My parents are in the process of looking for a new dog. When I was younger my family would often take in strays. This was fine because ina family of 5 there was always someone home to feed it, walk it, give it love, etc. Now that I am older and I dont live with quite so many people, I understand the importance of putting effort into selecting your pet as opposed to your pet selecting you. I really like animals, and I think sometimes when people are going through hard times having a pet around can help a lot. It is constant companionship, and love when you feel absolutely alone and unlovable.
I am a huge advocate for adopting older dogs. They have a lot of love to give and generally speaking you can avoid the puppy chaos. I liked this article and wanted to share it for anyone considering an addition to their own family.

Hi Guys
As some of you may or may not know, I am currently in school full time as well as working here at Spellmaker. I am currently working towards finally finishing my bachelor's degree, and am up to my neck in midterms and papers and what not. I am going to resume personally blogging in May when the semester is over. In the meantime I have found some interesting articles that I want to share. Enjoy Spring! :)

The Cosmic Voodoo Eggs are a really great product because of their versatility. You keep the egg and work on the ritual over and over. You can buy replacement packs when necessary.
One of the best Cosmic Voodoo Eggs is the Healing egg. This is the only egg that can be done on multiple subjects/people. You can do this egg on yourself, your HD, your dog, and your relationship. Anyone can benefit from this egg. People go through things physical and emotionally. It is part of life. There will be hard times. This egg can help provide healing during physical and emotional distress. It does not take the place of medical care, but it can help the healing along. It is a very powerful tool, and useful product.
The Money Egg is another favorite. It can only be used on one person, but who does not want to bring money into their lives? It is especially useful right now with the economy being hard, and the American dollar being at a new low. Christmas is right around the corner. In poles taken on Black Friday many people have reported spending less than they did last year. And why not? Gas prices are rising, as well as heating costs. The Cosmic Voodoo Money Egg is not going to turn around the nation’s economy, but it can help put a few extra bucks in your pocket!
Another one to consider is the Love Egg. This egg can only be used on one person as well, but most people working on love related situation are focused on one HD anyway. It can be used in conjunction with a few other products. It is one of the very under-used love products that we carry. It can really help, and people who use it love that they can keep it and keep using it.
The Destiny Egg is another one of the less used products. I think a lot of people growing up today do not know what they want to do with their future. We have so many options that for some people it is hard to pin down one. Some of us end up wandering from job to job, finding what we are good at, but not necessarily finding what we love doing. The Cosmic Voodoo Destiny Egg can help with that. It can help you find your niche and your path in life when it becomes elusive.
IF you are unsure about using the eggs please check with your caseworker.

This Christmas, with the economy the way it is right now, I am sure a lot of us are in some kind of financial distress. It is hard to enjoy the season with prices on everything going up, the most necessary being gas. Spellmaker has some options to help bring money into your life over the next month.
They are:
The Big Money Spell kit
The Lots a Luck Spell kit
Green Image Candles (female and male)

Wood burning stoves are a really common heating source here in New Mexico. I have never lived with one before, and I have to admit, I love it! Ours heats the house really well, and it is pleasant to be around. Since it is very dry in the winter we keep a kettle on ours to act as an old fashioned humidifier.
A friend recommended that we try a few drops of lavender oil in the kettle to help us sleep. CH and I did try it and both loved it. We found that it makes the whole house smell wonderful, and makes us both calm and more ready for sleep.
When we ran out of oil I forgot to get more. One night last winter while I was making dinner CH was making the fire. I smelled a very familiar smell but could not place it. I asked him if he knew what it was and he sheepishly confessed to using something he found in the Voodoo drawer. (YES, I have a Voodoo drawer) All of my labels have either been removed of fallen off, but he put the Bedroom Bordeaux Potion into the kettle. We both really liked the smell. Now we alternate between the Bedroom Bordaux, Big Bank Roll, and Samantha’s Spiritual Anointing oil. They all smell wonderful, and have good effects.
Another affect of the desert is dry skin. I go through a bottle of lotion a month. Winter is a little worse, but really it is dang dry all year round. I tried putting the potion in the bath, but forgot it was in there and laid down in the water. I got the potion in my hair, which I had not intended to do. If you have dry hair then its great and acts like a very strong conditioner. But if you do not have dry hair then it makes your hair greasy. I am the latter, and I decided I would rather use the Sweet Feelings bath crystals in the bath.
My next solution was lotions. I got an unscented cheapish lotion from the grocery store and once I had used ¼ of the bottle I mixed in some potion. CH calls it my Potion Lotion and after accidentally using the Love 999-ed lotion once, he wrote that across the bottle to avoid such a mishap. Nothing crazy happened, he just didn’t like the smell on himself. He likes it on me, but he it was a little too perfume-y for him to be wearing. The one he compliments me the most on is the Velvet Man Trap. I highly recommend trying out the lotion option this winter.
Here is another kind of strange use for the oils that is not printed on the instructions.
The desert is really hard on certain things. One of those things is the dashboard of a car. If you do not put a window cover up during the summer your dashboard will age quicker, and potentially crack.
When I went to get gas on my lunch break one day, I realized I needed some Armorall for the dashboard. However, the gas station store was sold out. I went back to work, frustrated about it. I had my mind set on doing this, and felt vexed. While stomping around the office being mad at the convenience store, an idea occurred to me.
My car is just a car. Its not my baby, and its not a $40,000 SUV or anything. It’s a used 2002 sedan that gets me from point A to point B and has been very reliable so far. If your car is your baby, then I am sure you have a special regimen, or you get it detailed once every 6 months, so you probably do not want to try this. However, if you are like me and are willing to try new things to your car, then I recommend this to you.
I bought myself a bottle of Abre Camino oil and dumped it on my dashboard. I wiped it liberally over my dashboard. While doing it I asked Papa Alegba to help open roads for me in general. Now I honestly cant say that it helped with traffic because I have never been stuck in traffic here. I know some people have, but I live fairly close to work, and I don’t have much cause to drive on the highway. Also I don’t know cars very well. I don’t know if this is detrimental to my dashboard, or what Armorall has that Abre Camino oil does not have. But do know that I love the smell of my car. I never use air fresheners because I just put new Abre Camino oil on about every two months. You can also do this with the potions.
