Seven African Powers and their Corresponding ( syncretised ) Saints

In Creole Voodoo, practiced in swampy Louisiana and particularly New Orleans, even though not being officially worshiped/ respected/ petitioned deities, Saints serve as images and representation for the Loa , spirits in Voodoo ( also called Lwa ).
So why is that ? Loa's and Saints are elevated to those respective positions, according to way of life they led on earth, but they are two very different kind of spirits indeed. Well this is due to historical reasons, and also similarities Black people saw between their Lwa and Saints of Christianity they found when arrived to States.
But here is an excerpt from my recent Scribed publication that will illustrate this practice for You :



The first image shows St. Anthony often used to represent PaPa Legba in New Orleans Voodoo ( image source : http://www.sacredgrove.com/St_Anthony.gif ) , second picture shows Catholic image of Our Lady of Grace, an common representation of Androgynous king of white clooth Obatala ( Loa ) in New Orleans Voodoo ( found it in public domain and edited )


With the coming of enslaved black people to America, other than new “home” they were supposed to get also a New Religion, Christianity being that one. Their native believes and teachings were described as harmful and work of the De**l. So black people, in order to keep practicing, replaced the Images of their deities with Saints that were similar to them, so they could freely pray before a Saint’s image and same time petition some Loa. This Practice still remains and in New Orleans Voodoo it is very common to petition Loa, using Saints depictions as focus image/representation of them ( Loa ). It is commonly said by sociologist how Loa have been syncretized with Saints this way, yet from a Theological viewpoint. That statement is highly debatable, mostly due to different origin of the spirits.
Even under such, cruel and unfair treatment the Black folk managed to keep their believes and practices. Some Loa have almost same qualities as Saint Representing them, which according to Black people stands to show how Loas and Saint are not that different after all. In the end both were people that were powerful and virtuous by life, though virtue criteria may differ in places, between Christianity and Voodoo religions of course.
Not all Loa have Saint to represent, not to say camouflage their image lol , but ones of Seven African powers system certainly do, and here is the basic Saint-Loa correspondence list:

• PaPa Legba – St. Anthony , St. Michael the Archangel , St. Miguel Caballero
• Yemaya – Lady of Regla, Mary Star of the Sea
• Oya – Our Lady of Candelaria ( mostly Santeria ) and St. Teresa
• Ogun – St. George and sometimes Saint Anthony ( New Orleans Voodoo ) St. Peter ( Santeria and Palo )
• Chango – represented by image of St. Barbara, most often Greek Orthodox depiction , sometimes an image of St Jerome is also used as representation
• Obatala – Most often represented by Catholic depiction of Our Lady of Grace
• Oshun – Our Lady of Charity is a common depiction both in Santeria and New Orleans Voodoo

Another interesting Loa of Christian origin is Papa Lebat. I am adding this here simply to show how hard black people fought to maintain their believes, and how inventive they were while doing so. Also in a way it is one of many links of Christianity to Voodoo.
So the story goes that there was a Catholic Priest, in early 1900ies , named Father Jean Baptiste Lebat that tried to eradicate Voodoism in New Orleans. Even after many years of constant oppressions Voodooists managed to elevate this man to Loa status after his death. Voodoo people gave him the opposite function in the spiritual realm than his role in the physical realm. Instead of oppressor and squelcher of Spirit, he became the road opener and protector serving pretty much the same function as Papa Legba and is invoked before each ceremony, and is asked to clear the way, provide protection, and remove obstacles so that Voodooists may serve freely.
How cunning, wouldn’t ya’ say ? 

Saint Dymphna Patron Saint of of the sexually abused , chastity, and those affected with mental conditions

Yay an post about Saint's finally :) I'll try to have more of those


Well the title clearly gives an idea of when and why to pray for this Saint intercession .

Saint Dymphna is a Christian Saint and martyr , that lived in 7th century AC.
Saint Dymphna was a Christian , daughter of Damon an Irish pagan tribal elder, with women that was devoted Christian and who’s name is l no l onger known( mother ). As her Mother died, when Dymphna was in her teen ages, she was left alone with her dad. He saw Dymphna’s beauty and purity and felt dirty urges towards her, presumably because she reminded him of her mother. When she declined him he got very angry and abusive. She fought him off and fled across the sea to Belgium, accompanied only by an elderly priest and family friend named Gerebernus.
Her father searched for them and when led to Belgium and when innkeeper refused to take his currency as it was hard to exchange he suspected that Dymphna is there. He finds Dymphna and decapitates her friend which trys to protect her. As she refuses to be with him once again he kills her too.

