Lucky Mojo Forum

[Apo]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the proper place inside the forum to post this or even if its proper to post it at all. i just thought it would be helpful to add more on the tradition of this spirit and how its used in other parts of the world, since LM sells its oil.

The legend says Anima sola was a woman named "Celestine", she was a water bearer that refused to give water to Jesus during his crucifixion and gave water to the other two thieves, there for she was cursed to serve others for eternity due to her unkindness.

It's a very miraculous spirit, granting a wide variety of favors to those who ask, specially when it comes to harming others. Some say that the one that works with her power, ends up alone.

She's also one of those spirits who you don't want to anger or miss out on her proper payment, tormented souls have little restrain on making others suffer. The usual offering is light (candles or lamp) for a few days. You could use Lucky Mojo's Anima Sola oil for the lamp or just add it to her candles.

You can either ask her to help you on your work, or just pray to her and have her do it all on her own, just be clear and remember to pay her.

This is the prayer to Anima Sola.

Hear, mortal, the lament of the imprisoned soul, alone, sad,
Abandoned in this obscure dwelling.
My soul, soul of peace and of war,
Soul of sea and land,
I desire that all that I have as lost or absent
Is returned to me or appears.
O Soul, the most abandoned and alone of all of purgatory!
I accompany you in your grief,
Having pity on seeing you suffer and moan
In the abandonment of this harsh and long imprisonment,
And I desire to lessen your pain;
I offer you all my meritorious works,
And all that I have suffered, suffer, and will suffer in this life
So that you can pay for your sins before God,
And achieve His grace hoping that you will do me the great favor
That he give to my understanding the light necessary
So that I may obey His Holy Law
Loving Him above all things as my one and only good,
And my neighbor as myself,
Because by that I will merit his Divine Majesty and infinite mercy:
My salvation.
Amen.

The Anima Sola candle is red. The prayer books in spanish also advise doing a prayer to one's guardian angel right after using the anima sola. This is the first time I heard of the story of the woman who refused to give water to Jesus. All I know is that the AS was a soul waiting in purgatory (perhaps good works can help it get to heaven quicker?) . One book on Puerto Rican spiritual traditions says that the AS was used to protect houses from thieves while the occupants were away.

When you say work with her powers ends up alone? will the person be alone at end? Please advise. thanks

I believe (and if I'm wrong someone please correct me) the Roman Catholic Doxology is also the Glory Be, which is: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. It's not 5 Doxologies but one said 5 times.

Thank you.

I would like to hear from someone who has actually worked with this spirit and can tell me what they used it for, how it worked out, etc. For some reason, I find Anima Sola very intriquing.

[mojoman]

A friend of mine worked on this candle. She said that she used it for a couple months. It made her feel lonely and depress and also the person she was trying to get back with. She did not know that she had to repay anima sola for her work. One night she was in her bedroom with the windows closed and her bedroom door open and all of a sudden her bedroom door closed and there was a black shadow in front of her.

[suzyparker]

Wow.. that's what I wanted to hear.. I guess you need to pay Anima Sola or suffer the consequences. Sorry your friend was depressed and that the spell didn't work.

The Anima Sola is a detail of the vision of Our lady of Mount Carmel who releases souls from Purgatory on Saturday if they died wearing a brown scapular. The belief in Purgatory, the veneration of Our lady of Mount Carmel, the wearing of the brown scapular for early release from Purgatory under the hands of Our lady of Mount carmel, and thus belief in the Anima Sola are wide-spread in Catholic folk religion, but, as with all religious beliefs, you would do best to learn the tradition directly from a pracitioner of the Catholic religion and not through an internet forum dealing with folk magic. In other words, working with the Anima Sola is not a form of "spell-craft," but rather part and parcel of a much larger religio-magical structure, called the Roman Catholic religion, and you can't just go in and pick-and-choose some piece of that religion without understanding it.

I have a question about the brown scapular... do you have to wear it at the moment of your death or can you request to be buried in it?

You have to be wearing it when you die.

[mojoman]

Where can I get one of those brown scapular?

[HailDiscordia]

I believe LuckyMojo sells them.

[mojoman]

Thank you

By Roman Catholic tradition, one needs to be formally invested with the brown scapular by a priest, and to gain it's benefits (release from purgatory) you have to adhere to the requirements of the Carmelite Order. The brown scapular is symbolic of the vestments that a member of the holy order would wear, and so to properly wear the brown scapular you must basically join the Carmelite order in a lay capacity. Receiving it's benefits requires saying certain prayers on certain days for certain reasons, and living by a particular ethical-code/ideal. Just wearing one without partaking in the formal requirements will not, officially, confer any benefit.

Other scapulars, such as the green scapular, CAN provide its benefits to anyone, as long as the scapular is blessed by a priest, and someone says a short prayer on behalf of the wearer each day (you can say the prayer for yourself). I think the green scapular prayer is "Dear Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pray for Me (or name of the wearer you are praying for) Now and At The Hour of My Death". The green scapular is known for providing miracle healings, among other things.

Someone with more experience with Catholic traditions may have more to add.

I had made another post where i wrote that i had some jewelry stolen from me from an ex boyfriend. This was over a period of time and didn't actually notice anything was missing until after it was over. I went to the police and filed a police report. They said that i can go to the different pawn shops and the police will hold the items until we can prove that the jewelry is ours. However, thats the problem... some of the pieces were very old and i didn't wear often. I don't have any good pictures of the items.

Someone on here has mentioned working with Anima Sola, perhaps she can guilt my ex into admitting to it all. And that she is very good at returning stolen items. However, the same person wrote that if she is not properly served, I could lose my job or residency. So, i would like to know what i need to do exactly in order to work with her and to also know what she needs in return.

Pray to her and offer her something, for example you can offer her candle light for a number of days. She will only hurt you if you don't pay up and fail to keep your part of the arrangement. Theres also saint Anthony and Saint Aparicio, they both bring back what has been lost.
