I'm an ocean baby, folklore dork and recovering alcoholic. Also the proud owner of a crazy rough collie who is the light of my life. I've been lurking around for a bit and am finally gonna start dipping a toe in, though neither oil I'm getting seems to be traditional hoodoo.
Part of the Alcoholics Anonymous practice is to develop a morning spiritual practice, so I thought that since Ganesha has always been a very positive and joyful energy in my life, I'd dress a candle in his oil and burn it while meditating or chanting his mantra. I've been lucky enough to have a broad religious education, but I must say that Lord Ganesha is one of the few I trust completely to lead me where I need to be. Even if I seem to be lead through a rougher patch I can trust that there is a positive outcome when he is leading me.
The other is the Sun Oil. I am aware of the cast off evil products and of their work, but after tromping through the forums, I feel even more attracted to the properties of Sun Oil. In the past, and during my drinking phase especially, I was always motivated by fear and anxiety. Thank God, that has in the vast majority passed, but now I am left with learning how to become motivated in their absences. From what I've read of Sun Oil, it's has a wonderful motivating energy. Also, I know I always feel like a better after being in the actual Sun for a while, so, yeah. I'm planning on dressing a candle with Sun oil to burn when I do (dreaded ;D) chores, and for anointing myself when I need that extra vitality. Is there any prayers or psalms that you guys have found work well with Sun oil?
Any comments or ideas are super welcome, though I must warn I tend to like to keep things as simple as possible, or I start over thinking and tangle myself up.
Thank you all very much!
