I have read the paper that came with it, but still don't really know what to do with it. Sorry to bother, but could someone please guide me.
The fast luck bottled sprll arrived yesterday. Do I just carry the bottle in my pocket for luck? It says write the command and then write my name 9 times crossing over the command. Do I write the command on paper and then cross it with my name 9 times vertically and then put the paper in the bottle and burn the candle? Do I put the candle inside the bottle and burn it?

So sorry for these easy questions, I just really confused, first time doing any of this.

While Lucky Mojo botle spells are small enough to carry in a pocket or purse if desired, most folks keep them on their altar or in a special, safe place. For the petition paper, you write your command, and then rotate the paper 90 degrees, and write your name 9 times (9 lines of writing) across your command. The paper then is folded (towards you for drawing desired things toward you or away from you to drive unwanted things away), and placed in the bottle. The neck of the bottle is about the perfect size to hold a small candle (Hannukah candles work well, as do some birthday candles or other smaller offeratory candles)--the candle should go all the way inside the bottle, just be firnly held in the neck of the bottle (like mounting a taper candle in the neck of a wine bottle).

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

Would be a miracle if this works. I never experienced any magic or supernatural before. I have a rabbit's foot and it doesn't work at all for some reason. I guess it wasn't killed in a cemetary on Friday the 13th.

After I burned the candle and used it, can I use it a second time for a different command?

Hi GuardianFlash

GuardianFlash wrote: After I burned the candle and used it, can I use it a second time for a different command?

Generally speaking, bottle spells are worked for a specific command over time--so you would burn multiple candles over the course of days/weeks/months until your aim (as specified on the petition paper) was achieved. If you wished to use the bottle for a different job, you could remove the old paper, re-dress the bottle, and write a new petition, etc. but you would effectively be ending your work on the first petition in the process.

Hope this helps!

About that Rabbit's foot. I'm not sure how you prepared the foot but try anointing it with Van Van oil and reciting the 23rd Psalm over it while concentrating on what you want it to help you with.

Hello, I want to share what is a "trick" that a friend of Santo Domingo has taught me.

Attract a person, or be so loved that he left us, returns.

Take a piece of paper and write the name of the person, set above the glue and petals of a flower is white.

On another sheet, write your full name, glue with cumin seeds.

Ask the sheets-of-sight, with two names inside and sewing the edges with the green wire .

Get a jar of earth, set in the previous package created of papers, and put together in it the bulb of a flower. Cover everything with the earth.

Every day, before going to bed, water with a little water to the jar (a couple of spoons are more than enough) and speak three times in his name and again three times yours.

If the plants are born and continue to live, is positive. (To my experience this has always been that the plants were born).

If the person you want to attract you meet at work, you better take this jar and wet them every day, at the end of the workday.

Byeee.

Hi there,
You actually don't want the candle to go all the way inside of the bottle, you want it to sit on the bottle mouth's rim, so it sounds like your set up is just fine.

Will you only be adding the bottle spells or the spell kits also, I noticed that there is no spell kit for DUME and several other items... Do you just order the items one by one and get an instruction page as is sent with other spells?

That's very similar to some of the contained spells we use in hoodoo, but we use honey to stick the names toigether, inside a hollowed out red apple, which is put into a pot. The plants go on top, aqnd as they grow, their roots reach down into the honey, bringing sweetness up.

I just recieved my first two bottle spells today from LM and they. are. fabulous. They're very attractive. Now, the question I have is that you're supposed to put the candle in the neck of bottle and light it. The thing is is that the candle is too slender for the neck of the bottle, and it falls straight through into the bottle so that only the top 1/4 of it or so is showing. My first instinct would be to find some way to wedge the candle in the neck of the bottle (I have saved wax onhand from a joy spell I did, and that purpose compliments this purpose of this bottle, so it'd work as a wedge) and then burn it, but what would -you- guys do?

I don't get this question, because the candles that come with the bottle spell fit into the bottle. You need the 4' candles for the bottles. If you don't have those, get Hannuka candles (they fit) or slightly larger candles and shave them down.

Would it help to clarify things if I were to take a picture of what I am trying to describe and post it? Are the candles supposed to literally fit inside the bottle, then? The candle is indeed 4" long, but the bottle itself (without cap) is only 3".

