  • Awakening Your Intentions: Setting Powerful Goals for Spring!

    Screenshot_9-2-2025_12448_chatgpt.com

    Spring is a time of renewal, growth, and transformation. As the earth wakes from its winter slumber, so too can our spirits. This season of rebirth offers a powerful opportunity to set intentions, plant the seeds of change, and align ourselves with the natural cycles of renewal. Whether you are focusing on personal growth, spiritual deepening, or manifesting new opportunities, spring is the perfect time to breathe fresh energy into your goals.

    Why Set Intentions in Spring?

    Spring carries the energy of awakening. The days grow longer, the air feels lighter, and everything around us begins to bloom. Just as farmers plant their crops in the spring to harvest later in the year, we, too, can plant the seeds of our desires, nurturing them until they blossom into reality.

    Unlike resolutions, which can feel rigid and sometimes punishing, intentions are fluid, heart-centered, and empowering. They focus on growth rather than restriction, making them a natural fit for the season of expansion.

    Setting intentions in the spring allows you to:

    Align with nature’s energy – Just as the earth renews, so can you.
    Embrace fresh starts – Shake off the heaviness of winter and move forward with clarity.
    Manifest abundance – What you plant now (energetically and physically) will grow throughout the year.
    Step into personal power – Spring’s energy supports taking action on long-held dreams.

    Preparing for Spring Intention Setting

    Before diving into setting intentions, take some time to clear space—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

    Cleanse Your Space – Open your windows, burn some incense or herbs, and clear out clutter. A fresh environment creates fresh energy.

    Release the Old – Write down anything that feels stagnant or no longer serves you. Then, safely burn or bury the paper as a symbolic release.

    Get Grounded – Spend time in nature, walk barefoot on the earth, or meditate outdoors to align yourself with spring’s rhythm.

    With a clear space and an open heart, you’re ready to plant your intentions!

    How to Set Spring Intentions

    1. Reflect on What You Want to Grow

    Think about what areas of your life you want to nourish and expand. Ask yourself:

    • What do I want to bring into my life this season?
    • How do I want to feel as spring unfolds?
    • What steps can I take to support my growth?

    Be as specific as possible. Instead of “I want to be happier,” try “I intend to create daily moments of joy by practicing gratitude and laughter.”

    2. Write Your Intentions Down

    Putting your intentions on paper brings them into reality. Write them in the present tense, as if they are already unfolding:

    “I am stepping into my power and speaking my truth with confidence.”
    “I am attracting new opportunities that align with my highest good.”
    “I am prioritizing my well-being and making choices that nourish me.”

    You can place your list on your altar, in a journal, or somewhere visible to keep your focus aligned.

    3. Create a Spring Intention Ritual

    Rituals amplify intention-setting energy. Here’s a simple spring ritual you can do:

    Find a quiet space outdoors or near a window with natural light.
    Light a green or yellow candle (green for growth, yellow for clarity).Hold a small plant, seed, or a bowl of water in your hands.
    Speak your intentions aloud, letting your words carry power.
    If using a seed, plant it in soil; if using water, pour it over the earth as a blessing.

    This act symbolizes your intention taking root in the physical world.

    4. Take Inspired Action

    Intentions are powerful, but they also require action. Think of them as seeds—you must water and care for them. Identify small, actionable steps to support your goals. If your intention is to bring more peace into your life, you might:

    ✅ Set boundaries around your time.
    ✅ Start a morning meditation practice.
    ✅ Declutter your home to create a calm space.

    Taking even one small step brings momentum and invites the universe to support you.

    Enhancing Intentions with Spring Magick

    Spring is rich with magickal energy, making it the perfect time to incorporate spiritual tools into your practice:

    Candle Magick – Light a candle in a color that corresponds with your intention (green for prosperity, pink for love, blue for peace). Let it burn while focusing on your goal.

    Crystals – Work with stones like aventurine (growth), citrine (abundance), or rose quartz (self-love). Hold them while meditating on your intention.

    Herbal Support – Drink teas or use herbs like lavender (calm), mint (fresh energy), or basil (manifestation) in spellwork.

    Elemental Connection – Invoke the elements to support your work:

    • Earth:Plant seeds or work with soil to ground your goals.
    • Air:Speak your intentions into the wind, letting them be carried forward.
    • Fire:Write intentions and pass them over a candle’s flame.
    • Water:Charge a bowl of water with your intention and pour it over the earth.

