Greetings Minions!

I was finally able to get the ‘Blood Moon’ candles all packaged, charged and blessed –

These smell absolutely amazing! The fragrance chosen is one that will inspire transformation – as well as getting in touch with the current things in your life that may be requiring change. Altar work for these candles followed a similar path.

These are available in a 6 cavity clamshell melting tart – ‘scentsy’ type.

2 oz aluminum travel tin – with lid

4 oz aluminum travel tin – with lid

The travel tins are perfect for using at home, or taking with you when you travel. They are handy to use in a hotel room, or in a guest room – to spruce up the air. Or, if you prefer to work your magick outside – they are great for that type of travel, as well.  I have had clients purchase travel tins of spell candles for workings in a parking lot, neighbors’ driveway, outside the home of their intended target…LOL  The possibilities are endless!

These items can be found in my Esty shop at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/InexplicableThings

Or on my website – Inexplicable Things at: http://www.inexplicablethings.com

I am proud to offer these babies with FREE (that’s right folks, FREE) Domestic Shipping!

Blood Moon Blood Moon Soy Candles Blood Moon Tarts

In addition to the ‘Blood Moon’ candles – I also have two remaining bottles of ‘Blood Moon Ghost Water’ – this water was transformed into a powerful spell or séance component when I left it over night during the Full Blood Moon in a nearby cemetery here in the bayou. Need to contact spirits or someone that has passed during the month of October – use this water to give your magick a little extra ‘oomph’ to get the job done!

The bottles are super cute and goth-y – I haven’t decorated them completely yet – for more customization. Tell me your colors and I will make it happen!

This holy grail of séance magick can be found both in my Etsy shop, as well InexplicableThings.com

More fantastical items being conjured daily, my lovelies! One more day and the greatest month of the year is upon us!!!

Blood Moon Rising

September is an important month.

It is a wonderful harvest month –

It draws summer to a close –

It gives us the first official days of Autumn –

It is the month preceding October (only the greatest month, ever!) –

And, most notably, the Full Moon in September 2015 is quite special. This month’s Blood Moon, which is also known as a Lunar eclipse, is the final moon in what is known as a tetrad – or the culmination of four eclipses and is said to foreshadow prophesies for several religions.

(Amazing artwork found at CatsEyeStudio on Etsy! https://www.etsy.com/listing/186373168/blood-moon-photo-surreal-full-moon-art?ref=market)

Cat's Eye Studio Moon

These Blood Moon Prophesies originated in the Book of Joel in the Hebrew Bible. There it is written that

‘the sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.’

This phrase is also stated during Pentecost by Saint Peter, and is referenced in the Book of Revelation Chapter 6 Verses 11-13. Verse 12 says, ‘And I behold when he had opened the sixth seal and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood’

Many feel that this is an omen of the coming of the end of times.

I do not always follow the lunar phases – as I have found ways around the mundane waiting a week here or week there – just to work some magick! *wink* – there are ways around this… more about that at a later time! But, I do enjoy a powerful Full Moon – especially one that could be a harbinger for the end of days!

So, for this reason, I am offering a special on my magickal mix called Ghost Water!

Miss Sha's Ghost Water!

Miss Sha’s Ghost Water!

Miss Sha’s Ghost Water is perfect for use with séances and medium work, speaking to ancestors or honoring them, banishment and repelling of negative energies, breaking harmful habits – just to name a few.

But, of course, it can also be used for more nefarious purposes as well. Have a neighbor you really want to get rid of? Need to sever a connection with a person in your life?

I have put a lot of time and energy into working out all the kinks to this formulary recipe. It is both time and trial tested – with amazing results! I have several contacts among the spirit world and the Dead that assist with the entire process.

For this foreboding Moon, I have a special swampy, forgotten cemetery in mind – and it’s sure to please! I will gather up the water and relinquish it to a few cutely decorated, yet adorably creepy little bottles and will have it ready for your personal use by October 1! Just in time to contact lost loves, family members that have passed, or just to get in touch with your macabre side.

I will also be including quartz crystals – hand mined by me – as an amplifier for the qualities of the Ghost Water!~

Bottles will be chosen at random, corked & wax-sealed for transport. They will also be prayed over upon my own personal working altar – prior to shipping to their new homes!

Last year, I did this for clients, and was sold out rather quickly. This year, I will be adding a few extra bottles, but will be a limited supply. If  you are interested in purchasing one of these bottles of Ghost Water, please let me know ASAP. No payment required until your bottle is ready.

First come, first serve!!

