Is it possible to bury the remains of different spells like attraction,
Fast luck, money drawing and others positive spells in
The same pot or do I have to separate it in different pots?

Can anyone advise me on the above mentioned.... =)
Thanks so much.

You could put it all in one potted plant or you can separate success work in one, and love work in the other

I am ready to make a packet with the items from a skull candle work I just completed. Should I include the glass plate that cracked underneath the candle or should I remove it? It can be perceived as a negative object. The work was to give clarity and wisdom to someone and I dont want to mess up the results by disposing the items improperly.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:34 pm

It is not a good sign that the glass plate cracked, and i can only attribute it to your lack of experience with fire work that you used a glass plate in the first place.

When these sorts of things used to happen to me (yes, i was new to this work once as well!), i disposed of everything respectfully, and repeated the spell -- but correctly this time, with a brass plate that stands on a rim, on a fireproof surface.

Acquisition of a proper altar tools is important because good tools make the work go easily and that easiness frees our minds to concentrate on the work, and not on the tools breaking, crumbling, or cracking beneath us.

Thanks Cat.
You are right I didnt think that the plate would crack until the end. So is it ok to include the broken glass and bury it with the candle wax?

I will repeat the spell although I do think it worked. By repeating it will just reinforce the first spell.

This particular ritual was to remove mental depression and whatever is clouding the targets mind and filling it with clarity and wisdom. I thought that the breaking of the glass could be representing him 'breaking free' of the illness?

Definitely getting a brass plate!

Hi, BellaMars --

Sorry if i was unclear. When i wrote, "i disposed of everything respectfully," i meant that yes, i did include the cracked saucer in with the rest of the items for disposal. In my case the disposal was in water, in yours by burial. I was trying to speak most generally, so that the information would be applicable to anyone who encountered this sort of event, no matter what form of disposal was in their plans, burial, river, ocean, crossroads, graveyard, etc.

This is the 2nd night I light a white candle dressed with LM clarity oil for someone (this person doesn't know I've been helping them with clarity work), the first night everything was fine, the candle burnt very clean, smooth and strong, there was almost no left over wax. Tonight, It seemed like everything was fine like the first night, the flame was strong and straight, but after the wax was gone, it still continued to burned for 3-5 mins as the wick was still there and the flame was incredibly strong! Then CRACK it broke my candle holder which was enchanted to make the spell twice stronger... I heard that it is an extremely bad sign if the candle holder crack, but it's also a good sign that the flame is strong... and this is clarity spell, not some break up spell. So what is the meaning of this?

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:33 pm

If your candle holder was glass, then this may very well just be a case of the glass getting too hot and shattering. Glass holders shouldn't be burned down to the socket, because the extreme heat will break the glass like you described.

If you were not using a glass holder, then you may wish to have some divination done to see what is going on.

Shany · Unread post by **Shany** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:36 pm

Yes it was a glass candle holder so I guess nothing abnormal is going on? What about the meaning of candle continued to burn strong after the wax has completely burned out?

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:36 pm

The wick retain wax and will continue to burn until all the wax has been consumed from the wick itself.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:43 pm

Yes, it's a BAD SIGN if your glass candle holder breaks. A broken glass candle holder means that you are not yet experienced enough to be casting strong or effective spells. It's a sign that you are more of a dreamer than an adept.

Glass candle holders are for "pretty," not for altar work. Use a brass or steel candle holder.

Please dispose of the broken glass holder as you would any other remains from a spell that failed.

Shany · Unread post by **Shany** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:54 pm

Cat, thank you for the advice but I'm kinda hurt and confused what do you mean by I'm just a dreamer? Indeed I am not a adept since this is my first time working with a dressed candle.. I got freaked out so I came here seeking help. Everybody started with a zero experience, didn't they? All I did was dressing a candle and prayed upon it and then it broke my candle holder (which I bought from a spell caster whom used it on all of her rituals). It wasn't anything strong, out of ordinary nor I expected it to end up that way... I don't know why I feel like you are mad at me for being a newbie and suggested that I should stop dreaming of casting a spell... I'm sorry for asking too many questions then.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:11 pm

Shany, being a dreamer is not being "wrong" but it is not being an adept. It is learning spells from imagination and not from a teacher -- or from a book and not from a family member.

I did not mean to hurt your feelings, but i am honest -- it takes experience and practice to do this work. It is a long-time, old-style tradition. You would not expect to go out onto a baseball field and join the major leagues and hit a home run on your first try. And you should not be hurt if your coach said, "Well, you have an IDEA here, but you need to work hard before that dream becomes a reality."

I was not attempting to discourage you, but i was speaking against the league of feel-good folks who hate to tell anyone, especially a newbie, that they got a classic, really obvious, folklorically well known bad sign. But you did. And, like i said, if you had had a family member, teacher, experienced friend, or magical coach by your side, you would have been instructed from in front not to use a glass candle holder for altar work.

