  • Communication and Papa Alegba.

    Happy Sunday, everyone!


    Of course as most of you know, it has been a little while now since we introduced the Papa Alegba Ritual and Service Pack. Some of you had already weighed in with your comments about your experiences and usages of the pack. (And we would love to hear from more of you – just click the “comments” link below this post!)


    I wanted to share a more specific experience that a client told me about. It reminded me so much about the importance of communication, both in the physical world and in the spiritual world.


    The client in question, we will call her Clementine, had a most fascinating story to tell, so I will just let her tell it in her own words:


    “Dear Mambo,

    I am writing to tell you about my experience with the Papa Alegba kit. I received it about two weeks ago and the first thing I noticed after opening it was the wonderful smell of it. It is always so much fun and so exciting to get a new package from you guys at Spellmaker! Just getting my packages from you always makes me happy.


    On this day in particular I really needed to get my package. I had a huge row with my HD and was feeling like I had blown everythingl. 🙁 The worst part of the whole fight was that we were fighting over something that didn’t really need to be fought over because it was a complete misunderstanding. So I opened everything up and started looking at all the parts of the kit and Papa’s bath because I had gotten that too.


    When I started going through everything a real calm came over me. I took out one of the incenses and started burning it while I was looking over the instructions and figuring out when I was going to the ritual and all of that. As I was sitting there it dawned on me that I felt like my HD has never seemed to get me or understand me. We are loving but there is just this feeling that we speak two different languages sometimes.


    I knew with complete certainty that Papa was helping me already. He was helping me to understand that sometimes there are times when my HD literally misunderstands my words. Then I started to wonder if this could be true with my spell work words. Was my HD understanding me? If there were times when he would get angry with me and I didn’t think it was warranted because I didn’t think I did or said anything wrong did that mean the same thing could happen with my spell work?


    I got so anxious and nervous to know the answer that I started setting up the ritual even though I didn’t have everything that I wanted for offerings and all of that. I kind of threw everything together, gave Papa what I had on hand and just started the ritual up.


    Papa started giving me signs and helping me with amazing insight and understanding of how I had been miscommunicating with my HD, that I needed to try to word things in ways that I knew he would understand. My petitions have always been on my level, using my words, using my concepts and sending that to my HD. I believe Papa was telling me to use MY HD’S WORDS TO TALK TO HIM. Right there in the ritual I took my love doll out and started talking to it using some terms and slangs that my HD uses. I felt like I had been given the key to the universe right there!! I don’t know how to explain it completely, it sounds so weird but I started talking just like my HD to the love doll.


    Two days later my HD called me and started saying the stuff I said to the love doll. It was truly incredible. I feel like our communication problems are going to be completely mended and believe me I will be using this ritual to Papa Alegba a lot. I don’t know that any of this even made sense to you but I just wanted to say thank you for the kit and thank you for listening.”


    Love,

    Clementine


    So wow, right?? 😉 Remember how we have talked about Papa Alegba speaks all languages, is the great communicator and translator? I thought it was so interesting how in this circumstance it wasn’t that the spellcaster was translated through to the HD, it was that the spellcaster translated her own words into words that her HD could understand! We very often ask Papa to translate our words into those that the HD can understand. I thought this was a very unique perspective.


    If you have Papa Alegba stories to share (with or without the usage of the ritual kit), please share them with us!!


    Love,

  • Is Depression Ruining Your Case?

    Greetings everyone!  I wanted to talk to you all just a moment about depression.  For many of you who are either doing our love spells or are in the waiting period after having done love spells, depression can often set in.  Sometimes you might be depressed because you have even had to do love spells in the first place!  Sometimes you might be depressed because now that you have done them you aren’t sure when or even IF they will work for you.  Sometimes you might be depressed because the person you have been working your magick on isn’t responding just yet. 

