Please look into getting a reading. This may be an omen or a sign, and it may not be. Here, on the board we can give you many ideas as to what it might mean, but it is still not going to give specifically what it means for your situation. I would suggest getting a 10 minute reading on this manner. Off hand I know Miss Bri does 10 minute readings.

I had seen limited spaced altars which did not looked messy.
Maybe you be looking for suitable crafts for the altar.
You need to be aware of the size of the altar.
good luck.

I have a question regarding where the spell work is done. I tend to do any work that's positive or changing for the better in my bathroom (i know, LOL) because it seems to be the most fireproof room and I can place candles in the sink or tub when they need to be left alone for some time without worrying about fire dangers although I do still keep an eye on them.

I want to do some additional work (hot foot type) to get rid of some rather pesky neighbors or at least have them stay away from our property. I obviously won't have the candles burning at the same time, but was wondering if it's okay to share the same space? If not then how far apart should they be kept? If I am sharing the space, how do I clean it properly after something "negative"? Thanks in advance.

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 3:25 pm

I would make sure that you cleanse the space adequately. Yes you can do both works in the same space, but you need to make sure that you are cleansing. You can simply divide up the space, and cleanse it with chinese wash, and/or use a sage smudge stick. I use to do some of my stuff in the same room but different space, but I was constantly cleansing the air, and myself when I went between works. Yes I would have them burning at the same time.

Here is how to use chinese wash. http://www.luckymojo.com/chinesewash.html

Hello everyone.....
I'm new and I want to set up my alter and it seems that I read somewhere that it is your preference on how you want to set it up and what color cloth you can use...
I was reading Charms Spells and Formulas by Ray Malbrough and he says I should use a white cloth for my alter...and that I should place two white candles in the middle back of it.....And also, what do I anoint my candles, tools, etc. with?
Can anyone clear this up for me? It seems like I read one thing somewhere saying one way and then I read something else somewhere saying another....
Looking forward to any replies....Thank you for the time to read my message....

Please read this thread to see if it helps does-altar-set-up-have-an-effect-on-spe ... -t124.html

Different books are going to have different opinions on how to set up an altar.

Here are various things you can put on your altar space
http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocattools.html

As for your altar, and what you anoint your candle with, it depends on what your objective is. If its for love this some people have an overall, love lamp going to draw in love and what not. You can have various candles on the altar to keep heat on the situation. Some people put saints, and ancestor things to help the work.There is not right way to do an altar. It can be simple or it can be complex. The idea is to make it personal and make it your own.

That's basically it katherine...(as starsnthesky7 said) different people do different things and personalize to their liking. I have followed spells and as I learn, personalize to my needs/feelings/desires...and have found it worked better for me by adding this or removing that. You will find the same as you learn and practice.

Thank you both so much for your time to answer my question...
Yes I have read the forum you suggested, thank you...but still wasn't sure...
I thought it would be ok to set it up the way I like it....I have put some gold cloths down with candles, some white, some off white, red and brown....and I really like it that way....I was hoping I wouldn't have to change it...I will be getting an incense burner, but haven't decided on what kind....

Here's my quick advice as someone who's been going from magical 101 book to 101 book for about 11 years (it really seems like that's all that's out there anymore for independent study). Every author/teacher/whomever has their one way of doing things and more often than not it dismisses the last one you read entirely. i'm not saying "who cares, do what you want to do and ignore everything entirely" but to take what you've learned and piece it together into something coherant that fits the way you work. Like it's been said several times, there is no wrong way and there is no right way.

I say try out each method, and see what works for you. I understand what you are talking about when you are first starting out. If you want you can take Cat's hoodoo correspondence course. That way everything is not overwhelming to you, and you will have a strong foundation for what hoodoo is, and various methods including setting up altars for different purposes.

I don't know if someone would take her from the Church, though. I know I certainly wouldn't pick something up and walk out of a Church! And I'm pagan! *lol* Perhaps a better plan would be to ask a member or the clergy of the church to find a new home for your older statue? Ask if they know of anyone who could use that particular Saint's guidance and help in their lives and ask them to gift the statue to that person?

Unread post by **Miss Tammie Lee** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:11 am

Keep the statue (for now). In the future you may wish to give it to someone who may need it as much as you did OR you might want to carry it with you if it is that small. I (had) a beautiful six inch statue of St Jude I carried with me everywhere. My Mom needed St Jude, and even though I still did, I gave it to her.
I have not figured how to "pull the quotes"-- but I would NEVER take a statue from a Church-- even if your intentions are good to leave it for someone to find. I would like to believe that most people would "turn in to the lost and found". Statues and other similar items are very sentimental to most people. Just my 2 cents.

It's pretty traditional within folk Catholicism to leave a statue such as this in an inconspicuous spot within a Catholic church. Some leave it under a pew, some tuck it away somewhere.

