More on Love Poems and Petitions

Hello everyone!  Happy Monday.  :-)  In looking over some more love poetry on the internet, I found this poem below.  Now, this one goes along with the idea from yesterday's post about "I Miss You" and petitioning with the idea that we miss someone.   So if you can't or don't feel like writing your own poetry to use in your adjunct work (work you do with love dolls, candles,, etc.) then look for poems that fit what you are trying to do.

For instance, this poem below is about wishing to be with someone. I think it is perfect to use with spell work aimed towards someone you are not with or not with very much but want to be!

Additionally, there is something very powerful about a poem like this one. The word "wish" is extremely powerful and reminds the person that you are working on that you have a strong spiritual desire to be with them. Just the very word "wish" has its own magickal properties! :-)

I love this poem below for spell work!  It is very powerful and I think very heartfelt by the person who wrote it.  You can just FEEL that this person wants to be there very strongly!

Love,light, and peace,

I Wish I Was There
By Jesse Shawano 

I wish I was there,
To kiss you Goodnight.
I wish I was there,
To hold you so tight.
I wish I was there,
To gaze into your face.
And wonder why angels,
Have come to this place.

I wish I was there,
To talk all night long.
Or sit in the presence,
Of the one that I love.
I wish I was there,
To tell you I care.
I wish I was there,
To tell you,
"You captured my heart"
And "You'll always be there."

I Miss You!

Hello everyone!
Happy Sunday! I hope each and every one of you does something lovely for yourself today.

So what about, "I miss you!" I was looking over some correspondence from an old friend yesterday and throughout it, she kept saying, "I miss you!" It made me think, does anyone ever say that when they are petitioning for someone to return to them? Just plain old, "I miss you."

When I was re-reading some of these old letters, I realized that I really got a little pang in my heart as my friend repeated that she missed me. I missed her, too. Even though I already realized it, her verbalization of it made me realize it even more.

I certainly believe that if you are using something such as a love doll, which makes for a direct link to the person you are working on, telling them that you miss them, you miss their touch, you miss the times when you_______________(whatever you want to say), has the potential for having a great impact on them!

First off, everyone wants to feel as if they are missed when they are away. Even if you have no contact with your love (or maybe especially if you have no contact with your love), reminding them that you MISS them, you miss your time together, you miss his/her voice, etc., just has to have positive effect on them. Second, I think this is something we might often forget to say. We get so wrapped up in doing love spell work and sending and receiving love energy, that something as simple as, "I miss you" might elude us. ;-)

So try it! For those of you whom I haven't seen in awhile - I miss you! Never forget that! I really, truly do. I wish we were together more often. :-)

Love, light, and peace,

Love Poems as Petitions

Hello everyone! I hope your weekend is going great! A lot of times I hear from clients that they feel like they are running out of things to say during their petitions; that perhaps they are just saying things by rote and they seem to have lost their zing!

One thing I encourage people to do is write a nice poem and make that their petition. But not everyone is a poet! :-) That is okay, a quick search on the internet for "love poems" will yield you a treasure trove of good (and some not so good) love poems.

Back in the days of chat class, we talked a bit about how rhythm and cadence and rhyme exist in almost all spell work. Poetry, of course, falls right into that category! A great number of love poems seem like they were written for spell work! :-) Take this one for instance:
A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

- Sheelagh Lennon -

This poem would be lovely to use with your love doll Or just imagine using this when doing candle magick work, especially if you were doing work with candles representing each of you! Oh or even during something such as a love bath! It would be wonderful.

Even if this poem is not your cup of tea, that is fine. There are tons of them out there or write your own. It is not that the poem is meant to replace regular petitioning, but it could certainly spice up and strengthen it.

As I find more good ones, I will certainly post them here!

Love, light, and peace,

Preparing your petitions

Are You Afraid to Love Completely?

Happy Friday, everyone!
Very often my clients tell me that they are "afraid to love" completely. Now, of course, we all fear being hurt. Many of us will hold back and not give ourselves fully into loving someone at first. We want to wait... we want to see if our feelings are returned. Putting it out there fully and completely is quite scary!

