Road Opener Oil Questions and Answers

Star_princess · Unread post by **Star_princess** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:38 am

When anointing an offertory candle with Road Opener Oil, do you go up or down? You are removing obstacles, but at the same time you are opening the road, so that's why I'm not sure whether to go up or down.

Star_Princess: I have heard different people do it each way for the reasons you noted. I personally work from the base up to the wick to bring new chances, new open roads, and concentrate on what will open for you after removing the obstacles. I have seen workers who will go from wick to base and concentrate mainly on removing the obstacle before concentrating on the Opening of New Roads. Since you are doing the spellwork for yourself, how do you feel about it?

Star_princess · Unread post by **Star_princess** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:15 pm

Well, I wasn't really sure which direction was the right way to go, because you're removing obstacles and opening up new roads at the same time. Could you do both, like go from base to wick and then annoint the candle again and go from wick to base? Or just do one or the other? So in other words, either up or down is ok?
Thanks for help Joseph.

Star_princess, your question is an interesting one, given the nature of Road Opener, but you are also getting into an area far beyond what can be described in simple terms in a thread about how to use this oil. You see, the question is not so much about Road Opener Oil (although i know YOU think it is) but about how candles are dressed.

Your rules about drawing and repelling (which way is up and which way is down) -- even the concept that all work can be divided into drawing and repelling! -- are not by any means universal rules. There is no central authority in conjure as you might find in other systems of religion or magic. Rather, the entire question brings up other, much more cogent issues of lineages of teachers, regional customs, personal preferences, spirit-led techniques, and book l'arnin'.

The four most famous books on hoodoo candle work are as follows (in order of original publication):

Legends of Incense Herb and Oil Magic by Louis deClaremont
The Guiding Light to Power and Success by Mickhail Strabo
Master Book of Candle Burning by Henri Gamache
The Magic Candle by Charmaine Dey.

The first came out in the mid 1930s, the next two came out in the early 1940s and the last one came out in the 1960s.

All four of them show differing ways to anoint an offertory candle with oil -- including up, down, half up / half down -- and more.

You can study with someone like me and i will give you all the details of all the systems and tell you from my experience why and how they work within their own internally self-consistent modalities, but i have no intention of promoting one rule-set in this forum.

Actually I like Van Van (http://www.luckymojo.com/vanvan.html) for that purpose Star_princess...it clears away evil, provides magical protection, opens the road to new prospects, changes bad luck to good, and empower amulets and charms

Thanks Miss Cat and Jwmcclin for the information. I will check those books out that you listed, very informative. It seems like Van Van and Road Opener are very similiar to each other and both are for the same purposes, so how would you know which one to get (Van Van or Road Opener)?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 6:28 pm

I don't see Road Opener as all that similar to Van Van, nor do i use them for the same purposes. I know that what goes into them is different, and my intention when i make them is different.

Road opener removes blockages. It unlocks doors and puts an end to delays. It pushes aside those who stand in the way. It clears a path.

Van Van cleans up dirty things, and brings freshness and good luck to dank and tedious situations. I have never used Van Van for road opening. I use it as as essentially the oil form of Chinese Wash -- to "clear away that evil mess." and to bring light, airy, tangy goodness to dark musty places.

Star_princess, have you read the description for Road Opener (http://www.luckymojo.com/roadopener.html)

Star_princess · Unread post by **Star_princess** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:40 pm

Jwmcclin,

Yes, I read the description for Road Opener and it says to peform the spell during the waxing moon.

Thanks Miss Cat for explaining the differences between the two. I thought the two were similiar because someone else on this thread said that Van Van removes blockages.

I think the reason why people get van van and road opener confused is because in the Van Van description it says "opens door to new opportunities"

I love van van for refreshing in between readings for each client.

Hi, I was wondering how to use Road Opener Oil when I want someone from another state to move to where I

EmmieB --

For your specific situation, i recommend that you add to your Road Opener Oil the following two oils:

Come To Me Oil
Follow Me Boy Oil

newbie2012,

First off, Lucky Mojo brand Road Opener Oil comes with herbs right in the bottle, so you don't need to add any. In fact, plenty of people kinda fish the herbs out with toothpick to use them alongside the oil.

Second, if you want to know how to use herbs, and to look at lists of herbs grouped by their uses, you ought to get a copy of my book "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic." We sell it in our catalogue, on the books page.

Third, there is a quick-list of herbs grouped by type here, at our web site:

I am having a situation which I discussed more in depth, in the FWP thread. I have applied for a Section 8 apartment, as I can not get a job while living in the house that my MIL owns & pays for. She will not allow me to let my 15 yr.old stay at the house, unless I'm there. Anyway, I saw the ad for these places in teh paper so I'm pretty sure they have units available. To add greater insult to injury w/my situation, the water pump went out on my car & I can't get it fixed until after I get the place. I made the mistake of telling my husband that I had the taxes DD'd into my bank account, so his mother ended up getting involved & I promised her that I would give what was left after fixing my car, to shut them up. The whole reason I'm taking the large refund is because a) he will spend it on drugs, b) I need the money to get me & my kids out, & c) I can't trust her not to give it to him anyway! It was VERY obvious that he was shooting dope a couple of weeks ago & she STILL handed over $5,000 to him, because she felt bad that I won't let him back in the house & he wouldn't go to her house when she gave him the ultimatum to quit calling her names or leave, & his dope whore put him out because he was acting paranoid & scaring her. That is an entirely different can of worms though. The headline is that I need this apartment yesterday! Then I can get my car fixed & feel safe again, as I'll be abe to set up a dummy address to keep him away. All I have at my house is a few candles, RO oil, Crown of Success oil, & Crown of success incense. Should I write my petition & burn the incense with an anointed candle (RO/Crown of Success oil) that I've carved the petition into? Also, would backing it up with LM lighting an RO vigil on the church altar make it more powerful?

