- Free Candle Spells | Red, White, or Pink? The Best Candles for Love Spells Posted by Jacqueline on Jun 1st, 2021 in Love Candle Spells | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | Red, White, or Pink? The Best Candles for Love Spells One of the most often discussed subjects that is asked about on Hoodoo Psychics is spell work for love. Love is a powerful emotion, and unless it is harnessed by logic, can produce actions that are unexplainable and uncontrollable. This is because love is a deep feeling that shakes our core, causes us dizzying highs and G-force plunging lows on an emotional rollercoaster as we manifest a new loving relationship or maintain longevity in a current one. In the history of setting of lights, or burning candles and other objects of illumination of prayers, the ancient civilizations used oil lamps in temple or home altar settings. As we as a people evolved, the early ancestors learned that melting sheep and beef fat carved from the animals that were hunted for consumption, was a resource for light. Sticks and/or woven string material was dipped over and over into the tallow, allowed to dry, and then stored to produce light at night for seeing. The production of petroleum was the advancement of our modern day candle, which in early times was white. In the last 50 years or so, the addition of dyes and tints to the liquid wax before cooling is the latest metamorphosis of our candles we use today. Many seek to use candle burning rituals to enhance attraction or to sustain compatibility and which colors, herbs, oils, and petitions to use. The use of candle colors in modern day spell casting has always been a subject of conversation between client and spiritual worker, Let’s learn about the differences in love candle colors: WHITE WAX: The use of white wax as a candle color is a universal “back up plan” for all candle spells. In nature, Sunlight is considered white and that white light is a mixture of all colors, but we cannot see it as separate colors. So with that in mind, we can safely use a white candle for all candle spells (both positive and negative) when we do not have a tinted candle on hand. Using white candles is utilizing the lightness of white to a spell. The message of a white candle is Purity, Innocence, Cleanliness, Peace (of a higher spiritual nature), and Clarity. Using white candles in love spell work allows a calm feeling to be imparted onto the couple or situation. To create a sense of calm, rational thought and visions and plans for the future are mort clearly defined, and the positive strategies for success can be well thought out before action....
- Free Candle Spells | Create Your Own Love Magic in Your Kitchen! Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 10th, 2019 in Love Candle Spells | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | Create Your Own Love Magic in Your Kitchen! February….the month of Love, Love, wild and wonderful Love! The month of February holds the feast day of the Patron Saint of Love, Valentine, but also is a very early precursor to Spring. The Sun seems to shine a wee bit more than the last few months and we can see some very early flowering bulbs such as hyacinth, tulips, snow narcissus and even a few early daffodils peeking through the snow and dirt. February is a perfect time to consider Love Magic as committed couples have entertained throughout the Holidays, and buckled down to finances and early tax preparation in January. Single individuals have created New Year’s resolutions to focus on becoming one with another, and the onset of Spring (and awakened hormones) is spurning you to create the perfect Love Magic fragrance to wear to seduce and attract that perfect mate. The addition of certain herbs, roots, and spices to fragranced oils is a time honored tradition in Hoodoo and Conjure. Wise practitioners know the certain magical and physical properties of their botanicals, and add them to oil to create the perfect recipe for the desired effect. Here are some common kitchen products that you can add to any fragrance oil to boost their love drawing power! Almond Oil – A specialty oil that is found in many high-end gourmet shops, it can also be found in many health foods markets. Almond oil is light and a good base for creating love fragrances. Many cooks use almond essence as a substitute for cherry flavoring in baking. Rose Flower Water and Orange Blossom Water are both good bases for the creation of lighter fragrance colognes that you can add herbs and spices to for alluring scents for attracting love. You can find both these food grade waters at specialty food stores in large Asian and Middle Eastern communities or online. Cinnamon – Cinnamon, a very common spice and a powerhouse of attraction, is a warm spice, meaning that it contains “hot” components to its structure. Cinnamon creates a fuzzy, cuddly feeling when the scent hits the nose. It softly tells the world that the wearer is near and approachable, ready for that small talk that leads to much longer conversations. It allows others to “let down their guard”. This is why real estate agents suggest placing a Pyrex dish of water and cinnamon powder in a low temperature oven, so that it will be inviting to prospective buyers. Cardamom – The favored spice of the Orient,...
