Using Flavoring Extracts Instead of Oils

THEY’RE A CINCH WHEN YOU’RE IN A PINCH AND EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT

Here’s a little bit of hoodoo from the kitchen. Instead of using condition oils to dress money, candles, mojos, and yourself, try using flavoring extracts. Real vanilla and peppermint extracts are great for money. Orange and Vanilla are great for attraction and love….



Feather Pillows and Death Crowns

ONE OF THE ODDEST MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD

I was five years older than my brother. I say “was” because he has passed now. Been gone now much longer than he was alive. My dear brother was always sickly. He had asthma, among other issues, and the North Texas weather was not kind. My mother did…



Thrift Shops, Occult Stores, and the Like

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT OR WHO YOU MIGHT PICKUP

I haunt my local Goodwill like Casper the Friendly Ghost. I am always popping in and dropping something off and nine times out of ten, I am bringing something back with me, too. I have found a big chunk of my working tools at thrift shops, garage…

MAKE YOUR HOUSE A LARGE MIRROR BOX

USE A BOTTLE OF WAR WATER TO REVERSE WORKS OF NEGATIVITY

The Southwest has its own kind of beauty and its own kind of conveniences. Something we have an abundance of here is heat. I like to use this and our other natural resources in my workings whenever the opportunity presents itself, like in this next…



There Are Masters and Then There’s Everyone Else

MOTHER OF THOUSANDS

When I was a kid, a friend of the family who knew I loved plants gave me a Kalanchoe. It was the neatest thing to me because I had never seen anything like it. She explained that each one of the babies, along each one of the leaves, would drop off and a whole…



It’s Super Bowl Time Once Again

“A DIRTY BIRD CAN’T FLY WITH A BROKEN WING”

Whenever the Super Bowl comes around, it makes me think of the year the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts were playing (Super Bowl XLIV, 2010). The media got a lot of millage out of the fact that New Orleans is associated with the practice of…



The Turn of the Screw

THIS TRICK IS HEAVY ON THE SYMBOLISM

Once in a great while, there will be an instance where I simply cannot bide my time waiting for the Cosmic 2 x 4 to come along and smack a given individual in the head. (I’m getting older and I just do not have the patience.) Instead, I will…



Blood, Sweat, and Tears

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS ISN’T JUST A GROOVY SEVENTIES BAND

Bloodletting At Its Best

“I don’t do blood magic!” I cannot count how many times I have suggested to someone that they use a little bit of their blood on a candle, packet, or in some other work, and they have looked at me like I’m some…
