  • Ancestor Candle Making!

    Hello dear readers!

    As most of you probably already know, we have begun making ancestor candles and offering them in our Etsy shop!  Parran Matt is hand making these candles and we are consecrating them in the names you provide for ancestor service. Each and every candle is handmade, hand poured, specifically for the person who orders it.   Even though we always think of the ancestors at this time of year, we certainly will be offering this candle year round, as anytime is a good time to work with and honor your ancestors.  

    The making of these candles has been such a fulfilling experience!  We ask each person to send in names of their ancestors when they order the candle.  Then using an "ashes to ashes" type of mindset, we burn those names and offer up a prayer of honor to your ancestors.

    After the ashes are burned and the proper prayers have been said, the ashes are then added to the candle wax of your candle.

    Your candle is then poured into the skull mold and allowed to cool and then get ready for shipping to you along with incense, a little bottle of Fet Ghede potion, and instructions on how to use your candle for ancestor service.

    If you don't know WHY you are serving your ancestors, let me just say that you must thank them for life itself… without them, there is NO YOU!  If you are going through tough times, feel lost, have problems you cannot find the solution to,  call upon your ancestors.  If you are doing well, prospering, and living a happy life, then thank your ancestors!  

    Ancestor service is certainly not unique to the Vodou life; many, many cultures and religions offer honor and service to their ancestors.  All Souls' Day, Dia de los Muertos, and many other celebrations all offer honor to our ancestors. However, as Vodouisants, we believe that not just one day is for ancestor service, but rather we always want to keep our ancestors in mind.  Our hierarchy is:  God, ancestors, the lwa.   So your ancestors are considered even more important than the lwa themselves; if you call upon the lwa, you should also be honoring your ancestors! 🙂

    Your ancestors know you; they can protect you, guide you, and walk with you.  All you need to do is call on them and offer them the respect that they so richly deserve. This particular candle is one way to do just that! 

    If you need it by Fet Ghede (November 2, 2014), then please order by 10/24/2014.  However, the candle can be used anytime!

  • Stubborn Intruder? Read This!

    Hello!

    Recently, I have had a few clients write me about an intruder who just was being stubborn about going away. Things get close…OH SO CLOSE! … but then, nope, they do not go. As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I remembered these special candle magick instructions I received from Mambo Sam several years back. So, I would like to share them with you here. These instructions are great for those stubborn intruders, but also if your HD has one of those BFFs who just keeps running you down, saying negative things to your HD about you, or maybe is jealous and interfering in some way. Those of you who are unfortunate enough to have exeperienced this know what I mean!

    What you need: 1 brown image candle magick kit to represent your HD. 1 brown image candle magick kit to represent the person who is interfering. 1 Famous Black Mummy Candle kit. A fire proof surface.

    What to do:

    Stubborntowards

    The Black Mummy is going to be in the middle of the two different brown candles, one that you use to represent your HD, one that you use to represent the intruder. Have the two candles face each other.The candles should be prepped as per the instructions that came with the candles (I just pulled some candles off the stock room shelf to take this picture – prep yours as you would normally)

    Get the two brown candles going with their ritual (again see Candle Magick Kit instructions that came with candles), your petition is that there is fighting, distaste, discord, repugnance, whatever you would like to happen between these two people. Then get your Black Mummy candle going (again, as per the specific instructions for that candle!) 

    Now, turn the brown candles so that they are facing AWAY from each other. Do your Black Mummy petitions that they will turn away from each other now and forever never to look back! 

    Stobbornaway

    Let the candles burn for however long you would like to do the session (9 – 33 minutes). IMPORTANT –  at NO TIME do you mention yourself or put yourself into the petiton in any way – no “leave Susie and come to me, Judy” – just “leave Susie”  or "turn away from so and so" or whatever your petition is. Petition for HD to come to you in some other work. This work is simply to drive apart someone interfering with you  and your HD.  Also, at NO TIME are you angry or upset with your HD! You are simply using this candle to get him/her away from this intruder.

    Hope you find this helpful! Any questions, just ask!!!

    Love
