    PRACTICAL COLOR MAGICK

    by Mambo Samantha Corfield 

     

    Colors have magical associations – especially in creating your own spells.  Always use a color theme that matches what you are trying to accomplish.  

    Many of these color associations are very familiar to us:  Red or pink for love, green for money, etc.

     

    Traditional Magickal Color Associations

    Red: Sexual Love, Good Health, Strength, Danger, Stamina, Charity

    Yellow: Joy, Comfort, Persuasion, Charm, Confidence

    Green: Money, Luck, Fertility, Energy

    Orange: Stimulation, Encouragement, Attraction, Kindness

    Blue: Tranquility, Devotion, Understanding, Health, Sincerity, Truth

    Indigo: Depression, Impulsiveness, Ambition, Dignity

    Violet: Tension, Power, Peity, Sentiment

    Black:  Death, Sickness, Removal of a Person, Removal of a Thought or Idea from someone.

     

    Numerology Color Associations

    1=Red

    2=Orange

    3=Yellow

    4=Green

    5=Blue

    6=Indigo

    7=Violet

    8=Rose

    9=Gold

     

    Gemstone Color Properties

    Amethyst: Bluish violet to deep purple in color. Wear for expelling poisons and toning the body.

    Bloodstone: Bright green to dark green, contains small spots of red jasper. Wear for excessive bleeding or to prevent hemorrhages.

    Chrysolite (Peridot): Usually olive green, sometimes yellow or brown. Wear to prevent fevers and also to prevent nightmares.

    Coral: Both red and white coral prevent bleeding. Wear to avert the "evil eye." Wear for scars and ulcers.

    Garnet: Deep red. Wear for the heart and as a stimulant.

    Jade: Green. Soothing, healing; wear for eye problems, kidneys, help strengthen muscles.

    Lapis Lazuli: Blue to violet-blue to greenish blue. Eye problems. A very strong stone.

    Ruby: Deep red. Wear for problems of the blood, lack of body warmth, poor circulation.

    Topaz: Brown, yellow, or pink. Wear to sooth and calm, banishing nightmares and curing insomnia.

     

    So, how do you use these things?  First of all, get creative.  Think about what you want to accomplish.  Choose your items with a theme to them.   When you are purchasing items

    for magick, try to shop only for that.  Keep your intention in mind while you are shopping for each item.   Okay.  Now you are home with all your magick stuff, right?  Let the items

    guide you as to what to do with them.   Now we realize that this all sounds somewhat simplistic.  But if you are just starting in magick – it is good to keep it simple.

  • Love Doll 411! Tips and Tricks for Love Doll Use!

    A Voodoo Love Doll is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal! Here's the 411 on the subject of love doll use (deluxe or regular – doesn't matter):

    Never, ever do your love doll when you are in any way feeling negative about your HD.

    You must be feeling positive, loving, supportive and very much in love with your HD otherwise what are you sending them?????  If you don't feel like doing a doll session, then don't.  It isn't mandatory to do them any set number of days, times, or sessions. You should always approach the love doll like you are going out on a date with your HD. 🙂  You should be happy, positive, and excited that you are going to talk with th

    Talk to your doll as if it were your HD.

    Don't always ask for something (a call, to return to you, etc.). Instead, some of the sessions simply use the doll to send your love, your support for any troubled times that s/he might be going through, the message that the door is always open, etc.).  Indeed, you can and should use your doll part of the time to ask for all that you are willing to give to be returned, but it is an extremely good tool to use simply to send warm and fuzzy feelings.

    If it seems to you that your HD is "overwhelmed" then make your love doll sessions a little more casual.  Do the ritual as instructed, however, maybe just talk about some fun times that you have had in the past or tell your HD what happened to you that day, something like that.  Remember, it is YOUR energy that is getting through to your HD – so careful what you send; if you send pain, chaos, resentment, etc., that is most likely what your HD will receive and probably return to you.