Hi,

Please forgive me if this question has been asked before, I really couldn't locate anything that is related.
I am about to place an order today, and I opted for fixed vigil candles. I will order 4 of them in total, and all of them are for different purposes, even though some of them are related. For example, I will get a road opener, break-up, love related and business related. My question is can you set all of them at the same time on your altar, or do you have to light them and petition saints/spirits once you have finished with the first one and so on. And also, in which order would I do that?

Thank you and I apologize if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find it.

Unread post by **Miss Tammie Lee** » Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:02 am

Yes, you can set them simultaneously; however, depending on what you are really trying to , Saturday would be the best day for break up work, and for "(limitations and obstacles)" while Sunday is an overall success day and wealth. Thursday is a good day for wealth and expansion (road opener) Friday is for love and money.
Many people work by days of the week, the time of the day (sunrise and sunset), the moon. Many of the posters that I respect have also written if you need to start immediately, do so. The weekday outline, moon phases, etc are guidelines, but if there is a necessity to begin then begin.
You would write your petition, set it under the dressed candles (I suggest you order some LM Oils) the light the candle and focus on petition. If your spell calls for lets say the 23rd Psalm or if you are ordering a Vigal Candle for a Saint, the prayer for that will be included in the order. Say the prayer (there is typically a place for a petition within a prayer)
Last, before you get started you might want to have a reading from a member of AIRR so that they can instruct you as to which candles to order, kits etc. Most will set lights, too--- to back up your work. This is a good idea. I have had the need for back up work and have found it to be most successful.

Thank you so much for you help Triplethreat.
This is my first order and I have already scheduled a reading. I will be ordering more products after the reading, I need something to get me going.
I am doing break up spell and love related spell, and have already started a vinegar jar. So in that sense, after the reading I will definitely be getting more products.
Thanks a lot.

emmagal --

Your candles are: "road opener, break-up, love related and business related." Some would light them all at once on one altar. I would not. At Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, we have FOUR altars, and your selection happens to work out to one candle per altar. Our altars:

Blessing: positive changes, health, protection, court issues around innocence

Removal: hot-footing, revenge, cursing, dispersal, and damnation

Love: attraction, drawing, sustaining, marriage, return, reconcilliation

Money: attraction, drawing, business, jobs, career success, gambling luck

So i would light one candle on each altar, with the Road Opener coming first.

If you wish to work by the days of the week, which would mean that you light each candle on a different day, either at the same altar or on different altars, you do not need to have seven altars (one for each day of the week). You can have four altars, as we do at Missionary Independent, and as Deacon Millett does at Four Altars Gospel Sanctuary, or even just two altars -- one facing East for attraction, and one facing West for removal. If you can only put up one altar, due to space considerations, you can divide it into either two halves or four quadrants, as you wish.

Sunday: Sun: yellow, gold: health and healing, success, blessings, fame, wealth, men and boys

Monday: Moon: white, blue, silver: women and children, home, dreams, psychic visions, family

Tuesday: Mars: red: competition, war, courage, power, energy, risk-taking, open conflict, victory

Wednesday: Mercury: orange: communication, verbal skills, messages, trickery, gambling

Thursday: Jupiter: purple: patronage, money (Europe), power, wealth, expansion, royalty

Friday: Venus: green, pink: love, sexuality, artistry, seduction, aesthetics, plants, money (USA),

Saturday: Saturn: black: duties, limitations, enemies, controlling, obstacles, curses, death

Note that the traditional day for money is Thursday, the day of power and luxury, ruled by Jupiter, but in the USA, due to two unrelated factors -- the 5-day work-week that ends on Friday with a pay check, and the fact that all of our paper money is green (so called "greenback dollars") -- we have gradually transitioned our money work to Friday and are using green candles for money. In the older European system, green (Venus) and gold (Sun) are for a good agricultural harvest, but it is purple (Jupiter) and gold (Sun) that stand for money in the bank, and you will note that the money of other countries often is partially purple.

This altar, courtesy of Prof. C. D. Porterfield of The Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers (AIRR), is being worked for a Road Opener spell -- and note the use of the yellow "solar" helper light candle and the yellow Sun emblem, to shed solar bounty on the endeavor:

Cinnamon Brooms are also an autumn decorative foliage, can be hung at the front door similar to wreaths, on the wall (as you mentioned) or over a mantel...they smell real good and can be refreshed by holding them over steam. As you know spiritually, cinnamon is brings in good fortune in business and money matter. Good Luck continuously...

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 10:04 am

Read Exodus 30. Here you will find you basic Biblical refernce to the sacred use of Cinnamon.

