Disposal of Ritual Remains Questions and Answers

miraclesnlove · Unread post by **miraclesnlove** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 10:27 pm

Hi everybody, i was burning a yellow candle Sunday night, and prayed over it and all. But my little toddler stays in my bedroom where I was burning the candle on an altar space. He was asleep when I dozed off, and when I woke up the candle was burned half way down the middle and the wick was melted within the wax. When seeing this I asked him was he over there around this space, and he said mommy I blowed it out. After looking at the way the candle was, I don't want to further use it. So I am wondering is it a certain way I need to dispose of this wax and the rest of the candle or do I just simply throw it in the garbage. Ok, so let me know the recommending on this, thanks in advance.

Disposal of a candle and abandonment of the spell is somewhat an individual choice, but a choice that occurs within a framework of traditional and culturally agreed-upon norms.

You did not say what form the candle was, nor the intention of the spell, nor whether the child who blew it out was somehow involved in the spell-work (that is,named in it or potentially affected by it)-- but those factors should also be taken into consideration as potential "signs" when considering this question.

Leaving all of that aside, however, the usual techniques of disposal would apply.

A spell that is abandoned is often treated like trash and put in the garbage.

Many people would advocate that you should remelt the wax into new candles which you would use to carry the work onward, or to save money.

Some would bury the remains appropriately.

Some would dispose of the candle in a crossroads or in running water and consider the roads closed.

Some would dispose of the candle in a crossroads or in running water and perform extra rites at the crossroads to re-open any closed roads.

Some would perform -- or have a professional seer perform -- a quick ten-minute reading (a three-card cut or a pendulum divination) on the matter before proceeding.

All of these are traditional and valid ways to work.

Go back and read some of the thoughts on disposal of candle remains posted earlier in this thread (you are on page 20 of the thread!) and also read the basis of the ideas for disposal of spell-casting remains in general on this "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" page at my web site:

http://luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html

I know, you wanted a yes-no answer, and i'm not giving you one -- and i seem to be inviting you to go into detail about what kind of spell you cast -- but i'm not. My actual mission here is to teach you the entire socio-cultural structure of hoodoo, rootwork, and conjure.

Hi, i had a reading, i have had several readings. I recently had one from a reader and not that i was looking for that person to tell me what i want to hear i just wanted to hear what i Needed to hear. Well they wasnt telling me anything at all. Just a waste of 40 bucks. The last reader didnt give me any advice on what to do to help my situation some, and i thought getting advice/pointers was ok to do.

i need success in getting a job and getting through school so i took it upon myself to burn a yellow candle for success for me, the child wasnt included in the spell. He is a toddler and We share the same room because We Are staying with family due to hardtimes. I Will definitely do my research and i take hoodoo seriously. im not here to waste anyones time and space. I have been praying daily for help and to be left to some one who is good in aiding me through some of life challenges thats all.

I order products from L M. and from readers, but its all good. Thanks for the feedback, but why cackle madly and exit stage left? just asking.

I know u said u didnt really care to know, but from your post it seems like i wasnt as detailed as i need to be in my original post. Yall Have a good day.

I've been working with my conjure bags, doll baby, and honey jar for months since May. Nothing happened,then just out of curiosity tried contacting my target and he changed his email address and phone number. This was my ex and he had said we needed a break but wasn't dumping me (yeah right). Called to see if we could talk and make a decision but he already did and was a coward. My answer came from not being able to contact him so now I want to get rid of these items. Are the rules for disposal still what is on the LM page or should I do anything special? Thanks for your help in advance, and I plan in getting Cut and Clear (I do have the oil already at least).

I wasn't sure were to put these questions but

I was wondering what if you have no access to the person's door step that you are trying to get love from? what would be other options to that? could it be the door step of where he works?

and the bath water I have to sprinkle, is it the same one as the one I took a bath with the first day of the spell?

thanks for your time in advance

Which spell kit or spell are you talking about? I don't know of a Lucky Mojo three candle love spell with a bath. Are you using a spell kit?