However... and this is a BIG however, if you are doing love spell work and yet you are afraid to give your heart completely then you may be running a very real risk of sabotaging your own spell work!

Think about this: If you are approaching the relationship you are trying to get or fix with fear, holding some of your feelings back, and being afraid that you might get hurt, then what kind of energy are you putting into your spell work? What you put into your spell work is most often what you get out of it. If you are putting fear and holding back your love because you might get hurt, then that is likely what you will get back.

Perfect love spell work must be done in perfect love. Now, spell work doesn't have to be perfect to work for you! Hey, we all make mistakes, and there is a certain level of "accident forgiveness" built into our spell work. However, it is really important to think about how YOU are feeling towards the relationship you are trying to be in. Are you angry? Are you afraid? Are you afraid to truly love that person because you may never get them? What if I told you that you may never get the because you are afraid to truly love them???

There are those among us who feel like it is not worth it to fully love someone. It is too risky. We might get hurt. We might get dumped. We might not get that love returned to us. However, if you are not willing to take the risk then you can never reap the wonderful, incredible, dizzying rewards of truly being in love. The old saying that, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" is just so true.

There is no more powerful emotion than love. If you are not willing to allow yourself to experience it, even if it seems one-sided right now, then you are doing yourself (and your spell work) a terrible disservice.

If you feel that perhaps you have been this person, I would like to suggest that you do something about it! :-) There is no point in getting upset if this has been you. Instead, make yourself the promise to no longer be that person! If you have been deeply afraid or angry or half-hearted in allowing yourself to love the person you want to be in a relationship with, then I am going to suggest that you do something such as Erzulie Freda's Love Bath or perhaps some pink gender candles (in the gender of each of you - you and the person you want to be with) and ask that you allow yourself to feel this love again! Petition that you will not be a blockage to your own feelings of love, that even though right now those feelings might be bittersweet, you will allow yourself to feel them, relish them, wallow in them! THEN start back on your spell work or adjunct work - whatever you are working on right now.

Think of doing something like your love doll with the pulsing ecstasy of love that truly beats in your heart for your special person! Even if you feel like your love is one-sided right now, love is still a positive emotion! Allow yourself to feel it, really feel it, and then go do a love doll session or a candle session.

Trust me, I know that this can be a painful journey sometimes. But don't sabotage it by not allowing yourself to fully commit to the love that you want. Your love is real, so really feel it!

Love, light, and peace,

Working on Communication with Sex Magick

Happy Thursday, everyone!
Of course by now most of you know that we recently launched our new sex magick products. Many of you have let us know of some really great results that you have had in enhancing and encouraging those special intimate relationships in your life! :-)

During a recent consultation with a very dear client, he asked me about using the sex magick products in conjunction with our extremely popular Famous Red Mummy candle kit. I was very excited to guide him that, yes, indeed, these products could be used together quite successfully!!

Now, quite often the Red Mummy is used to "control" a situation and I am not suggesting that you try to sexually control anyone at any time! However, the other usage of the Red Mummy is to help open the path of communication with someone. That is where I felt like my wonderful client had really hit the nail on the head. ;-)

Successful communication with sexual intimacy can be very key in a good relationship. Also, using these products in conjunction with each other to communicate your sexual needs to someone as well as receive communication about their sexual needs is another great use of these products together.

Needless to say, communicating with your partner (or desired partner) in a spiritual way to lead to the intimacy of a true, loving, spiritual and sexual relationship is something very powerful! Remember, when you are doing the sex magick itself, you are calling on the very power of creation. There isn't anything more powerful than that! So when you call in the Red Mummy into the equation of the sex magick, you are now creating an atmosphere of communication, understanding, and nuturing. In this type of atmosphere, a relationship is encouraged to grow and blossom, both sexually and spiritually. It really is the best of two worlds, melding them into one!