***The image is a common depiction of St.Dymphna and is from Wikipedia,
with no ill will used , merely used as ilustration to this post and a image that could be printed, framed and used for devotion and work with St. Dymphna

The burial place of St. Dymphna has long been associated with accounts of miraculous cures of mental ilness/conditions . An infirmary was built there in the 13th century and to this day Gheel hosts a world-class sanatorium.. These tombs can be found in Belgium

Her feast day is on 15th of may and being a Catholic Saint there is no difference between Gregorian and Julian calendar.
Her colors are Green and Light Blue, and candles of such color can be burned when petitioning this Saint, or You can burn a Novena candle dedicated to this Saint :)

As for plants associated with St. Dymphna , honestly there was very little I could find both online and in books, I have heard though that Lavender is one of them. If You know more on herbs, and St.Dymphna oil please leave a comment bellow, I am sure that all tha read this and myeself will be veryv grateful to You :)

Becuse of an institution for the insane that was erected near Dymphna's grave, and as it became known for its miraculous healings of the mentally ill, epileptic, and possessed, Dymphna was deemed the Patron Saint not only of the victims of child sexual abuse, incest, and rape, but also of those suffering from nervous afflictions such as anorexia nervosa, depression, and anxiety. She is also famed to be great to invoke for ridding oneself of addiction and purity/chastity/celibacy, even temperance and fortitude according to Catholics. Here are some prayers You can use in work with St. Dymphna

Prayer for Mental Afflictions and conditions to St. Dymphna

O God, we humbly beseech You through Your servant, St. Dymphna, who sealed with her blood the love she bore You, to grant relief to those who suffer from mental afflictions and nervous disorders, especially (Name). St. Dymphna, helper of the mentally afflicted, pray for us.Glory be....

Prayer for Saint Dymphna’s intercession against addiction
___________________________________________

God of mercy, we bless You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who ministered to all who came to Him. Give Your strength to (name of person addicted), one of Your children, enfold him/her in Your love and restore him/her to the freedom of God's children.
Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of Your unfailing mercy, strengthen them in the work of recovery, and help them to resist all temptation.
To those who care for them, grant patience and understanding and a love that perseveres. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Dymphna for Chastity

Most pure virgin, St. Dymphna, we live at a time when many are intent on satisfying every carnal appetite. Your single-minded dedication to Christ alone is providential and inspiring. Please help us by your power with God to see life in proportion as you did. With your aid we propose to perform all our actions for a pure motive, and promptly to resist all our evil inclinations. Amen

Hoodoo powders

Powdered sulphur ( Image from wikipedia )

I wrote about many magickal products on here , but hardly ever mentioned powders .
Have no idea why really lol , but we will fix this right away :)

Powders had been used in magick so long that it is rather hard to determine year or epoch when the practice of using powders first started.

The practice of using powders in magick had been renewed and popularized in Middleage ( there is one recipe later in my post ) and in Modern days mostly thanks to Hoodoo.


How to make powders

It is not that difficult at all to make them. All You need is a good mortar and pestle ( I suggest ceramic ones, but wooden ones can do ) and a material to be pulverized , mostly herbs , resins and minerals, rarely animal parts.

While powdering them it is suggested to visualize Your goal You wish to achieve with powder.
However Of You would find visualization while grinding, or powdering disruptive, the mere intent and Your effort, even physical, shall energize the mixture
If You grind in coffee grinder or blender ( which I would only do If the root or bark is too hard to powder or when the material can only be powdered with help of technology ) visualize the goal after done, holding the powder and mixing it with bare hands , as in this case it may lack the extra energy that powders get by grinding.

How to deploy powders ?