    Trust the Process & Watch Your Intentions Bloom

    One of the most important aspects of intention setting is trusting that what you desire is already in motion. Spring teaches us patience—seeds take time to grow, and so do our dreams.

    Be gentle with yourself. Growth isn’t instant, and setbacks are part of the process.
    Celebrate small wins. Every step forward, no matter how small, is movement in the right direction.
    Keep your energy aligned. Regularly revisit your intentions and adjust them as needed.

    As you move through this season, remember that you are part of nature’s cycle—just as flowers bloom in their own time, so will you. Plant your intentions with care, tend to them with love, and trust that the universe is conspiring to help you grow.

    Love,

  • Imbolc!

    Imbolc

    As the days gradually lengthen and the first hints of spring whisper through the cold air, we arrive at Imbolc, the sacred midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Celebrated on February 1st or 2nd, Imbolc marks the turning of the wheel from the stillness of winter toward the renewal of life. It is a time of awakening, purification, inspiration, and preparation—both in the natural world and within our own spirits.

    Deeply rooted in Celtic and pagan traditions, Imbolc is associated with Brigid, the beloved goddess (and later saint) of poetry, healing, fertility, and the sacred flame. It is a festival of hope and rebirth, a time to clear away stagnation and prepare for the growth and new beginnings that spring will bring.

    The Light Returns: Imbolc as a Festival of Fire

    One of the most significant spiritual aspects of Imbolc is its connection to light and fire. It is a celebration of the returning sun, a beacon of warmth and promise after the long, dark nights of winter. Many traditions involve candle lighting, hearth fires, and flame rituals, all honoring the growing power of the sun and the inner fire within us.

    Spiritually, fire represents illumination, inspiration, and transformation. Imbolc is the perfect time to light a candle with intention, focusing on the changes you wish to manifest. The flickering flame serves as a reminder that even in the darkest times, hope and warmth will return.

    Ways to work with fire during Imbolc:

    • Light candles throughout your home or on your altar, especially white, red, or yellow ones to symbolize purity, passion, and the returning sun.
    • Keep your hearth warm, if you have one, or symbolically tend a flame (even a small tealight) to honor the hearth fire of Brigid.
    • Write your intentions for the coming season and safely burn them as an offering to Brigid, asking for her blessings.

    Brigid: The Goddess of Imbolc and Keeper of the Flame

    At the heart of Imbolc is Brigid, a powerful goddess who embodies healing, creativity, fertility, and protection. She is the keeper of sacred wells and holy flames, a patroness of poets, midwives, and smiths. Many who celebrate Imbolc honor Brigid by invoking her blessings, crafting offerings, and performing rituals in her name.

    Brigid’s energy during this time is nurturing yet strong, encouraging us to shake off the stillness of winter and step into our power. She is a bridge between the old and the new, guiding us from dormancy into action.

    Ways to connect with Brigid during Imbolc:

    • Create an altar for her, incorporating candles, flowers, milk, honey, and symbols of fire and water.
    • Recite poetry or write your own, as Brigid is a goddess of inspiration and the spoken word.
    • Bless your home with a simple ritual using fire and water (candles and a small bowl of spring water) to invite her protection and renewal.

    Purification and Cleansing: Preparing for New Growth

    Imbolc is also a time of purification, a chance to clear away the stagnant energy of winter and make room for new beginnings. Traditionally, this was done through ritual baths, house blessings, and decluttering—both physically and spiritually.

    Spiritually, purification allows us to shed old patterns, negative energy, and emotional weight, so we can move forward with clarity and purpose. Think of this time as a deep energetic cleansing, much like the first warm rains washing away the ice of winter.

    Ways to cleanse and purify during Imbolc:

    • Take a ritual bath with herbs like rosemary, lavender, or chamomile to cleanse your energy and invite renewal.
    • Sweep your home with intention, removing dust and negativity while welcoming fresh, vibrant energy.
    • Burn incense or herbs like sage, frankincense, or cedar to purify your space and prepare for new blessings.

    Planting the Seeds of New Intentions

    With the earth beginning to stir beneath the frost, Imbolc is an ideal time to plant the seeds of your intentions—literally and figuratively. It is a time to dream, plan, and prepare for growth, much like a farmer preparing the land before planting.

