Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 21st, 2010 in Readers Questions, Vinegar Jar Spells | Comments Off on Readers Questions | Commentary on Eben’s Vinegar Jar Spell
Jacqueline, I was wondering if perhaps Eben changed the vinegar to the Four Thieves Vinegar, and adds along with the chili (I’ve made a blend of habanero, chili piquin in my magic bullet) and added some poppy seed (for confusion and to drive away enemies) and some black peppercorns, black mustard seed, some black salt and some urine…if this may give him a boost. Although Mary Laveau had a simple recipe of placing the name of who you want to leave on a paper and put it in a jar and cover with the FTV and throw it in moving water picturing them “moving” away. Not sure, just a suggestion? I do have background knowledge that Eben is a practitioner or certain magical practices that use many herbs that you describe, but there are some things to consider: Eben’s ‘recipe’ may have varied a little from your suggestions, but doesn’t make it ‘bad’ or anything like that. One thing Eben WAS doing was giving it a ‘time factor’; he was trying to use it successfully while the ‘other person’ was away for three months. One thing that practitioners have to remember is that ultimately, all decisions are finalized with the “Just Judge” – the Higher Power in every religious belief system that administers Justice – whether you want to call that power God, Krishna, Buddha, etc. – it is ultimately ‘out of your hands’ in a sense. Your petition may be HEARD, but was not acted on because of circumstances that you may not be aware of. Now, again, your mixture may be more potent as well. I tell people, magic is sometimes like a chocolate cake; maybe your Granny used mayonnaise and my mom used leftover coffee, but the core ingredients – flour, sugar, cocoa and eggs – are the same. We just have to “tweak” (my word) the spell a bit to get it to work right. I hope that Eben is reading and will comment on our readers entry. It’s a good one. Thank you for your input and suggestion!

Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 8th, 2010 in Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Question | Substituting High John for Revenge Oil in a Spell
Can I use high john the conquer oil in a revenge spell if I dont have the correct oil? (Edited by Owner) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to change out or substitute one oil for another in a candle spell, you need a source of reference for the magickal properties of each oil’s herbs and essences. I am using the Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic – A Materia Magica of African-American Conjure by cat yronwode. (If you would like to purchase this book, please go to my site at www.lucky13clover.com and order by clicking the “Misc. Supplies” page button) The John the Conqueror Root (also known as “John the Conker”) is a heady, musky, earthy root that reminds you of mossy forests and tobacco. This root, used for external uses only and never is to be ingested, is considered THE root for men to carry for strength and virility. It is considered the root to use for drawing money to you, to enhance sexual power over women and also to bring luck for gamblers. I have heard that some women use it for dominance in the workforce or home, whoen decisiions have to be made and she does not want to be viewed as some ‘premenstral b**ch’. I have also heard that some women who want to be the ‘male’ partner in a same-sex relationship might want to use this for this power. I would not use High John the Conqueror Oil to substitute in a Revenge Candle Spell. However, you may make up a small batch of Revenge Oil in a pinch by using a good Extra Virgin Olive Oil and adding these items: Red Pepper, Black Peppercorns, Sulphur (break it off from a matchstick), Needles, Dead Spiders, Dead Flies, Graveyard...
Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 2nd, 2010 in Moon Phases and Candle Spells, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Questions | What is Waning and Waxing with the Moon?
Hi Jacqueline You have an awesome site! I couldn’t undrestand the waxing, winding, new moon ect…..When is the best day or what situation should be the moon for good luck? Thanks, Ralph ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Ralph, The time from the New Moon (meaning when the sky is dark until there is a full circle in the sky) is auspicious, or very lucky for bringing in good things – like money, lovers, jobs, business, etc. The Moon is considered to be “waxing” at this time. This is a two week period for you to burn candles to bring in anything positive that you need. The two week period from the first night of the Full Moon (full circle Moon until completely dark in the sky) is considered a time that the Moon is “waning”. This is the Moon time to work “banishing”, “reversible”, or “revenge” – type of work. You are working with the dark aspects of the Moon. This is for getting rid of bad girlfriends, gossipy co-workers, nosy neighbors – anyone who vexes you and just causes drama that you don’t need. You can also use this time for habits like smoking, biting your nails, etc. To find out where and when each Moon is going to occur, continue to read the Free Candle Spells site or invest in a subscription to one of the Horoscope magazines or seek an ephemeris on the Internet. Thanks for the good question!...
Posted by Jacqueline on Dec 12th, 2009 in Love Candle Spells, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Questions | Can Candles Bring you a Lover?
Jacqueline, First let me say that I have read many of your spells and after doing so research, I consider them some of the most authentic and true spells I have ever seen – and that’s coming from Memphis! I am ready for a relationship and I have been burning the St. Jude candles for love in my candle spells as you have instructed but to no avail. I meet someone and it looks good for a few weeks, then – poof- he’s gone. Some take the time to tell me they want to go back to their ex, but some just don’t call back. I think I am following the instructions right, so what can I be doing wrong? Tamika * * * * * * * Thank you for your compliments regarding the spells. I truly ‘test drive’ them, either with clients or on my family and myself, because I do not want to just give you a ‘pat answer’ to a candle spell problem. Lets go over a few things that I got an inkling on what might be the problem. 1. Are you truly ready for a relationship? – Your life may be too busy to support a relationship. If you find yourself having to ‘juggle’ a spur-of-the-moment date invitation, or you have to reschedule a dinner out, this might be a ‘red flag’ to a fella that you are hard to pin down and may be an indicator of not having time to nurture a relationship. Once a guy has his ‘eyes on you’, he wants to be able to take you out at a moment’s notice – something that is getting harder and harder to do anymore. You might want to consider freeing up some of your weekend and weeknights ‘just in case’. 2. Are you truly ready for a relationship? – Part 2 – Have you gotten over your last love? If you have not put that past relationship ‘to bed’, then you will always be pining for your old flame and comparing the new man with the last lover – and you wouldn’t want to be in that situation, would you? It is O.K. to be single for awhile – until your heart has healed and you are filled with a hope that you WILL INDEED fine a perfect mate for you. 3. Do you gravitate towards the same character of a person? – True story: For many years, I was attracted to Latin men – that dark hair, dark eyes thing got me every time. Was this a good thing for me? NO – my personality and theirs always clashed. Why? I dunno, but I think it has got to do with my independent streak. I was like a diabetic in a candy shop – so good but so bad for me. That is when my Madrina (Godmother) told me to use the Saint Jude pink candles and give Him and God the freedom to send to me the one that was ‘right’ for me. And it happened, but I had to stop the stereotypes tape playing in my psyche. I had to accept whomever God placed in my path – no matter what – in orderto have true and lasting love. 4. Is there a pattern developing? – Can you see any correlation in the days of break up or the length of time each new relationship? This might be a time for a good reading to see if there is a ‘jinx’ or ‘curse’ placed on you by a jilted lover or a jilted lover’s ex – they want revenge sometimes...