    No matter what the reason, though, for sure depression can have a detrimental effect on your love spells!  Now I know for sure that we are all going to be sad sometimes, especially when we are not with the one person we want to be with.  However, too much of that sadness really sends out a negative energy.  I have people writing and telling me that they are "crying day and night" because they are not with the person they have done the love spells on.  While I do feel great compassion for this, I also know that crying day and night is in no way helping to bring the person closer to you. In fact, it may be doing quite the opposite.

    I would like to encourage each and every one of you to please try to do something to uplift your spirits.  And, yes, I know it isn’t easy.  I am not trying to sound cavalier or like everyone should have a Pollyanna mood.  However, I want you to get what you want from your love spell casting!  So I tell you this for your own good:  Too much crying and depression is not good for your case!  I know I have talked about it before, but I think it bears repeating.  If you feel depressed and sad over your case, try to compartmentalize those feelings. Promise yourself an hour a day to be sad, depressed, and even crying if you need to.  Then promise yourself that will be it for that day – you will always have that hour tomorrow to do it all over again.  Once that hour of sadness and crying has gone by, you must promise yourself that you will then do something productive and positive even if it is take a bath and fix your hair a different way!

    Obviously this isn’t always going to work.  Each of us has days that we just can’t seem to shake the blues away from.  But I do urge you to try and see how much better you start to feel after a few days. 

    Love to you all!  Mambo Sam

  • Are You in Love and Angry?

    Greetings everyone!  As you all know, of course, working with clients who are doing our love spells gives me a great opportunity to be privileged enough to see the inner workings of many, many relationships. One thing that I see a LOT of are people who are actually very angry with the person upon whom they are doing love spell work!!  🙂

    Now believe me I am not saying that their anger is unwarranted!  Quite often they have been dumped in a very unceremonious way, getting hurt, remaining hurt, feeling no resolution for their hurt.  Of course they are angry!  Many times they are in contact with this person and still get hurt by them and thus the anger grows.  But here they are trying to do love spell work which by its very nature requires that you approach it from a standpoint of unconditional and pure love!   How on earth does one resolve that?

    Many people have chosen to do white candle magick kits and the Milk of Damballah(tm) white bath to help them release and remove the anger so that they may continue on with their love spell work feeling cleansed of that anger.  But what about that underlying, I-have-tried-and-I-just-can’t-get-rid-of-this anger? You probably know and feel deep down inside that the anger your are feeling towards the person you are doing love spell work on is somehow degrading that very work!  In fact, sometimes it gets so bad in people that they get on an endless cycle of being angry with their HD (Heart’s Desire) and then being angry with themselves for being angry with their HD and then being angry that they are angry! 

    Sometimes this can just go on and on especially if they are in contact with the HD who continues to needle them with either a new relationship, or continued criticism, or other negative behaviors.  Just because you love them doesn’t mean you are not affected by their negative behaviors!  Your resentment of these behaviors can have a definite negative effect on your love spell work!

    If you feel you are in this situation then I do encourage you to acknowledge what is happening and then take as many measures as necessary to help alleviate as much of the anger as you can.  Look, we are human, and most of us are not Mother Teresa, so you can only do the best you can!  The abovementioned white candle magick and Milk of Damballah white bath are definitely the standard tools for removing negativity and certainly do work for quite a number of people.  The Pink Bubble Meditation is helpful to use to release that anger and send it away from you!

    Another choice is doing the Baron’s Purple Bath. One of the many uses of the Baron’s Purple Bath is to take negative things away and bury them!  Along with that, you can ask that your own love for this person be resurrected to its full feeling once that anger is taken and buried away. In this way, you will again have the FULL POWER of your love to put into your spell work.  Remember, the great and powerful Baron Samedi is not just the lwa of death, but of life – burying and resurrecting are his forte’.  Asking him to bury your anger, hurt, and resentment and replace them with fresh and invigorated love, forgiveness, and positivity is sure to not only make you feel better, but to strengthen the power of your love spell work!

    Love, Mambo Sam