    Spiritually, Imbolc asks us to reflect on our desires, set goals, and take the first small steps toward change. What do you wish to cultivate in the coming months? What ideas or projects are ready to take root? Now is the time to nurture them.

    Ways to work with intention-setting during Imbolc:

    • Write down your goals for the next season, focusing on areas of growth, creativity, and renewal.
    • Create a vision board to visually represent what you wish to manifest in your life.
    • Perform a simple candle ritual, setting an intention and focusing on it as the candle burns.

    Honoring the Land and the Cycle of Nature

    Imbolc is a sacred reminder that nature moves in cycles, and so do we. The land, though still cold, is waking up, and soon new life will emerge. Spiritually, this is a time to attune ourselves to the rhythms of nature, recognizing that growth takes time and that we, too, are emerging from our own winter slumber.

    Ways to honor nature during Imbolc:

    • Go for a mindful walk, noticing signs of early spring, like buds on trees or the first stirring of animals.
    • Leave an offering to the earth, such as milk, honey, or bread, as a way of giving thanks and showing respect.
    • Start indoor planting, symbolizing the new beginnings you are nurturing within yourself.

    Embracing the Spiritual Lessons of Imbolc

    At its core, Imbolc is a festival of hope, renewal, and quiet transformation. It reminds us that even in the coldest, darkest times, change is coming. It invites us to release what no longer serves us, nurture our inner fire, and step forward into the light.

    As you celebrate Imbolc, take time to honor the goddess Brigid, cleanse your space, set intentions, and embrace the promise of new beginnings. The seeds you plant now—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—will blossom in the months ahead.

    May the warmth of the returning sun, the inspiration of Brigid, and the cleansing energy of Imbolc guide you toward a season of growth, creativity, and renewal.

  • Missing somone?

    Dreamstime_s_91953355
    Missing Someone?
    by Mambo Samantha Corfield

    Hi, everyone! So what about, "I miss you!" I was looking over some correspondence from an old friend and throughout it, she kept saying, "I miss you!" It made me think, does anyone ever say that when they are petitioning in a love spell for someone to return to them? Just plain old, "I miss you."

    When I was re-reading some of these old letters, I realized that I really got a little pang in my heart as my friend repeated that she missed me. I missed her, too. Even though I already realized it, her verbalization of it made me realize it even more.

    I certainly believe that if you are using something such as a love doll, which makes for a direct link to the person you are working on, telling them that you miss them, you miss their touch, you miss the times when you_______________(whatever you want to say), has the potential for having a great impact on them!

    Everyone wants to feel as if they are missed when they are away. Even if you have no contact with your love (or maybe especially if you have no contact with your love), reminding them through your love spell work, that you MISS them, you miss your time together, you miss his/her voice, etc., just has to have positive effect on them. Second, I think this is something we might often forget to say. We get so wrapped up in doing love spell work and sending and receiving love energy, that something as simple as, "I miss you" might elude us. 😉

    So try it! For those of you whom I haven't seen in awhile – I miss you! Never forget that! I really, truly do. I wish we were together more often. 🙂

    Love, light, and peace,
    Mambo Samantha Corfield

  • Why Use a Love Spell?

    Dreamstime_m_20840838
    Why Use a Love Spell?

    by Mambo Samantha Corfield

    So many people have asked me over the last 25 years, why even use a voodoo love spell (or any love spell for that matter)? To me, it is a matter of practicality! Why not use something that can be helpful spiritually, physically, and mentally? If you are using a well-crafted love spell, took your time to learn what is ethical and what is not, and are approaching this project with a good and honest heart, then love spells are perfect for you!

    So how do you tell if the love spells you are going to do are the right thing? Here is a list of things that make certain love spells, when done correctly, completely ethical and reasonable to use:

    • Always make sure you are approaching your love spell with an honest heart. You want this person to love you, of course. But you must also, most importantly, be offering your complete love in return. You must never approach your love spell from a point of ego, trying to just get what you want. You have to keep the love in love spell!
    • Your love spell must be cast with the other person's best interest at heart, not just yours. It can't be all about you and what you want. Is being with you better for the person than not being with you? If you truly believe that it is, you are in the right frame of mind for love spell casting.
    • You understand that you might not get what you are asking for. This is probably the most difficult thing to accept when casting a love spell: Sometimes it just doesn't work in the way you hope it will. There are lots of reasons for this that are outlined on our Frequently Asked Questions page, but sometimes the reason is just that it wasn't right for you (or them). And many times, the spells work in a completely unexpected but amazingly wonderful ways! Truth is, it doesn't hurt to try and they certainly won't work if you don't do them.
    • If you aren't casting your own spells, make sure you feel comfortable with the person who is casting for you. They should have complete information clearly stated and a clear and accessible point of contact. If your gut tells you the person isn't right for you, don't use them. Listen to your own intuition!
    • The same goes for love spell products – make sure you are getting products that are carefully crafted by the persons selling them (avoid cheap rip off stuff that is not made by your practitioners or under their supervision).