    Whether you are using a deluxe love doll or a regular love doll, you are still sending some pretty powerful information out there, so make it count and make it good.  (And really the difference in whether you use a deluxe or a regular love doll is mainly based on your HD; if they are a stubborn cuss, then deluxe in the way to go; if they are more easy going, then regular is the way to go!) Truthfully, I think that everyone who is working on love spells should use a love doll if they can.  (Financial and living concerns come first, that is why I say use if it you can.)  That doll can be your best friend, your open pipeline of communication to your HD, and a powerful tool to send and receive the right kind of messages with your HD.

    And, lastly, a little bit of common sense goes a long way:   Think about what you really and truly want your HD to be thinking of you, think of how you want things to remind him/her of you, think of how you want him/her to be picturing you and put that into your doll.

  • Ritualistic Cooking!

    Ritualistic cooking is an extremely ancient form of spell casting.  Food has been linked with love, nurturing, and caring for centuries.   Many people cook to show how much they care for their partners, families, friends, etc.   Cooking takes on a ritualistic twist when any kind of magick ritual is added to boost the spiritual energy that cooking already has!   In Reverend Samantha Corfield's cook book  Cajun Voodoo Love Cookin', her Cajun family recipes for food and  magick are shared with you.  Detailed explanations of the rituals and the recipes are outlined for you.  Here is a sample recipe from the book!

    HAPPY HOUSE OMELETTE
    by Mambo Sam

    Usage:  To smooth out problems after a fight

    Ingredients:

    1 dozen eggs

    1 dozen raw, fresh oysters, drained

    1 cup cooked crabmeat

    1/8 pound unencased hot sausage, fried and drained (reserve drippings)

    6 tablespoons cream

    1 very finely chopped onion

    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

    1/4 cup minced celery

    Tabasco® sauce

    Salt and pepper

    Butter

    Rum for flaming (optional)

    Spiritual Gifts:

    2 white tapers (candle)

    1 glass (8 oz.) of water

    1 serving of grits (or oatmeal, etc.)

    1 paper bowl

    2 small paper plates

    1 pair women’s inexpensive sunglasses

    1/2 cup of regular (plain) water

     

    Before beginning your cooking:

    1. Line up your candles one before the other (in a vertical line) anywhere in the kitchen.

    Put one candle in the rear, and the other in front of it, about 6 inches apart.

    Put the grits in the paper bowl.

    Put the grits and glass of water between the candles.

    Set the sunglasses up around the grits and water

    (The candles, sunglasses, grits and water are to remain in place overnight.)

    1. Go to any corner of the kitchen with the 1/2-cup of water.

    Sprinkle some water from your fingertips in the corner three times.

    1. Go to the candles. Stamp the floor three times. Light the rear candle and say:

    “Hey, Legba. Open the gate and let my words carry to the other side.”

    Pause a moment, then light the front candle, clap your hands three times and say:

    “Mademoiselle Florida. Florida. Florida, I am upset. You, my dear, truly the queen of luxury, may be of service to me. Listen to this. My man and I have had a fight. I want to smooth out the problems, Florida. And I want all women to have a soft life with their men. Mademoiselle, I ask this of you: Give me some of that luxury. Make my man and I relate to each other in a fashion smooth as silk, soft as satin, sweet as sugar. Do this for me, Florida, do it now.”

    1. Begin to make your omelet with your desire in mind.

    Keep that desire in mind and honor Mademoiselle Florida during the preparation.

     

    Start cooking:

    In a large, nonstick frying pan melt 3 tablespoons of butter; add in sausage drippings, onion, parsley and celery. Cook about ten minutes or until tender. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs adding in the cream, a couple of dashes of Tabasco®, salt and pepper. Beat until frothy. Fold in the crabmeat, sausage and oysters. Pour into pan with the onion mixture. Fold from one side to the other, letting uncooked egg fall to the sides, then folding in. Do not overcook.

    Slide out of pan onto warmed platter. If desired, pour a small amount of rum over the omelet and flame briefly. 

    Serves 10-12.

    Serve for Sunday or holiday brunch with hash browns, buttered grits, and hot biscuits.