Now don't worry if you don't know how to use these products together! That is what your caseworker is for! If you desire to use these particular products in conjunction with each other, please ask your caseworker to help you with how to do this properly. (What? You say you don't have a caseworker?? Now why not? It's fun, it's free, it's fabulous! Just write to [email protected] and request that someone be assigned to help you!)

And as to my dear client who had this idea in the first place: Thank you my friend, you know who you are! Love you!!!!

Love, light, and peace to all,

Happy Earth Day from Mambo Samantha Corfield and Sheer Goddess

Hello everyone!
Happy Earth Day! Since we all live here on this earth, we wish it love and happiness! ;-)

So many of us are learning more and more about recycling and reusing. As some of you have probably noticed, we have made a great effort in the last year or so to reduce our packaging as much as possible. We have begun to re-use boxes for shipping (so if you receive your order in a reused box, that is why).

Another thing is that we are starting to use a lot of recycled newspaper for packing paper. Even though it may not look as pretty as fancy packing paper, we feel a lot better about using it. It helps us keep our costs down, too, which allows us to not have to raise prices and, in some cases, we have been able to lower prices!

Of course, it is a fine line between recycling and reusing, and still giving you a product that looks nice and is secure in its packaging! Since we do all of our business by shipping things, we do have to be sure that it can get where it is going in one piece, so we do have to use some materials to make certain of that! :-)

Do you have a favorite recycling tip? We would love to hear it! Or is there some way you have thought of that we could improve our packaging and still be "earth friendly?" We would love to hear it!!!

Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Samantha Corfield

Tweeting Along! :-)

Hello everyone!
I have noticed that more and more of you are following us on Twitter! :-) Thank you! We are not as popular as that lady who has five million people following her life, hahahahahaha. Guess we are not as interesting as someone who has as much drama in her life as she does. ;-) And of course we are not as popluar as Ashton and Demi, though the comparison to Matt and me is obvious! LOL. (I did laugh this morning when I saw that Ashton Kutcher had "out tweeted" CNN and has reached 1 million "tweets." I did have to wonder if Ashton has gotten so bored with his fame that this is what he has time to do! LOL.)

Anyway, I am guessing that Twitter and tweeting is here to stay. If you are reading this and don't know what the hell Twitter is, no worries, you will. You cannot escape it! Just check out www.twitter.com and check out who you might want to "follow." You can get the updates, called "tweets", either on your phone or by email. I think there are some other ways, too. Of course, we want you to "follow" us! Twitter is free, and maybe a little bit silly, but on the other hand, it does make the world a smaller place and we can reach out to each other in this unique way - you don't ever have to reveal your identity or anything else. You can sign up in complete anonymity! ;-)

Today I started a new series of Tweets called "Lwa Fun Facts." Just little facts about various lwa for fun and learning!

If you want to follow us on Twitter, our URL is www.twitter.com/spellmaker. You do have to sign up for a free Twitter account and choose to follow us. You also will need to choose how you want to receive your tweets from us.

Although I was not overjoyed at yet another social media site, I think this was is ultra easy and fun to use. :-)

Happy Tweeting!

Novitiate Invitations Have Been Sent!

Greetings, everyone!
As some of you already know, invitations to become a Novitiate in the Spellmaker Novitiate program have been sent out.

The Novitiate program is a program here at Spellmaker wherein we begin to teach those who are serious about eventually becoming an Initiated Priest or Priestess within our family line of New Orleans Voodoo.

I am little concerned that some of you may not have received your intended invitation due to email glitches and computer gremlins. If you feel that you should have received an invitation (especially if we have talked about it before) and you have NOT received it, please write to us at [email protected] and let us know so that we can check. There is a good chance that if you were expecting to receive it and did not that it is lost in the land of the who-know-where-the-heck-the-email-goes.

Also, because we thoroughly believe that people are led to us through many different ways, if you are reading this and didn't know about the Novitiate program and are interested, you, too, can write to us and let us know so that we can consider you!

