When the Moon is changing from New Moon to Full Moon, or vice versa, old time conjurers, hoodoo practitioners and spiritual workers wait 24 hours before lighting candles to bring in or reverse, depending on the candle spell you are doing and the phase the Moon is in when beginning your spell. Traditionally, to manifest or “bring in ” good things, like new beginnings, a new love, more money, success, new job opportunities, etc., you would need to light your candle burning spell on the New Moon. This is when the Moon is from complete non existent or unable to be seen to the full round Moon. To banish, seek revenge, do “send away” spells or reverse a situation, it is said to burn your candle spell at the Full Moon time, or, when the Moon is moving from a full, round Moon to dark. But there is this little known truth to waiting 24 hours before beginning your spell. Some call it a “Moon wait”, “waiting on the Moon”, or a “Void of Course”. In astrology, a “Void of Course” is a term used to wait when the Moon changes from one astrological sign to the other, which happens every 2.5 days or so. This is crucial for those who calculate their candle burning rituals down to working with the energy of the planet that the Moon is in at that time, s all the planets have positive and negative strengths that can be harnessed to put a little “oomph” into your candle work. The term “Void of Course” translates into “nothing will happen or come of it”. This is a time when the Moon has to recharge or gear up to do the work either under the appropriate astrological sign or the phase of the Moon.To best explain it, I envision the office worker in “The Devil Wears Prada” saying “Gird your loins!” as Glenn Close’s character comes into the office. A “Moon wait” or to “wait on the Moon” is similar to a “Void of Course” for the Moon. Imagine this, you are going to go somewhere. Yo get into the car, turn it on, fasten your seat belt and shift into reverse. You let up off the brake and give it a wee bit of gas. You reach your point where you can then go forwards, apply the brake, shift into drive, and let up off the brake. That little bit if movement or shifting under your seat, where the transmission is, has to have a crucial few seconds to complete the reversing process, acknowledge the braking, recognize the shifting of the gears, before it can “think” to now move forward. This is the same for waiting the 24 hours after the Moon changes phases. It gives to Moon time to “think” that it now has to work for either positive or negative (depending on what you are doing and the phase) and move in that direction. When I post the blog entry to announce the New and Full Moons, I list the actual time the Moon is considered at it’s New or Full status, and it is noted for Eastern Standard Time. It is wise, as a candle burning practitioner, to calculate the best time for you in accordance to your time zone. It is up to you to determine when it feels ‘right’ to light your candle spell. Waiting 24 hours before lighting your candle spells when a major Moon phase shift happens is a good practice to insure that your spell will be it it’s best position for ultimate...
Posted by Jacqueline on Jul 1st, 2011 in Proper Candle Preparation | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | Using Visualization to Charge Your Candle
You have decided to burn a candle or candles for a certain situation in which you want to petition your Guardian Angels, the Saints and Higher Powers that be to sway the outcome to your desire. Whether it is for love, money or something else, it is your power of intent that will be a crucial and key ingredient to the success of your candle burning ritual. Lighting a candle, no matter what the situation, will be all for naught if you are not focused and emotionally attached to the situation. Sometimes you might feel the need to light a candle for your mate, girlfriend or a child’s situation in order to do the work for them, but it is important that you have some sort of connection with the one needing assistance from the Universe. After cleaning your candle, applying the oil and gripping the candle in your hands for a time to pray, meditate and charge your candle is an important step in a candle burning ritual. It is when you sit with candle in hands, focusing on what you want the outcome to be, that you are energizing and putting yout intent into the ritual. You may want to practice a technique of visualization, where you can see in your mind’s eye, exactly how things will play out and what the eventual outcome will be. This technique is used in many different settings, such as coaching a football team to victory or in a business where the Boss wants a certain outcome. It is also something that is used when creating postitive signs and vision boards. Like any skill, practice is the key element to being comfortable with using visualization. Here are some basic ideas you can use to charging your candle for your next ritual. When sitting with your candle in your hands, close your eyes and see the outcome you desire like watching a movie in your head. Use pictures in your mind to visualize. For example, if you are trying bring in money for a new home, see the new home in your mind. See yourself in the bank with a stack of money and signing the mortgage papers. See your family’s happy faces when they are unpacking the moving van. See how beautiful your new home is to you. Now take it one step further. Hear the laughing voices of the family as they squeal with delight at their new home. Hear the birds singing in your trees. Smell the flowers blooming in your yard of your new home. Now imagine how comfortable your new home will make you feel; how safe and secure. Once you see the home in your mind’s eye, add the other senses as you apply them, one by one, until the whole picture is in place. Let’s take another situation. You want to manifest a lover or maybe even bring in a little romance to a current relationship. See them standing in front of you, wanting you, desiring you. Visualize every detail of them – what kind of clothes they are wearing, their hair and eyes, their facial features. Do they have brown hair or blue eyes? Do they have a certain specific article of clothing that they wear? Now heighten the experience by smelling their natural body scent or their favorite cologne. Now taste their lips on yours, maybe with a hint of peppermint gum or strawberry lip gloss. Further, hear you lover speak romantic words to you. Hear the affection and desire in their voice. Hear them speak your name. Remember all of this and use all of your senses to visualize and charge you candle before lighting...