- You can walk backwards sprinkling them as You do so ( on someone’s doorstep or in someone’s yard for example )
- You can add them to food, drink, shoe bottom, clothes or maybe even bath
- You can dust candles with them ( If You dress a candle with Condition oil in Hoodoo and then dust it with powder , You fixed the candle )
- You can add them to mojo hands or dust the same with them - You can blow them to Your target, dust doll babies, or burn as incense, possibilities are so many , be creative J


Now few recipes as examples and to show You that I like sharing If You have not noticed that by now already J

Red brick dust
_______________

Powder red brick to fine powder. It will kill ( neutralize ) any powders lain to harm You and is used in Reddening practice of New Orleans of which I wrote earlier here ( o0n this blog , Hoodoo trademark protection spells, I think was the post title )

Crossing powder
_______________


Used to cause harm, create crossed Condition and jinx. Mix and powder the following

* A spoon of Asafoetida root powder
* A spoon of Sulphur powder
* Half a spoon of Crushed Red Peppercorns or Red pepper flakes
* Half a spoon of Powdered Vandal root
* A good pinch of Black salt or Graveyard dirt



Good traditionalists may add powdered Dirt dauber’s nest , particularly if love jinx or Intranquil spirit type jinx is intended .
These can be dissolved in Boric acid or Four thieves vinegar , but that is to for another story :P

Image shows Cayenne pepper powdered Recipe by me Shadow of Shadows magick place or Shadow-333@hotmail.com

Down home Uncrossing powder
___________________________

This traditional formula calls for burning Black hen’s feathers and collecting then ash. This is called “Down home Uncrossing powder” and as the name suggests ( Hoodoo names rock huh ) is used a very strong uncrossing agent. You can powder people, inanimate objects or dwellings ( corners mostly ) or add to bath.


Lizard Hoodoo powder cure
__________________________

Quoted from “Folklore form Adams County Illinois” by Henry Middletone Haytt
9578. "To overcome a Hoodoo kill a lizard. Do it by smoking. Beat it to a powder. Mix the powder with whiskey. Drink it. This will cure you." Negro.
All I can say , Ew :P

As single ingredient powders most of us are familiar with Salt, Saltpetter and Espom Salt, Alum and here we have few of them combined in powder recipes9626.

Red pepper and Salt
___________________

"If you think someone has a spell on you, put red pepper and salt in all four corners of the room. It will take the spell off." Negro.
From same source as one above

Simple “Fear not to walk over evil powder”
______________________________________________


Wearing this powder in Your shoes ( on the bottom of the shoes ) shall prevent “feet poisoning” or being Jinxed by walking over crossing type powder , Hot foot or where bottles are buried.

* Salt
* Saltpeter
* Red Pepper
* Black Pepper

Three of the above listed ingredients are enough to combine and are usually already in powder form so basically just mix well with bare hands. Recipe by Miss Catherine Yronwode ( respectfully )

Powders can also be used as floor sweeps, meaning powdering herbs and or minerals and mixing them, sprinkling on floors or most often carpets and sweping them out with broom ( often used in cleanisng ceremonies ) and one great example would be Basil, Eucalyptuss leafs, and Salt to base of Na2HCO3 ( Sodium bicarbonate ) which is along with Baking powder base for floor sweeps and is added ussualy in twice or thrice amount bigger than herbal mixture
Powders can be burnedon charcoal as incenses too.

Three ingredients confusion powder
____________________________________

All ya’ need is to mix and powder poppy seeds, Black mustard seeds with some Cayenne

Recipe by me Shadow of Shadows magick place or Shadow-333@hotmail.com , If You wish to use any recipe signed by me elsewhere feel free but add credits , That goes for the next one too

Three ingredient Peace Powder
_______________________________

Use as Peaceful home powder and to calm down the anger, also where War Water has been used ( You can combine with peace water )
Basil , Rosemary and Cumin seeds , powder well and use.





