  • Damballah and St. Patrick’s Day Ritual

    Happy Friday everyone!
    The ever-delightful Simone Green writes:
    "Hi Mambo, Can we include Damballah in the ritual? Since St. Patrick is his saint, and to add extra luck?"

    Yes, of course, feel free to add service to Damballah into your Sobo ritual on St. Patrick's Day! 🙂 Never hurts to have a little Damballah on your side. Damballah is often represented in Vodou rituals by St. Patrick (though I remain a bit perplexed at that since St. Patrick is credited for running the snakes OUT of Ireland..and no one is running Damballah out of anywhere if he doesn't want to go!  LOL). Of course, the reason is because St. Patrick is portrayed many times with snakes in the picture. The more years that pass, though, the more I am a Moses/Damballah syncretizer, but traditionally it is St. Patrick.

    At any rate, I don't think it is a far stretch at all to do some service to Damballah with your Sobo ritual. For us, "coincidentally" Sobo, Damballah, and Ayida Ouedo used to share space in our previous altar room. 😉 When you think about it, it makes perfect sense! Damballah is full of wisdom and power, both necessary to obtain and KEEP one's money. His wife, Ayida Ouedo, is represented by the rainbow! Where is that pot of gold?? At the end of the rainbow, of course!

    So, yes, Simone, I think including Damballah (and of course Ayida Ouedo) into your Sobo ritual is a pretty good bet.

    Including Damballah into your ritual can be quite easy. A very simple offering of a white egg, either boiled or left raw, sitting in a dish of white flour is a very common and well-received offering to Damballah. Finding a picture of a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it and putting it on your altar will serve and acknowledge Ayida Ouedo and tie in nicely with your petitions to Sobo for wealth and security.

    Great idea, Simone! Thank you!

    Love,light, and peace,
    Mambo Samantha Corfield
    P.S. If you have not gotten in your petitions for the Sobo ritual, please do! Check out all the information about the Wealth and Security Ritual at www.spellmaker.com/sobo.htm! Remember, we do this ritual all month long starting March 17.

  • Prayer for today.

    Hi There,
    I received this prayer in my inbox today from a dear client. Reading it made me feel so empowered I just had to pass it along…….

    St. Theresa's Prayer:

     'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you

     are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of

     faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and

     pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself

     just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

     soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every

     one of us.'

  • The Return of SOBO!

    The Spellmaker Family is again planning a free group ritual for the great Lwa of wealth and security, Sobo! We had such great feedback about the first ritual, that it will be repeated this month on St. Patrick's Day!

    As before, absolutely no purchase is necessary to participate or to be included in our Family ritual. A ritual kit is available for those who are interested, but the full ritual has been posted online by Mambo Sam as well.

    Be sure to  send in your ritual request to us as soon as possible. All you need to do is send us an email to sobomylwa@spellmaker.com.
    This will insure that you are included in our family ritual on December
    9, 2008. In your email to us you should explain what your financial
    needs are and what you hope for us to accomplish by including you in
    the ritual. We suggest that you make your requests something that
    actually stands a good chance of happening: A promotion at work,
    finding a job, having old debts paid, finding new ways to make money,
    keeping your job(!), etc.,etc. We do NOT recommend that you ask for
    something such as winning the lottery. Everyone wants to win
    the lottery!! But this is not something easily controlled by spiritual
    methods! It is too impersonal and involves things that spirits would
    not know how to control. Plus if one million people are petitioning to
    win the lottery, what happens if they all win? Why would only YOU win??
    Therefore, it is important to try to make your petitions make sense for
    your life – what could happen in your personal life to insure your
    wealth and security? If you are unsure, then simply ask that the
    spirits find the best way to help you! That is a good petition!!

    "See"  you all on St Patrick's Day and much luck and love to you all!

  • Top 10 Things You Don’t Know About My Wife!

    Of course you all know my wife, the delectable Mambo Sam. But I think there are few things you don't know about her:

    10. She types in her sleep, literally. I guess all those hours on the computer just go to bed with her.

    9.   She plays a mean "Guitar Hero."

    8.   She is not as tough-skinned as you think she is.

    7.   She can't cast her fishing line very far but always catches the biggest fish. (Wait a minute, I think she made me say that.  I am sure I caught the biggest fish last time. No, I am mistaken, SHE caught the biggest fish.)