It might be important to know exactly what a Novitiate is and what is expected and what is to be gained. So briefly...

To become a Novitiate with our Family means that you are working towards becoming an initiated family member like Sister Candelaria and Sister Bridget.

The Novitiate program takes at least three years, perhaps more, as each individual progresses on their own. There is no charge for the Novitiate program, but each Novitiate is expected to do some sort of service to the house. It is not meant to be a burden on anyone to be a Novitiate, so service will vary from person to person to include their abilities, available time, etc.

Of course, it is completely confidential. There are rules and regulations and it can be a strict program at some points, however, we think that it is worth it to those who feel the calling to nuture and grow their own spiritual abilities and perhaps eventually help others.

So if you feel like you should have gotten an invitation and didn't, please let us know. If you are just hearing about this and feel like perhaps it is something for you, please let us know that, too, so that we may consider you for inclusion! But you need to let us know as soon as possible as we are eager to get this year's Novitiates started! :-)

Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Samantha Corfield

Good Friday in New Mexico

Hello everyone! I know many of you have heard me speak of the church here in New Mexico, Santuario de Chimayo. This little church, built in the 1800's, sits high in the New Mexico mountains and has been nicknamed "the Lourdes of America" due to the many documented healings that have taken place there.

There is a tradition here of the faithful walking up the mountain to the Santuario from as far as 100 miles away! This happens every Good Friday here in New Mexico with different families along the route of the pilgrimage opening their homes to the faithful who walk. There are also re-enactments of different religious events and lots of volunteers to help those who walk.

I found an article with pictures that I thought you all might enjoy: Click here for article.

Please enjoy!

Love,

Hello everyone! Sister Bridget's blog today is about the Pink Moon! I know a lot of you "old timers" use the Pink Bubble Meditation that I posted last year quite a bit. But I thought that perhaps some of the newer people don't know about it and it seemed like a great day to repost it. I can't think of a better time to do the Pink Bubble Meditation than during the Pink Moon! :-) Happy meditating!

Post Reprint:

Hello everyone!  Have you attempted meditation?  Meditation has been around for centuries and is used for many different manifestations of life:  health, love, anger management, relaxation, etc.  There are literally thousands of ways to meditate and assist in the manifestation of your goals. 

In spell work we are often trying to attain a particular goal:  It may be love, money, a job, etc.  Whatever our reason for doing the spell work, adding in some creative meditations can certainly be a way of assisting your situation.

Over the upcoming weeks, I would like to share with you some of my favorite meditation techniques. I hope you enjoy them!  The meditation technique below, the "Pink Bubble Meditation", is a wonderful meditation to use if you are working with our favorite love lwa, Erzulie Freda or working with pink candle magick or any other love magick.  :-)

Love, Mambo Sam

Pink Bubble Meditation Technique

This meditation is simple and wonderfully effective.
Exercise:

• Sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes and breathe deeply, slowly, and naturally. Gradually relax and feel this meditation taking you deeper and deeper.
• Imagine something that you would like to manifest. Imagine that is already happened.
• Picture it as clearly as possibly in your mind. Now in your mind’s eye surround your fantasy with a pink bubble; put your goal inside the bubble. Pink is the color associated with the heart, and if this color vibrations surrounds whatever you visualize, it bring to you only that which is in perfect affinity with your being.
• The third step is to let go of your bubble and imagine it floating off into the universe, still containing your vision. This symbolizes that you are emotionally ‘letting go” of it.
• Now it’s free to float around the universe, attracting and gathering energy for it’s manifestation.

Our Niece, Need, and Petitioning!

Hello everyone and Happy Birthday, BCM, (you know who you are!),
Several years ago, before Matt and I got married, I met his niece for the first time. She was pretty young then, I think 5 years old. As luck would have it, she had just finished watching an infomercial for The Magic Bullet. I am sure most of you know what that is, but in case you don't, it is a small mixer/food processor type thingy - you know chops, whips, blends, all of that.