Well hope You liked my post, and have a great weekend, Many Blessings J

Ghost month O.o

Ok so this will be a quick but hopefully informative post , July is here and that means it is time for Chinese folk to appease the Hungry ghosts that walk freely for a whole lunar month ( 28 days aprox )

*painting "Ghosts rising" found here http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/img/ghost_3.jpg

You may or may not be familiar , or even agreable
with Chinese magick or Chinese customs and craft of the folk , but trust me there are quite a few good reasons to do so
What are they You may ask ?
- The core of this practice is appeasement of ancestral and other spirits , which is always a good idea, any good practitioner needs spirits
that will be on their side , as spirits can do so much more than mere humans :)
- This kind of practice builds up discipline in magickal practice that majority seems to lack nowadays
- Good for general spiritual development and boosting mediumship abilities
- Learning about other traditions ( if of course You are not from China :D )
- It os uter fun , you get to burn things lol ;)




Chinese gosth month , or Ghost festival ( pinyin , guiye )

The fifthteenth day of the seventh Lunar month is in Chinese tradition considered a Ghost day ( festival ) while the whole 7th month ( both Lunar , and the common calendar 7th month aka July commonly ) is considered a Ghost month in all the sense of the word.
Just like on Haloween , or Dia de los Muertos , or St. John's day ( Holly day of Voodoo ) in Louisiana , this is time of year when the veil is rather thin indeed , and the dead walk among the living.
In the Chinese tradition on this day and on whole month the gates of lower plains are opened and both the ghost of deceased visit their families and cousins and spirits walk among humans too. Some Chinese folk say that many of them spirits are in rather nasty mood and try to find someone to take their place in lower plains ( kind of like He*l ) in order that they could be set free and roam the Earth.
This is why cunning Chinese folk protect themselves and appease the ghosts and spirits
If You wish to share their practice that not only ensures safety from Nasty spirits but also brings blessings , there are but a few simple and fun things You can do :

Protection

- Hang Bagwa Mirrors near home or on Your front doors , room doors etc. for they are brilliant protection of spirits and they deflect negative energies
- Hang decorations and or protection symbols made of peach fruit in same manner s bagwa mirrors

- Traditional Chinese amulets for protection against ghosts ( such as Jade animals on thread ) are hung at thresholda and entrances of Your property

Offerings and appeasement

- Colorful fruit or sweets are offered to spirits
- Sweet smelling incense sticks ( such as vanilla ) are burnt daily to appease spirits
- fake money or colorful paper is burnt to give spirits "money" to get what they need on "other side" and show them respect. This also brings good fortune for ones burning them
You may pettition spirits to be kind and bring You blessings while You do this


What You should evade dong by all cost

According to Chinese folk lore it is an offense to spirits ( thus makes them rather angry and puts in vengative mood , and trust me, that is hardly a good thing ) to
- whistle in house
- spill ashes or empty ashes near home or inside


So there You go eclectic view on this very interesting and scary celebration

Know Your enemy

Reveal Your enemy’s identity


Many times we have people working against us wishing to harm us. Sometimes in order to defend ourselves , we need to know their identities which is often an utter hard task , because we cannot really fight unknown enemy, rather we can fight his actions and reverse them .That shall, indirectly cause them to pay for what they have done, but will not necessarily make them stop what they are doing. One can bind them If one knows them . For example Hoodoo Mirror box spell will ensure that someone is no longer a threat, but for it to be done properly, we must be familiar with our enemy’s identity.

The greatest part of hexes and Curses are directed towards us as a result a jealousy , envy, lack of creativity or courage to confront us , revenge or even misguided anger. Such people are fable individua s, backstabbers and shall try by all costs to remain unknown as perpetrators of these “crimes”.
Skilled rootworker and/or spiritual worker shall perform a reading before Uncrossing work and get idea who harmed their clients and in what manner, But what could one do themselves to get this information ? Make a list of suspicious people, and then deductively shorten the list until one or few names remain , use spells and divinations and so on

Well here are few spells , just keep in mind that sometimes people shield from these kind of divinations and spells ( all they need to do so is strong desire to remain hidden from You ) therefore, just be persistent

Hoodoo spells to reveal enemy

One simple spell that is used to reveal the identity of our enemy , false friends, secret admirer anyone really, calls for

*some Power oil , or Psychic oil
*white-purple candle ( white or purple can do to , I like to use double color to give spell a "boost" sort of speaking ) ,
*petitioner paper ( that You will place underneath candle ) with question written on it, and
*a glass of spring water that has been blessed with prayers for protection ( Night water )

