  • Papa Legba Month!

    Hi everyone! Hopefully by now you have received the special email about June being Papa Legba month at www.spellmaker.com!


    We will be doing three FREE main rituals on the feast days of the three saints with which Papa is syncretized. These three feast days all fall in June, thus our proclamation of June as Papa Alegba Month at Spellmaker! (June 13-Saint Anthony,June 21-Saint Lazarus,June 29-St. Peter). We will also be doing rituals throughout the month of June, but the main rituals will be on those days.


    Of course, we are encouraging yuo to you to send in a letter with your petitions that you would like to be included in the rituals for Papa Alegba. When writing your letter, please be sure that you are writing the letter to Papa Alegba himself, and be sure that your letter is appropriate. For example, you would NOT write to Papa Alegba asking, “Please make Johnny love me.” However, if yours is a love case you could ask Papa to “Please open communication between Johnny and I so that he can see the love in my heart.” The difference is subtle, but important. You could also ask Papa to remove blockages and clear the path between you and the one you love.


    Communication is such a huge part of all relationships of any kind – love, work, friends, etc. Remember, Papa not only speaks all languages but has the ability to translate all languages. So asking him to “translate” your words into words that someone else can understand is a really good petition.


    Of course, if you do not have a love situation, you could ask that Papa open the gate and clear the path to any goal that you have in mind. You can ask for anything, but to be most effective, try to be sure that what you are asking is within the scope of Papa!


    To be included in these rituals, please email your petition to papalegba@spellmaker.com. There is no charge at all to be included in these rituals and you do not need to purchase anything at all. If you do have or will be getting the Papa Alegba Knock-Knock™ Ritual Kit, or any of the other products, using them on the days we are doing the rituals will maximize their effectiveness for you! You certainly could just light some candles and use Papa’s oil and incense or take the Papa Alegba Clear Path™ Red and White bath. Anything you can do on those days, or any days in June, will be helpful in realizing your petitions. We have decided not to do a special ritual pack for this ritual because we already have specialized products for Papa that you can use during our ritual days.

    We have also included, on Papa’s page, a small, free ritual that you can do if you don’t have the Papa Alegba Knock Knock™ Ritual pack and/or cannot afford to purchase it right now. Money, or the lack of it, hopefully will not prevent you from participating!


    For the first time, also, there is a “donation button” on the Papa Legba page. Many folks have requested a way to donate for these free rituals that we do – just to help us cover costs, etc., if they weren’t planning on purchasing anything in particular at that time. It is neither required nor expected for anyone to donate anything, but for those of you asked to have a way to donate, the donate button is toward the bottom of the page at www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm. Thank you to those of you who asked for a way to donate! We appreciate it. πŸ™‚


    Again, these rituals will be ongoing through June. The sooner you get your petition letter in to papalegba@spellmaker.com, the more times your letter will be included in the rituals! We really look forward to doing these rituals.


    Love to all,

    Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • Buddhist Prayer.

    Hello everyone, happy  Monday!

    Many times I speak with people who want to pray, but don't really want to pray to any particular diety, saint, or being.  They just want to say a prayer of good wishes, love, etc.  I think this Buddhist prayer fits the bill very well and we could all benefit from the beautiful wishes of this prayer:

    "May all beings have happiness, and the causes of happiness.
    May all be free from sorrow, and the causes of sorrow.
    May all never be separated from the sacred happiness
    which is sorrowless.
    And may all live in equanimity,
    without too much attachment and too much aversion,
    And live believing in the equality of all that lives.

    May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
    May all beings everywhere,
    The strong and the weak,
    The great and the small,
    The mean and the powerful,
    The short and the long,
    the subtle and the gross:
    May all beings everywhere,
    Seen and unseen,
    Dwelling far off or nearby,
    Being or waiting to become:
    May all be filled with lasting joy.
    Let no one deceive another,

    Let no one anywhere despise another,
    Let no one out of anger or resentment
    Wish suffering on anyone at all.
    Just as a mother with her own life
    Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
    So within yourself let grow
    A boundless love for all creatures.

    Let your love flow outward through the universe,
    To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
    A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
    Then as you stand or walk,
    Sit or lie down,
    As long as you are awake,
    Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
    Your life will bring heaven to earth."

    ———–end of prayer————–

    Now, of course, it is a great accomplishment to pray this prayer and FEEL it truly.  However, I do think that there is a great deal of power in this prayer and a great deal of help for all who pray it.

    Love, light, and peace, Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • New Customer Service Email Address

    Happy Sunday, one and all!

    I want to let you all know that we now have a new customer service email address. It’s a pretty easy one: customerservice@spellmaker.com – catchy, huh? πŸ˜‰


    Of course we are always striving to serve you the best way that we can, but realize that even under the best of circumstances sometimes things can go wrong, miscommunications can occur, and misunderstandings can happen to anyone! No matter what the problem or challenge might be, we want to work with you to resolve it satisfactorily!


