Disposal of Ritual Remains Questions and Answers

Unread post by **Thassa** » Fri Dec 10, 2010 9:45 am

I live in an area where right now, the ground is frozen, the water ways are frozen and everything is covered with over a foot of snow. Any ideas for disposal of left over spell materials that would be normally buried or thrown into water? I have a vinegar jar that I am done with and need to dispose of and I really don't know what to do with it. Also I want to goofer dust someone and I don't know how I'm going to do that. Maybe mix it with sand? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Dump the contents of the jar at a crossroads, then recycle the glass. Goofer dust...maybe a salt/sand mixture. Might melt the snow a bit and the goofer dust might stick more with the wet.

Hello everyone

I am making food offerings to relatives and loved ones who have passed away on a special table in my home. I know that you aren't supposed to consume food that has been offered to the dead. I was wondering if once their essences have partaken of the food is it alright to simply discard it? I live in an apartment and burying it isn't really an option for me. I wouldn't want to offer it to animals either since it is the food of the dead.

Thank you Annmarie Setti

I have a double question concerning the burial process. I live with a family member and I was wondering, because I will soon be getting an apartment. I have a few things buried in the front and back yard of this house I am currently staying in, what would I do if I were to move out and get my own apartment? (i.e. do I leave it there? rebury it in my complex?) also would I be able to live in a 2nd level apartment or would it be better for me to live in a first level for future rituals? (Personal and Helpful advice is most appreciated) THANKS

I'm thinking if you have already completed a spell and buried the ritual remains, there really wouldn't be anything to gain by digging the remains up and transporting them anywhere. I was thinking of it kinda like a garden. If you had a garden, you wouldn't pull the flowers out and try and replant them somewhere else. Wouldn't have the same effect and the plants might actually die. You'd be better off planting a new garden. So when you get to your new apartment, you should just redo the work as needed.

Greeeeat Example! I totally needed that. Now I assume I will need to be on the first level in order me to do the burials since I have the back of the apartment to bury my work. Instead of filling my house with plants. Thanks Again!!!

Okay ummmm....UPDATE:

Bad News. The apartment I am going to be getting soon, umm my friends and family are telling me to NOT get a bottom floor apartment. So with having nice furniture, people may break in. So they want me to take no risks. I'm stuck in getting a 2nd or 3rd floor apartment. So how am I still able to do Burials if I am not on the ground floor?

I'm curious about my options for disposing of ritual remains/spell material. I've read the LM pages below regarding and the information on about disposal:
-http://www.luckymojo.com/candlemagic.html
-http://www.luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html

However, the few issues are presented for me given the disposal options. I'm not working on anything right now. There are a few positive spells that I am interested in doing, and few negative that I have tabled for now, but don't want to begin these spells unless I can dispose of the remains appropriately.

Crossroads: Heavily trafficked
My yard: I have nosy neighbors, the yard itself is very public and currently covered in snow
Running water: No local bodies of running water
Graveyards: Only one local graveyard, but it's in front of a heavily trafficked road, gets frequent visitors, and is well maintained (caretakers and visitors would notice a new small mound with a tiny headstone)

Can remains be buried in the soil of a household plant (or outdoor planter), hidden in the structure of a house (e.g. a crack or unfinished wall), flushed down a toilet, or thrown in the trash after a ritual is completed or the results of a spell have been achieved?

trish76 · Unread post by **trish76** » Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:13 pm

I believe someone posted about disposal at a croosroads while driving. I mean of course be conscious of where you are and don't throw large objects out of the window while driving. If it's just remants of candle wax or bath water, I think this should be fine. If concerned about being noticed, you could also drive by it at night where at least noone will see what you're disposing of. I live in a fairly large apartment complex and when I need to dispose of something I just do it. You are not performing a ritual out there, just toss and go. You can do it while crossing the street. Sitting and worrying about it, you can always come up with one reason or another why it can't be done.

trish76 · Unread post by **trish76** » Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:38 pm

Unless you're moving to a shady area, bottom floor apartments aren't that bad. You could get renter's insurance if necessary. In any case, technically in an aprtment complex, other than your front door and inside your apartment, everything else is really community property. It's not really anyone's personal front yard or backyard per se, so it's not like you can only use it if you live above it instead of directly in front of it. I think as long as the yard is in front of or behind your building, you should be fine. Of course thats just my opinion.

