  • 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.

  • Readings during castings.

    Hey there!

    Below are some very wise words from our dear, dear late Sister Candelaria. This is a topic we see come up from time to time, and every once in a while, I think it bears repeating.  This is not directed at any one in particular (as Sister says below).  But it is important information everyone should know 🙂

    ***Begin post****

    The reason why we ask you not to have readings while you are casting,

    is quite simple. When you are actually casting a spell on someone or

    having one cast for you, the energy surrounding that person and the

    entire situation is all stirred up. Any time you read the energy

    around spellwork, during the casting process, you will get a turmoil

    of emotion. Spellwork stirs the pot, so to speak, and shakes things

    up. That's what it's crafted to do! Because of this, any time you

    get a reading during spellwork the reading will not be accurate.

    It's just a simple fact. I have had some people tell me recently

    (I'm not pointing fingers, I've heard this more than once.) that they

    got a reading during spellwork and it was accurate because they were

    told what they expected to hear, such as "your HD is blocking"

    or "your HD has no emotion toward you." Even though you were willing

    to take that as an accurate answer, I'm here to tell you that it was

    NOT AN ACCURATE ANSWER, because that person was in the midst of

    receiving your spellwork, thus their emotions were all twisted and

    turned around!! Now, those are pretty mild for a reading during

    spellwork. Other examples of readings during spellwork are "your HD

    doesn't like you," or "your HD wants you to just go away and leave

    him alone,"or even "I don't think you and your HD will be together."

    THOSE ARE NOT ACCURATE READINGS EITHER, yet if someone tells you that

    about your HD, you are going to believe it!! So you would take that

    information, thinking it was correct, and you would process it over

    and over again in your heart and in your mind and you would start to

    have negative (hurt) feelings about your HD and it would basically

    break your heart. This in turn will cause real damage to your case,

    simply because you are putting negative energy toward it. But here's

    the kicker…THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT TRUE, YET YOU TOOK IT TO HEART,

    AND YOUR SPELLWORK IS NOT EVEN FINISHED YET!!! You've taken a step

    toward destroying something that you have not even completed yet.

    That's not constructive, my friends! In fact, that's destructive and

    I have seen it hurt cases that could have had a swift and successful

    end.

     

    So basically what I'm saying is, that even though it sounds like a

    good idea, GETTING A PSYCHIC READING DURING SPELLWORK IS NEVER AN

    OPTION. It's not fair to you, it's not fair to your HD, and it's not

    fair to your case. It's destructive, and it really can do serious

    damage to your case. Mambo has set down these rules to help you. I

    know it's hard, but I can tell you that if you play by the rules

    Mambo has set forth, you have much greater chance of getting your

    Heart's Desire, and isn't that why you are here in the first place.:-)

     

    So, as far as getting psychic readings during spellwork…Please

    DON'T DO IT!! We want you all to get your HD! Help us, help you.

  • Happy Summer Solstice 2014!

    Hey all!

    Wishing each of you a very happy Summer Solstice today! It is the longest day of the year (and the shortest night!)  I hope each of you get to enjoy it in your own, unique way. There are many different things you can do to honor the day. If you do not have alot of time today, your celebration does not have to be elaborate. Or you can work it in to your already busy schedule! You can sit in the grass and meditate for a few minutes, or read a book in the sun, or have a cook out, go for a swim, water your plants, wash your car. You get the idea!  Get outside and feel the warmth of the sun on your face and breathe in the fresh air! Whether it is for a few moments or a few hours, enjoy the warmth and energy of this special day!

    I will be posting some pictures of the Spellmaker Solstice fun later on! Stay tuned!

    Love

  • Rutt Rowe and other things….

    Hello!

    For a while now, I have been following Mike Rowe on Facebook.  You may remember Mike from the TV show Dirty Jobs, or recognise his voice from the Deadliest Catch.  Mike is a smart guy, and has alot of interesting things to say.  He is not political. He is not irrational. He is well read, realistic and very well spoken.  He has a foundation in which he is working hard to create well trained workers to fill the many open job opportunities here in America. His posts can be very entertaining (see the ones about the contest to name his new puppy – Fred won, but I was so rooting for Rutt!). Today, tho, I read some words from Mike that fully stopped me in my tracks…..

    "What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you."