    I have noticed that many times people approach the idea of “customer service” in an angry and defensive way…. almost as if one expects to be put off or ignored and so, to get the attention one needs, the first line of attack is through anger. There is no reason to do that with us. If you are experiencing any kind of challenge with us, we want to resolve it! We want you to be happy, content, and satisified.


    It is unrealistic to think that any business is going to get it right all the time. Everyone everywhere makes mistakes! We try to be extremely careful NOT to make mistakes, but when I woke up this morning we were all human, and I expect the same thing tomorrow morning, too. πŸ˜‰ So, all we are asking is that if you are having a problem with us, that you let us know and let us try to fix it!


    If you are writing to customer service, for fastest service, please include your full name (first and last/surname), an order number (if you are referring to a product or service that you have purchased), and a synopsis of what the challenge is. If you have an idea of what you would like to happen to resolve the issue, we would love it if you put that in there, too! πŸ™‚


    Please remember that we never, ever guarantee that anyone will get a particular result with spell work or spell products. It is really impossible to do that! But we do guarantee that we will always try our best for you, that our products and services are 100% authentic, and that we will work with you on any issue you encounter.


    Having said that, I hope each and every one of you never, ever needs to write to customer service! πŸ˜‰


    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.”


    Love, light, and peace,

  • May 15th – Special Day for Cousin Azacca and Saint Isidore πŸ˜‰

    May
    15th is a special day – it is the feast day of our beloved Cousin
    Azacca, as well as St Isidore the Farmer, who Cousin Azacca is syncretized with
    .

    You
    can read the free Spellmaker.com newsletter about Cousin Azacca here :

    http://www.spellmaker.com/SpellmakerNewsletter/Issue2.htm

    Isidore
    the Farmer, (Spanish:
    San Isidro Labrador), (c. 1070 – May 15, 1130), was a Spanish day laborer.
    Isidore was born to very poor yet very pious Catholic parents in Madrid, Spain.
    His parents were unable to support him when he was a youth and sent him to work
    for a wealthy landowner, John de Vergas (He ended up working for him for the
    rest of his life). St. Isidore loved to attend the
    Holy Mass before going to work in the morning. Because of this, he usually
    arrived late at work. His fellow workers complained to their master Juan de
    Vargas who investigated the matter by himself. He found out the truth that St.
    Isidore went to mass daily and arrived at work late. Moreover, he discovered
    something – that while St. Isidore was praying in the church, his angels plowed
    the field for Him. He also discovered that while St. Isidore was plowing the
    field, two angels plowed with him at his sides so that his work was equivalent
    to the work of three farmers. From then on, they respected him.
    He was
    known for his love of the poor, and there are accounts of Isidore’s supplying
    them miraculously with food. here was also an
    occasion when one snowy day, when going to the mill with corn to be ground
    which his wife had gleaned, he passed a flock of wood-pigeons scratching vainly
    for food on the hard surface of the frosty ground. Taking pity on the poor
    animals, he poured half of his sack of precious corn upon the ground for the
    birds, despite the mocking of witnesses. When he reached the mill, however, the
    bag was full, and the corn, when it was ground, produced double the expected
    amount of flour.
    He had a great concern for the proper treatment of
    animals. He died May 15, 1130, and was declared a saint in 1622 with Ignatius
    of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri. Together, the group
    is known in Spain as β€œthe five saints.”

    Thumbs_saint-isidore-the-farmer-01

    Patron
    Saint of farmers, field hands, day laborers, ranchers, livestock, rural
    communities and asking for rain.

    Saint
    Isidore the Farmer is invoked for the concerns affecting livestock,
    agriculture, and good weather and is even invoked for picnics.

    From the Spellmaker.com newsletter: No matter what you are trying to
    grow in your life, May 15 is the perfect day to offer a feast to Azacca! Set up
    a small altar using his colors and offerings: A piece of denim makes the
    perfect altar cloth for him, yellow and green candles, a container of dirt,
    small gardening tools, etc. Spend some time thinking of what plants need
    nurturing in your life garden and ask Azacca to nourish them and help them
    grow! Ask him to renew and rejuvenate any wilting plants and cut out all the
    weeds!

    Have a great day and a wonderful weekend! Get out there and play in some dirt!

    Light and Love

  • Free Chocolate Every Friday! Really!

    At first, I thought it was a hoax – definately too good to be true. But it was on the news – more than one channel, even. As I was sitting in the waiting room while my car was being serviced, I kept flipping from cable news channel to cable news channel – Surely, they all couldn't be wrong……

    So, when I got home later on, I checked out the website that was being mentioned, and it does seem to be TRUE!

    The Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act is real! Every Friday at 9am ET thru September, Mars Candy Company will be giving away 250,000 coupons for a free candy bar every week!

    Check it out! There may not be any such thing as a free lunch, but there are free candy bars!
