If you're working on yourself or on improving your own life, a mojo bag can be activated quickly.

If you're working on someone else, a "fixed" gift, a vigil light burning constantly in a safe place, or the assistance of a professional rootworker might help.

Hi maverick96,

If your job doesn't allow for a 7-day spell, why don't you consider working with Mojo Hands or doing 3 day spells? Lucky Mojo has a vast selection of really amazing hands, regular or triple strength. There are also bottle spells and honey jars that can be worked at intervals and would thus be suited to your situation. If a spell calls for 7 days of work at the same time everyday, or for 7 consecutive days, there just isn't a ''substitute'' or ''bending of the rules'' that can get around that. Simply choose another kind of spell or work it as a 3-day spell instead knowing that you're not doing the spell kit as prescribed.

For the working at night part, it mostly comes down to personal preferences. Many Root Doctors actually prefer the morning. Some change the time of day depending on the work they're doing. Others don't care about time of day but simply check the hands of the clock. Others time astrologically. If you would like to read more about this, the following threads may be of interest for you:

The above advice pretty much covers everything. Miss Michaele mentioned working with a professional, and this is the ultimate option if you find that your schedule simply won't allow for complex spell work. You can check the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers for a list of ethical, professional workers:

http://readersandrootworkers.org

If you're doing work for yourself, I'd second (or third, I guess) using a mojo hand.

Good Luck.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've tried using a professional for other things & found that I just didn't get the same results as when I did it myself. I guess, when it's something as personal as what I'm doing, I need to feel connected to the work & I never feel that way when I have someone else do it for me. Also, I don't think a mojo hand will be the best option, since it's negative work on someone else. I know I'm being kinda vague, but I've read on here so often that it's best not to talk about you're work before, or while, you're doing it so that others' thoughts/energy don't effect it. Anyway, thanks so much for your responses & advice. I guess I'll just have to take some leave to accomplish this particular work.

I wouldn't do candle rituals in any place that wasn't fire-safe -- low-hanging flammable decorations or blowing curtains, etc.

Some folks, if they're going to be out of the home or asleep, like to put their candles in a pan in the bathtub; the pan being full of salt, sand or CLEAN kitty litter.

DON'T fill it with water, because a glass-encased candle will crack or break when the hot flame burns down to the level of the cold water.

I read this morning that there will be a number of disturbing shifts in Mercury, Uranus, etc during July that could lead to conflicts on a number of fronts. I am one sensitive Sagittarian I've found. The last month or so has been a ride!

Anyone with recommendations on how to maintain work and keep life changes on track during those times? I was thinking vigil candles at MISC as a start.

Thanks!

I can't address working with Uranus and the other non-traditional planets as they don't factor into my beliefs. I do have a couple spells for dealing with retrogrades and the like. Tho you should be aware that retrogrades are hardly the most horrid thing the heavenly body's can do, they just get a lot of press in modern astrology. Anyways I'll use Mercury Retrograde as an example.

You will need:

One 9 inch jumbo candle of the color appropriate to the planet (for Mercury, orange).
One bottle of oil made for the planet (for Mercury, that would be Mercury Oil).
Incense of the planet (for Mercury, that would be Mercury Incense Powders).
Paper.
Ink or ink-pen the same color as the candle (for Mercury, orange).

On the day and hour of the planet light the incense. Take the candle and carve the sign of the planet into the wax and a phrase like "Bless me with your gifts of lord Mercury and withhold from me all infirmities." That's just an example, any heartfelt request to be protected from the negative aspect or retrograde will work.

Next take the paper and pen and draw the seal of the planet on it, the seals are a lot more complicated then the usual symbol of the planet but are very powerful. You may want to draw the seal ahead of time so you can practice and have a nice one to use for the spell. Dress the paper with the oil and pass it through the incense smoke while praying for what you want.

Place the paper under the candle holder and light the candle. Spend a little time in prayer for what you want. You can either let the candle burn down in one go or pinch it out and relight it the next Wednesday at Mercury hour.

When the candle is burnt out dispose of it and the incense ashes in a crossroads. You can dispose of the paper then as well or carry it as a Mercurial talisman.

I hope that helps

On this thread, much has been emphasized about never STARTING a spell during a solar or lunar eclipse, but no information that I can see is given about what someone should do about CONTINUING an ongoing (for several days, or weeks) spell that someone is already in the midst of doing.

You then went on to posit a number of questions based around the premise, "If one should indeed skip the ongoing spellwork for the one day of the eclipse."

But nobody ever said that. Nobody i know ever skips a day of already-started work on the day of an Eclipse. I have never heard of such a thing, and can only shrug my shoulders at the idea that this has been inserted into some very traditional ways of working.

There is a huge difference between NOT STARTING something and SKIPPING A DAY.

Like, for instance, let's say that your custom is never to buy a kitten on a Sunday because in your church, on a Sunday, it is not good to buy and sell or engage in commerce. (This is not a made-up example, by the way -- there are a number of Christian churches that hold this belief.)