    If you believe in the power of prayer, meditation, positive thinking, affirmations, etc., then spell work is definitely for you! Spell casting is a faith-based endeavor. There is everything to gain by trying an esoteric approach to your life and really nothing to lose. (If you believe things you see in movies and on TV about spells being "bad" – then you probably shouldn't cast them or have them cast for you. Those things are never true, but if you have in your head that they are, then love spell casting should not be in your life!)

    I hope this helps you in your choice of whether or not to use love spells. I have more written about my love spell philosophy written here if you want to read more! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate you!

  • Embracing the Summer Solstice: A Celebration of Light and Witchcraft

    Dreamstime_s_132915388

    Embracing the Summer Solstice: A Celebration of Light and Witchcraft

    The Summer Solstice, known as Litha in many Pagan traditions, marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. This astronomical event, occurring between June 20 and June 22 in the Northern Hemisphere, holds profound significance in the world of witchcraft and Paganism. The term “solstice” is derived from the Latin words “sol” (sun) and “sistere” (to stand still), symbolizing the sun at its zenith. This moment, when the sun appears to stand still, offers a powerful opportunity for magic, celebration, and deep connection with the Earth.

    Historical and Cultural Significance

    Historically, the Summer Solstice has been revered by various cultures around the world. Ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Mayans, and Druids, built monuments aligned with the sun’s path, demonstrating their reverence for this day. Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramids of Giza are prime examples of how ancient peoples honored the Solstice. These structures served not only as calendars but also as places for ritualistic celebrations, emphasizing the importance of the sun and its life-giving energy.

    In many cultures, the Solstice is associated with themes of fertility, renewal, and abundance. For instance, in Scandinavia, Midsummer festivals involve dancing around maypoles, singing traditional songs, and feasting. These activities symbolize the peak of summer’s vitality and the beginning of the harvest season. Similarly, Indigenous peoples of North America honor the Solstice with ceremonies that include dancing, drumming, and storytelling, paying homage to the Earth and the sun’s nourishing power.

    The Spiritual and Magical Connection

    For witches and Pagans, the Summer Solstice is a time to celebrate the power of the sun and the abundance of nature. Litha, as it is often called, is a Sabbat—a festival within the Wheel of the Year—that marks a high point in the solar cycle. This day is imbued with potent energy, making it ideal for various magical workings and rituals.

    1. Honoring the Sun

    The sun, at its zenith, is a symbol of strength, vitality, and life. Many Solstice rituals focus on honoring this celestial body. One popular tradition is to greet the dawn with sun salutations or meditations, absorbing the sun’s energy and allowing it to invigorate your spirit. Some practitioners also create sun wheels or mandalas, using flowers, herbs, and other natural materials to represent the sun’s power and beauty.

    2. Fire Magic

    Fire, representing the sun’s warmth and light, is a central element in many Litha celebrations. Bonfires are a traditional way to celebrate the Solstice, with participants dancing, singing, and jumping over the flames to purify and bless themselves. This act is believed to bring good fortune and drive away negative energies. Fire magic can also be incorporated into spellwork, using candles, herbs, and incense to harness the sun’s energy for protection, healing, and manifestation.

    3. Connecting with Nature

    Litha is a time to immerse oneself in nature, appreciating the Earth’s abundance and beauty. Many witches take this opportunity to perform rituals outdoors, in forests, gardens, or by bodies of water. Gathering herbs, flowers, and other natural materials for spellwork and rituals is a common practice. Popular herbs for the Solstice include St. John’s Wort, lavender, and chamomile, which are believed to carry the sun’s energy and enhance magical workings.

