Astrology: Character Analysis and Spell Timing: Horoscopes, Sun, Moon, Planets, Eclipses, Retrogrades

[kmew1315]

Guided09,

You never know. Depends on how you phrase it. If you go to him telling him insistently that you know he did work on you, but you just want to know what it was, and are very firm in your demands of him, he just might tell you. But you know him better than I do obviously.

This thread is about astrology, though, so if you have questions about astrological spell-timing, that would be what we are here for.

[maduro01]

The first full moon of this year is coming on January 30th. It's said to be the most intense full moon of the entire year. I don't know why.

Is this true? ...and if so, does this have any impact on doing love magic on Friday?

[MysticRootworker]

I will be watching this post...

[theusurper]

me,toooooooooooooooooo

[Turnsteel]

A quick look at where the heavens are on the 30 doesn't show anything interesting happening with the moon really. Its in Leo, opposing Venus, trine the ascendant. Who told you its "the most intense full moon of the entire year" ?

[maduro01]

HailDiscordia,

A friend of mine who has been performing love magic for YEARS said that it will be the largest and closest moon to the earth this year and that it will be an extremely intense passing of power and stars shifting.

[ablake]

Can someone confirm then that on Feb 1 the moon would be waning? Would this be the right time to work an uncrossing spell?

Thank you!

[Turnsteel]

ablake,

Yes its waning. If you need moon phase information LuckyMojo has a page on it. Also you can just Google Moon phase calendar 2010 and that will tell you what the moon is doing at any given day.

[CopperFox]

For those who concern themselves with the retrograde motion of planets as it impacts spellwork, Mars is currently in retrograde. Retrograde Mars warns us to bite our tongues, avoid arguements and acts of aggression... and for those doing love and reconcilation works -- less coercive works are favored during this time.

For additional information about Mars retrograde you may wish to read the following:

http://www.astrologycom.com/marsret.html

Bear in mind that in the hoodoo tradition, the work is done as it needs to be done -- so if you have conjure that needs doing -- Do it! If you have the luxury of planning out your spellwork in advance, taking advantage of astrological activity can complement your work, but need not be considered a "make or break" factor. Truth be told, if one were to take into account every aspect of astrology in regard to finding the "perfect time" to do a spell -- we'd all be in a state of inertia, waiting on that perfect time forever. Far easier is to plan your work according to the phases of the moon and / or the appropriate day. If you have the chance to take advantage of an auspicious astrological aspect -- that's great. Otherwise, don't let it put you off your stride.

Have faith in your conjure and may all your works be well favored in God's eyes!

Michelle

[ablake]

Thanks for the info!!!

[bitter lioness]

So how did this full moon treat anyone?.. )
For me it turned out to be 'The Moon of betrayal': many people close to me showed their ugly face, so our relationships would never be the same again...
On a positive side, that probably was their real face - which makes it "The Filtering Moon' then

[Literarylioness]

bitter lioness,

I was partial to this one since I am a Leo with an Aquarius ascendant and the next new moon will be good for me too, but this past full moon did not phase me. Of course, maybe I am too self-absorbed to notice!

[thegoldman]

I'm confused. I understand doing work with the growing moon, but I'm all tripped up on how to remove problems. I want to do banishing spells to remove obstacles from my life, and I feel really weird about putting my name under a black candle with banishing oil!

To remove obstacles (doubts and negative influences) in my love relationship during the waning moon, should I use a pink candle with reconciliation and road opener love oils on a Saturday/Tuesday or Friday?

Also want to do a candle to banish financial problems and debts. Green candle with LM Money oils? See, I thought these were to attract money.

Am I supposed to add Banishing oils to these candles or just rely on the influence of the waning moon?

[Devi Spring]

Well, not everyone works by the moon or planetary days. So if the moon or days are tripping you up or confusing you, then don't use it. That being said, the waning moon is the lunar time for banishing/diminishing work.

Why are you scared to write a petition to banish something bad from your life on a black candle and burn it with Banishing oil?? Just write WHAT you are banishing on the petition paper, dress the candle with Banishing oil, and then burn it.

If you're really hung up on all this, then just hire a worker to do it for you. Then you don't have to worry about any of it!

