Just wanted to show you a pic of this trabajo (“job” in spanish) I’m doing as I told you before its dedicated to Ochun. I lit a yellow candle, put it on top of the jar and tied a yellow and pink ribbon around the cap of the jar then prayed to Ochun to bring my boyfriend back to me. I did it for 25 consecutive days. He did come back but we argued, fought and he left once again. Now he’s gone again and I haven’t heard from him in a few days, so now I’m doing the 4 caminos (“roads” in Spanish or more likely “crossroads”) which would be 3 more sets. This would keep him from leaving. So now I tied the ribbon on the opposite side. when I’m done with the three sets its going to look like a cross. Right now I’m on about my seventh day, now what freaked me out was that after I took an Oshun bath I started praying to her in front of the candle. The flame was extremely high then it parted into 2 seperate wicks with 2 high flames. As they were burning, the flames became so small then the main wick turned off. After the 2nd flame turned off, I turned the candle on again. Also, if you look closely at the pics, you can see specks in the mirror which is actually candle wax splattered from just seven days of burning them. Jacqueline please tell me what you think… I know it’s not good.. I feel there’s a negative force that is tearing my boyfreind and me apart. I don’t believe that Oshun is against bringing us back together. The candles I’ve been burning have been burning faster than usual and it usually leaves a wax residue. I just think that someone else might be doing something against my boyfriend and me. Tt’s really scary to actually see a flame just shut off with nothing triggering it. Do you have any specific candles for my case? Any recommendations at all? Roselyn (letter edited for grammatical errors)   * * * * * * * Thank you for all the pictures, but they neve came through! Now, here’s my thoughts. First, honey jars are not Santeria/Lukumi/Ifa religious based, so my question here is this: Why are you mixing a traditional hoodoo/conjure/rootwork spell (the honey jar) with a goddess/deity of an African religion? Secondly, what is the “4 Cuatros” (4 Corners) Spell at the crossroads? Why would someone petition Ellegua (Guardian of the Crossroads) for love? Ellegua is for making decisions that you can live with. For example, I was living in one state and hesitant about staying or moving back to my original sate I lived for many years. I did not know what to do. I did a spell at the crossroads to tell Ellegua to ‘open my paths’ and guide me to the best way and, I would accpet the decision as I relinquished all powers of discernment on this subject to him. I moved within a month. Done deal. It makes me want to jump up and down in my office when I see the Saints/Santos/Orichas (spelled correctly) petitioned without any knowledge for which is the Orichas’ jurisdiction. Unless it was explained to me wrong – and I will give this inch of doubt – unless your spiritual worker was telling you, “Hey! Let’s do a spell for Ellegua at the crossroads and let HIM decide whether you two should be together or not -AND put to boot to your jeans back pockets or his,...

Candle Spell to “Control” a Child of Ochun/Oshun/Oxum

Posted by Jacqueline on Nov 13th, 2008 in Ochun/Oshun/Oxum Candle Work, Santeria/Lucumi/Lukumi | Comments Off on Candle Spell to “Control” a Child of Ochun/Oshun/Oxum               This candle spell is from my own personal archives when I had to make a decision to buy some time in paying someone who was an initiate of the Goddess Ochun/Oshun/Oxum. I was in a job where my boss was to pay someone wages that he did not take the deductions for supposed “loans” against the earned income. the one who was to be paid wanted their wife to come pick up the money since the one who was owed the wages was out of town. My boss wanted to have some time to do calculations and so I created a candle spell for the wife, who was an initiate of the Goddess Ochun/Oshun/Oxum. Ingredients 1  7-day glass candle in yellow 1 Piece of Parchment Paper 1 legnth of black cord long enough to wrap several times around candle   I took the person’s name and wrote it on the paper. I then encircled the name on the parchment paper with a sentence regarding the time that was needed for this person to wait until the boss was ready to give her the husbands’ wages. I cleaned the candle with Florida Water, wrapped the Parchment Paper around the lower part (base) of the candle, wrapped the black cording around the paper in 5 complete rotations, then tied it off and lit the candle. During the time that this candle burned on the mantle of the bosses’ office fireplace, I would frequesntly pass by the candle, call out the person’s name inscribed on the Parchment Paper, and tell them to wait until the candle burned completely, about 7 days. When the candle wax got low, the cording would start to give off a smell and i had to keep the office window open. On the last day of the candle flames’ life, the cording had singed and burnt through from the heat of the glass, and the cording dropped off. About an hour after this happened, the wife showed up at the office, saying she had received a call from the boss to collect a check. As she was finishing her announcement to me, the boss called from his cell phone and told me to cut her a check in a certain amount – the amount that the employee was owed. She noticed the candle on the fireplace, scrutinized it for a moment, but said nothing. I didn’t acknowledge her observation. Let’s just say that she might have left with a lingering question if a candle was being burned on her. Despite having more conversations with her after this incident, she and I never approached the subject again.    ...