Sprinkling the water on your target's work doorstep is fine; just call out his name while you do it: "John Smith, you will come to me now for love and romance."

Good luck,

bluebutterfly12 · Unread post by **bluebutterfly12** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 4:16 am

thank you Mary Bee

The spell is under LMs free love spell section,where they also have the loadstone spell.

I read that the first candle is burned during sunrise the first 3 days,then the second candle,at noon for 3 days, then the third at sunset for 3 days.

I am new to hoodoo, but the timing has to be that specific? how does one who works get to do the spell?...lol

Any suggestions would be great,and thank you again

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:27 am

For that specific spell, yes the timing is that specific.
Suggestions? Well, if you have a 3 day weekend coming up perhaps you can plan your working in such a way that you can do the burnings at noon during the 3 days that you have free.
Otherwise, if you can't find a way to perform the burnings at those times, then that spell won't work for you. Period.

However, there are hundreds of other love-drawing works available to you, and you should be more than able to find one that works with your schedule!

Thanks Devi, I do have a 5 day weekend. I have one more question though

I was wondering if I need to see him the next day after the ritual is done or do I just have to
Sprinkle the bath water at his place of work? And that it's ok that I see him another time ?
Also the bath water I use, would it be the same bath water that I use from the first day
When I took a bath in the beginning of the ritual ? Sorry I have more, do I need any personal concerns ?
Or would a picture of him work ? And if a picture is good enough, do I just put it directly under the candle? And what do
I do with it afterwards?
Thank you so much for your time

A picture is a form of personal concern. Weak, but I have used them in honey jars and have been successful. Semen is best, hair better, then down the line. You can go to this link http://www.luckymojo.com/spells/tools.html if you only have a picture, put his full name and date of birth on the back of it. I like to add a petition to mine. "So and so you love me" something like that.

Since I am not sure what spell you are referring to, I can't really say anything about the rest. Do you have a link? Also, have you started a honey jar on him? It is a bit less complex and has no timing issues associated with it. Great for beginners and while it is slow, it is definitely effective.

Hey LM,Questions

1.I had my 13 herb bath (one packet) around 2 to 3 am ,ounce I finished I collected some in a cup with the left over herbs,I'm confused as in when to dispose and which direction to dispose since it's a bath to cleanse me or evil jinx,crossed conditions etc. Do I dispose at sun set close to evening and dispose towards west? I have the cup in my kitchen until I read the answer.

2.I took some of the used bath water and sprinkled throughout my home rather then spray,is this ok?

I feel great after the bath and now will sleep well it's 4:30am and I haven't slept, my birthday was yesterday Oct 30:D

1. You can dispose of bath water in the year or in the crossroad towards east at sunrise...

The 5 spells are different but was done all for one goal and target, I wanted to place the remains under my bed instead of burying them, cause I would like to have access to some of the ritual remains in case I wanted to redo the same spell at a later time, or cause I need to feed them.

I recently performed a crucible of courage/road opener/crown of success spell for someone to gain courage to do something and for the road blocks to be removed, and was wondering where one might dispose of the spell remains in this case?

I thought a cross roads would be appropriate, as this is my typical method of disposal. However I know different types of work require different methods of disposal. hotfooting in running water, breakup work in a graveyard, etc.

Am I correct in this assumption that a crossroads is a good place or is there a more appropriate method for this?

I apologize if this has been touched upon in a different thread.

Since this spell has a road opening component, I think the crossroads burial is more than appropriate.

I'm not sure what the instructions may say, but *large* trees off your property are generally suitable for disposal. I've probably taken more things to trees than crossroads in my day for such things, but what's best IMO depends on the nature of what you're doing as a whole in your ritual. So, if you're following someone else's instructions, but are unfamiliar with this work, it's best to stick to all of the instructions.