    Seems simple at first glance, right? Obvious, even. Then sit with it a while and see what questions come up for you.  Do you begin to notice some icky little demons pop out of the closet in your mind? Boundary issues?  Empowerment struggles? Self doubt? I know I did!

    It is worth a little time to sit with these words and examine what in you is holding you back from being happy. Happy in your relationships, Happy in your job, Happy in your head – The choice is ours. It always  has been.

    Love,

    Sister Bridget

    PS Thanks, Mike. And if you ever do decide to run for President, you have my vote!

  • Freya, a May Queen.

     

    “With a crown of the lilies of light —

    For a maiden they crowned her in May,
     For the Queen of the Daughters of Day
     That are flowers of the forest of Night.”

    ~~~May Queen by Aleister Crowley

     

    Freya, a May Queen.

    Yesterday, during our Family Beltaine/ May Day activities, I played the role of the May Queen.  Mambo Sam spoke about the holiday and its significance, and how it is celebrated in many cultures across the world. Today, I was doing some reading about the May Queen and how she is represented in other places and times. I found myself drawn to some information about Freya, an important Germanic Goddess.  Her main festival is May Day.  Walpurgisnacht ‘Walpurga’s Night,’ when the festival actually begins, is April 30, the evening before May Day is named for Freya.  This time of year coincides loosely with the first dew fall, that is the time of year when frost no longer forms at night, but rather the temperature remains above freezing at least for some of the nights. This change in the weather allows the growth of green things and the blooming of all the flowers. This in turn allows for the cattle to be turned out of their winter quarters and released to  graze on the new grass which increases the amount and quality of milk available to humans.

    Walpurgisnacht is not named after St. Walburga, as is commonly said. However, the saint’s name became attached to the festival as a way of “explaining” the meaning of the name of the holiday. St. Walburga’s feast day is set to May 1st because that was already the name of a major festival of Freya. The pretense that the festival of Walpurgisnacht is named for St. Walburga provides a convenient way of obscuring the festival’s older Pagan origin.

    Freya’s domain is the garden, especially a walled garden with fruit trees, properly an orchard with a spring or well. She is responsible for making the flowers bloom and she is always associated with flowers especially flowering trees. As a Goddess of spring time, she is especially associated with romantic love among human beings. Songs of love are well-pleasing to her; it is good to call on her for furtherance in love.

    An important event in the changing of the seasons was the moving of livestock from their winter pastures to summer pastures, and vice versa.  In some areas of Europe, as the weather permitted, cattle were moved to summer pastures during the May Day/ Walpurgis/ Spring  time festivities and Freya was invoked for their protection and fertility.

    The following Middle High German charm is to protect cows when they are turned out into the forest, as they were in spring in northern Europe. The exact date would depend on the climate and when the grass was sufficient to support the cattle, though some traditions closely associate this prayer with May Day and associated festivities. “Lady” may refer to the Goddess Freya, the Virgin Mary, or to any unspecified but highly respected woman. The ambiguity may be intentional, and possibly life-saving, since people could ask for assistance from the Goddess while pretending to refer to one of the Christian deities.

    Herdsman’s Charm to Protect Cows

    Today my herd I drove into our Lady’s grove,
    Into Abraham’s garden; Be, good St. Martin,
    this day my pledge and warden,
    and good St. Wolfgang, good St. Peter,
    (whose key can heaven unlock),
    throat of wolf and vixen block,
    against blood shedding, and bone shredding.
    Help me, holy one, who ill hath never done,
    and [by] his five holy wounds;
    keep my herd from all wood-hounds!
    [Say] 5 Pater Nosters (Our Fathers) and 5 Hail Marys

  • 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

  • Gris Gris Bag Tips!

    Hello!!

    Dusting off another older post by dear, sweet, Orleanna 🙂 This one is about different ways for using those all important gris gris bags after your castings are completed!

    Love

    Sister Bridget

    IMG_0337

     

    Q:  What are some ways I can use my gris-gris bag?
     
    A:  **When using a gris-gris bag, say the appropriate
    chant for that bag aloud and then in your mind, focus
    on what you want as it pertains to that spell. Here's
    an example for someone who'd cast three spells and
    wanted to know about using the gris-gris bags. Note:
    Not all of the things I wrote as far as what to focus
    on might pertain to your case - you'd focus on what's
    applicable for your particular situation:
     
    1. The gris-gris bag from the #5 Leave My Man Alone
    Spell(tm). That spell was to banish any intruders and
    also work on negative influences. So, when you chant
    with the gris-gris bag, you can focus on his not
    dating others and that his fears of marriage, fear of
    commitment, fear of financial problems, etc., will be
    soothed and he'll stop being so AFRAID to commit to
    you.
     