AlyssaH, yes, with the products that you have that would work perfectly. You might also petition Our Lady of Loretto, who helps people with rental situations.

Hi all,
I recently bought some Road Opener oil that I am planning on using as a component to some work I want to do to help me find a new job. The original plan was to use it to dress a seven-day candle along with some success herbs, but after reading more about the oil and how it works, it seems like a better idea for me to use some High John oil (which I'm in the process of making, with some LM High John root chips

) on the candle. In retrospect, it would have made more sense to go with Steady Work or Crown of Success. However, due to budget constraints, I thought Road Opener might be more useful to me as it's a little more versatile, especially since I am also preparing to apply for the Phlebotomy program at my school, which I may have some trouble getting into due to some legal issues I've had in the past year and a half (marijuana possession and a DUI, both misdemeanors). Incidentally, the legal issues are the main obstacles I want to knock down in order to find a better job. I'm thinking of, after doing the candle work, anointing my body with it when I go out to apply to jobs, as well as interviews. Is this a good use for it? If so, should I anoint my body from top to bottom to clear away obstacles, or should I anoint from bottom to top? I've been practicing magic since my early teens, but I am fairly new to rootwork. However, the few Hoodoo-style workings I've performed have been very successful, so I know I can make this work. I would just like to know that I am doing things properly and educate myself before attempting anything.

Also, would Road-opener be a good product for ridding yourself of writer's block? I'd really like to start writing again and, if possible, make a career out of it. I don't know of any LM products that are specifically for stimulating creativity, but I figured a combo of Road Opener and Crown of Success would be a good start. Does anyone else know of products that are made for this purpose?

Hi veggiekiller420,

Road Opener and Crown of Success would work well together for writer's block. A bit of Clarity or John the Conqueror might also be a good choice.

Hey guys. I just finished my Road Opener vigil lighting and I must say... Things for me are seeming to get worse! My empathic friend whom does my readings can not figure out why this is happening right now because she saw things getting better so my question is... Is this normal?

I'm sorry I haven't read all your replies

but have you done a reversal/protection/uncrossing spell/bath/ritual all of the above?

In saying that sometimes things seem to get worse before they improve to move your situation to where you want it aligned. As a broad example or two, you want better money in your job, so you lose your job inly to walk into a better one with so many more benefits that you love even more. Or if you are trying to breakup/reconcile with someone, they move in with a person and realise it is so very very wrong and come hurtling back to you.

I have seen these type of things happen before so I hope this may give you hope.

Thank you for replying and I think where I still need work is doing full blown uncrossing work. I actually just did a uncrossing bath but perhaps I should've lit a vigil along with it to really give it tge extra UMPH. The situations I'm dealing with is gonna take some time so I'll keep trying till I can't no more.

Unread post by **Miss Phoenix** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:52 am

TheBestest, yep, Uncrossing is exactly what I would suggest. A 13 herb bath is never going to hurt and anytime I feel off, uncertain, or concerned that something isn't quite right I do a 13 herb bath. Also, you might want to set up some protections for yourself. Make sure that you are cleansing your home as well as your person. Burn some protection candles or do a more formal ritual/spell for protecting your home. This will help to keep the cleansing work last longer and get you back on track.

Hey all! I read someone once say that they light Road Opener Vigil lights every month. Is this necessary or can I just work with that every other month? I did Road opening this month and also did some Uncrossing, so is thid necessary?

Unread post by **aura** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 7:02 am

''Is it necessary?'' is one of those questions like ''Which spell is strongest?'' It's necessary if your situation calls for it, otherwise no. Do you need a steady stream of blockbusting right now? Have the roads opened up? Answering those questions will help you ascertain if it is necessary or not. You work until you get satisfaction. If you've uncrossed and the roads are open, then try some drawing work to bring in what you need.

My target and I are friends with benefits who enjoy each other's company outside the bedroom. He used to initiate conversation and plan going out for drinks and to his place, and he recently stopped. He's flirty when I text him, and he says we should hang out, but doesn't make plans or say anything I reply with something positive (that could encourage him to make concrete plans).

Hello, Mezan,

Blockbuster breaks down the barriers.

Road opener leads you to the right roads.

Yes, you would have to redo the other candles afterwards because now you are having less resistance. It should make your new spells reach the target easier and cut down the resistance that the target may be having.

i bought some LM Road Opener Oil to remove blocks between reuniting with my ex-boyfriend. However, I used for a completely different reason this week and had amazing results.

I forgot to pay a speeding ticket and last week I received notification my driver's license had been suspended. It was after business hours when I received the letter and the next day I immediately paid the fines and reinstatement fee for my license. Prior to going to pay the fines and fees I read it could take up to 4-5 days to have the license reinstated after paying the fine. I dabbed some Road Opener Oil on all the letters, tickets and my driver's license. I also lit an orange candle for legal matters and asked that that any and all obstacles to having my license reinstated before the end of the week be removed and that my license be reinstated the next day. Guess what happened? My license was reinstated the next day. I am so happy