And remember, you are NOT the only one -- just a few posts before you, there was someone whose glass plate broke under their candle. The post was titled, "Do I bury the glass plate that cracked under my candle?" And in reply to that post i said the same thing i am telling you: "It is not a good sign that the glass plate cracked, and i can only attribute it to your lack of experience with fire work that you used a glass plate in the first place."

The use of glass with candles -- and the glass's almost invariable breakage -- is a common newbie error. It is caused by imagination taking the place of training or experience, such as the dream of magic that is inspired by seeing films and television shows with pretty glass candle holders, so sparkly, so totally cool looking (but there is a prop master on the set to replace those that crack, or to put the candles out before the glass overheats)...

Again, no offense was intended, no intention was felt to hurt your feelings, but the cracked glass which some wishful folks would like to see me explain away as "just a glass cracking" is more than that to me -- to a practical root worker, it is a bad sign, a sign of failed work, and an outcome to be avoided through learning the use of good, suitable, magically appropriate tools.

Hello to all!

I've been reading almost all of the topics in here for some time and I really like this forum

I'm not in the US, nor anywhere near, I am actually in Peru so I've been dying to try some things you guys post here but it's quite difficult!

I looked in the lucky mojo website in the topic about how to get rid of ritual remains and such but I am still a bit confused, I am really sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the exact answer...

Well this is what happened: I went out with this guy for some time (2 months approx) back in 2009, even if it was such a short period of time, I am still not too sure but I think I fell in love with him. Trying to forget about him was the worst thing I've ever been through, we stopped seeing each other in September because he just all of a sudden and I swear it was something like one day he loved me and two days alñter he decided this wasn't good for us and he wanted to jsut be friends. And when I thought it was all over and done with, even if it did cost me so much time and suffering, in January he came back to me. We never really had a real relationship but saw each other just for fun, no one even knew we where seeing each other again and it was more physical than anything else.

I thought I had no feelings for him anymore but then all of a sudden he did the same thing again but this time he just announced that he had a girlfriend and then just stopped talking to me. I didn't do anthing but kept on talking to him and seeing him while he was with her.

That's when I realised I had been in love with him all along, but I didn't know if it was just an obsession or real love because I could never stop thinking about him, I just wanted him for me.

So after a really, really long time that I had been looking everywhere for a love spell or a binding spell and because I really didn't want to do it by myself I contacted someone in my city that could help me. This woman did a binding spell for me and now I don't know if it was done well or not but still, two months after she did it nothing happened. In fact, if something did happen is that he seems to have moved on because before I did the spell he still wanted to talk to me and see me.

Now, about 2 years after all of this happened, I am really sure I want to move on. I feel this is just tormenting me and I can't live anymore thinking about him all the time because I think it's unhealthy.

The woman that did the spell for me gave me some kind of mojo bag with a petition inside and I have the remains of a candle I burned that was part of the spell. I really want the effects of this spell to end, I don't want anything to do with it and I really need help in how to get rid of them. I thought about burning them but then it doens't make much sense since it's the remains of a candle... What should I do?

I really need help please, I just want to move on and live in peace with myself. I think it's finally time for me after these two long years to be happy again and forget about him and let him move on too. Help me please. And if there is something I can do, I was thinking about a cut and clear spell? Is this appropiate for my situation? You have no idea how much I had to struggle with myself to finally take this decision, but I am not willing to look back anymore.

Thank you so much!

Burning the remains in fire -- yes, even the candle remains -- is appropriate and traditional. See details on this Hoodoo in Theory and Practice page called "Laying Tricks and Disposing of Ritual Remains":
http://luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html

A Black Walnut Bath, followed by a Cut and Clear spell, would then be most suitable.

Good Luck!

Since we're on the subject of cracked glass, is it ok to use a vigil candle if the glass arrives with a crack? I had a rather large order, and all of the other candles were in excellent condition but this particular one was... well... a bit malformed. Very slight crack in the glass at the top and the wax was higher on one side than on the other when I took it out of the box. I went ahead and used it anyway, even though I was a bit nervous about the uneveness of the wax, and everything appears to have gone quite smoothly (it was a bit ironic, actually, since the person I'm working on is in fact totally out of balance, and it was a KS Wisdom), but I'd like to know for future reference if, in a case like that, it's better not to use it for root work and to just use it as a pretty candle.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:34 am

I wouldn't use a cracked vigil for safety reasons more than anything else. Heat can easily cause the glass to crack worse, or even crack in a way that pieces of glass are expelled outwards. This can cause a huge mess of melted wax pouring out, and you also don't want to mess with a fire hazard like that, not to mention the hazard that glass shards can cause.