Ok. Because I dont wanna end up trespassing on someone elses property. But what else would you suggest? The apartments arent necessarily bad nor ghetto orr hood. Its just that everyone is nosey and observant. I can put latches on my door or bless my new and first place with no bad negative people breakng into my propertyy. Or get a Protection Kit. Or bless a new home kit. What else would you have in mind? I'm kinda lost Trish?

When you offer food to a saint, loa, deva, etc. do you eat it after a period of time or throw it out, and if the latter, how? The bourbon and rum are no matter as they are consumed (evaporate) quickly. But cake, fruit, honey, etc. linger and become a nuisance. I'd also rather not keep dead flowers around on my altar. When the petition has been granted, shouldn't the artifacts of the work all just be gotten rid of?

I've heard some say that eating it is tantamount to taking it back, but how does that differ from throwing it out?

And in Catholic/Orthodox Christianity the bread and wine are first offered, and when consecrated, consumed. Likewise, in Hinduism the food is first offered, and when prasadam, consumed.

Then there are the remains of numerous burnt candles. Sometimes they burn cleanly so that nothing remains. Other times they make a mess and run. For some kinds of work, it should be tossed in the river on in an intersection, but certainly not for everything. What then?

Unread post by **jwmcclin** » Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:32 pm

I cannot say it better than how cat worded the reasons for ritual disposal, "Because hoodoo is a form of "natural magic," one of its axioms is that the herbs, roots, minerals, and other items used in root-work are themselves inherently powerful, rather than having to be "consecrated," "empowered" or "charged" with energy in the neo-pagan manner. For this reason it is also very important in the hoodoo tradition to properly dispose of any material remnants that are left over after a spell has been cast, a mojo hand has been created, or a trick has been laid."

With that said, offering of food items can be fed to the birds or another environmentally friendly method of disposal. And it is not 'gotten rid of' it is a ritual disposal. FYI Laying Down Tricks and Disposing of Ritual Remnants in the Hoodoo Tradition http://www.luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html I hope this helps, if you have additional questions, please return to this post and inquire. (I renamed your topic for clarity)

Disposal is more than tossing something in the trash. Please bear in mind that when we "dispose" of a work we aren't getting rid of it, we are taking it back into the every day world. It is an act that takes the privacy of prayer and spiritual work and directly ties it into the world we live it. We disperse from us and bring things to us at the crossroads, we send things away by the flow of water, we fix things into the ground by buring it, we invoke the spirits of the dead to help us by burying at a graveyard and so on and so forth. These are more than symbolic acts--these are powerful ways of harnessing the power of the natural world and bringing it into our work, or perhaps taking our work to the natural world. These traditions cannot be done away with without taking something valuable away from the work.

So if your crossroad is too heavily trafficked, go at night when it wont be. Find a cozy little crossroad that isn't used often.
Unless you live in the desert there will be some form of moving natural water--if not then you have the option of the crossroads.
You cannot bury something in your own yard? It's your yard. Does it matter if your neighbors see? Is their opinion more valuable then what you desire to accomplish with your work?
It doesn't matter if there is a road right outside a graveyard. You are looking for the aid of the spirits, not the people driving by.

I understand your hesitation--your apprehension, but don't live such a life that your decisions are based off of fear and anxiety. It is your life, live it.

So to answer your question, no do not toss in the trash and do not flush. If one way of disposal is unrealistic for you then work with another. These traditions are versatile.

Offerings left out for saints are often given back to nature for the animals to eat, if the offering was food. Water is also given to a plant, alcohol evaporates easily, and flowers are also disposed of in nature. None of the offerings that I have given have ever been difficult, or cumbersome. Cake can be crumbled and tossed for the birds, the same with bread, and water can be given to the trees or flowers. This is if the offering was something you left on the altar. Remember that offerings can also come in the form of charity; donations of clothes, food, and money; and in the form of ex votos and candles.

Many of the Catholic workers who do work with the saints generally ask for intercession for charitable and benevolent acts so disposal of wax from these candles can be done via burial in the front yard, or scattered on the lawn. For those materials that need to be buried away from the home you can do so at a crosroads or river.

As a professional rootworker I have lots of wax to dispose of and never found disposal quite an issue.

As to the other traditions, I cannot speak to them for this forum is dedicated to conjure and hoodoo.

