Be the light!

Be the beacon of light that everyone knows and loves.  Let the negative thoughts go for just today, and try it again tomorrow.
 
Be happy, God has given you wonderful people in your life.  You all have great friends and family who love you unconditionally.  They listen to you, they hug you, they hand you a tissue or a piece of toilet paper - whichever is more handy.  They also make you laugh and laugh with you.
 
Your friends and family cheer you on, they celebrate the victories with you and they catch you when you fall. 
 
Do the same and be the same for them, they are so worth it.  Be their light!
 
If you are in need of peace and happiness, try some white candle magic www.spellmaker.com and also The Milk of Damballah White Bath will work wonders.
 
Love to All, Xo Khouzhan Ann

 

Questions on Learning

Today I’m thinking about the various types of learning we have available to us these days. Besides the old-school classrooms and books, now we have tutorials on Youtube, online conferences, and the ability to travel to different places to try something new. A lot of learning is for fun, such as a new hobby or a sport, and sometimes it’s something we will not have the opportunity to do afterward.

So what do we get out of these lessons? Some of it is simply getting away from our own comfort zone. We can gain confidence, and sometimes humility. Basic skills, such as manual dexterity and balance, can carry over into other things we do.

Often these things that we learn take practice to master. One thing that is easy to practice, anywhere, is spirituality. Some things we learn in Voodoo are very inexpensive to do, such as having a chat with the Lwa. And yet that is practice, a way to strengthen the relationship with them, and it gets easier the more you do so.

If you read through the posts on this blog, and those of Mambo Sam and the family (you’ll see the links on the left side), you will find oodles of information on Voodoo and ways to practice.

What are you going to try today?

Gris-Gris Bags

Most people have at least heard of gris-gris (grē-grē) bags though movies, documentaries, the Internet, etc…. However, they may not know exactly what they are. These talismans originated in Africa and made their way to the United State with the African slaves. They are common in New Orleans Voodoo. They are used to assist in love, money, luck, protection and various other positive influences in our lives. Spellmaker gris-gris bags are consecrated and hand made by Mambo Sam. They are filled with herbs and powders. Included is also a candle and chant for you to use in activating the gris-gris bag for your personal use. Today millions of people carry them as good luck charms so it’s a good idea you to get yours. ;-)  Check them out here: www.spellmaker.com/satchmo.htm#BAGS

Peace & Love,

What a difference a day makes!!!

We all have really bad days, some of them are concerning our love lives some of them work related, some of them family and health. 

I speak from experience, and I feel your pain.  Instead of crying and drinking a bottle of wine, I stayed calm and had one glass of wine, as we all know a day can make a difference.  So, I set up a candle for Erzulie Freda, my Met Tet and spoke to her and filled her in my really bad day, even though she already knew, it felt good to tell her. 

I also asked to sleep safely and soundly.  At that moment, I was so, so glad I had developed that relationship with my Met Tet.  I did sleep soundly the next day was so much better. 

If you haven’t had a Met Tet reading with Mambo, be sure to book one soon www.spellmaker.com.  It is completely worth knowing who your Met Tet is.  It is also very interesting to find out how much of your personality and traits are similar to your Met Tet.

Summer Reading

This week’s blog is inspired by War on the Rocks: 

“Looking to crack open a novel at the beach this summer? Look no further than this list. Our contributors offer their favorite fiction about war, foreign affairs, and intrigue.”

The interesting thing about their list (and other books mentioned in the comments) is that they reflect so many faces of war: battles, but also the impact on families at home. Strategies and conflicts can be found in historical fiction or fantasy. Spy novels and mysteries are part of it, too.

All of these things are aspects of General Ogoun, the warrior Lwa. When I’m reading a well-written battle scene, I can feel his presence. With the current conflicts going on in the world, it can seem kind of wrong to read books that celebrate war. Wars have been a part of the human condition since ever, and we can gain insight from authors who have lived through it. Negotiation and diplomacy are also important to know, hopefully to avoid wars in the future. 

Meanwhile this peacenik enjoys being an armchair warrior through a good book.

Don’t forget the ritual to Ogoun, on Thursday July 31st!

Haitian Fencing

This story was on several news outlets the other day — a Haitian man has been teaching martial arts with machetes, and a documentary is in the works about it. Search on "Haitian Fencing" to find out more. The main page was having some difficulties, so keep trying.

What an interesting and powerful way to serve Ogoun! The movie poster image above shows the instructor, “Papa Machete,” superimposed with the vever of Ogoun Badagris. I like the other vever, below, as well. I had not seen that one before, so perhaps it’s a symbol for the school itself. I like the machetes and the diagonal symmetry of the design.

And how perfect for this to be in the news the same month as our ritual to Ogoun! Please join us Thursday, July 31st at 9 pm Eastern Time (8 pm Central, 7 pm Mountain, 6 pm Pacific).

Free Online Ritual in Honor of Ogoun on Thursday, July 31st at 9 PM ET

The Spellmaker family is doing an online ritual to Ogoun Feraille on Thursday, July 31st at 9 PM ET! The ritual will include songs and multimedia to honor Ogoun Feraille! 

About Ogoun:

Ogoun Feraille is known for helping us overcome adversity and bring about change in difficult or “hopeless” cases. Because Ogoun Feraille is a warrior, we call upon him to bring power, strength, and courage to our minds. We also call on him when we need an ally to overcome greed, dishonesty, or other tribulations that we may be facing.

Ogoun’s feast day in Haiti is July 25th. On this day, rituals and services are done throughout the country to honor Ogoun and to thank him for any help he may have given those who asked for his assistance. You can read more about Ogoun here: http://www.spellmaker.com/ogoun.htm

How to Join the Ritual:

Here’s all the information on how to join the ritual: http://www.spellmaker.com/prayer.htm

Ogoun for the Summer

Summer and General Ogoun go together! 

- He is hot, the heat of a furnace, which is what the weather can be like. This past weekend was actually mild, but there is always a heat wave coming up soon. 

- His feast day is July 25th

- The fireworks of the Fourth of July definitely remind me of Ogoun, and his colors are red and blue!

- Butterflies are one of his symbols, and there are lots of butterflies around in the summer.

Please check out Spellmaker’s page on General Ogoun for more information. There are also some wonderful products you can use to honor him. The Iron Sword oil is one of my favorites!

And right now, Spellmaker is having a hot summer sale!