TruthSeeker333 · Unread post by **TruthSeeker333** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:46 am

What about when a candle just won't burn? I think it's due to a rookie mistake. It's my my first time using powders in a candle, along with oil on the wick. I let the wick sit loaded w/ oil like that for a day and it got really saturated so when I did light the wick it completely burnt up the entire wick so that there was less than a couple millimeters of wick left to even ignite. Not to mention I made the mistake of NOT trimming my wick before I began.

Rather than take it as a bad sign, I'd like to just start over. That said, since this was cleansing work for someone else and the candle didn't even burn, how would I dispose of the glass encased candle that is basically still full of wax? I normally recycle my glass candles, but I know the recycling company won't take it when it's full of wax like this. Thanks in advance!

I just received everything in the mail for the 3 Candle Love Spell. I'm planning on getting started on it, but, after re-reading the spell, I realized that I need a backyard for disposal/clean-up. I live in an apartment complex that doesn't have separate backyards, just community areas for the the children to play. Is there another means of disposal, or somewhere else I can bury the remnants?

Thanks,
T.M.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:22 pm

This is a question about disposal of ritual remains, and is not specific to the spell in question.

If you do not have a backyard, you have several choices on how to dispose of materials which you want to keep working around you:

1) On the grounds or commons of your apartment co0mpex, if there are grounds.

2) In a park at the base of a friendly and strong old tree.

3) In a house plant that you keep around your home.

Hey all — some time back I wrote about a "road opener" spell I did that seemed to work a little too well. I had many suggestions to use 13 herb bath, but was unable to purchase any until very recently.

I did finally get a little money together and bought a few cleansing items (for future use too): a packet of 13-herb bath, a bar of Florida Water soap, a small bottle of Florida Water cologne, and some small white candles. Here's what I plan to do:

Tomorrow is the full moon AND it's the end of my cycle, so I'll be doing this tomorrow. I'll brew up the 13-herb bath as instructed, then divide it in half. The first half I'll use to bathe myself by standing in a bucket in my shower (no tub! apartment life!) and pour it over myself 13 times, repeating the 37th psalm each time. It'll take forever to read that psalm 13 times in a row, but I'm gonna do it. When I'm done I'll hang on to the bucket of 13-herb water and let myself air dry.

After that I am going to scrub the floors in my apartment. Kitchen floor is yucky old linoleum and I normally use hot water with a little bleach. To this I'll add a bit of the remaining brewed 13-herb bath, a few drops of Van-Van oil, a splash of Florida Water, and Florida Water soap gratings — I'll drag the soap across the grater 13 times.

The rest of my apartment is hardwood floors. Same setup as for the kitchen, except with liquid soap instead of bleach.

After that I'll dip 4 white candles in the 13-herb bath, and burn one in each room. While those are burning, I'll use whatever's left of the 13-herb bath and wipe down my door frames — from top to bottom, rubbing down, then when I get to the bottom I'll wipe across the threshold in an "out" motion. Front door and back door. Oh, and my altar too, but not with 13-herb bath, probably just Florida Water.

Let me say that I am about as determined as you can imagine to "cleanse."

Two questions — is there anything that can be done with the leftover waters other than dump them in a crossroads? These are going to have a lot of filthy chemicals and such, I really would rather not poison Spruce Creek. These can't just be dumped down the drain? Also — is there anything here in general that anyone would recommend against?

Thanks so much, and also for everyone's suggestions with my previous post!
Take care,
—Paula

The realtor who shows my apartment found my vinegar jar and threw it away. He said it looked nasty and could turn away buyers. I know, wasn't his place.

What does this mean for the spell that I tried to create with that jar? Will it unravel itself now that it was disposed of improperly? The jar was only three weeks old. Perhaps this means it wasn't meant to work anyway but I am more curious as to the ramifications of improperly disposed of remains.

Thanks

You'll have to start the work again, I think.

But for heaven's sake, how did he find the vinegar jar? Was it sitting on the counter? Put it someplace private when you're not actually working with it. Or put it in an opaque container so nosyparkers can't see what's in the jar.

Also, dress the new jar -- or the whole apartment! -- with Law Keep Away so the realtor will turn a blind eye to your work. Quote him in so it doesn't affect anyone or anything else.

MissMichaele, I kept the jar in the bathroom behind the toilet under the water tank. I read on here that that was a good place to keep these sorts of things so I thought it was best to let it be and let the energies develop. I guess it was easy to spot given I don't keep anything out but I never thought this man would have the nerve to touch my things! lesson learned.

I never felt quite right about that jar so I wonder if this was a message. either way, thanks for the tips too.

I was wondering what some of you do to clean vigil candles after they are done burning. remnant disposal is simple enough but is there more to do with them then just that? i do keep the glass from them after they are done.. but for like negative type works of any kind what else must be done with them to remove any negative energies remaining?