[jwmcclin]

I have petitioned using a black candle (to banish), while it may scare the heck out of some people, black candles have a dual purpose: (1) remove/banish negative and (2) revenge/crossing. Its all about the intent and in this case your intent is to remove/banish so keep that in mind when working the spell. Personally, I burn a white candle dressed with blessing oils also as the black candle tends to give a heavy atmosphere.

[catherineyronwode]

Just a thought to those who come here and ask us about claims they have read online like "this will be the most intense full moon of the year" or "this is the bitter-flower-pink-strawberry moon that only happens every ten thousand years." The truth is ....



It's called "clickbait," folks. Clickbait is designed to make you click a link to learn more so you can be served some advertisements that a company paid the clickbaiter to run on their web site with random mystical content.

[Devi Spring]

Oh! Totally forgot about those lovely black-green reversible candles! I so rarely use anything more fancy than a vigil candle that I sometimes overlook all the really neat candle tools that are available out there. That's a fantastic choice for this kind of work. Thanks, starts, for reminding me about them.

[starsinthesky7]

No problem Devi

Also, if a person does not want to put their name under a black candle, and if you have any reservations about that then you probably are very limited in your abilities as a spell caster. I would recommend that you become more educated in hoodoo.


However you could use a white candle if it is that serious for you. But I would recommend getting some more education regarding hoodoo and color correspondences. Furthermore, you need to be protecting yourself, and cleansing these aspects of your life on a regular basis.


edit to add so this will not be taken out of context: The use of not wanting to put their name under a black candle was referring to reservations about using the candle for banishing. If you do not want to use it for crossing, hexing, or break up work, then that is up to you. But not using certain colors can leave a person not being able to experience all that hoodoo has to offer, and the use of certain colors can help add to the effectiveness and energy of the spell. Learning more about color correspondence and ALL their uses can help a rootworker become more effective in their work.

[ConjureMan]

Yes, yes, lets not be scared of black candles. They have such a dreadful reputation, but when it comes down, black candles can be used to remove negativity so well. I know that we've been socialized to think of things like black as evil or somehow bad, but when we work magick we must be able to transcend such limited concepts. Use your black candle to banish negativity, or if you feel uncomfortable than simply use the double action candles.

[Devi Spring]

LOL - I remember growing up in a house where I was not allowed to even touch (or look at too long) at the black candles that came out at Halloween time in the card stores. I was taught that "satanists and witches prayed evil over them". Even as a child I remember saying, "they did that over the ones in the CARD store???". I never bought it. I was so happy to buy black candles when I moved out at 17! I just burned them as decor for a long time - because they symbolized freedom to me for a while.

[Mama Micki]

Stars, there is no reason to look down on people that are hesitant to do negative work and to declare that such a person is "very limited in [his or her] abilities as a spell caster." Some choose not to be involved in such things; it is not necessarily a matter of ability.

Not all of us want to break up relationships, curse people, etc., and it is insulting to imply that if we don't, we are deficient in some way.

[Devi Spring]

Black is not just used for crossing work - it is for banishing and diminishing which are important aspects of magical work. What this person is asking about isn't even close to "negative" work - it's very positive work. Black is NOT a negative color in an of itself, though it looks like you also share the opinion that it is. It's not.
Stars' comment simply pointed out that if someone still feels frightened by black candles, then they likely have very little magical education and experience, and would benefit most from more study so they can understand the theory behind the practice, and have a firm grasp on the symbolism and various energies involved. Those are very basic skills that are fundamental to doing effective work. It was a very valid statement, and the advice given very sound.

[starsinthesky7]

Thank you Devi...for explaining what I was going to say.

Cleopatra...I didnt say anything about the person being limited in their abilities as a spell caster if they choose not to use black for break up spells, cursing people etc. I was merely addressing the fact that people stereotypically think that black is ALWAYS BAD, and negative. Just like Devi said.... being educated about the color correspondences will only help the person understand that black is not merely used for evil. This goes with many things in Hoodoo...four thieves vinegar can be used for both to break up AND for protection, black pepper and asafoetida can be used for cursing AND to fight off evil, and there are many more examples of this in hoodoo.

For this person, I gave an alternative, and I did not try to even force the use of black down their throat. So please do not take this out of context of the entire thread. Sometimes being stuck in a box is only going to leave you...well stuck in a box when it comes to certain beliefs about hoodoo. When this person is ready, and learns more about hoodoo then perhaps they will become more comfortable with the use of black.

