Thank goodness Khouzhan Lucy's post reminded me of The Chinese Harvest Moon Festival! This fun festival is easily celebrated by a party of one (or more) and ties right in with love spell work!
It gives you all the history of the festival, how it relates to finding the love of your life (or petitioning if you have someone in mind!), and just the general beauty and tradition of this day.
I think it is a great celebration whether you are involved in a love case or not! We all need more love in this life, this world! So petitioning for love and good wishes for yourself and others is a great thing.
I would love to see any pictures you take, especially if you incorporate any love spell work with it!
I wanted to let you all know about a little product tip I have recently discovered. I was doing some work with the Baron and Maman Brigitte over the winter. It was cold out, and dark all the time, and I was really having trouble focusing on some projects I was working on. I felt stuck, blah, Shortly after completing my service, I happened to pick up a vial of Spellmaker's Voodoo Sexual Essence Oil and dabbed a little on my wrists. First, let me just say that the scent is AMAZING! Then, something else happened – the work which was feeling blah before was going better – I felt more creative and motivated than I had is quite some time. Then it hit me – who else would be at the center of creating new and exciting things ? The Baron and Brigitte, of course! They are all about creation! Now, when I set out for work in the morning, or I feel stuck on an idea or way of thinking that needs an "outside of the box" approach I dab on a bit of this oil, and let the new, super creative ideas start rolling :-) This oil would be great for artists, writers, etc, who are looking for some creative inspiration. But you do not need to be an artist to benefit from the creative boost this oil provides!
With all of the Spellmaker Family Papa Legba Festivities going on this month, I have been looking for some new and different Coconut items that Papa might enjoy. On my last trip out, I came across these three.
Trader Joe's Toasted Coconut Cookie Thins — these cookies smell divine! They look incredibly scruptious!
Coconut Water with Pulp — I found this at the local health food store for less than $1! It has real pieces of coconut in the bottle. I always seem a bit clumsy when I try and cut open a fresh coconut myself, so I think this is a neater option for me 🙂
Voorman's Coconut Cookies — found these at the dollar store! It is a rather large bag, and these cookies are chock full of coconut and also smell heavenly.
These are just some examples of new coconut items I thought Papa might like. He also like Mounds bars, rum, coffee, all of the usual suspects! We have a bit more information about Papa here, in our Information Board. Remember, anything offered with a grateful heart is fanstastic 🙂
Happy Spring! Spring to me always means projects at home, and planning for summer vacation 🙂 Maybe your tax refund was less than you expected, or your had some unexpected car repairs, or maybe you are tired of waiting to take that dream vacation…whatever your reason, Spellmaker.com has a large selection of products to assist you with Money, Luck, and Career issues. Right now, our Big Money Spell kit and casting services are on sale! Take a look today!
May 24th at 9pm EST — it will be a very powerful time!

Sleeping In The Forest
~~~~~by Mary Oliver
I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms breathing around me, the insects, and the birds who do their work in the darkness. All night I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling with a luminous doom. By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times into something better.
Greetings everyone! I thought it might be fun to do a little project over the next several days to look at some popular music where lyrics refer to magick, witchcraft, etc., in some way.
Obviously, there are a lot of songs that refer to magickal happenings in different ways. However, I would like for us to discuss how we feel the songs that I will post here over the next couple of weeks, remind us of certain lwa (our voodoo spirits). Tell us what lwa the song reminds you of and why! It is okay if the song reminds you of more than one lwa, or even about a particular spell kit or product that you have used! Let's hear it what it is/was! 🙂
I am excited to see what you all think!
We will start with an old favorite: Heart's ever classic "Magic Man"
Here are the lyrics:
Cold late night so long ago When I was not so strong you know A pretty man came to me Never seen eyes so blue I could not run away It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream It seemed like he knew me He looked right through me "Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "You don't have to love me yet Let's get high awhile But try to understand Try to understand Try try try to understand I'm a magic man."
Winter nights we sang in tune Played inside the months of moon Never think of never Let this spell last forever Summer over passed to fall Tried to realized it all Mama says she's a worried Growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone "Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!" "But try to understand, try to understand Try try try to understand He's a magic man, mama He's a magic man"
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child! But try to understand, try to understand I'm a magic man!"
So what lwa came to mind for you? Or was it more than one lwa? 😉
Select your candle, and let Mambo and Parran know your goal! These services are offered only at the Mind, Body, Spirit level which is a very thorough and powerful approach! So, if you have been thinking about doing some candle work to help along your situation, but have not been able to find the time or the privacy to do such, your prayers have been answered. If you have been wondering how candle work might be able to assist in your life, please do write to your caseworker and ask 🙂
Love,
Sister Bridget
(this photo is of some candle work I was doing for myself. Once Mambo and Parran have completed your work, they will send you a picture of YOUR own candles burning during the service)
Today, October 4th, is a day across the world where people take their pets to be blessed.
For single householders, a pet can be a true companion. Many people arrive home from work to find a furry friend overjoyed at their return. Many a senior has a lap filled with a purring fellow creature.
The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. Eye-to-eye, a man and his dog, or a woman and her cat, are two creatures of love.
October 4th is the anniverary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. And on this day, he is remembered by many members of his order by accepting animals into their church to be blessed.
If you cant find a place in your neighborhood, you can use one of these prayers below to bless your pet yourself 😉 Dont forget, Mambo Sam has blessed her own holy water that you can use with your pet blessing, or also some Samantha's Spiritual Annointing oil would be good as well.
Also, please feel free to send in a prayer request for your pet to my personal prayer list for pets. Email your request to prayforpets@spellmaker.com
Love,
Sister Bridget
Here are some prayers for all animals:
Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. On the fifth and sixth days of creation, you called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all animals his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this animal. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.
For a sick animal:
Heavenly Father, you created all things for your glory and made us stewards of this creature. If it is your will, restore it to health and strength. Blessed are you, Lord God, and holy is your name for ever and ever. Amen.