- Free Candle Spells | St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 12th, 2017 in Love Candle Spells, St. Valentine Love Candles | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell February is the month of Love, Love, wild and crazy, breathtaking, passionate LOVE! We all need and crave love as a human, and there are spells by the thousands that are out there to do to attract the love of your life. Here is a St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell for you to use to attract the one you want. St. Valentine Bring Me a Love Candle Spell: 1.) Clean a pink glass encased 7-day “Novena” vigil Candle with Florida Water, Rubbing Alcohol or Lemon Juice to remove any dust particles and residuals from the candle factory. Set aside to dry. 2.) Write a petition with the description of what you consider a ‘perfect’ love to be: kind, industrious, thrifty, fathful, hard-working, convivial, fun, sexy, energetic, etc. 3.) Carve three small holes in the candle in the shape of a triangle for placement of the oil. Shake out any spent wax. 4.) Anoint the candle with the combination of these oils: 3 drops of Look Me Over Oil (so that a possible suitor will take notice of you) 3 drops of Follow Me Boy Oil (or Follow Me Girl Oil) (so that they will follow after you) 3 drops of Fire of Love Oil (so that they will be enraptured by your magnetism) 3 drops of Kiss Me Now! Oil (so that they will hunger for your delectable kiss) 5.) Place your petition under the candle and both in a fire-safe container like an aluminum pie tin or a Pyrex pie dish or bakeware to protect you from a fire. Make sure nothing is dangling over it and that no children or pets can get to the candle out of curiosity. 6.) Smudge the entire area around the candle with a sweet smelling incense like rose or brown sugar. Recite a prayer near and dear to your heart for St. Valentine to heed your request and hear your plea. 7.) Light candle and spend time in quiet meditative prayer while conjuring in your mind the image of your perfect lover. 8.) Keep candle lit until extinguished, if possible. If you feel the need to put the candle out when you are not home, then pinch it out with spit on your fingers or invest in a brass candle snufter. Never blow out a candle, as it will indicate you are done with the candle spell burning. 9.) Repeat this candle vigil until you get the desired results. Note: You have to do your part as well.

Full Moon in Gemini | December 21, 2010 – Keep Up with the Plans and Ideas!...
Posted by Jacqueline on 12 17th, 2010The Full Moon in Gemini occurs at 3:14 am E.S.T. on Tuesday, December 21, 2010. At this lunation, we are still feeling the effects of a Mercury Retrograde, the third of three retrograde periods from Mercury that occur each year. The planet Mercury governs the astrological sign of Gemini. When Mercury, the planet of Communication, is in Retrograde, you can experience things like e-mails and voice mails not connecting, letter being lost, the proverbial ‘checks in the mail’ not being there, computer problems and things that are said being misconstrued. This is a good time to do a computer back up, but not car repair, as you may find...

Free Candle Spells | How to Use Spiritual Anointing/Condition/Dressing Oils in Spiritual Practice
Posted by Jacqueline on Jan 31st, 2010 in Anointing, Condition or Spiritual Oils A to Z | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | How to Use Spiritual Anointing/Condition/Dressing Oils in Spiritual Practice
As you visit your neighborhood candle shop or botanica, you see shelves of little bottles of oils that are various colors and may have items floating in them. As you speak with the consultant or the person behind the counter, they may reach behind for a particular bottle and give you instructions on how to place the oil on your body (or someone else’s), rub on a candle or use in another fashion for your particular situation. These magical oils, sometimes called, “Condition”, “Anointing” or “Dressing” Oils can sometimes be used for all three purposes; sometimes each purpose needs a different oil, depending on ingredients in the oil. For the sake of clarity, let’s understand what the words “Condition”, “Anointing” or “Dressing”, as it can sometimes cause confusion through the many manufacturers of these oils. Anointing Oil – This is an oil that is placed on a fingertip and applied on the head, temples, back of the neck, hands, heart, or feet of the one being anointed. This is usually dome with the addition of prayer to boost the intent of the user or anointed in their strength of outcome for which the oil is applied. Another method of application is placing a few drops in one palm and rubbing the palms together to ‘heat up’ the oil. They then lightly rub over the surface of the body for a full body anointing. The direction of anointing in this method is also symbolic. For example, if you have a client or if you are in a negative situation or series of events and you feel that you have been “Jinxed”, “Crossed” or “Hoodooed”, then you would apply “Jinx Killer”, “Uncrossing” or any other oils that send back to the original person, or send away oils to clean your Spirit, thus elimination any further “Bad Luck”. You can find these oils at many fine retails such as Lucky13Clover.com. Condition Oil – This term is used to describe the situation (or ‘condition’) that you are facing – Court Case, Steady Work, Road Opener, etc. At the same time, it also describes the method that you will need to utilize to relieve yourself of that condition. This term is used widely throughout the Southern United States and can be specifically linked to the practices of Conjure and Hoodoo. For example, using the same idea from above, if someone has placed something down where you have walked over it or touched it, and it has been “fixed” to cause you troubles, and then you subsequently you touch it, pick it up or step over it, you are then considered as having a “Crossed Condition”, or “Jinxed Condition”. The term ‘condition’ refers to all the oils that are used in ritual to relieve you of the “condition”. Are all “conditions” bad? No – generally not – unless you particularly like being someone’s “love slave” – a possible cozy condition to be in unless the one who has used rituals for you to be there is abusing the power, such as sleeping with you and another. Then it is not a pleasant situation to be in. Dressing Oil – This term is used to describe what to do when you apply the oil on non-human objects – candles, knives, papers, pens, etc. – to do your bidding. You “dress” a candle by pouring the oil over it or pouring the oil in your hands and rub the oil over it to cover all the candle’s surface. You “dress” your petition papers y placing a drop of oil in the corners of the paper (you do not ‘anoint’ the papers as the paper is not a...Full Moon in Leo | January 30, 2010 – Resolve Your Differences with Peace!
Posted by Jacqueline on Jan 28th, 2010 in Moon Phases and Candle Spells | Comments Off on Full Moon in Leo | January 30, 2010 – Resolve Your Differences with Peace! The Full Moon in Leo occurs on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at E.S.T. This lunation, in the sign of Leo, is considered “Fixed”; meaning the energy expelled is unchangeable, aggressive, consistent and creative. The message of the Full Moon in Leo is that it is time to resolve your differences and do it with a peaceful, loving manner. We are not all perfect and all make mistakes. You can be civil in public to those who have wronged you – you just don’t need to invite them into your life again! This is an opportune time to recreate your altar and to create your most dramatic spell. Remembering that the Full Moon energy is “Release, “banish”, and “Reverse”, use this time for your most powerful Reversible Candle spells. For you that are new to candle burning, here is a photo of the correct Reversible Candle to use – with the Black Wax on TOP, not the bottom half of the candle. To read more about Reversible Candles, click the category on the right side of the page marked “Reversible Candles”. This is not the time for bringing in things like money, but use the same category to banish – meaning “banish” those bills, “reverse” that dwindling bank account, “release” those credit card bonds that hold you from finanacial freedom. This is also a good time to “send away” any bad boyfriends or girlfriends, crazies, nosy neighbors and the ilk. You need to do somewhat of a “house cleaning” to start anew in two weeks. The next New Moon will occur on Saturday, February 13...Free Candle Spells | Prosperity Experiment Updates & “Lucky” Green Rice!
Posted by Jacqueline on Jan 23rd, 2010 in Prosperity Experiment, Special Announcements | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | Prosperity Experiment Updates & “Lucky” Green Rice!
Our first week of the Prosperity Experiment is coming to an end and the first weeks candles are extinguishing. Here is a picture of the first week altar. You can see the candles in large rectangle baking dishes (for fire safety) with the petitions placed under the dish. The statue is the Caridad de Cobre, Cuba’s Patron Saint and Catholic image of Ochun, Yoruba goddess of money, gold and the good life. In front of her you can see my green money rice bowl, full of Lucky Green Rice intermixed with coins from all over the world. Rice is considered a staple in many cultures around the world and many homes forbid to never run out of rice as it is a harbinger of Bad Luck. In the Southern spiritual traditions, rice that has been tinted green with food coloring and also has special herbs with money drawing capabilities can be worn in your shoes for 3 days, then sprinkled about the home and swept towards the front door with a broom to attract more money to the home. “Lucky” Green Rice is the first product being produced by my sister company, Lucky 13Clover Spiritual Supply. We are also proud to announce that we are now carrying the Motor City Hoo Doo Condition Oils line as well. You may click on the links in this article to go directly to the Lucky 13 Clover website.