Place a candle on a night table making sure it will that does not pose any danger of causing fire. Dress the candle and Your forehead with some of the oils mentioned. Place the glass of water next to candle to protect You from any nightmares or influences on Your mind. Light tha candle and ask Your higher power or Spirits to help You find n out the identity of this person. Go to sleep and document Your dream/s :Maybe it's a good idea adding some Anise seeds underneath Your pillow, and /or some
flax seeds too

Red Flannel conjuration

Boil a piece of red flannel in a pot with water, on the back of the stove on Midnight or after and as folk tradition says the wrongdoer shall come and apologize.
( from "FOLKLORE FROM ADAMS COUNTY ILLINOIS" by Henry Middletone Haytt )

Balkan/Slavic spell to reveal a witch

Balkan folk have been known to have kept many ancient magickal secrets over the years , even ages.
Some of which are raw , many date back to middle age and are often very cruel. One requires catching a moth , a night butterfly , because according to Balkan folk one that is tormented by witch shall encounter a big scary moth quite often at night. This has most likely to do with the belief that witches , when astraly leaving the body can take form pof moth to conceal their appearance and spy more easily.

So one needs to , get courage to catch such moths, or to find a Death's-head hawkmoth (Acherontia spp.), and catch that one , burn it on a flame , preferably one of the candle saying :



Come to me, tomorrow, asking for salt !

Then according to Balkan folk next day witch shall come to Your doors asking to borrow some salt ( or something else If not salt , the stress in on person coming to Your doorstep, asking to borrow something , food mostly counts )

* picture shows night moth , interpreted on Balkan as a very bad omen , as described in text,and the picture taken by myself
Then according to Balkan folk next day witch shall come to Your doors asking to borrow some salt ( or something else If not salt , the stress in on person coming to Your doorstep, asking to borrow something , food mostly counts )

Another method Balkan witches use , and one brilliantly effective in finding the source of Evil eye or glance of malice , is called Extinguishing the coals . Witch prepares water with a pinch of salt and makes cross signs over it with sprigs of Basil and Kustura ( Balkan equivalent to athame ) while chanting and incantation that calls for power of Sun , Moon and Stars to come down and reveal one that “has evil-eyed ( or hexed ) the dear N.N” . If the cunning folk performing this spell starts yawning while chanting that is the sign that the affected will heal completely. After done with chanting ( as many times as one sees fit ) the Cunning man or women, or a witch takes one by one piece of burning coal, using spoon or metal thongs and tosses them down in the water calling suspects names at loud. When the correct name is spoken the coal shall hit the bottom of the vessel with water and remain there , meaning it will sink instead of floating on the surface.
The patient is then given the small amount of water to sip , and rest to sprinkle home and use in bath.

* picture shows night moth , interpreted on Balkan as a very bad omen , as described in text,and the picture taken by myself


European witches methods

Include simply blessing some water lighting a single or two blue, white or purple candles as only lights in room , pouring water in dark colored container , preferably glass one, and speaking words of power, a chant to bring enemy into sight. Then a spoon of oil ( in Mediterranean Olive oil and Sea water, or even plain water are often used ) or ink and is added and witch gazes into water surface in order to note omens or faces even.

Modern day practitioners make a list of suspects, write them in Circle and then use Crystal pendulum to divine the perpetrator . This has been known to be a very , very effective method.

In one of his books, Scot Cunningham suggests burning a yellow candle, wrapped in Ground Ivy around the base , on Tuesday to make Your enemy identity known.

There are powders to reveal a theft or criminal containing Galangal root , Hydragenea
Bark along with one or two more ingredients , that are sprinkled on crime scene. If You’ve found a mess that Your enemy lain, sprinkle it with such a powder , it can work brilliantly.

Wiccan people are known to use Athame for this , they chant some chant above the athame , that call forth the powers of “air and knowing” to indicate where from is the evil coming. The Athame is then swirled , or rotated and left until stops on it’s own, the sharp blade point will be pointing to direction where from evil is coming.

The Blue tourmaline wands are used the similar way. As they are well known as keen on giving answers , and indicating the right way or source of negativity.