You can clean them with chinese wash, florida water, uncrossing bath crystals, buffalo ammonia, and you probably could cleanse them with some baking soda, salt, and uncrossing herbs such as eucalpytus, rue, hyssop

This is in regards to disposing a portion of the bath water to a crossroad. There is a crossroad nearby my house. Since it was said that toss the water on your left shoulder towards the west without looking back. I drive down that crossroad on a daily basis. Isn't it like looking forward at that road you have tossed that water? So my bathing would be ineffective cause it seems like I have looked backwards from the road by which I have toss my bathing water?

Also for a daily 13 days of bathing, could I toss some of my reamaining bathe water in the same corssroad for 13 days daily or do I need to find 13 different crossroads.

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:57 am

Don't overthink it that much. Just because you dispose at a crossroads doesn't mean you can't use that crossroads for your travel. A lot of older towns used to have just one crossroads, so you can imagine if such a restriction existed it'd make travel impossible. Plus even in our modern metropolis, you'd soon run out of alternate routes if you kept having to avoid the crossroads you just used.

Toss your work into the crossroads, ask that it be dispersed to the four corners of the world and walk away without worry and go about your day normally.

Hi muimui,

How you dispose of ritual remains will depend on the aim that you wish from your work. Miss Cat's on-line book ''HOODOO IN THEORY AND PRACTICE'' has the answers to both questions you ask in the section on laying tricks and disposing of ritual remains (http://www.luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html). I encourage you to consult it on-line as well as purchase a copy of her book on herb and root magic (http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodooherbmagic.html) which is a copendium of information.

Hoodoo existed for hundreds of years in the American South without glass encased vigil candles. They are relatively new and do not in any way come with the sanctification of your grandmother's day. I never used one myself until the 1970s.

Recycle glass; it is the ecological thing to do.

Hi mui mui,

if you have any potted plants in your house, you can bury it in underneath the house-plant. for under the bed, I've never worked this way (...for love work in my marriage I'm big on baked goods and honey jars LOL!...) but given that you're talking about a love spell, it does keep things working and draws ''close to home'' - sounds good. A more experienced rootworker could no doubt answer this more thoroughly.

Filled a spray bottle with bath water and spritzed the inside of his truck, his tires, and a business suit jacket he had hanging up in the truck. I hope "misting" is sufficient. Didn't want to be obvious and get it too wet. Left some more bath water under my porch and front steps too. He's coming back tues to do a few more things so I will be spritzing some more.

I have read the informaton on how to dispose of ritual remains but don't know what to do for candle remains that I've burned for the sale of an investment property in another state. I annointed a green votive candle with fast luck, money attraction, and pay me oils. Not sure if I bury the remains in the front yard, back yard, water, etc. The property I want sold is in another state so I'm doing the work at my home. I would appreciate your advise on how to properly dispose at my current home.

My apologies if I've posted in the wrong area.

You can bury the remains with a tree asking that as the trees roots are strong and grounded that so too will you be able to be rooted and grounded in your new home.

You can also place it in the front yard to draw it to you.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:34 pm

beautiful,

Why do you do your bath at night? Do you work a swing shift or night shift?

If you do, then night is your "morning" and you should dispose of the water at night.

If, on the other hand, you bathe at night because that's the way you like it, regardless of the tradition. then don't come to me asking when to dispose of the bath -- you've already gone and done your own thing, so keep on doing it. I mean, either be traditional, or don't.

It is not common to keep cold bathwater around for hours. It is usually poured out as soon as the bath is finished

When it comes to my floor washes, after i cleanse my floors, i was taught, being that i live in a three story apartment building, to pour the water down all of my drains in the house, toilet, sinks, and tub. It flows straight to running water. My methods are a bit different, sorry, I am just learning a lot bout hoodoo, i have practicied The Craft or Wicca for the past 11 years!

Alot of these responses are funny, so let me give my creative input. I was thinking to go unnoticed, i would drive through the crossroad slow, and chuck the water of my shoulder out the window, how does that sound!

Hi all,

I know for drawing spell, we should bury the ritual remains in the front yard, front garden, or bury in a potted plant which is closed to the front door of your house. And I usually bury the remains in the garden which is closed to my apartment.

But since I spent over 9 hours working at office, I am thinking is it a good idea to bury the remains in the potted plant which I put on the desk in my office?

Wifey and I both live together same apartment but in different rooms as we are estranged. As I learn here, Reconciliation work is in order so I'm ordering among others reconciliation
bath. A little bit confused as to disposing the water. Since its a bath, that's a lot of water. Do I take out the stopper after the bath and let ALL the water go down the drain or Must I save some to dispose it elsewhere and where exactly for a best result in reconciliation bath? Any time duration for the bath?

You want to gather a small cup or bowlful and toss it in your backyard to keep her at home, or somewhere where she'll walk through it.

Place the glasses into a recycling bin - don't litter please!