Small trees are more susceptible to dying, and this is why you should pick a large sturdy one away from your home.

Know that, even though both may be suitable for disposal, the natures of these two places/methods are different.

My question is does the same "take to the crossroads disposal" rule apply to all baths? For instance, I know that the "drawing" baths: Love, Money, Success ect. and ridding yourself of something, Uncrossing, Cast Off Evil ect. require taking the water to the crossroads but what about baths like Crucible of Courage, Power, Master ect. which are neutral (not neccessarily "drawing" or "ridding" yourself of anything; at least in my opinion). Do you still have to take the water to the crossroads with these? Thanks in advance.

Unread post by **Mary Bee** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 7:46 am

Yes, you can take all baths to the crossroads. Doing so disperses the energy of your intentions to the 4 directions, making the intentions manifest in the world. However, you can throw a bath like Stay With Me or Come To Me in your back yard ( to get your love to stay at home) or front yard (to draw a new lover to your door). But you'd be safe with disposing of any water at the crossroads.

I know there have been a lot of messages about disposal of reversal candles, but I have one more.
I burned two candles- one black over red and one double action green and black. I put each candle on a small new mirror. The black-over-red burned creepy. It created a red figure that looked like someone who is praying on one side and the black wax peeled and rolled back like a piece of torn wall paper, right next to the red figure. I wrapped the mirror with the black/red candle remains in an aluminum foil and broke with the hammer.

The black and green candle burned clean, but the black wax melted and painted over green wax. At the end, there was a green rim with a black veil below the burned candle. Some of the black wax was also on the mirror. I did the same thing as with the black/red candle.
Now the issue is disposing them. I drove around the neighborhood like a coo-coo bird looking for crossroads, but how do you bury something when you can be caught doing that? And there are no fast rivers around. If I do it at night, i have to take my 2 years daughter with me, which does not work either.
Can I bury the mirror/candle remains in the remote corner or my property or it will bring the bad luck back?

Unread post by **Mary Bee** » Wed Jan 02, 2013 2:47 pm

You'd have to get a reading to see what the signs in the candle wax meant for sure, but the red one sounds like someone is praying to bring down your work. Other signs in candle wax are found here:

http://luckymojo.com/candlemagicdivination.html

There has to be a crossroads somewhere in your town. An intersection is a crossroads. Drive to an intersection late at night, bring the child with you. Park the car and quickly walk to the corner where there's some dirt; bury the remains there, turn back to your car and drive away without looking back.

Good luck,
Mary Bee

With the Money Drawing Spell Kit, it says to throw it at a crossroads and not look back. Is this a crossroads that I'm not allowed to come back to? Because all the ones where I live I use often. If so, what would be a good substitute? Would throwing it in the front yard work just as well?

Of course you can go back to the crossroads. If using a given crossroads to dispose of something barred you from going back, most hoodoo's would be home bound. I would avoid the crossroads you used for that day.

Thanks. I just wondered because I've read that the purpose of the crossroads is to disperse it among passerbys, so I thought maybe it would be a bad idea to "pick up" whatever you washed off.

For this type of spell (drawing something positive), would it make a difference if I threw it in my front yard instead?

Should I bury the glass (glass-encased), wax (votives) and petition paper after every candle has burned out? I'm doing healing work for my father and I thought I would finally bury it all when he comes home. Or is the very act of burying wax/glass very important in finalizing the work? I assume for healing spells I should bury remains in our backyard, or should it be the front yard? What about matches? I have been throwing the matches away.

I'm gonna have to find some blue cloth....

I've never had any second thoughts about disposal in the river because a huge one originates in my town and runs all the way across the country and out to sea. It's perfect.

But tonight, after I dropped a small tied cloth of honey jar remains, I had the thought of what if it washed up and somehow, someone, managed to read the names written in ink? (I had pushed an herb into the jar Iater felt deeply I should have left out, so I thanked the days it had worked for me and went to release it, intending to make another properly.) I usually pay attention to these feelings, especially when they are uncharacteristic, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a thing or if I'm just needing a cleansing.

