate; it is the greatest power on earth.

  • Meditation and Focus Exercise Day 7: Who loves me?

    Hello, welcome to Day Seven of our exercise.

    Instructions:  Take a few deep breaths and relax yourself. Stare at the picture below with the thought in mind:  "Who loves me?"   Spend about 3-5 minutes staring at the picture and asking yourself the same question, "Who loves me?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down some of your impressions.  When you are done writing, stare at the picture again and ask yourself the same question, "Who loves me?" After about 3-5 minutes, write down your impressions. Repeat the process one more time.  After your final writing down of your impressions (you should have written something down three separate times), close your notebook and do not go back and read your impressions. Get up and get away from your computer for a few minutes, drink some water, or take a short walk.  Come back tomorrow and do Day Eight. 🙂

    Love,