    2. The gris-gris bag from the #3 Love Me Again
    Spell(tm). That spell was to rekindle his love for
    you. When chanting with that gris-gris bag, focus on
    his loving you deeply and realizing how much he does
    love you.
     
    3. The gris-gris bag from the #9 No One But Me
    Spell(tm). That spell included for his making a
    commitment to you and to make you the top priority in
    his life. When chanting with that gris-gris bag, focus
    that he'll commit in a relationship to you and make
    you the top priority in his life.
     
    Certainly, you can add other appropriate things to
    focus on with each gris-gris bag - I was giving you
    examples and the above examples were for a particular
    situation but it gives you an idea.
     
    As to me, I first cast those three love spells six
    years ago. Those spells were how I first came to know
    Rev. Kaye - they were the first magick I'd ever done.
     
    Q:   If Papa Alegba is the keeper of the gate, do you need to ask 
    hime to open the gate each time?
     
    A:  ** No, you don't need to ask Alegba to open the gates when you use the gris-gris bags. 
    (If you did, that would be included with the instructions about how to use the gris-gris bag.)
     
     
    Q:  When I petition with my gris gris bag, I ask for the Lois to help 
    me. I am not specific with which Lois I need. Is that ok? Do I have 
    to petition for a specific one to help me? 
     
    A:  ** There's usually a preface with the incantation, like "Ogoun Badagris T'maidez" which 
    asks for Ogoun Badagris to help you. (In fact, when six years ago when I first started with 
    the love spells, the incantation didn't have a preface. The gris-gris bag is the connection.)
     
    If you forget the preface, it's not the end of the world  Each gris-gris bag is particular to 
    the Loi who helped you with that spell.
     
     
    Q:  Do our reflections have any power outside of spellwork, ie: 
    with the gris gris?
     
    A:  **Yes. Reflections with your gris-gris bag have power. 
     
     
    Q:  Is there is a way to use the
    gris-gris bags without having to do the chants out loud? 
     
    A:  **The chants should be said aloud. Having said
    that, that doesn't mean you have to talk in a loud
    voice!
     
    Try keeping your mouth almost closed (similar to a
    ventriloquist) and whispering very softly! With
    practice, you'll find you can do this without anybody
    else around you really even realizing you're saying
    anything! Also, remember that you're on a bus - most
    people don't really pay close attention.
     
    I've said chants (in the manner I described above) in
    hospital rooms with 8 people around a bedside - and
    nobody knew I was doing it.
     
    Try practicing keeping your mouth almost closed - just
    opening it a very small amount, enough to enunciate
    with very softly whispering. Your lips really don't
    move that much at all then and keep the whisper level
    so low that anyone next to you can't really hear you.
    And if anybody looks slightly askance at you, well,
    it's a bus anyway - commuters get bored and I'm sure a
    lot of people "talk to themselves" in some way!
     
     
    Q:  What's the best place to store the various gris-gris bags I have
     from my spellwork? Currently I am storing them all in the same box
    as my deluxe doll, except where specified per the spell
     instructions.
     
    A:  **That is not a problem. You can keep all your Vodou stuff together
    except those things that are specifically instructed not to do so.
     
     
    Q:  Since the doll is versatile and can be used interactively with 
    the gris-gris bags, can I also use the white male
     candle during my session with the doll?
     
    A:  **Generally speaking, I tell people to allow 45 minutes between the
    usage of products. However, the reason I tell them this is because
    sometimes people want to mix up intentions and do it all in one
    session, so it is easier to just make the 45 minute rule. However,
    if the purpose is the same, and you feel okay about it - you can use
    certain products together. The white candle with the doll is not a
    problem.

    a spell kit, please ask techsupport@spellmaker.com

  • Love doll advice!

    Morning!

    I came across this post early  this morning in one of my files. It is by my dearly departed friend and mentor Orleanna, the original Spellmaker Caseworker and first ever Khouzhan of our House of the Nine Mysteries. The post talks about a method Orleanna developed to use her Voodoo Love Doll (www.spellmaker.com/doll.htm)  while communicating with her fella via AIM or some form of online messenger. After rereading the post, I can see how this method can also be used while texting! I hope some of you find the information helpful! If you have any questions about using it, or anything else for that matter, please feel free to email me at bridget@spellmaker.com

    Have a wondeful day!