I was under the impression that the base of the candle was supposed to wedge into the neck of the bottle - not fall through - so that the candle could be burned. If the candle were used as-is the way things are, the top 1" would burn well but it would probably fall over and cease burning once the flame made it inside the bottle (that, and I would be concerned the heat would crack the thin bottle glass not designed to take it, and/or the heat would mar the paint.)

Hi Silverpony,
I think I understand what you are saying--the candle should fit snugly into the diameter of the bottle's rim but it is a little on the thin side and is falling through the bottle. You are right, I wouldn't burn the candle in the bottle--the heat might have an adverse effect on the bottle itself. I recommend that you do the following: get a small candleholder that fits the 4 inch candle--LMC sells pretty brass star-shaped ones. Just get one that can be placed ontop of the bottle's neck and burn your candle. That way it is still on top of the bottle, if there is a lot of running wax it will still run over the bottle, you haven't messed with the set up of the spell, you have just added a little candleholder. You could even used a piece of tin foil, a shell, or a piece of fire proof glass or ceramic for this too.

take care,
Bri

"More effective" is not a term used by most practitioners.

I'd do BOTH of those things.

We look for signs in three days, for movement in three weeks, and for results in three months -- or the spell is deemed to not have worked. If you see no signs and no movement, you can persist in the spell for three months, but any longer would not be recommended by me.

Salt is frequently used to get rid of someone, purify a space, etc. You would need to ask your aunt how to do the spell "correctly" since it is something she told you about in the first place. If it were be, I would add banishing herbs and minerals to the salt, write out my petition, and anoint both it and the photo with an appropriate oil or combination of oils.

I know that spell and actually mentioned it on the forum a few days ago. I give it some extra power by burying it in the graveyard. You can use a bottle or a plastic baggy. You take a photo of the target and put it in a baggy with salt. You hide the photo in a dark place where you can forget about it. This spell works great.

It is a simple spell as is. Again, you take a photo, some sea salt, and you put it all in a bag. You can use a bottle if you like, but I was taught to use a bag, and you put it somewhere where you will forget about it. That is the spell entirely.

I like to finish this spell off by burying it in the graveyard, but that is NOT a requirement. It is something that I like to do to complete spells of this nature.

Stop Gossip would encourage the person to stop talking about you, it sounds like the salt bottle spell is to get them out of your life completely.

I just thought I would ask if anyone has done something similar or experienced something similar. Quite recently I fixed a love spell of the fellow of my interest's photo in a bottle of my urine, topped off with some appropriate oil. I've been shaking it to work the spell. However, I've been noticing that often, after doing the shaking, I feel kind of an odd sensation in my bladder (almost like the feeling of having to pee.) I am curious if this means anything, magically speaking.

sebastian_lvx · Unread post by **sebastian_lvx** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 11:21 am

Sounds like "something" definitely was going on - hopefully it didn't get too out of control. Since the type of magic you were doing was definitely of the sympathetic/contagious kind, it seems to reason that using your own personal concerns would have linked your sphere of sensation (etheric body, if you will) to the act of shaking the bottle resulting in the sensation of "having to pee".

When's a good day to start on the fast luck bottle for money?

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 5:52 pm

I would choose Wednesday, which is related to Mercury which is fast. Some people say Thursday/Jupiter for money, but Jupiter is slower-acting and is related to growing assets, rather than gaining new ones.

Personally I would also wait until the moon was waxing and set it working during Mercury hour on Wendesday to get the maximum effect.

Wednesday is good because it is the day to work with St. Expedite, patron of Fast Luck! Thursday is related to wealth because it is ruled by Jupiter. Friday is also considered a good day for working money matters in traditional Hoodoo because many folks get paid on Friday.

I think everything necessary for the bottle spells are included...but u are welcomed to add. When to start ??? Most of LMs websites (for spell kits) will tell you if the need is not urgent, start at the appropriate moon cycle...for prosperity would be waxing and the moon is waxing until October 4th.

Hey wait a minute do you have the empty bottle or fixed bottle... LM sells both. But since you had a question about the candle, I am taking for granted you have the fixed...

