The "Good-Enough" Marriage????

Happy almost Friday, everyone! ;-)
Okay, so I am sure the title of this post has you wondering what the HECK Mambo is up to with that title? LOL. Well,it isn't exactly my title. ;-)

There is an article that I want you to read and tell me what you think! Some of you can guess what I think, especially if you have had a consultation with me and you told me that your marriage and/or relationship was "okay." You know what my answer was to that, but let's not spoil the fun for everyone else. Hahahahahaha.

Anyway, I would like to know what you think of the concepts presented in this article. You can join in our discussion by simply clicking on the "Comments" link under this article and typing in your comments. You can come back to this article and click on that link again to join in further discussion as more people comment. You can comment on comments! I only ask that everyone respect everyone else's opinion, even if it differs.

When I saw this article I just wondered how many people out there of marrying/relationship age, especially if you happen to be a little bit older and waiting for Prince Charming or Mr. Right or Mr. Soulmate, would agree with this article. Or do you disagree, and why? Or is there no easy answer? ;-)

Let me know what you think!

Gearing up for Papa Alegba Ritual #2!

Hello everyone!

Sorry to not have been blogging this last week or so. We have been taking a lot of time to work with the Papa Alegba ritual and get everyone's petitions heard! :-) Hopefully it will be helping a lot of you out really soon.

We are, of course, now gearing up for the next big ritual day, which will be on St. Lazarus's feast day, June 21, 2009. If you have not gotten your petitions in and still want to participate, you certainly can! Just visit the page at www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm and follow the links to send in your special letter to Papa Alegba.

Since this particular feast day has to do with honoring also St. Lazarus, it is a great time to ask for something to be "resurrected" - whether it a love affair, a job, peace of mind, anything that you have felt is dead and gone! Now is a really good time to ask for that thing to be infused with new life.

I would also encourage you to honor St. Lazarus himself at this time. Remember, these Catholic saints have been used for many years now to represent a particular lwa. However, of course, the Saint him or herself is still a viable entity prayed to by millions every day. Therefore, honoring the Saint at this time is certainy a great thing to do. :-)

St. Lazarus, as most of you know, was a man said to be resurrected and cured by Jesus Christ. Lazarus was a leper and said to have died of his disease but because of Jesus's fondness for him and his sisters, he was resurrected and cured of his disease. Whether you believe the biblical tale or not is inconsequential. If you are going to honor Papa on this day because it is St. Lazarus's feast day, it is always a good idea to honor dear St. Lazarus himself.

There are Catholic prayers to St. Lazarus that you can find on the internet and incorporate into your ritual. You may also want to print out on of the holy pictures you can find of him - he is almost always depicted with dogs which is why he is often used for representing Papa. ;-)

Can't wait to do this ritual, too!

Love,

Papa Legba Oil and the Red Mummy!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
We have started Papa Alegba month! :-) As most of you know by now, of course, we are dedicating the whole month to Papa here at www.spellmaker.com! If you haven't checked out his page and the information on how to get in on the free rituals, please do so at www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm.

As I have mentioned in many posts and teachings, Papa is a great communicator with the ability to speak and translate all languages and dialects. He can open many doors, including those doors of communication that are so important to all of us in all of our relationships.

Of course, we also have the Famous Red Mummy candle magick kit that we use for communication. ;-) Now while it, naturally, comes with its own special bottle of oil, you can certainly also use some of the Papa's Gatekey™ Oil on those red mummies, too! What better way to boost that communication than with Papa's oil. It isn't called "Gatekey" for NO reason! ;-) And since communication is the "key" to all relationships, certainly you can see the correlation there!

So for those of you who have asked about putting this oil on your Red Mummy candles, the answer is absolutely yes! Oil that mummy up! It also certainly would not hurt to burn some of Papa's Open Door™ incense with it, either!

Love, light, and peace,

Re-opening the Forum!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Happily, we will be re-opening our forum here in the next couple of days. I was going to wait until I was finished with our Spellmaker Community Pages, but we are excited to get the forum re-opened and we don't want to wait much longer! :-)

My darling daughter, Sister Bridget has been working on the reformatting and re-creation of the forum so that it will be a happy, healthy, and productive place!

The new forum will not be a place for crying, whining, and telling everyone how bad one's life is! We found that to be extremely counterproductive and while it may have made a few people feel better to get those kinds of things off their chest, it ended up making more people unhappy until it just turned into a ball of negative energy. So, instead, we are making the forum a place of happy updates, tips and suggestions for keeping positive, uplifting quotes and stories, and teaching information about magick, voodoo, the lwa, saints, and angels, and more! :-)

My other darling daughter, Sister Candelaria, as well as Sister Bridget, will still have their corners in the forum. Schweety's Feng Shui corner will still be there! Spellmaker office news and all the information about the lwa that Schweety was kind enough to upload for us will still be there! Plus, there will be lots of new categories. :-)

It is our intention for the Spellmaker Spirits forum to be a place of learning, peace, and happiness. It will remain a moderated forum and posts will have to be approved.(Mostly we do that because so many people troll the internet looking for places to post porno and Viagra links! So to keep the forum for the purpose for which it was intended, we will moderate posts.)

I am really looking forward to opening the forum back up! See you there in a few days!

Love, light, and peace,