We sell Cinnamon Brooms at Lucky Mojo in two sizes:

ALT-BRO-CINL Altar Broom Cinnamon Broom, Large $9.00
ALT-BRO-CINS Altar Broom Cinnamon Broom, Small $6.00

Since hoodoo is primarily Christian with a decided Old Testament flavour to it, you should not be too surprised that you can find our Cinnamon Brooms listed under altar tools in our catalogue -- but note well, these are Pine twig brooms ... as in Cherokee Indian cleaning out ghosts Pine twigs. So we have a Georgia Pines Double Duty thing going on here -- Cinnamon is part of Jehovah's Holy Oil AND Pine clears away evil spirits -- PLUS, we add in the African emphasis on keeping the floor swept, to sweep away foot track magic, and now we see a Triple Hit -- African-Cherokee-Jewish beliefs converging into African-American conjure. Cinnamon is a scent sacred to God, Cinnamon brings money, brooms sweep away enemies, Pine clears off ghosts, and Pine is also found in some money-drawing formulas as well.

I’ve outgrown my current altar/shrine space, and I have very limited space in my home. There is one place that may be perfect or it may be entirely imperfect.

I have a built in buffet that is the right size, shape, and location, however the back of it is a fixed mirror. My instinct tells me that because of this it would not be a good place to work.

Can anyone comment on this? Also, it may be possible for me to cover the mirror with fabric, although I’d rather not have to. Can anyone comment on this approach?

While I've read quite a bit about hoodoo practice, I'm really just now contemplating actually getting involved with hoodoo work.

My question is, how important is having an "altar" on which to work? I'm from the South and was raised around Baptists my whole life, both black and white and I can't imagine any of the black Baptists I've known would have even considered having a place they referred to as an "altar" or "spirit altar" seeing as how home altar spaces aren't really a part of evangelical Protestantism.

Is it satisfactory to simply have a place where you can set a light?

I'm just curious since I'm not sure how open I want or can be about working.

Welcome to the forum Ntillman. It is definitely your personal choice to have an altar for your work Ntillman. You can choose to have a place or space identified where you work your spells. Some practitioners maintain altars for visual appeal, ancestry worship, candle work, are to help them concentrate on their spellwork at hand. Again its a personal choice.

Your post has been added to a long discussion that covers pretty much all of your concerns and questions.

Good Luck in your findings, Ntillman.

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Wed Dec 29, 2010 2:37 pm

Hello Ntillman, I think you may be a bit confused about what an altar is. An altar is merely a surface dedicated for spiritual matters. This does not mean that your altar needs to a table with arcane runes, weird symbols, and strange curios--it can be, but it can also be as simple as a table with a few candles on it and pictures of your ancestors.

Altars aren't just a "hoodoo thing," but have existed in the South for a long time. Christians in the South, Baptist or otherwise, use tables or the top of cabinets which they decorate with pictures, set up religious iconography, set a candle or two. I've seen these frequently even in the homes of non-practitioners. They may not consider it an altar, per se, but it certainly serves a similar function and these "sacred" areas are treated specially.

If you have the room you can set up a surface dedicated to your work, if not then you can create movable altars, or temporary ones. For example using the top of a counter then putting away your materials when not in use leaving the counter free.

Hope that helps.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:34 pm

Ntillman, as ConjureMan Ali says, the concept of an altar is not always called an altar. We use this word nowadays as a convenience, but i have seen these sacred spaces referred to by names like "my family memory place," "my old photos," or by the name of the type of furniture being employed as an altar surface: "the mantelpiece," "on top my nightstand," "the chifferobe," "my "vanity table," and so forth.

And for those unfamiliar with furniture, here is a picture of a chifferobe, which is a very convenient altar space indeed.

and this is a vanity table:

Now, to show you the traditional usage of a vanity table as an altar, here is a photograph taken by Gordon Parks for the FSA, in Washington DC in August 1942. At right is Ella Watson, and at left is her adopted daughter

On the vanity are statues, candles, lamps, a lucky trunk-up elephant, a crucifix, and small floral arrangements. The owner of this vanity was a member of a Spiritualist church.

I find the Lucky Mojo site (yes, I am a customer) to be intriguing and valuable for hoodoo supplies etc. (more than once I had to remind myself it was a store for hoodoo and not just magick in general) but I wish one major thing would be clarified better throughout the site. Hopefully the post will be sufficient for anyone with the same curiosity. I realized that certain items seem to lack the numerical proportion or amount included. This has came up awhile back so I do not actually remember all of what I saw that had this problem though it was more than two or three things. For right now though my question is when you place a single order in for any of the Holy Cards such as the St. Dymphna or Anima Sola Holy Cards do you just get ONE card per order? or is it a stack of numerous cards?

I've never had a problem going to a priest and asking them to bless an item for me; I've had everything from rosaries to needlework blessed. That depends on what type of blessing you're looking for, of course - a Catholic priest blessing would be very different from a conjure one, I'm assuming, but if you're looking for a generic blessing, or something short term before you can get the oils you need, I wouldn't think there would be problems in that respect.