Hello, all! I thought I'd post a quick note about my experience with the easiest and one of the most effective spells I've worked in ages. Basically, you buy a bottle of LM oil (depending on what you need, you can mix them, add herbs, etc) add hairs (easier to obtain and get into the tiny bottles) and a petition paper (love, luck, whatever you like) roll everything up tight, tuck it in the bottle of oil, and you can carry it with you and shake to interact with it. I did this on my parents to give them a bit more love and affection in their lives and it seemed to work pretty well, as well as a mini protection bottle, which I keep between my mattress and box spring. (I've done this for everyone in my house

)

I just thought I'd share this with all of you, because I've noticed that occasionally we tend to over-complicate certain kinds of conjure, (bottle, honey jar, and vinegar jar most especially) and this is just a testimony to how simple spells can be effective and incredibly useful.

moonshadow2 · Unread post by **moonshadow2** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 5:04 pm

Interesting topic! Up-dates would be most useful to compare notes to or learn from. To me ... keeping notes on ALL my magical workings is a MUST ... as was previously mentioned. It is helpful whether the spell worked or not ... and may give clues as to why it didn't work, or it did but not in the way I intended/hoped it would ... or the results were whimpy or a knock-out success. With these notes/details I can usually find ways to
add/delete something in the wording, intent, procedure or attitude.

The notebook has been most helpful because after the work is done ... as the "feedback/info" comes in ... it usually will make sense or give clues as to what each thought/action meant at the time.

I have never interferred with a burning candle once it has been lit. I make sure it is in a safe place before lighting it and that it is placed somewhere where I won't have to move it for any reason. I do not want the "work" to be tampered with or altered in anyway or for any reason since I want to get the ultimate successful results. The only time I have messed with a burning
candle was if there was any possibility of causing a FIRE. Ugh.

Yes, there are times when there is too much oil or the wick is too long or too short or not centered ... but I let the candle work completely on its own
- allowing the magical work of the "maker" and the universe to allow the
work to unfold the way it should (when unhampered).

I have had "black" items show up in some candle magic ... and felt that the candle/items had located their "target" and letting me know that something had
been grabbed and locked into a shape (ball/bean/?) and was now being destroyed by fire. This also tells me that whoever made the candle did a fantastic job!

On occassion I have had too much oil/wax in the glass - so I scooped some out and re-added it to the candle in a day or so when there is "room" to do so.

Sometimes you do not get "vital" feedback for weeks/months down the road ...
but when you do it usually makes sense.

Keep posting your up-dates ... that's how we all learn.

To answer the questions about the petition papers, depending upon whether I'm combining oils (in which case I'll use a small, different bottle, usually about 2" tall, sometimes with the targets picture on it, or with a few smaller herbs) I may use a petition paper that's 4 square inches, fold it in half, and roll it to fit. In this case I'll be more likely to use the petition format as detailed in the honey jar page. (Using the circle and crossing the names, etc. I can write really small if I have to.

) My alternative to this is simply writing both of our names, and one or two words* underneath. If I'm doing a breakup or separation bottle I would write the names of the intended on two separate pieces of paper and stuff them in using a rusty nail. Don't be afraid to poke holes, it adds to the spell. If the nail will fit, shove that in there too, so they'll keep getting stabbed throughout the spell. I've even got teenie tiny little pins for this purpose.

(Tiny breakup bottles are great because when you're done working them you can deploy them with minimal visibility. They're easier to bury/hide than bigger ones, and if you chose to break them in your target's path, the oil sticks to their shoes/property easier.)

* these words can be anything from "love me" to "come back" to "don't forget," pretty much any short, effective command.

Depending on how fancy I'm feeling, I may seal the bottles with wax like the kind you use to create wax seals, then put the bottles in little bags, the color depending upon the intent of the spell. This keeps them from interacting with each other if they're stored near one another. (I try not to do that, though, because I feel like they'll compete with one another... if that makes sense.)

I've often used these kinds of spells to strengthen work that I'm already doing, such as honey jars, vigil candles, or daily prayer.

Anyway, good luck everyone! I'd love to hear how these kinds of spells have worked for others!