The New Moon is a perfect time to light candles to bring in a long lasting romantic love full of affection and hope for a bright future together.

Posted by Jacqueline on Jun 27th, 2011 in Moon Phases and Candle Spells | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | New Moon in Cancer – Maintain Obligations, Security
The New Moon in Cancer will occur on Friday, July 1, 2011 at 3:55 am E.S.T. This Moon is also governed by a Solar Eclipse and will be one of two New Moons this month, with the second coming on July 30th. This proves to be a very active month in regards to the Moon’s energy. Remember that any time an Eclipse occurs, that energy dominates the whole picture and matters that occur or items that need attention take on a higher level of importance than at other times of the year. Since the Moon is in Cancer, the sign of home, hearth and family, you might find that events surrounding these areas be emphasized. The down side of an eclipse is that most plans made during this time and the 7 days prior to the eclipse hardly ever work themselves out. Any investments, ventures or plans made now may see significant changes once the eclipse is over, around the 5th, and the energy spent on projects during the eclipse is all for naught. The Moon in Cancer is considered a “Cardinal” Water sign, meaning it is innovating, emotional and energetic. Lighting candles during the New Moon, which is considered a benevolent time for bringing in money, love and other blessings, can be heightened because of the Solar Eclipse – almost too much so. Caution and control in your words and deeds is stressed at this time. Lighting green candles to bring in money to the home, or white candles for enhancing the idea of starting or raising a family, yellow candles for making plans to purchase a home and the care of children is ruled by Cancer, which governs these areas. Just make sure you are not over reaching your goal. Casting candle spells for advancement in a position within your current job is also favored. Lighting candles to calm a home (using Peaceful Home Oil on blue candles) or using Controlling Oil on white candles for your children is beneficial at this time. The next Full Moon will occur on July 15,...
Posted by Jacqueline on Jun 26th, 2011 in Herbs and Spices used in Hoodoo and Conjure, Hoodoo Products and Uses | Comments Off on Kitchen Hoodoo | Using Allspice in Hoodoo, Conjure and Candle Spells
Allspice, also known as Jamaica Pepper, are the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant found in the Antilles and Central America. It has a sweet, smoky scent and is reminiscent of the combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg together. The English dubbed this spice “Allspice” as they were reminded of these three flavors as well. Allspice is used as a ingredient in spiritual products for Good Luck, Fast Luck and Money. You can anoint a red candle for “luck in a hurry” with Fast Luck Oil, a yellow candle for success with Crowning Glory or Crown of Success Oil or a green candle anointed with Money Drawing Oil and roll these candles (if free standing) in ground Allspice or you can place a good pinch of it in the top of your glass vigil candles for extra power to your candle spell. It is alleged that Allspice brings good luck to business owners and gamblers as well. Allspice is a key ingredient in mojo bags created to carry for money luck. One way to bring customers to your place of business is to create a floor wash daily with a spoonful each of ground allspice, ground cinnamon and sugar with a cup of Epsom Salts in warm water and mop your floors from the front door to the back, then taking the rest of the water and tossing it out the front door onto the walkway or sidewalk to draw in customers.

Posted by Jacqueline on Jun 23rd, 2011 in Name Papers and Petition Papers, Petition Papers Ideas | Comments Off on Readers Question | What to Do with Other Petition Papers
Hi Jacqueline, I have read your suggestion about money petition papers. What if it is not for money but someting else? What do you do with petition papers that are secret wishes for things like good health or for better times ahead? Mary * * * * * * * Mary, Let me tell you what I do with petition papers. As you know, I receive prayer requests from all over and place them free on my All Saints Altar, under the candles I am burning for others, so that they can “piggy back” on the candle intentions and have a little “oomph” for the Angels and Saints to hear. On Sundays, when I clean the Altar and reset things and such, I take those prayer requests and petitions, including the petitions that were attached to candles I have burned for clients, and I burn them on a charcoal that has frankincense and myrrh or other Holy Resins and Herbs on it, and let them burn, allowing the smoke to drift to Heaven. It is reminiscent of Old Testament times when burnt offerings were placed on fires in the Temple. You might want to do the same for your petitions. Get a aluminum pie pan and light some incense charcoal that you can get at a spiritual supply shop or Catholic store. Frankincense and Myrrh granules can be found there as well. Light charcoal, drop some incense grains on he coal, then place petition on top of it. Make sure you area is fire safe. You can add prayers or a meditation time during your burn, if you wish. Thank you for a good question! J. ...