Anyway, she was enchanted with this machine and proceeded to tell me all about it, in great detail, and why I NEEDED it. She did not tell me why I should want it, or even how much fun it would be, or anything like that. She explained to me (she is very smart) why I needed it. In fact, she told me several times within the conversation, you need one. Everyone needs one. You need it for your kitchen, etc.

Well, I have a Magic Bullet, thanks in total to her, and use it all the time. LOL. By the time she finished convincing me, I thoroughly believed I needed it. I use it all the time and maybe I didn't actually need but I really enjoy it and am glad I have it.

I was telling this story of why I got the Magic Bullet to someone recently. As I was telling this person it occurred to me that this would be a great way to petition in some love spell cases! Convince them that they NEED you; sell all your good points and how wonderfully fun and beneficial they are. ;-) Petitioning in such a way to tell a person why they need you in their life might, in some cases, be more effective than telling them why they want you in their life. It depends a lot on the kind of person that you are working on!

This might be especially true if the person you are working on is a practical person. The kind of petitioning that reminds them that they need you in their life, just as you need them, might be just the trick!

So next time you are petitioning with your spell kits or adjunct work, "magic bullet" those petitions and let's see what happens!

Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Sam

Using Your Love Doll with Other Products!!!

Hi everyone! Happy April Fools' Day! LOL. Of course none of my clients are "fools" so this is not a day for you. ;-)

As we continue talking about adjunct work, I wanted to cover the usage of your love doll (deluxe or regular) with other products.

The love doll is one of the most effective products that you can use for your love case. Just the love doll itself, even without using it in combination work, is a powerful tool for communicating directly with your HD (Heart's Desire, what we call the person you are working on). The doll becomes a direct pipeline right to your HD's Higher Self.

So of course, when you combine using the doll with other products, that ups the efficacy of BOTH of those products! :-) One of my favorite combinations of work is the love doll with the Cosmic Voodoo™ Healing Egg. In most cases, something needs to either be healed within the relationship you are trying to have or perhaps themselves. When you combine using the Healing Egg with your Love Doll, you are really doubling that healing power.

For instance, if the person you are doing your spell work on has a fear of commitment; that is something that we would consider needs healing. By setting up both your Cosmic Voodoo Egg ritual AND your love doll ritual at the same time, you are bringing the level of power WAY UP THERE!! ;-) Many things in a relationship that you might think would not necessarily be considered something that needs healing actually can respond to healing! What if your HD has a "wandering eye" towards others partners? You can actually work on that with "healing" their desire for others! (Now that kind of healing would definitely call for combination work!)

Is your HD someone you don't seem to be able to depend on? You could use your Egg and Doll combination to work towards "healing" them of being undependable! So the trick is to look at what you might consider negative traits in your HD and consider those as maladies to be healed.

Another great way to use the love doll in combination is with various image candles! Using one image candle to represent you and one image candle to represent your HD, and using that in conjunction with your love doll is great! You could do this red, white, pink, or even green image candles just depending on what you are trying to accomplish! For example: Let's say that you want to mend some heavily negative events that have happened between you and your HD. Setting up your love doll, then using a white image candle for you and a white image candle for your HD, getting everything going, and then petition that all that negativity be removed from BOTH of you and especially then from your HD (using the doll). This is especially useful if you feel like you have perhaps gotten mostly past the negativity but your HD is harboring more than you are. It will help you, but you will be putting more of the energy toward your HD since two of the three products will be aimed at your HD. :-)

Now of course you have all now been introduced to our new sex magick products! Using the sex magick candles with the love doll is a great way to enhance the sexual energy work greatly. If your sex life is flagging or even non-existent with your HD, then using the doll with the sex nmagick will certainly boost things. Also, using this sexual energy in combination with the loving energy of the doll brings the relationship energy to a highly intimate level, right where you want it!

There are, of course, many other ways you could use the love doll in conjunction with our other products! :-) If you are unsure how to do this, please talk to your caseworker. If you have some other ideas of adjunct work, please leave a comment below! I would love to see your ideas, too!

Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Sam