Conjureman Ali recently wrote a really good post and explanation regarding disposal of ritual remains here:
candles-disposal-of-ritual-remains-t7525s90.html

All I can say is that it's not where you live that matters, it's your focus and your intent. If you are determined to do the work and to do it properly, you will find a way to do so. To be overly concerned about neighbors or being observed or things of that nature, take the power and focus away from your intent and your work and could diminish the effect. Of course, I am still a newbie to hoodoo and rootwork, and so you should really read what the practitioners have said about such things, and the above post is a great place to start. Good Luck

My "Come to Me" Candle is almost done burning and I had placed my name paper underneath it for about a month. It contain a person's name and photo too of the person that I am attracting.

1) What is proper way to disposal of the name paper?

2) I read to bury it in the yard where I live, but there is too much negative energy and I am afraid that it will counteract what I am doing. Should this buried paper need to be near my home to get this personhere or where I bury doesn't matter?

3) Can I bury the name paper in a another place away from my home?

Help needed. Thanks.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 12:29 pm

wildbunch33,

1) It is clear to me from reading your questions that you do not yet understand this work. The name-paper is a spell remnant -- and you should make a disposal choice based on what you want. and, truly, you do have choices. There is no one way to finish off the work.

You could wear the name paper in your brassiere. You could burn it with a prayer to God. You could bury it in your yard to draw the person to you. And there are more choices -- lots of them.

The point i am trying to make here is that you need not bury a name paper from a vigil candle spell at all!

The spell is a spell of FIRE. You could just as well to burn the paper in the last remnants of the candle flame with a prayer to God for success.

Please read the following helpful web page on "Laying Down Tricks and Disposing of Ritual Remains," which is part of my online free book "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice.:

http://luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html

The section you would want is called "Disposal in Fire" -- and the paragraph you will learn from begins with the words "Disposing of a petition paper in fire after burning a candle is an old traditional practice..."

The spell is also a spell of LOVE. You could just as well to keep the paper in your underwear drawer, or eat it, or place it between the box springs and mattress of your bed.

2) If your home place has negative energy toward the person you want to attract, it makes no difference if you bury the paper or burn it -- the spell will fail. You cannot invite someone to "Come to Me" if the place they are coming to is hostile.

3) If you bury the name-paper somewhere else, away from your home, you are grounding the spell to THAT location, not to your home. If you want the person to go to some city park or to Paris, France, you can bury the paper in the city park or mail it to Paris, France.

I would like to recommend that you work with a magical coach for a while, until you understand this work more deeply.

You can arrange for magical coaching in ten minute sessions (for $10.00 per session) with several members of the Association of Readers and Rootworkers who are also on this forum, including Miss Bri, ConjureMan Ali, and myself, miss cat.

Thanks ConjureMan Ali,

In retrospect, what you say seems pretty intuitive...return the offereing/gift to where it originally came...nature...or in the case of non perishables...to charity. I really should have thought of this because I always thank the Father for the creation of the material used and the Spirit for imbuing it with his power.

I just concluded a white candle magic spell for one of my coworkers who is recovering from cancer. I read on the Lucky Mojo site how to do the work, and I think I did just fine, but I just want to make sure the spell is complete. Today was day 7 -- the final day of burning the candle and my question is, does that conclude the spell? Or is there anything else I need to do? This was a blessing so I'm assuming I don't have to cleanse or purify myself for protection but I want to make sure this was all done right.

Also, how do I dispose of the candle? I can't use it again because her name is carved in it and I don't want to just throw it away, is there a procedure for this?

Thanks,
Ophelia

Hi folks! Does anyone have any tips on how to dispose of ritual remains when you have no yard, but your spell calls for disposal there? I live in an urban apartment building and sadly don't have a jackhammer to break through the concrete next to our front stoop.

There is a school building right across the street from me that has a field next to it, and I've considered burying my remains out there. I've also considered a different form of disposal altogether, such as leaving it at a crossroads (it's the remains from the psychic vision spell I did, so I'm not 100% sure that would be appropriate).

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only urban dwelling hoodoo practitioner out there! If anyone has any tips or tricks for how to deal with a no-yard situation, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm sure this has been asked and answered a hundred times, and I remember Miss Bri once mentioning a Jewish bowl spell, though I can't remember where exactly or how to go about creating one, but (and go ahead and kick me if you must, I understand!) what do you do with wax remains when the ground is too hard for you to bury it? I live in a northern state, we're currently locked into a major freeze, there's snow on the ground, and the dirt near my front door is difficult to deal with even in the middle of summer. I also can't have a large indoor pot for it - matter of logistics, space, and housemates - though I suppose I could get away with one small one, but then that raises the question of is it ok to bury several remains in one pot? I don't quite know what else to do with my remains. Suggestions?