    After cooking:

    1. Put out the front candle and say:

    “Thank you, Florida, for hearing my cry and making my desire come true. If it pleases you, you may now depart.”

    Pause a moment. Put the rear candle out and say:

    “Thank you, Papa Alegba. If it pleases you, you may close the gate.”

    1. Cut out 2 small pieces of omelet and put each one onto a paper plate.

    Before you eat (if not possible, then afterwards):

    1. Take the 2 paper plates with the omelet pieces outside and go to the base of a tree, telephone pole, lamppost or fence post.
    2. Stamp the ground three times with your foot. Put one plate down and say:

    “Papa Alegba, this is for you.”

    Put down the other plate and say:

    “Blessings and thanks to you, Mademoiselle Florida.”

    1. Turn your back and walk away, leaving the omelet servings there overnight.

    The next day:

    1. If the omelet is still by the tree or pole, place it on the ground and trash the plates.
    2. Take the candles, sunglasses, grits and glass of water and set them out on a street corner.

    Do not be noticed doing so. Leave quickly.

  • Lammas

    Hello there 🙂 Oh Lammas, the first harvest, how I love this time of year. When humid August clings to the air and clutches the earth in its heady embrace as if to envelop the world before letting go.

     

    Cicadas sing through the heavy stillness that is late summertime and the night sky always takes on a desaturated shade of the darkest blue. 

    Lammas is on many Pagan calenders for August 1 or 2, but it is really more of a two week process culminating in when the sun actually reaches 15 degrees Leo. (which happens to be today)

    This, of course, comes just before our next full moon which will occur on 8/11. That is alot of energy, and astrologically this is the point in the year where we can really boost our manifestation energy!

    I wish you all a very happy and health lammas and a wonderful start to the fall season. Ayibobo!

    I've just received word that Olivia Newton-John has passed away! For a girl who grew up watching Grease over and over, can sing every song from the movie by heart, and aspired ( like we all did) to be Sandy ( although in truth I'm more like Rizzo) I am just heartbroken! Olivia will always be a part of my childhood, a singer who was sweet enough for little girl to emulate, but still beautiful and talented enough to be a genuine inspiration.

     

     

    I was feeling so nostalgic, and I dove into some of Newton-John's non Grease songs that I have always loved.

     

     

    I have been struggling lately with many things. Most of all I feel like I just had another birthday and I have SO many goals I want to reach. But after some serious  relationships stuff and health issues that have prohibited me from working for awhile, I was feeling a little despondent as of late. Like HOW will I ever do the things I want to do in my life. Some days it just seems impossible that I will ever feel productive again. 

     

     

    I have written many times about signs the lwa show us, and of course about what a huge impact they have had on every area of my life. But this was a big one. And I suppose I have Olivia Newton-John (and Erzulie Freda, whom I serve) to thank for this epiphany.

     

     

    All in PINK were the lyrics to the Olivia Newton-John song "Magic", which I'll be honest, I never knew. Until today. And I knew.

    I know I'm not alone in mourning Olivia Newton-John. A generation of girls turned women were so impacted by her iconic role in Grease. My heart goes out to her loved ones, who I hope know that Olivia and her beautiful voice will never be forgotten.

     

    And for any one of you who have some spellwork out there,or any of us who consistently do services and magical work who might be feeling a little bit meh, a little bit confused, aimless-or even like giving up…these lyrics are for you:

     

    Come take my hand

    You should know me

    I've always been in your mind

    You know I will be kind

    I'll be guiding you

     

    Building your dream has to start now

    There's no other road to take

    You won't make a mistake

    I'll be guiding you

    You have to believe we are magic

     

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

     

    For you

    From where I stand, you are home free

    The planets align so rare

    There's promise in the air

    And I'm guiding you

     

    Through every turn I'll be near you

    I'll come anytime you call

    I'll catch you when you fall

    I'll be guiding you

     

    You have to believe we are magic

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    You have to believe we are magic

    Nothin' can stand in our way

    You have to believe we are magic

    Don't let your aim ever stray

    And if all your hopes survive

    Destiny will arrive

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

    I'll bring all your dreams alive

    For you

  • Jupiter retrograde: What does it mean?