    6.   She worries, thinks about, stews over clients just about every waking moment.

    5.   She cannot be beat at Scrabble.

    4.   She can cook eggs at least 20 different ways (all good).

    3.   She will do almost anything to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

    2.   She can shoot straight if she doesn't have to shoot too far.

    1.   ….it really IS from "The Chambers of the Enchantress."  (If you don't know what that means, I guess you will just have to stick around and be a Spellmaker client longer!)

    Have fun out there people!

  • Spellmaker Community Pages!

    Hi there, everyone!<BR>

    Good morning! 🙂 I am working on a project to have a whole section of the Spellmaker website dedicated to building a community for those who wish to feel more a part of what we do.

    I would really love it if you could send me pictures of your altars or any rituals you have done and took pictures of, or any pictures you take in the future. Obviously, make sure that if you don’t want your surroundings to be recognizable, that you take your pictures in such a way that nothing personal is showing. For those of you who are out of the voodoo closet and don’t mind having your picture shown, we would love that, too! 🙂 Regardless, your name and place of residence would always be kept confidential, even if we have permission to show your picture.

    This will also include resurrection of the Spellmaker Forum, though it will have sort of a different nature to it. There are plenty of places to see and say negative things, the Forum will not be one of them. Sister Bridget is working diligently on the forum to renovate it into a happy, productive, and supportive place!

    We have a few other little goodies up our sleeves for you and can’t wait to show you around once it is done!

    Meanwhile, if you have pictures, please just send them to me at ReverendCorfield@aol.com. Almost any format will work for me. Don’t worry if you think your pictures aren’t that great! You don’t have to be a professional photographer to share.  Personally, I love altar and ritual pictures… I enjoy seeing others’, especially because I feel a little part of that ritual. 

     Every altar and ritual picture can be a source of inspiration for someone, so you never know who you will be helping along their path!

    Love,light, and peace,
    Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • More about St. Patrick’s Day Ritual!

    Hello everyone!
    We are really excited to be doing the Sobo ritual again here for St. Patrick's Day. So many of you reported really excellent results with the one we did in December. (Time really flies; it seems like we just did it and here it is March!!)

    It is important to remember, though, that sometimes there are smaller results, or more long term results, that we forget to recognize. I had one client tell me that she did the Sobo ritual, but nothing happened. Then in the next moment she told me that over the last month or so she has had more clients in her business than she ever had before. 🙂 I did gently point this out to her and she said, "Oh, I didn't look at it that way." Of course, then she did see what I was talking about!

    Results from all rituals can often take some time. Sometimes circumstances have to be rearranged in the background where we never see that happening, so we think "nothing" is happening. Then, when something does happen, sometimes a couple of months down the line, we don't remember to give credit to that which we set in motion!

    In these economic times, that might be especially true of the Sobo ritual. Sure, of course, Sobo wants to help us all. But there need to be the circumstances in which to help us, or perhaps to sometimes help ourselves. Just like the dear client above, sometimes the results might come in ways that help us to help ourselves make more money. Perhaps an opportunity arises to improve your career or work extra or whatever might be possible in your particular circumstances.

    So, okay, all of us are not particularly likely to find a pot o'gold on St. Paddy's Day because we did the Sobo ritual. However, I bet if you are willing to see it, you will see some kind of result from it!

    Of course, to get a result, you have to do it! LOL. Or at least let us do it for you! It's fun. It's still free (unless you want to buy the kit).

    Go visit Sobo at www.spellmaker.com/sobo.htm and send us your ritual request! If you happen to be doing great financially and don't need to have us include you in the ritual, then think about sending in a request on behalf of someone else or just everyone else in general! Hey, there's good karma in that kind of thing, ya know!

    Love, light, and peace,
    Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • Quote for today…..

    “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
        ~~~~ Dr Seuss

    No one is more You than You! Today, do something just for You!~ I swear, sometimes clients can get so caught up in their cases, and all the drama and emotion that can sometimes go along with that, that they just lose track of who they are. So, today, in honor of Dr Seuss' birthday, everyone go out and do something just for you! Remember who you are, and be your own best friend!