So you don't START kitten-ownership until the next day, Monday.

After you get the kitten home, you feed it every day. This is your continuous work with and for the kitten.

At the end of the week, Sunday comes around.

Do you SKIP feeding the kitten because it is Sunday? NO, you do not! The little kitten would cry! You continue to FEED the kitten every day, because the prohibition was only against BUYING a kitten, and thus STARTING kitten-ownership, on a Sunday.

That's how it is with eclipses, in the tradition that i was personally taught. You do not START new work on the day of a solar or lunar eclipse, but you never SKIP a day on a spell once you have started it, even if there is an eclipse.

I hope this little mental image of the hungry kitten helps you understand the difference between STARTING something and KEEPING IT GOING.

Good luck to you.

Your Birth Star Influences and What They Mean, by Stanley Barrett

This 1940 popular occult classic teaches the beginner basics of Sun Sign Astrology, but even experienced astrologers love it because it is illustrated by the famous art deco artist and sculptor Lee Lawrie, who often used zodiacal motifs in his works of public art. At a time when many women hid their gender under a male pseudonym, the accomplished author, Gail C. Blakey, chose to be known as "Stanley Barrett." The original and rare first edition of this oversized introduction to popular astrology was published in a limited pallet of spot-colours and has been given a brand-new and gloriously full-colour treatment by the editor and restorationist Deacon Millett. A "coffee table astrology book" before such books even existed, "Your Birth Star Influences" is both a contemporary teaching manual and a brilliant example of mid-20th-century book styling.

I have a rather urgent reconciliation issue that needs to be addressed this week. I have missed out on the Monday start day and was wondering if Wednesday was a suitable day to start a reconciliation honey jar with pink candles (I know Fridays are best). I know that honey jars can be slow to start but the quicker I can get this going the better (I am traveling on Friday and I'm hoping to start the cycle of positive energy for my destination). Also - is it okay to begin a reconciliation honey jar during the waning moon? And lastly, I only have a piece of worn clothing from the person, no hair, is that a suitable alternative? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Rookie2conjure,

You have a couple of choices during the waning moon, either work to banish obstacles to the results you want (by doing Cast Off Evil, Road Opener and/or Banishing work) or work by hours of the clock or days of the week for drawing (info on doing that is found in the following threads: spell-timing-planetary-influences-days- ... t1429.html & spell-timing-time-of-day-or-night,-cloc ... 11842.html) since not all workers take moon phases into account for their work.

I would like to make a mojo bag for my sister. The "recipe" I am following has the bag being assembled on a Saturday, either waxing or full moon. I wanted to take advantage of the Blue Moon in August but the full moon is actually happening Friday morning, so by Saturday it would technically be waning. The Farmer's Almanac still has it at 99%. Is that close enough to being full or should I wait for the next full moon or period when it is waxing?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Aug 20, 2012 7:31 pm

That is entirely up to you.

Many people work by exact times, according to an almanac, and this has been common in conjure since the late 19th century, after the end of slavery, when access to almanacs became generally common all across the USA, among people of virtually every ethnic culture.

Other people work by visual sighting only, and this has been common since earlier times.

Saturday relates to Saturn and is generally a day for enemy work and death work. Saturn has his good side too, though, and is called upon for help with diseases of, and injuries to, the bones, with aging, and with situations requiring patience.

The full moon is generally considered a transitional time between waxing and waning. Some work up to the full moon but not on it; others work on it but not past it.

The blue moon is a good time to do work for things that would only happen "once in a blue moon"; in other words, results that would seem improbable or less likely to occur, such as financial windfalls, meeting one's soulmate, etc.

Hello,

I purchased a Van Van spell kit that I really want to being. I had it for about 3 months. I opened it to read the instructions, but did not open or use any of the supplies yet. The only thing that is preventing me from starting the spell kit is timing. It says to being on a Friday, when the moon is waxing. However, I've been dealing with some matters in my personal life that have kept me from doing the van van kit. I missed that last waxing Friday moon of September, and would have to wait about 3 weeks to begin the spell . I want to begin this spell As Soon As Possible because I'm in a dead end job that I need to get out of and have been suffering from bad luck for years in the career/job search department. Can I begin the Van Van kit during any moon phase on any day? Will that affect how successful the kit will be? I have other spells I want to begin such as Steady Work and Money Drawing kits, but I'm under the impression that I have to do the Van Van first to clear my way so that the other spell kits can work more effectively.

I agree with j82-Conjure is a tradition where we do the work as needed-that means in an emergency situation you do what you need to do. With that said, planetary & lunar timing can really augment the work you are doing. Starting on a Friday for instance even if the moon is not in the right phase is preferable to say, starting it on a Tuesday. Starting at dawn as the sun is rising on a Friday can give even more power to the working-so while you can get it started when you need to, you may also find a way to time it well even if its not "perfect."

Hello all! As I am new the board, it took me awhile to figure out where to post this.