    Love

    ************************************************************************

    Begin Post:

    Now, here's another little trick I liked to use when I'd use our
    #VDK1 Voodoo Love Doll(tm).
     
    Most of us have computers - that's how you're reading this forum,
    that's how you write email, etc.
     
    Most of you also use some type of instant message service like
    AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM).
     
    My love would usually be on online around 10:00 p.m. and we'd
    always (and still do) chat via AIM then if he wasn't with me that
    night.
     
    I'd set up the doll in front of my computer. I'd place the doll in front
    of the monitor, a candle to each side of the monitor and then the
    incense to the very left of the left side candle.
     
    I also made up a "buddy" to represent the intruder as well as all
    other lovers - something like "Her&AllOthersButMe"
     
    Take some of the leftover banishing oil from the #5 Leave My
    Man Alone Spell(tm) and make a cross over the buddy's name to
    represent the intruder and all others. Then take any leftover love
    oil and make a cross over your lover's buddy name. Later, wipe
    your monitor clean with glass cleaner like Windex.
     
    Now, per the instructions with the doll kit, light the candles and
    incense, sprinkle the herbs over the doll (I kept it in a shoe box
    for that) and say the chant that comes with the doll kit. I'd do that
    just before 10:00 p.m. and then I'd log on when I knew he'd be
    online.
     
    Voila, I'm now actively working magick on him WHILE in contact
    with him but he has no idea!
     
    Note: The instructions talk about 13 minutes but you can have a
    longer session with a doll - the 13 minutes are more of a
    suggested guideline.
     
    So, after I'd get the doll all set up and done the opening ritual,
    then I'd log on and while typing to him via AIM, I'd also say aloud,
    "While we type, the doll work is affecting you right now. You're
    thinking of the last time we were together and you want me even
    more. Your desire for (intruder) is totally leaving and if she's
    online now, I'm banishing her from you - anything she types,
    you'll hardly pay attention. Your attention is focused on me, solely
    on me. You find your thoughts of love for me are getting stronger
    and stronger right now as we type."
     
    Then, I'd go into whatever detail for anything specific on my mind
    aloud with the doll. For example, suppose I wanted to see him
    on a Wednesday night, I'd say aloud with the doll set-up and
    candles still burning, "You'll find a way to see me Wednesday.
    You'll WANT to see me Wednesday. You miss me and can
    hardly wait to see me - you'll find yourself making plans to get in
    your car and come over on Wednesday evening." Then I'd type
    an IM to him, something like "I look forward to seeing you next
    time." And you'd be surprised how often I'd get an IM reply like
    "Wednesday night looks good." (Or whatever night I'd have
    petitioned for with the doll while I was online then.)
     
    The whole time, he and I are exchanging IM's - and I'm actively
    using magick on him WHILE in contact with him - but he has no
    idea!
     
    That's a great way to use a doll, folks :) I know most of my clients
    use some type of online messenger service to chat via typing
    with the person they love - try setting up the doll for when you do
    that!
     
    I also found beeswax candles to last a long time. I bought red
    beeswax candles and used them for my "AIM-doll sessions."
    (You can use either purple or red candles with the doll.)
     
    Light and love,
     
    Orleanna

  • You Were Made For This!

    Hello!

    Having gone through a great many changes in my life the past two years, there were many times I have read and reread this article below. The images of ships upon the water spoke deeply to me, and reminded me frequently to seek guidance from Capitaine Agwe. Master of the Sea, he is one to go to for guidance, setting a course through the stormy seas of life. Our own Brother Menfo now offers readings and rituals to his guardian lwa, Capitaine Agwe and his wife, LaSirene. You can view his offerings at www.spellmaker.com/menfo.htm  I hope you find some jewels in this article to help you through any stormy patches you may find yourself in.

    You Were Made For This

    By Clarissa Pinkola Estes

    My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard  from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world  now. Ours is a time of almost  daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.
          You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask  you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been      learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
          I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.

    Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That  long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.
          In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind  without raising the sails.

    We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to  submit to the voice greater?
    Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any  small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to  us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.

    What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of  acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or  hundredth gale.
          One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a      stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy    toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.

    Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing  to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.
          There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

    The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no  despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent  you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.