    Magical Practices and Rituals

    The heightened energy of the Summer Solstice makes it an ideal time for various magical practices and rituals. Here are some ways to celebrate Litha and harness its power:

    1. Creating an Altar

    Set up an altar dedicated to the Summer Solstice, adorned with symbols of the season. Include sunflowers, candles, crystals like citrine and sunstone, and representations of solar deities. Use this space for meditation, prayer, or spellwork, allowing the altar to serve as a focal point for your magical intentions.

    2. Performing Solstice Spells

    The Solstice’s vibrant energy is perfect for spells related to growth, abundance, and transformation. Consider performing spells to manifest your desires, enhance your personal power, or attract prosperity. Use herbs, candles, and crystals associated with the sun to amplify your intentions.

    3. Ritual Bathing

    A ritual bath can cleanse and rejuvenate your body and spirit. Prepare a bath with sun-charged water, adding herbs and essential oils like rosemary, lavender, and chamomile. As you soak, visualize the sun’s energy infusing you with strength and vitality, washing away any negativity.

    4. Divination and Reflection

    The Solstice is a powerful time for divination and self-reflection. Use tarot cards, runes, or scrying to gain insight into your life and future. Reflect on your personal growth over the past year and set intentions for the months ahead. The sun’s clarity can illuminate your path and guide you toward your goals.

    Community and Celebration

    The Summer Solstice is also a time for communal celebration. Many Pagans and witches gather for group rituals, festivals, and feasts. Sharing food, music, and dance with like-minded individuals can enhance the sense of connection and amplify the magical energy of the day. Whether through large public gatherings or intimate circles, celebrating with others can create a powerful and memorable Solstice experience.

    1. Group Rituals

    Group rituals are a wonderful way to celebrate the Solstice with a community. These rituals can include circle casting, invocations of the sun and Earth, and shared spellwork. Group energy can be incredibly potent, and working together can deepen the connections among participants. Consider organizing or attending a local Solstice gathering to experience the magic of community.

    2. Feasting and Sharing Food

    Feasting is a central part of many Solstice celebrations. Sharing a meal with others is a way to honor the Earth’s abundance and foster a sense of community. Prepare a feast using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, and share the food with friends and family. As you eat, take time to express gratitude for the Earth’s gifts and the company of those around you.

    3. Music and Dance

    Music and dance are powerful ways to celebrate the Solstice. Create or join a drum circle, dance around a bonfire, or simply play music that uplifts your spirit. Movement and rhythm can help you connect with the Earth’s energy and the joy of the season. Allow yourself to be free and expressive, embracing the vitality and warmth of the Solstice.

    Honoring the Earth through Sustainable Practices

    Another way to honor the Summer Solstice is by adopting sustainable practices that support the health of the planet. This can include reducing your use of single-use plastics, conserving water, supporting local and organic farming, and reducing your carbon footprint. By making conscious choices that benefit the Earth, you can contribute to the wellbeing of the planet and honor the interconnectedness of all life.

    1. Supporting Local Agriculture

    Supporting local agriculture by buying from farmers’ markets or participating in community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs is a great way to honor the Earth. Local produce is often fresher and more environmentally friendly, as it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Plus, it supports local farmers and strengthens your connection to the land.

    2. Reducing Waste

    Reducing waste is an important aspect of sustainable living. During your Solstice celebrations, aim to minimize waste by using reusable plates, cups, and utensils. Compost food scraps and recycle whenever possible. By being mindful of your consumption, you can lessen your environmental impact and show respect for the Earth.

    3. Conserving Water

    Water conservation is another crucial element of sustainability. Be conscious of your water use, especially during outdoor activities and rituals. Collect rainwater for your garden, fix leaks, and use water-saving techniques in your home. By valuing and conserving water, you honor this vital resource and the Earth’s ecosystems.

    Conclusion

    The Summer Solstice, or Litha, is a time of immense power and beauty. For witches and Pagans, it offers a unique opportunity to honor the sun, connect with nature, and perform potent magic. By celebrating this sacred day, we can align ourselves with the rhythms of the Earth, harness the sun’s energy, and embrace the abundance of life.

    As we mark the longest day of the year, let us remember the interconnectedness of all things and the cycles that sustain us. The Summer Solstice is not just an astronomical event but a reminder of the magic and wonder that exists in the world. Whether through solitary rituals or communal celebrations, embracing the Solstice allows us to deepen our connection with the Earth and our own spiritual journey.