Hope You find this article of mine helpful , Blessings ! :)

Hoodoo Herbology Five Finger Grass

Five Fingers Grass ( Cinquefoil )




One of the trademarks of Hoodoo herbalism and Conjure, and unlike what we used to , when it comes to Hoodoo that is , it is not a root J
It is actually a green herb , small wine with perky yellow flowers from family Rosaceae and subfamily Rosidae , and of genera Potentilla , just like common strawberry . However should not be confused with other species of same genera , even though Potentilla erecta ( Tormentil ) is know to be used under the same name ,which is fine.

What is important is that the Potentilla we need is with leaves clearly divided onto five lobes, or more accurate leaflets, arranged palmately , resembling to fingers of hand. So count the leaflets If You are unsure of species You use , as for flower it is most commonly yellow with 5C + 5K, for the species we need .
Cinquefoil or Five finger grass is used in Conjure to bring success “in all things five fingers can do”
That usually refers to gamble or getting favors from other people ( this use is accented in Pow Wow’s of long Lost friend ) but can be used for any kind of success really. An ingredient of “Crown of Success” oil and many washes , among others Lucky gamblers hand-wash.
It is often used in Uncrossing spells, mixtures , sometimes even reversal work and is one of crucial ingredients of “Abre camino” and “Road openers” along with the Herb Abre camino ( Eupatorium villosum )

So here are some neat ways to use Five fingers Grass :

Five finger Grass oil
_____________________________

- Add whole leaves of Five finger grass ( I use 3 large ones )
- Few Frankincense grains ( optional , but I love to add it )
into:
- 1 – 2 oz’s of base oil preferably Jojoba

Leave to sit at least for a week and best for a month before use. You can add some Vertivert or Bergamot oil making this a simple form of Success and Good luck oil.


Uncrossing Floor wash
_____________________

When some premises are cursed , hexed , fixed , dressed , jinxed or alike one of the very best cures ( uncrossing conjures ) is a simple floor wash made of ( as suggested in book: “Hoodoo herb and root magick , A materia magica of African American Conjure by Miss Catherine Yronwode” , slightly edited by myself ) :

- Infusion of Five fingers grass
- Uncrossing bath crystals dissolved in it
- You can add some lemon , lemngrass or camphor oil , or lemon juice to Supercharge the mixture even further

Wash “affected” premises thoughtfully, even the walls how much You cab reach, inside to out.

After this You could additionally burn some incense , such as “Blessing incense” , “Helping hand” , Cayenne and Sulphur incense ( mind not to be inside while burns , open all the windows ) , “Uncrossing incense” , “Peaceful home incense” , Dragons blood or Frankincense.


Rest assure any Crosses , jinxes and Messes will be lifted and removed after this.

Healing spells in Hoodoo and other traditions

Due to unhealthy life style, sins, pollution, ever growing technological development, epidemic crisis, so many people suffer from one or more health conditions nowadays.
So a common request, to a Spiritual worker or Witch, is often how to heal the sick relative, friend etc.

Magick can work miracles in this department, but common health care should come first. Yes , magick can cure what medicine is unable , however only medical experts can diagnose health conditions properly and treat urgent traumas. If there were ever spells or any form of magickal procedures , charms or potions that could heal instantaneously even the most severe of traumas, today such knowledge is either forgotten or kept jealously as secret J

What I want to say with all that is that healing magick even though indeed miraculous and wonder-working, takes time and effort. Therefore get a diagnose , proper medical care and then If needed magickal assistance.

I shall do my best to cover as much as possible here , however the topic is so large and seemingly inexhaustible, that I am not certain how successful will I actually be.

Whom to turn to ?
There are many ways of alternative healing , Reiki , Crystals etc. Here , in this article/post I will limit my elaboration on magickal ways of healing and Healing magick.

When to turn to  spiritual work ?
When You need help, because the medical treatment is not working good enough or medical professionals do not offer solution.
IMPORTANT ( !!! ) When medicine can not diagnose Your condition but the symptoms are evident Your sickness/condition is most likely magickaly induced , so swallow Your skepticism , stop wasting time and money and refer to proper Spiritual worker.

What to expect ?
Healing via magick mostly works all the time. However sometimes the conditions may be a punishment, or a karmic lesson or simply something one is destined to undergo., and overcome alone, or with other  form of help. In such cases,  indications of this may appear in reading which should be preformed before healing work for clarification,  directions and/or possible omens, and magick may help , but perhaps via other type of procedures.