Furthermore, black is not the only color you can use for cursing. I can curse a person using a plain white candle,red for blood shed, and I have even seen brown used to curse and break up. And I have used white for cursing, and it did work. So black is not the only color. The intranquil spirit is a cursing spell as well...but you are using a pink candle NOT a black candle. So black is not the only color that can be used for cursing by any means. And expanding one's knowledge about the color correspondences can open up a world of uses for both good and positive work.

And lastly...this post is not about negative work. It is quite the opposite which is about banishing work, therefore I have no reason to look down upon someone who is "hesitant to do negative work" because this is not negative work. Banishing is getting rid of the negativity. I'm not here to coax someone into using bad colors...hence why I told them if its that challenging for them...to just default to white. If a person doesn't want to do break up work, then that is that person's business. But in my post I never said anything about them being deficient if they don't do negative work. This is just reinforcing what we are all talking about as black being a bad color. Its not just used for negative work.

Hope that clears that up.

[thegoldman]

I grew up in the deep South with my Christian family. Praying of psalms was an everyday occurrence.

Any and all work utilized white candles. The only difference was the herbs and a drop or two of cooking oil. Uncrossing candles had bay leaves and peppermint (torn from tea bags) while love candles had dried rose petals from our yard. Cleansing baths always had salt and 4711 Cologne (our version of Florida water). Almost everything used came from our cupboard.

I guess our belief, even when prayers were directed to saints, was that God ultimately would make the "final decision" and white candles were the most appropriate and respectful color to burn for his aid.
I've read on this forum where "it wasn't God's will" or "it wasn't meant to be" were given as reasons for someone's work not being successful. This leads me to question my own rootwork practices. Yes, I'm burning a black candle to banish my problems, but is the candle directed at my problems or being utilized by an entity to help banish my problems? ? Is it my own personal energy or is it spirit helping me? I'm not expecting answers, but these are fundamental issues for me when doing occult work.

Regardless, I appreciate all who took the time to respond to my question. THANK YOU.

[Devi Spring]

...but is the candle directed at my problems or being utilized by an entity to help banish my problems? ? Is it my own personal energy or is it spirit helping me?

All of the above. God helps those who help themselves.

[path2success]

Is there any particular way to work with the moon phases? I know for good, growing spells - waxing and banishing - waning. Apart from that is there anything else to be done so that the moon's energy will influence the spell more or does it suffice to perform spells in appropriate phases? For that matter even the planetary hours and days - does it suffice to maybe burn a honey jar candle during the mercury & venus hour coz i haven't found any specific prayers to be said to incorporate the planet powers in hoodoo.

[jwmcclin]

Working with moon phases is a personal choice of the individual; some uses include the time of year, season, time of day, day of week along with or without the moon phases. In addition astrological oils or times are used to integrate characteristics of that particular planets power.

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.

Good morning everyone I would like to now is it best to do a spell what the exact time the full moon or wait until night seeing the full moon is in this morning at 10:28 am will it be stronger now or the same effect at midnight.

[Devi Spring]

You have a 3-day window to use a full moon (the day before, the day of, the day after - visibly there is negligible difference these days so you can use whatever works best for you). Pick the best time within those 3 days for your spell. Doing it tomorrow (Monday - moon day) during the planetary hour of the moon, during a Full Moon would be a really powerful way to harness this one.

[nheard26]

Hello, this is my first time on here. And I just purchased the Essence of Bend Over Products. I was wondering should I start using the products when the New Moon is in? I also purchased the Glass Vigil Candel, do I have to add something to it to represent my target? And how would I burn this candel in secret? Please help. I need some advise. Thx.

[catherineyronwode]

Here is a good, short tutorial on how to cast spells by the moon phases from my free online book "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice":

http://luckymojo.com/moonphases.html



You can indeed load your candle with something personal of the target. You can place a photo or name-paper beneath it, take it to the label, or, if you have a hair or something very small, poke a hole in the wax at the top and insert it. Call out your intention, petition, or prayer for results as you do this.

I cannot tell you the best way for you to burn a candle in secret, because i do not know your living conditions. You can burn the candle in sections when you are alone, but you will need long fireplace matches to re-light it every time. I actually have one client who rents a small storage unit in which she performs all of her spell work away from her home.

