Scripture for Revelation + Truth Works

HELP REVEALING THE HIDDEN AND DISCOVERING THE TRUTH

The Bible contains scripture applicable to nearly every life situation. Indeed, for believers, it is a guidebook, for some, it is a grimoire, others a book of parables, and yet others, it’s a complete work of fiction. I won’t debate the veracity or importance of what is contained…



railroad spikes

Tales From The Hoodoo Trenches #1

FUCKING UP SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

“Layering” means have several works of protection going at once. Let me use myself as an example: I work with my Ancestors and ask for their protection. I have railroad spikes at the corners of my property,…

INTO THE BREACH

Ya’ know, I see a lot of bullshit floating around these days. Up until my late foray into the world of Facebook, I had no idea just how much. My interactions, to that point, had been with people who A) clearly knew their shit, and B) even if they were motivated, to a…



To Remove Unwanted “Passengers”

A COUPLE OF QUICKIES

As it seems is sometimes the case, I will come away from a meeting or being in public somewhere and I will start to feel ill and drained for no reason. It will feel as though I have picked up something or someone in the process of being out and about. Obviously,…



The Cotton Ball Obsession Jar

HERE’S MY TAKE ON THIS WORK THAT SEEMS TO BE SO SOUGHT AFTER