Posted by Jacqueline on Jan 22nd, 2010 in Astrological Candles | Comments Off on Article Reprint | Astrological Candles – Aquarius the Water Bearer Aquarius the Water Bearer rules those born from January 21st to February 20th. This zodiacal sign is of the Air Element, despite the figure in common images is seen pouring water from an urn. These candles, sometimes referred to as “Astral” or “Star” candles, are an enhancement to your candle burning spell for you (or the one for whom you are working a candle spell) to give a personal power touch to the spell. Each person is born under one zodiac sign and under the influence of the sign’s planetary influence. If an Astrological Candle is not available in your sign, then you may obtain a plain 7-day glass novena candle in the appropriate color for your sign and use a permanent marker or paint pen to draw the symbol for Aquarius on the outside of the glass. The symbol for Aquarius is two wavy lines, one on top of the other, that resembles watery waves. The Candle color associated Aquarius is Purple and can be anointed with Uranus Condition Oil. The gemstone for Aquarius is...New Moon in Capricorn | January 15, 2010 – Focus on Your Goals
Posted by Jacqueline on Jan 10th, 2010 in Moon Phases and Candle Spells | Comments Off on New Moon in Capricorn | January 15, 2010 – Focus on Your Goals The New Moon in Capricorn will occur at 2:12 am E.S.T. on Friday, January 15, 2009. The Moon in Capricorn is considered “Cardinal”, and the energy with this placement is the most materialistic of all lunar placements and signs. It is energetic, innovative and practical. There is also a Solar Eclipse on this date and since eclipses rule for about six months, the lessons from Capricorn that we need to understand are taking responsibility and working towards gaining self-respect and the respect of others in aspect of handling responsibilties in a proper manner. This is the time to do the ‘own up’! Please note: Mercury will turn direct on this day as well. You may hear some surprising news! Please watch what you say about others. Now is the time to put into place all of the candles to be burned for needed money from unexpected places. It is also most auspicious for burning candles for any kind of material necessities to continue to sustain yourself and your loved ones. This is especially true if you have been waiting for these items to come your way. ***Warning*** this is not the time to exact revenge on someone as it will protect the non-offender. You will need to wait until another time to give them a “universal whuppin'”, so to speak. Try not to speak wrongly or accuse someone of anything at this time as Justice in on the side of the innocent and you might get the “cosmic” smack upside the head! I conduct a Prosperity Experiment twice a year to harness this energy and bring in needed money, prosperity and security in these tough times. For more information and to order your participation in the Prosperity Experiment ,click here. Our next Full Moon will be on January 30,...The Prosperity Experiment | January 16, 2010 – 30 Days to More Wealth in 2010!

Happy New Year 2010! Wishing You and Yours a Prosperous, Healthy and Happy New Year! There are many traditions regarding the consumption of various foods to bring in luck, happiness and prosperity to families all over the World. In the South, it is said that you must eat Greens, Black Eyed Peas and Cornbread on New Year’s Day to be prosperous and successful throughout the year. each item is symbolic for a certain part of your everyday life. The Collard or Mustard Greens symbolize ‘greenbacks’ or ‘folding money’, the Cornbread because of its’ golden color represents “gold” as in gold and coin money and Black Eyed Peas ,also known as Cow Peas, for general Good Luck. Some cook a Rice and Black Eyed Peas dish called “Hoppin’ John” and serve it with baked Ham. While I am not partial to Hoppin’ John, it has been a tradition in my family for years to eat the Black Eyed Peas, Greens, Cornbread and with the addition of Fried Okra on New Year’s Day. These dishes can be prepared in many different ways. You may find recipes by searching the Internet or asking an Elder in the Church or neighborhood.