[nheard26]

Thank You! Thank You! Well my boyfriend and I live 2gether, and during the day hes at work. And do I need to wait until the new moon to work with it? And I will check out that link.

[catherineyronwode]

Not everyone works by the phase of the moon. Some work by the sign of the moon, some work by the day of the week, and some work by necessity. And many of us COMBINE these ways of timing our spells!

[nheard26]

What do I look up for the signs of the moon? And thank you so much! I really like this web site, Im glad you guys are here.

[nheard26]

Is it best to work by the signs of the moon, the days of the week or anything else? I really want to work with my products now, and I dont know when to use them. please help.

[jwmcclin]

Re-read cat's response nheard26...

[catherineyronwode]

Dear nheard26, you are not going to find a "best" way to work by the Moon in American folk magic. Some work by moon phases (a heavily Native and African influence) and some work by Moon signs (a heavily European influences). The two styles are different, and in Southern-style African American folk magic, they can be blended or combined as well. This blending is what has produced hoodoo!

[nheard26]

Thank you for that advise. I will use it wisely. thx.

[nheard26]

What exactly is the morning cresent moon? And what is it used for?

[jwmcclin]

If you are speaking of the Waning Crescent Moon , it is a time when the moon is growing smaller in crescents to the left prior to the new moon. Magically, it is a time for decrease and to perform spells to let go of unwanted things, situations and habits. Spells of banishment and curse removal are more powerful during the waning moon.

Here is additional information on LM's website http://www.luckymojo.com/moonphases.html

[nheard26]

Thx.

[Mercurious]

I believe that most magico-spiritual traditions blended a little throughout the ages (but still remained unique unto themselves), especially when the "New World" was being colonized by Europeans. African slaves traded knowledge with American Indians and bits of Jewish magic and wisdom ended up flavoring Hoodoo a bit, such as the Seals of Solomon. I'm not sure if any root workers gave any attention to the planetary designations of the days of the week and each hour of the day, but that is an old practice that was started in the astrological religion of Chaldea and became popular folklore in Europe. Essentially, each day is ruled by a planet and is named after a Norse/Germanic god, (Sunday=Sun, Monday=Moon, Tuesday=Tyr/Mars, Wednesday=Woden/Mercury, Thursday=Thor/Jupiter, Friday=Freya/Venus, Saturday=Saturn). Every day at sunrise the planetary hours would begin with the planet of that day. For example, on Tuesday at sunrise the hour would be ruled by Mars, the second hour by Mercury, and so on and so forth.

Hoodoo workings can be done on specific days during specific hours for good results (Friday, ruled by Venus, is good for Love and Prosperity). However, Hoodoo, unlike European magic, doesn't need all that extra stuff. It's basic, down and dirty. A root here, a leaf there, a candle, You and Your power. That's the beauty of Hoodoo, why I'm attracted to it at least. I don't think that planetary hours were popular practices in the South among root-workers, probably more utilized by those of European ancestry. But Lucky Mojo does carry planetary curios, so I believe that it is still a beneficial practice, although somewhat arbitrary and antiquated (I have yet to discover the true reasoning behind designating the way the days and hours are). It's interesting to note that old farmers paid close attention to astrology and planted their crops in accordance with the phases of the moon and the positioning of the sun and stars, including the planets.

I hope I helped a little. Search online for "Planetary hours" to read more about the days and hours and how they are used. Good Luck!

[chy clayton s]

I remember asking my great grandfather (Choctaw rootworker) about one of my mother's spells that had to be done at 11:59 exactly (a lot of Romi spells are worked in the between). My g-grandfather spit tobaco and said something along the line of - "That'd be nice - if I had a watch..."

Most of the workings I learned from him were done morning, evening, night, or false dawn. Times you could tell without a watch.

His daughter (my grandmother) would say "between 4 and 5 am - when the birds wake up." Or "early evening - when the crows fly home,"

She used a lot of very specific natural time points, but I don't know if that was tradition or just a way to explain it to me and my cousins.

[catherineyronwode]

Mercurious wrote: "I'm not sure if any root workers gave any attention to the planetary designations of the days of the week."

I suggest you take my Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course or attend my "Astrology for Rootworkers" class at the annual Hoodoo Workshops in Forestville, California on May 8th and 9th, 2010. The answers you seek are there. To make it brief, though, yes, conjure practice traditionally DOES include working with the planetary designations of the days of the week.