Is there any additional work I can do to ask for it to keep on trucking out of town?

Thanks so much,

I should add that my town is not very big and the shore of the river is used throughout the warm seasons for sports and swimming.

1) What should I do with the remaining candle and the love oil if I decide not to reburn it?

Unread post by **Doctor Hob** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 11:58 pm

Well, the question becomes why did you decide not to continue the burn? If you've changed your mind, and no longer want to do the work, you can dispose of the candle at a crossroads, or in running water, to help dissipate what's been started.

If it succeded before the work was done, then you can wrap it in a piece of red cloth and bury it in your back yard, or in a potted plant, if you are a city dweller and lack a yard.

Unless you just don't want to keep it around,for some reason, you can just hang onto the oil.

Now, if I failed to see the reason for your question, then I'll need a bit more data, in order to offer a satisfactory answer.

I have just completed burning 2 LM vigil candles for love and protection work on my relationship and am about to dispose of the remains.

The work I did was to strengthen and protect an already good relationship from some meddlers (who aren't a huge problem, but they need to be shut out) - I did have a reading, and burning those candles was among their recommendations.

The candle burning was very positive, so now I get to disposal, and because I want to fix the influence, I was going to mix up a little of each of the candle remains (herb leftover in the glass) with some related powders, sprinkle that in the corners of his room, and put the other half the remains in the appropriate petition papers, fold and tape the papers up and fix those under the bed to create a quincunx. I am choosing his room because the meddlesome people come from his "side", we spend more time at his place than mine and we live in different cities, fixing the work in his area makes sense.

I've read a ton of cats writings including real magick, laying tricks, candle magic, I've read several other authors and historical references on hoodoo, and I've read a lot on the forum...so I'm very good at reading...but new at doing, so I just wanted to see if this sounded appropriate to the more experienced rootworkers here or if I've missed something.

Thank you!

Hi, forgive me if this is the wrong place, or if this is redundant. (I'm new).

I live in a large apartment building with a small courtyard but with no way to secretly bury anything in it, and this is a certainty!

With spells that require you bury the remains of either the candle or the ritual work in your front yard, and you have no front yard to work with, nor access to a private front stoop, or even any ground at all, what do you do, how can you properly dispose of the ritual items and used candles?
The only earth I have access to near my home is a very large public historic cemetery, and possibly a tiny patch of public garden on a pathway in my community which contains some small trees and shrubs to block a view, which is 3-4 city blocks from my home, directly to the east.
Thank you.

Also if the burial is called for in the back yard, please give alternatives to this as well.

Thank you for your attention!

Luckbewithme876,

Yes, many people dispose of bathwater in the home yard. The practice dates back to the days of bathing outdoors in portable galvanized metal tubs.

Hello again!

I've been practising for a few months and I've discovered I'm what may be considered as "lady hearted". I enjoy love, healing and protection work. I have however had to resort to enemy work which I don't like doing as when I did I was aware of a presence in my house at night time and I didn't like it at all. I don't like the idea of interfering with unknown spirits.

Anyway, when I did do my enemy work (vinegar jars and dolls) my idea of ritual disposal was to throw it in the trash cos that's how little I think of the people involved. It puts a smile on my face knowing there's a voodoo doll with their pic and concerns sitting on a stinking rotting pile of crap being eaten by maggots rats and vultures.

I kno its not traditional but do you think it could still work? I think I'm getting signs that its still working but because those losers tell a lot of lies I'm not sure what to believe coming from them anymore.

PrincessTumbles --

I've had success disposing of things in the garbage, in similar circumstances. I will normally find a stinky, anonymous dumpster, somewhere, and drop things off with a few choice swear words. It falls into the same category as "toilet burial", I think.

If you're not sure of your results, get a reading, if you're not equipped to divine on it, yourself.