I wanted to know when would be the best time to do a break up spell. I was considering doing on on tomorrow's (todays) New Moon and my concern was getting it done before the retrograde and yes, the dreaded eclipse on the 13th of November. I wanted to know if anyone thought that the work might be affected by the these transits? I chose to do this around this time because the persons birthday is at the end of the month and I figured it might be a good idea to increase its affect.

I also wanted to know if the New Moon or the Full Moon might be better to separation work?

Thank you so much for your fast response! I really appreciate this forum and plan to look up more of your products. I am very new to spell workings but I do currently work with tarot and I am also a clairvoyant. In the past I might have gone to someone to do this for me (never have but would have) but I have come to understand that I am much more powerful than I originally believed and so for me, this is all new learning.

Please forgive my ignorance as I just want to be precise. In one of the links you gave the information presented the waning moon as the best time for this kind of spell. Would that then make a FULL MOON the best day to do such a spell? I've read that FMs are one of the most powerful days for spells and so if this can help, then I'd rather work with that as in the days that follow the moon would begin to diminish. Would it also be safe to do a LOVE SPELL to draw in love on that same day (same person)? If so then I will postpone this work until the 29th, the last FM before the retrograde and eclipse.

Also, starting a break up spell under a New Moon, might it prove more beneficial in that the waxing of the moon might bring the spell into a stronger manifestation as it grows bigger? Just a thought, you seem so informed and I'd really love to hear your opinion on something like this.

I like to work with the moon because of the astrological connection it specifically has to me. I was born under the moon three times, Sun sign, Rising sign, and a rare Moon Sign as well. This has branded me from birth with extreme empathy (overwhelming at times) but I figure if it influences my being that much, it would be good for me to work with which is why I haven't given much thought to the days of the week. Getting into this type of work for me has been a journey and I never thought I would be working with this kind of higher power, it seems though it was some kind of calling.

Well

Hi Rocky21,

there are a number of ways of working and days of the week is just one of them. For work-related issues there are a few different days that can suit depending on the angle you're working. Saturday is good if you're seeking justice for having been treated badly - if you just want to generally improve work relationships, Wednesday is good for communications and travel-related jobs while Thursday is great for improving your conditions, pay and respect.

Hello

I have grown up with ancient Egyptian and other teachings but I am fairly new to the practice of Hoodoo.
Please could you advise in Hoodoo is it recommended to work along side the moon phases?
For exsample I have always been taught that rituals for drawing things to me,like love,money,blessings and etc are best done on the full moon or when the moon is waxing. Banishing and removal of things for the wanning moon and new beggings for the new moon. We are advised not to do love or money drawing rituals during the wanning moon as it will draw those things away from us.I understand that there are many different types of spiritual work and many things that we can work with such as astrological days,hours,planetry alinement and etc. It seems very different in Hoodoo, Please advise?

I have often wondered the normal protocol of beginning work during the end of a waxing moon (say with 2-3 days left in the cycle) for drawing work which will coincide with the work ending during the waning moon. I want to start candle work on Thursday, which will only give me a few days before the moon is waning, so the work will finish during the waning moon. How does this affect the drawing work?

Thanks!!

Days of the week and phases of the moon do not always synch up. Choose which is more important to you. Personally, I find days of the week easier, and they don't require as long a wait to do work. Of course, not everyone works with various timing methods, just working when there is a need.

Is there any best day off the week for uncrossing or jinx removing?

I was wondering if anyone reccomends a certain moon schedule to do a crossing? I wanted to do one for a coworker but wasn't sure when the best time would be?

thanks

Hi snakepliskin83. I moved your post to an already existing topic on Spell-Timing: Moon Phases, Moon Signs, Moon void of Course. I encourage you to read through the previous pages for the answer to your question. Best of luck.

I would say, none of them on there own. But you could do a reading to see what three days are right for you or cast an astrological chart to find an ideal set of dates or time it to your period or to the days in the calender that are lucky for you based on any one of a number of systems. You see it is not as tho the three days at the end or in the middle are inherently better than any other three.

I read online about mercury on retrograde going on these days for 2013 so I thought I would check on this forum and went to this link but could not find the answer to my question. What if you start a work before the MR and then it happens? Does the work slow down and gain momentum once the MR is over?
Specific to love work!

If you were doing some kind of multiple day work, such as a series of baths, and one of those days was entirely in the void period, would you do that part of the work anyway -- or take a hiatus and wait until the next time the moon is not void? Just curious...thanks!

In this post it was said that love work should be done before noon and negative work from 6PM-12AM.
But it was said in many places that skull candles, even red ones, and other influence type of work should be done at night when the person's defenses are down.
So this either means do it after 12AM i.e after midnight or that you should just go with your gut.
Cat also mentioned that in te practical aspect of the spells....to do spell immediately in certain cases...without thinking too much about the timing or moon phases or Mer retro etc, etc.
because something or other will always be there specially from a planetary aspect...something or the other will always be void, or retro or squared.
I am saying this as a person who understand astrology and have been frustrated monitoring times and periods and sub-periods.