And, really, it's a little high-and-mighty of you, who doesn't even know that simple fact, to tell us that "Hoodoo, unlike European magic, doesn't need all that extra stuff."

Hoodoo contains a lot more "stuff" than you seem to want to give it credit for.

[ConjureMan]

Mercurious,

I recall that African American rootworker informants interviewed by Harry M. Hyatt in the 1930s mentioned old grimoires and other "handbooks" of magick like the 6th and 7th book of Moses, and some specifically taught Hyatt how to do spells according to moon signs and moon phases.

Which goes to prove that conjurers were just as informed and "educated" about things like planetary associations as your next spiritual practitioner.

[catherineyronwode]

That is correct, conjureman.

The first full-time African American astrologer i can track down, Edward Lowe of Chicago, published his "Spiritualistic Dream Book" in the early 1920s, made and sold "Algiers Perfume" and other conjure products, and prepared horoscopes for clients, per his ads. He also sold planetary hour calculators. This was at least 10 years -- probably 12-14 years -- before Harry Hyatt toured the south and interviewed rootworkers about hoodoo.

Another rootworker-astrologer was Dr. E. P. Read of Philadelphia. He got his start as a druggist and herb doctor in the 1890s, but by the 1930s, he was also doing horoscopes -- and he may have been doing them earlier than that, although i have no evidence.

[danger]

What is the best day to do a money spell?

[ConjureMan]

If you work by days then Sundays for success and business, Wed for commerce, trade, and communication, and Thursdays for prosperity. In hoodoo Friday is also a big day for money and business spells as its a day associated with pay day.

Chose the symbolism that fits your work best.

Good luck.

[jwmcclin]

I find Sunday and Friday great days to work money spells especially during the waxing moon. But remember money is always needed...

[NotDorianGray]

Depends how deperate you are. If you need to eat and you have no food int he house and no money to buy any, then the best day for money work is TODAY. If you're not in that bad a situation, then you can worry more about which day of the week.

[freegirl]

So, I've been working a skull candle for a few days.

At first I burned it at night but lately I've felt compelled to burn it around sundown... this is also when MY thoughts are strongest... late afternoon.

Somehow by the time evening falls I'm much calmer.

So my question is, where time of day is concerned, am I right to go with my intuition on this one?

[thelightfantastic]

You're free do whatever you want actually. Some people work only at night (target's defenses tend to be down during that time) or only do certain spells when the hands of the clock are rising or falling (depending on the work) .It's really up to you. If you feel that a certain time of day works better for you mentally, work at that time of day.

Hoodoo is pretty flexible like that.

[freegirl]

Thanks! That was my gut feeling, and I've seen several times the idea that you can choose a timing or you can work when you have to do the work. In other words, waning/waxing moon, time of day, day of week can be factors but if you can't wait, don't wait.

[jwmcclin]

That's correct freegirl.

[ConjureMan]

Some people feel that at certain times of the day they are stronger, more focused, their power is at its peak and as such schedule their spellcasting around that. If you feel that you're getting better milege out of doing it at sundown, go for it. You could think of the setting sun as the resistance of your target weakening and setting. Good luck.

[PennyDreadful]

HI there, everyone!

I'm new to hoodoo and the boards, although I have practiced kitchen witchcraft for fourteen years. I want to thank everyone for reading about my situation. I will try to keep it from being too lengthy, but I want to also be clear as to what's going on.

I am a 27-year-old woman and have had nothing but bad luck in relationships. This takes two forms: first, I continually seem to attract the worst kinds of friends; manipulative, draining people who latch onto me and won't let go. I'm lucky and grateful that this hasn't been the case in all my friendships, and I'm blessed with a handful of really good ones. But I would venture that the majority of my friendships have taken a turn for the worse, even when I've taken the time to get to know someone very slowly. In case it helps, here are some examples:

-A former friend began to get extremely jealous after we got close. She would call at least a dozen times a day, and frequently told me she didn't want me to have other friends.

-Another former friend was unemployed for over two years. At least once or twice a week, she'd walk into my house without calling first, or even knocking (unless the door was locked) and complain about her life. She never once asked how I was, and instead, she belittled and criticized me, disparaged my interests and even my family. I have since cut off contact with her, but she still owes me 100 dollars.

