Re: Graveyard Dirt Questions and Answers

A few thoughts I'd like to add here. I like to think I have pretty decent communication skills with my own animals --right now just one cat-- and not too bad with others' cats and dogs. Cats communicate a lot with their whiskers. It provides a lot of expression for them. They also receive a great de...

Re: Spells for Blessing and Cleansing the Home and Person

I've read and understand about washing from top down, back to front, but I've wondered about when the home is generally entered from the back? The front faces the street and provides the address, but the alley is where everyone parks and enters. US Mail is the only delivery that comes to the front d...

Sulphur Questions and Answers

As a kid, my mom would have me sprinkle sulphur around my ankles and waistband of my pants to keep the chiggers away when we were gardening. It caused no irritations. Sulphur is also an ingredient in some older soaps for acne. So, I would think you should have no problems for bathing with it, though...

Re: Altars: Questions and Answers

If I'm going to do a compelling spell, should I place that on an alter all its own? You don't have to. You may want the assistance of whatever deity or deities and/or ancestors you work with and maintain images of on your altar to assist you with the work. In that case, having the spell on that alt...

Re: Pull-Out Candle

Thank you, nagasiva, for all the additional information from your experience with encasements and pull-outs. I've not had experience with vigil candles before and only have just recently added one to my altar where I used to use a pillar. I like that I can leave this one burning without close attend...

Re: Reverse Revenge or Crossing Against Ex-Spouse or Ex-Lover

Jessica, I'd like to clarify what I meant by "morality". My reading and study about magical herbalism from the last several years has always had karmic law and Wiccan "an it harm none" type prohibitions attached to it. Even as a newcomer I know that hoodoo doesn't have such constraints, so that is w...

Re: Altars: Questions and Answers

For me it's candles and incense.

I have a main altar in my living room.

There is an altar supporting my marriage in a shadowbox over my bed.

My husband has an altar on the window sill next to his desk.

Re: Pull-Out Candle

I love cerumancy. :-D I've gotten interesting messages that way, even when it's not the intention of the burn.

Not sure I want it so much for what I was thinking for this one. I have a few brass plate holders and have even used them to burn incense.

Thanks for the info.

Pull-Out Candle Questions and Answers

Could the pull-out candle be used as a stand-alone pillar candle? I rather like the idea of something a little wider in diameter than the 1 1/2" altar candle, but if the wax isn't appropriate for use outside of the glass, I guess it's not a good idea.

To start from a strictly non-magical viewpoint of the textiles, flannel is cotton while chamois is a leather product. Both are very absorbent and soft so both accept dressing oils well and would be soft worn/carried on the body. As a leather product, properly cared for it may resist decay and wear m...

Hello-- In general, there are 2 major indoor options for the remains of spells you want to keep around: 1) Designate a container (mason jar, envelope, small box, etc) for positive spell remains and put it somewhere where it is inconspicuous and unlikely to be moved.

Hello, nice to meet you. Having just recently used the services of a doula (just over a year ago) and being a self-learning student of rootwork, I can see wonderful ways that the wisdom of rootdoctoring can round out a doula's services. Best wishes with that.

Valentine's Day has a special meaning for my husband and I as the approximate conception date of our daughter.
