Hey Gang!
Well, Happy Winter, Happy Solstice! Finally, the days begin to become longer again! Do any of you have any special traditions for this day? If you do, I would love to hear about them, Please post a comment below, and we can get a little conversation going about this special time of the year! I personally go out and collect all my bird feeders, wash them out, clean them up, repair if needed, and fill them up right full with fresh, wonderful seeds. I also get my suet feeder out, and fill that as well. If I need to, I run down to the hardware store and get enough bird seed and suet to last me a while. Gotta take care of those little birdies!
I found this poem about Solstice that I wanted to share with you all π

Winter Wishes
by Ray Cruz
Let the first snow of winter
Cleanse the wounds in your heart
From conflicts and hardships of the year.
Let the heavenly showers
Clear the air and freshen your view
Of the world around you.
Let the brisk sounds and scenes
Of the holiday season
Pace the rhythm of your step.
Let your soul be uplifted
With the sparkle of children
Enjoying the surprises of winterβs antics.
Let your heart be filled
With the peace of an infant's succor
From her mother's breast.
Let peace in your heart
Free you from doubts and fears
And spread your warm feelings to those near to you.
Let peace in your heart
Open the door to love
And reveal the true delights of the human experience.
Let there be peace on earth,
The purest peace of innocence,
And let it be born in your heart.

Happy Saturday!
So, after doing the usual mundane stuff this morning, I decided to refresh a couple of my altar spaces. Both Agwe and Gran Bwa have kinda been asking for "more space" in odd ways, so today was the day I decided to make that happen. I have posted 2 new picures in my photo album. Go take a peek!
Also, just 2 days remaining for the tarot reading special! Most of next week is booked up, but there are a few slots open for next weekend, just before the big Sobo Prosperity and Security Ritual. Dont forget to send in your email with your petition for this free ritual for all by Mambo Sam's New Orleans Voodoo Family!

Hey There!
This weekend I recieved quite a few requests for readings about Money and Abundance and to get guidance before the big SOBO ritual on December 9th. So, in the Sobo spirit, I am going to offer a 45 minute chat room reading for the price of a 30 minute reading. Simply order a 30 minute reading in the CHAT room, and I will schedule it for 45 minutes. I want to put them on sale to make them more affordable to those that are seeking guidance on what to ask of Sobo and what areas to do your ritual work on. I really like the chat room readings because I can send you a transcript of what was discussed, and you have that later on to refer to if you need it.
Those of you who already ordered a chat room reading for this week will automatically be upgraded to a 45 minute reading.
Any questions at all , please email me at bridget@spellmaker.com
Light, Love and Abundance for all!
Sister Bridget
The very first step to participation in this ritual is to email your letter of request regarding your finances or the finance of another. Obviously we cannot guarantee anyone results, but there is a great amount of power when we do these group rituals! You can email your ritual request to sobomylwa@spellmaker.com. This will automatically include you in our ritual! More information about the ritual will be posted in a few days at the page above, plea se check back for the full ritual.
We have also put together a nice ritual kit that can be used in conjunction with the ritual we will be doing. You do NOT need it to participate in or be included in the ritual. However, if you can participate in using this kit, it will definitely help strengthen your petition. We kept the price low at $25.00 so that you will also benefit from our current free shipping offer; so $25.00 is the full price including shipping (in the USA only).
Even if you cannot participate in the ritual on December 9, you can still be included in the ritual by sending us an email as above and do this kit at any time before or after December 9! But again, you do not need to purchase anything to be included in the ritual. This kit is simply for those who can and want to purchase it to strengthen their ritual.

Sobo Wealth and Security Ritual Kit
To purchase this kit, just go to the Spellmaker.com money page at www.spellmaker.com/money.htm – it is at the bottom of the page!
Greetings everyone! It is no secret that these are trying financial times! To that end, we have recently reduced the price of many of our luck and money magick products to try to help ease some of the crunch that so many of us are feeling.
Also, there is a rather humble but delicious New Orleans stew that can be prepared ritualistically to hopefully bring financial help into one's home.
1 quart boiling water
1 cup beef stew meat
4 cups cut up cabbage
1 large white onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, washed and torn into small pieces
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dark red wine
1 green candle*
3 shiny pennies*
*Before beginning your cooking, set up a green candle in the kitchen and surround it with 3 shiny pennies. Light the candle and say, "Hey, Legba, open the gate, let my words carry to the other side. Thank you." Pause a moment. Then say, "Capitaine Agouer (pronounced "ah-ghwAY"), I humbly ask that you help me in providing for my family, myself, and others that may be in need." Then begin your food preparation with your petition in mind. Keep your petition in mind and honor Capitain Agouer during the preparation of the food.
Add all ingredients except the meat, cabbage, spinach, and raisins to the pot of boiling water and reduce to a simmer. Add in the meat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook for 40 minutes at a low simmer. Turn off flame and add 1/2 cup red wine to pot and stir. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve with black eyed peas to insure prosperity.
BEFORE YOU EAT: Before you eat the stew, take 1/2 cup out and put it in a pretty paper cup or bowl. Place it in front of the burning candle as an offering to Capitaine Agouer. After the meal, take the food offering and the three pennies outside and leave it under a tree. Stamp the ground three times with your foot and say, "Blessings and thanks to you Capitaine Agouer."
Happy cooking and blessings to all of those in need of help.
Love, Mambo Sam
Hello everyone! The Convention was truly a great event! It was really great to see some familiar faces and just as great to meet with the new ones.
The weekend was filled with fun and learning. Saturday nights Fet Ghede celebration went so very well with everyone sharing a meal together and then participating in all the activities of the night. Fet Ghede is the time that we honor our ancestors as well as celebrate the Vodou New Year. Everyone was given the opportunity to throw the traumas and negativities of the old year into the fire for a fresh new start!
Additionally, we fed our ancestors at a beautiful ancestor altar, lit candles for them, and then made ouanga bottles to use throughout the year to connect with our beloved ancestors. We wrote them notes that went into a special vessel and also wrote their names on candles that are actually still being burned here in the office. It was extremely powerful to connect with everyone's family is this beautiful way.
Each person who attended the convention met with me for a one-on-one consultation and brief ritual to help them attain their goals. It is a very special time when I get to spend this private time with each client.
I am still in the category of "tired but happy" and already miss everyone who was here and can't wait for next year! I will share much more with you all soon. Here is a picture of our wonderful ancestor altar that we built. (Everyone was invited to have a picture of their ancestors on the altar.)
Love, Mambo Sam
Happy Fall, Everyone! Hope you all get to go out and enjoy the autumn sun and the falling leaves and cider and candy apples and pumpkin picking and all that great stuff that goes along with time of the year π