    In a world that often feels disconnected from nature, the Summer Solstice serves as a reminder of our profound connection to the Earth. By taking time to celebrate and honor this day, we can rekindle our relationship with the natural world and find inspiration in its beauty and resilience. Whether through simple rituals or grand celebrations, the Solstice invites us to pause, reflect, and celebrate the gift of life.

  • Aloe Vera, Witches!

    Aloe

    The Enchanting Tale of Aloe Vera: A Witch's Green Ally

    Once upon a time, in lands stretching from the sun-kissed sands of Egypt to the far reaches of the Roman Empire, there grew a plant known for its miraculous healing powers – Aloe Vera. This 'plant of immortality', as the ancient Egyptians reverently called it, was not just a healer of bodies but a protector of spirits and a ward against the unseen.

    The story of Aloe Vera winds through history like its own sprawling roots. Celebrated herbalists like Dioscorides, in the heart of the Roman era, praised its virtues. It soothed the aching heads of medieval nuns like Hildegard von Bingen and found its way onto the adventurous ships of Christopher Columbus, spreading its magic across new worlds. Its fame knew no bounds – from the noble Japanese Samurai using its juice for healing to its vital role in Chinese medicine, Aloe Vera was a plant of legends.

    In our modern world, the Aloe Vera plant continues to be a symbol of healing and protection. Its succulent leaves, filled with soothing gel, are a common sight in homes and gardens, silently standing guard against harm. But what truly makes Aloe Vera a witch's best friend are its hidden, mystical properties.

    As you enter the realm of witchcraft, Aloe Vera reveals its deeper secrets. This plant, ruled by the Moon and associated with the water element, holds feminine energy. It is sacred to Venus and Aphrodite, deities of love and beauty. Under the astrological signs of Cancer, Libra, and Pisces, it embodies protection, love, luck, and healing.

    Imagine a witch's garden where Aloe Vera plants are carefully tended. Their plump leaves are not just for show – they are powerful amulets. Hung over doorways or tied with red ribbons, they attract prosperity and ward off misfortune. In the soft moonlight, these plants are not merely plants; they are guardians of the home, absorbing negativity and radiating a protective aura.

    In rituals, the Aloe Vera shows its versatility. Its gel, reminiscent of sacred waters, is perfect for anointing ritual tools, charging amulets, and even embarking on bittering spells to halt gossip or bring harmony. The plant's bitterness, an echo of its protective nature, can be harnessed to create pockets of intentions – a traditional practice in some Hispanic witchcraft traditions.

    And yet, Aloe Vera is not just about protection. It's a symbol of healing and rejuvenation. Whether applied to the skin or added to a ritual bath, its soothing properties transcend the physical, touching the emotional and spiritual realms.

    The tale of Aloe Vera in witchcraft is a reminder of the harmony between nature and magic. This plant, which has journeyed through centuries, cultures, and traditions, continues to be a steadfast ally in the witch's arsenal. It teaches us that sometimes, the most powerful magic lies in the simplest of things – a leaf, a gel, a plant growing quietly in the corner of a room or garden.

    So, dear reader, if you ever come across an Aloe Vera plant, remember its story – a saga of healing, protection, and magic that has been whispered through the ages. Embrace it, for in its leaves lies a world of ancient wisdom and enchanting possibilities.

    Love,

    A good way to consecrate the oil for all beliefs is to cup the bottled mixture in both hands,  raise it towards the sky and repeat, "With respect to the powers of nature and the elements,  I consecrate this oil with the power of goodness."

    Simple, but effective.

    *Attraction Oil: Equal parts of Rose oil, Lavender oil, Vanilla oil, and Sandalwood oil.  Touch to pulse points when in the presence of the one you want to attract.

    *Lucky Oil: 1/2 of the oil should be pure Olive oil, 1/4 part Myrrh oil, 1/4 part Jasmine oil. Anoint feet before putting on shoes you will wear in a situation where you want to feel lucky.

    *Power Oil: Equal parts of Patchouli oil, Cinnamon oil, and Vanilla oil.

    Touch to pulse points (especially at wrists and temples) prior to going into a situation you  need to have power over.

    *Protection Oil: Equal parts of Hyacinth oil, Jasmine oil, Orange oil, Musk oil, and Anise oil.  Touch the oil around the area that needs protection (such as your home) or on yourself.  (It is said that touching this oil to the bottom of your feet allows you to run away from evil.)