Hi,

I need to undo a candle spell, it was not a crossing/hexing spell, it was more of a controlling/love type of thing. The wax remains are buried in my yard, so I can dig them up, but am unsure what to do from there, as far as "dismantling" the spell is concerned. Would it work to pour Jinx Killer bath wash onto the wax? Or should I use Cast Off Evil oil in some water?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

If you are trying to undo the work from a love spell peacefully. Then dig up the remains, place them in a fire-proof bowl with some Florida Water and light it on fire while praying that the work be cleansed off of the people and that the work be undone.

Tossing it into the fire destroys the work.

There are various ways of disposing of ritual bath water.
See: http://www.luckymojo.com/baths.html
for more information.

Typically, if I want to draw something towards me I will stand with my back facing the rising sun and throw the water over my right shoulder and say my prayer, and then walk away without looking back. If I want to get rid of something I will stand with my front facing the rising sun, my back to the west, and throw the water over my left shoulder, saying my prayer. That is ONE of many ways to dispose of ritual bath water.

take care,
Bri

Hey everyone, now I personally use the bath crystals and they qet my day enerqized and refreshed. Also brinqs in luck to my work, it sucks because I qotta airdry and the WINTER was the horrible time since I could catch a cold and all walkinq home LOL.

But my question is, the crossroads is a 4 way street correct? 4:00-5:00am...people where I stay is 24/7 up and at 'em....does this mean I can also do it on a one way street as well? Or a 4-way intersection...just sayin...? I don't care how I do it, as lonqs as my moms dnt qet in my business at 6 n the mornin' lol.

You dispose of it at a crossroads, a four way is very traditional. The fact that there are people who may see you changes nothing, it doesn't mean you cans suddenly use a one way street....

Different people define a cross roads in different ways. Like Turnsteel said, a 4 way stop is traditional, some people will tell you that there needs to be a light nowadays--in the olden days a crossroads was usually a more travelled part of the road--where two or more roads intersected. When we dispose of ritual water at a crossroads we are hoping that the intention, prayers, and energy that water holds will be dispersed by many travellers--so a populated crossroads is a GOOD thing.
Blessings,
Bri

Hi Dr. Calamus,

Dr.CalamusSweetflag wrote: If you are facing east then you must turn and face west, throw the bath water over your left shoulder and you are not to look back. Another method is to toss your bath water out your front door to the sun rising in the east which means you are actually facing your toss. Would you turn west and toss over your left shoulder in this method as well? What is the hoodoo significance on the "over the left shoulder" part? Ms. cat indicated in the late 60's about drive by disposals from ones car window. The reason I ask is I notice my Asian neighbors every morning tossing out a bowl full of liquid as well as many others state they do this as well.

There are a couple of ways one can both throw over one's left shoulder and toward the rising sun at a crossroads. If one is walking east toward the crossroads, one can turn south and throw into the center of the crossroads, toward the rising sun with one's left hand (this is easier with a cup of water, as opposed to a full basin, and is perfectly adaptable to a car one is driving, if one is driving a standard issue US automobile with the steering wheel on the left). If the crossroads is in the West, one could walk to and through the crossroad on the North side of the road, and then turn South to cross the road one has been traveling, and throw to the center of the crossroads with the left hand as one crosses. In both cases, one keeps walking, and makes a big circle back to home.
Tossing a pail of water out the front may be part of bathing, or it may be part of house cleaning--when spiritually cleansing a house or business, many people wash and mop from top to bottom and back to front, finally throwing the wash water out the front door to get rid of the old and stagnant, before using an attraction wash to wash inwards from the sidewalk into the home or place of business to draw love/money/luck. That said, why not ask your neighbors what the significance of their daily ritual may be?

I did a money-draw spell and put the remains in my "rainy day fund" jar, because I live in a northern state and we're quite snowed in at the moment, and when we're not the ground is too hard to break. When the remains went in, there was nothing but some loose change in it. Now there's a nice little cache of cash. I was nervous about doing it that way, because I've never heard of anyone else doing it, but it seems to have worked out rather well. While I try to stick to the tried and true methods, sometimes you don't have a choice but to get creative with your efforts, and in this instance it's worked out far better than I'd hoped.