  • Writing your Personal Mission Statement – stick to the basics

    Hi There!
    Earlier in the year, I posted about Personal Mission Statements. Basically, this is a paragraph of about 3 to 5 sentences, that reflects your core beliefs and goals for your life. Think of your mission statement as a living, breathing entity, that will change and grow as you change and  grow nd discover new things about yourself along your life's path. This is hardly something that is written in stone, but a work in progress, just as we are works in progress 😉 Below are some general guidelines to help get you started:

    1. Focus on the positive! Write your phrases as what you want to be , not about what you don't want to be. If you find you have written something negative, rephrase it in a positive manner.
    2. Think about the qualities, actions, characteristics and habits that you have in you that you admire, or that you would like to strive towards.
    3.
    Create a mission statement that will guide you in your
    day-to-day actions and decisions. Make it a part of your
    everyday life.
    4.Think about how your mission statement effects every area of your life – relationships, career, family, financial. Your mission statement is meant to bring balance into your life, and should positively effect every area of your life.
    5. Be sure to include an emotional component! Describe positively how you want to FEEL inside about your self and your life!
    6. Start with an affirmative word like "I will…." or "I am….."
    7. Take as much time as you need. Life is not a sprint, but a marathon.  Take some time in thoughtful reflection about who you are and where you are and what your goals are.

    Here are some phrases that you could possibly use to help you get started:

    "I will  live each day with …[ fill in the blank ]… so that …[what is your goal]. I will do this by …(put specific habits or behaviors here]."

    "I am known by …[ people in your life ]… as someone who is …[fill in the blank]…;  "

    Sooooo……give it a ripple, and if you like, post your statement in the comments section of this blog, and we can all work on them together, and help each other out.

  • Voodoo Debt Eliminator!

    Since I am a former letter carrier I could not help but sharing this one.  (So that is why I have back trouble!)

  • Faith.

    In my duties as Parran of our House, I get asked a lot about the question of "faith."  How to keep the faith? What to do prove what you have faith in, etc.  I am no expert on faith, but I do know that life is pretty bleak if you have faith in nothing.  My wife, Mambo Sam, once said to me that it was really easy to have faith when things were going great, it is when things are going terrible and we need faith that we seem to have it the least. I couldn't agree with her more.  Good days bring great faith, but who needs faith on good days?  It's those bad days where we need our faith.

    Mightier writers than me have written a lot about faith and I thought I would share with you some of the quotes I have found.  I hope you enjoy them and keep them for those days when your faith is in short supply.

    Faith is like radar that sees through the fog.  ~Corrie Ten Boom, Tramp for the Lord

    Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right.  ~John Donne

    Faith is reason grown courageous.  ~Sherwood Eddy

    Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.  ~Kahlil Gibran

    Fear knocked at the door.  Faith answered.  And lo, no one was there.  ~Author Unknown

    If there was no faith there would be no living in this world.  We couldn't even eat hash with safety.  ~Josh Billings, His Complete Works, 1888

    Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.  ~E.M. Forster

    Faith is spiritualized imagination.  ~Henry Ward Beecher

    Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.  ~J.R.R. Tolkien

    Faith is courage; it is creative while despair is always destructive.  ~David S. Muzzey

    Faith is a passionate intuition.  ~William Wordsworth

    To me faith means not worrying.  ~John Dewey

    Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.  ~Ramona C. Carroll

    Every tomorrow has two handles.  We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark.  ~Rabindranath Tagore

    He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.  ~B.C. Forbes

    A faith of convenience is a hollow faith.  ~Father Mulcahy, M*A*S*H, "A Holy Mess," 1982

    Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.  ~Victor Hugo

    Faith makes things possible, not easy.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith is raising the sail of our little boat until it is caught up in the soft winds above and picks up speed, not from anything within itself, but from the vast resources of the universe around us.  ~W. Ralph Ward

    Faith… must be enforced by reason…. When faith becomes blind it dies.  ~Mahatma Gandhi

    Faith and doubt both are needed – not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.  ~Lillian Smith

    As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.  ~Emmanuel

    In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.  ~Blaise Pascal

    Faith enables persons to be persons because it lets God be God.  ~Carter Lindberg

    Weave in faith and God will find the thread.  ~Author Unknown

    A little faith will bring your soul to heaven, but a lot of faith will bring heaven to your soul.  ~Author Unknown

    Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel.  ~Author Unknown

    A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

    Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains…. But it can put mountains where there are none.  ~Friedrich Nietzche, Human, All Too Human, 1879

    Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.  ~George Seaton

    Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.  ~Martin Luther King Jr.

    Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.  ~Robert Collyer

    Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.  ~Author Unknown

    Life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live.  ~George Lancaster Spalding