Time for healing magick

Healing is best preformed during the waning Moon phase , and day and Hours of Sun are most suitable for such operations ( Sunday ) . Some also say Moon's day ( Monday ) and Hours of the Moon are good for healing, soothing, and removing mental conditions.
Now here are some neat spells and procedures

Egg healing spells

Each day  during the waning Moon,  starting form Full , rub egg all over patient's body,  or the  affected part and pray for disease to depart. In the morning,  toss the egg in running water , crossroad or even toilet and flush it. This means new egg is used each day ! Some practitioners shall do this over a picture of aflicted as well.

Hoodoo Healing

One of the best ways to help someone is by a simple prayer. Orthodox  Christian  people have so many beautiful healing prayers and Saints devoted to healing. In Conjure it commonly petitioned are Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandes , Saint Teresa , Saint Dymphna ( especially for mental conditions ). Our Mother of Perpetual help , than petitions to Manopoderosa and alike.
Dress a seven day candle ( Blue or white , blue-white combinations works very well ) with healing oil and pray each day for seven days for health of the affected. Underneath the candle place the picture of the person or petitioners paper where the name of the party is written in centre and surrounded by word health written in square and also diagonals of the square , crossing the name.Candle can be sprinkled with dust made of Allheal or Selfheal, or some commercial Healing powder. Angelica   root could be used too.
Infusion of Allheal or Selfheal is often sprinkled , or sprayed  in the afflicted person's room , or throughoout the house to make the person heal better and faster and protect other members from dissease [1]

Voodoo Hoodoo healing doll baby spell ( by me )

1.Make a poppet to represent the sick person
2. Stuff it with any or combination of the following : Sage, Eucalyptus leaves , Lemon Balm, Master of the Woods , Echinacea ( Sampson Snake root ) , Rosemary , Mint , Thyme, Angelica, Altahea, Flax seeds, Godlenseal root threads
3.Consecrate and/or Baptize the poppet, add personal belongings, If You have some, or attach a photo,  or name paper to the poppet.  some people add “heart” or rose quartz or copal
4. Dress the affected part of the doll with healing oil.
5. Pin 3-7 white head needles or pins , previously dipped into Healing oil , into area of sickness on the poppet, the “affected part”
6. Read the Psalm passages for healing

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Psalm 26:2
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed. Psalm 6:2
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. Psalm 30:2
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all. Psalm 34:18-19
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit. Psalm 51:10-12
7. Wrap the fabric in blue of white fabric and hold each days saying prayers or words above for healing , until the person is healed.

Balkan folk magick healing spells

Common healing spells in this raw magickal s systems involve incantations , offerings to spirits and petitioning them.
Typical healing spell calls for catching a waning Moon’s reflection in a pan with water, and then adding healing herbs in it. The witch makes Cross signs over the pan with Balkan equivalent to athame called “kustura” , and chants something along the lines :
“ As the Moon shrinks and descends
So shall disease shrink and descend from N.N.’s body
And as the herb heal, and rejuvenate
So shall N.N. heal and rejuvenate…”
The water is then sipped by sick and used to wash face and sprinkle room where they stay.

Now if the disease is too strong it is transferred to stone , plant ( tree ) , animal or in worst case human. This is a very cruel but stunning ly effective procedure , but causes another living being to be sacrificed, as the object of sacrifice literarily becomes new “host” for sickness . I don’t feel confidents or called to elaborate on very procedure here.

Baron and Creole , stop death spell



Baron Cimetiere , another "incarnation"
of Baron Samedi , a member of Guede family

This is similar concept as done in Voodoo and Creole, though less radical , when the Barron Samedi is appeased, offered and petitioned so that he does not dig a grave for certain person. If this Lwa is willing the person will live , if of course they n were treted the right way.

The Barron is offered with cigares , piece of dried bread , whiskey that had hot peppers inside , glasses with one lens poped out ( Baron can see in two worlds ) and alike.


Though this is not a typical healing spell , it is a drastic method of saving someone that is seriously ill , disseased. That is why I decided to add it here :)