-A third was friends with me and my sister for several years. We ended our friendship with her when we found out she was telling lies about both of us--saying that we were gossiping about and back-stabbing one another!- in an effort to destroy the close relationship my sister and I share.

The other form my bad luck seems to take is that I have no romantic good fortune at all. I have been told that I'm an attractive woman. I'm friendly, peaceful, a good cook and I do my best to be a kind and caring person. I have my own life, interests, and a good education. I dress well and am extremely feminine. But I can't seem to attract men the way other women can. I very, very rarely get any attention from men; the few times it has happened, it's been awful. Looking back on my sparse romantic history, I can honestly say that I haven't had a moment's real romantic happiness. But I have been yelled at and insulted by men. I've spent time in a relationship with no love in it (I mistook friendship for love; he was never over loving his ex) I have spent years pining over men who were stuck on women who treated them poorly. I briefly saw a man who promised me the moon and then told me he was married, who mocked me when I was upset and who did other bad things. I just recently had a rare date with a boy who seemed perfect. We had a wonderful time, had everything in common-- he was the answer to my prayers, in fact. And he told me he thought I was wonderful, kissed me, told me how excited he was to meet someone who seemed so right for him.... and then the next day told me he wasn't ready for a relationship. This was the oddest and most hurtful experience yet, and it felt very wrong; as if I'd been given something I was supposed to have, something I'd been pining for for years, and then it was taken away by something else. I've let go and made my peace with that particular boy, but I can't stand these situations much longer.

But mostly, I just don't attract men to me in the first place.

There is clearly something very, very wrong; but it's hard to convince anyone of this. When I try to talk to people about it, I feel like Cassandra; they say, "Oh, men look at you, you're just imagining things." or "It'll just happen," or "Everybody has bad experiences." or "You just need to be confident!" (I'm a professional dancer; I'm plenty confident in front of people!) or, most infuriatingly, 'You could get a man if you really wanted to." Well, I really want to.

The only person who has taken my situation seriously is my wonderful sister. She pointed out to me that a lot of people (not most, but an uncomfortably large amount) treat me very rudely. They are short with me, condescending, and thoughtless. I hadn't realized until she pointed out many examples. Clearly, something is wrong with my interpersonal relationships. I have no idea what crossed circumstances or personal qualities in me cause this to happen. I've been told I'm somewhat of a doormat, but other than that, I'm not sure what could cause this.

My sister uses a pendulum to divine things, and through a series of yes/no questions, she unearthed the following:

1. I've picked up crossed circumstances by past failed friendships...the people may be gone but their influence remains.
2. I need a powerful un-jinxing, and someone needs to do it for me.

So...what should I do? I was looking at Lucky Mojo's blessed candles-- Cut and Clear, Cast Off Evil, Road Opener, and Van Van all sounded good-- and I was thinking that having one burned for me would be a good start. But it seems like I need something really big to reverse this.

Thank you so much for reading about my situation. I'm sorry it turned out so long...I wanted to make sure that the details were clear.

[Mama Micki]

Get a reading from someone at AIRR to determine what your course of action will be. You may need a simple cleansing or something to boost your self-esteem. Or someone or something might be jinxing you.

If you can't get a reading right away, take a saltwater bath right now, and order the 13-herb bath and a Cut and Clear vigil candle to clear away the negativity.

[Yule]

I recognize myself in all what you say. Really! In friendship and love. I thought i was cursed! I do get attention from men though, a lot, but what is "deep love" it always turns out to be plain sexual atrraction, they say... So you can imagine the kind of man I come accross...
My friends are always very tormented people and they call me all the time, come to my house until very late in the night and talk and talk for hours and days without even bothering to ask me how i feel (and it happens i do have loads of problems i never get the chance to tell...).

The thing is i thought i was cursed or something. Got a reading, well actually many readings. They never found that "curse" but they did recomended to me to do a clean. I did. Nothing happened. But at least I begun to be more aware of people with "bad vibes"and I also did protection. But still I would worry too much for people who didnt give a damn for me.
Finally i decided to see a therapist, yes a shrink! I went for about 6 months and it turned out it was ME and my patterns, looking always for the same kind of problematic people and adopting the "mother"role...

What i want to say is that aside from the cleansings you should check also the WHY you always end up with selfish people.

I know this has nothing to do with hoodoo stuff but i felt so recognize in the post that i thought i must add my 50 cents.