    Hello there,

    I just want to touch on some astrology for any of you who are interested. In the past few years, I have noticed a huge increase in astrology by the public at large, and especially for anyone interested in magical matters.

    One thing that I have really noticed is the discussion of retrograde planets. The problematic thing about planetary retrogrades is that there can be alot of fear mongering involved, which can send people into a panic. So I am here today to tell you: STOP THE INSANITY!!! 

    Planetary retrogrades have been going on as long as the planets have been in the heavens, and awareness of  retrograde planets has always been there for students of astrology. 

    Many of us (myself included) have planets retrograde in a natal, or birth chart. Retrogrades are an  inevitable, like the sun setting, the seasons changing, and natural part of the cosmic consciousness.

    The KEY to navigating planetary retrogrades is to know what to try to avoid and what to focus more upon during the retrograde period. The same way you know that you need to wear a winter coat in cold months, or know that you need to turn your headlights on to drive your car in the dark, is the way to approach a planetary retrogrades. 

    So what do we focus on during Jupiter retrograde? Well, Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and in retrograde it can constrict areas concerned with the 9th house, such as travel, moving abroad, higher education, such as enrolling in college or seeking funds for education. And just as the heirophant in tarot can signify a teacher in the literal sense, he can also rule teachings of an esoteric nature. So subjects of religion and spirituality can be affected by a Jupiter retrograde. 

    Does this mean NOT to follow a spiritual path during the retrograde? Absolutely not. But taking time to really do some soul searching about your beliefs or practices, or actually doing a deep dive into spiritual subjects you want to learn about so you can expand on it eventually, that is right up Jupiter retrograde's cosmic alley!

    As with any retrograde, going inward is always a good idea. But does this mean you should just NOT enroll in that college course you have had your eye on? Of course not- it is just that during retrogrades allowing extra time and understanding margins for error or delay is always the wisest course of action. 

    You can always look into your personal natal chart also to investigate if a planet's retrograde is making aspects to any of your personal planets. (Your sun or moon sign, or your Mercury Mars or Venus placements, respectively.)

    So, that is just my 2 cents on the upcoming Jupiter retrograde, which will occur July 28th in ♈  Aries during the Leo new moon,, and move into Pisces in late October until stationing direct on November 24th.

    This retrograde advises us to be wise and listen to our inner teacher as we progress through it.

  • Happy Moon Day 2022

    Happy Moon Day to one and all 🙂

    Today is the anniversary of mankind's first moon landing. In 1969, millions watched Neil Armstrong take those first steps and a new era was born. 

    I love that there is a day to celebrate the moon because honestly, nothing (except maybe HALLOWEEN) makes me feel more magical than that mystical luminary in the night!

    I have always been fascinated with the moon's pull over the tides and over the human psyche. I love her in all of her phases, and I love observing what occursas she travels the heavens through the astrological signs.

    The moon has been my constant companion in life. There is a comforting familiarity about the moon as she changes every night, and with every season of the year.

    No matter where I have been in the world, the moon was always there,  pulling the tides and lighting up the sky.

    And I wish all of you a beautiful relationship with the moon, just as I have been lucky enough to have. 

    "The moon, like a flower in heaven’s high bower, With silent delight sits and smiles on the night." – William Blake

     

  • Scrappy flags and life lessons

    Hey all

    So this summer,my inner crafty person has started to emerge. One of the things I have started creating are scrappy flags. Maybe you have seen them on Etsy or on a neighbor's door. Basically they are scraps if material fastened to a rod or pole in the red white and blue colors of the American flag. 

    I think one of the reasons I like scrappy flags so much is because I love things that utilize stuff we already have lying around!

    These peculiar little craft projects remind me that you can always make something nifty out of what you have-your looks, your dinner, your home decor-even your life. It's the same principle of "bloom where you are planted." 

    I'm not sure if this makes any sense to anyone out there but I feel like someone needed that message!