Please email me at: inexplicablethings@yahoo.com or visit my website at InexplicableThings.com!

If you have a particular matter in mind for your Ghost Water – let me know and I will make sure my prayer energies are directed towards your needs. If you have a particular ribbon color you wish – let me know that, as well. I will also email photos of the entire process, so you know how your bottle is progressing!

$13 bottles (plus shipping) of Blood Moon Ghost Water – hand crafted and conjured by a Swamp Witch in the back bayous of Louisiana! Perfect!

And please note – these will NOT be the tiny little faery bottles you see on Etsy and Ebay – these are at the very least, 3 oz or larger.

Orishas/Lwas 101

02 Wednesday Sep 2015

Posted by inxplicablethings in General Musings....

Ancestors, Baron Samedi, Bayou, Blog, Cajun, Cemetery, Curse, Damballa, Ghede, Hex, Hoodoo, Louisiana, Lwa, Orisha, Papa Legba, Swamp, Voodoo

Just a quick little explanation of what an Orisha is.

Orishas (also known as Loas, Lwas, Mysteries or The Invisible) are basically the Gods – or the ruling forces of nature, and all serve different areas of human needs. They embody the traits of those areas in nature that they rule over. It is important to note that there are, literally, hundreds of Orishas – and based upon the type of tradition (Yoruba, West African, Haitian, Louisiana, etc) one follows will determine what you call them. They are divided into roughly 20 or 21 nations, which include Rada, Petro, Nago and Congo. With that being said, there are several that are commonly called upon, offerings made to, etc., and they correspond with Catholic Saints. To further complicate matters, the Lwa also fall into families with surnames: Ezili, Ghede, Ogou, etc.

Family traits are often seen as follows:
Ezili hold sway over the feminine aspects of life
Ghede hold sway over death, but also fertility, which are led by the Barons
Ogou are the soldiers/warriors
Azaka are the farmers/agriculturists

Some of the more common Lwas are:

Damballa-Wedo: very powerful sky serpent in Haitian Voudou. Symbolizes peace and harmony, also known as Papa Damballa and is associated with Saint Patrick. Offerings for Papa Damballa are eggs on a mound of flour, corn syrup, chicken. His color is white. Older, wiser and full of wisdom.

Ayida Wedo: wife of Damballa. Is the rainbow in Haitian Voudou. Symbolizes trees, springs, pools, rivers. Colors are white and blue. She shares her husbands responsibilities in the Sky.

Agwe: Married to Erzulie and La Sirene. Patron to seas, rivers, fishermen, sea captains, pirates. Thursday is his day. He is the Lwa of direction, inspiration and guidance during times of loss.

Yemaya: Mother of life on Earth. She is the guardian of the Sea. Her sacred number is 7. Her colors are aqua blue, white, translucent colors. Her symbols are anchors, mermaids, fish, anything associated with the sea.

Baron Samedi: Haitian Voudou Lwa of the Dead. He is one of my personal favorite! When you watch TV or movies and you see the man with the skeleton face and top hat, usually smoking a cigar – this is who they are attempting to depict. He is loud, rude and full of debauchery – but he is never insulting or disrespectful. He is suave and an extreme expression of individuality, and always fun. His colors are red and purple. He loves Rum and hot peppers.

voodoo

Maman Brigitte: The good Baron’s wife! The equivalent of the Irish pantheons Brigitte. She is the Voudou Lwa of comfort and protection during death – letting go. She loves black roosters.

Obatala: The Supreme God Olodumare – the closest that humankind can imagine… the hand of God. Sky father and the creator of human bodies. The Father of all Orishas! He is often offered snails, as a traditional offering.

Erzulie: Haitian Voudou Orisha of love – protector of women. She takes on many forms from prostitute to fierce warrior to red-eyed weeping crone. She manifests deep passion and seduction. She is the equivalent of a Triple Goddess and she has three husbands (Damballah, Agwe, Ogoun. She loves sweet things – so for her altar, sweet foods, bananas, perfumes, anything fried with sugar.

Ogun: Lwa of iron, war and labor. Almost always used first for war. Ogun clears roads with his machete. Number 7 is his number and his colors are green and black.

Shango: Ruler of lightning, thunder, fire, drums and dance. He is a warrior with exceptionally quick wits and an even quicker temper. He is virility embodied. Extremely hot-blooded, strong willed. His colors are red and white, his numbers are four and six. He is often represented by a double headed ax.

And the last I will mention this evening, my dearest Papa Legba. Also known as Elegbara, Elegua, Eleggua. He is the gatekeeper, the guardian of the cross roads and all doorways. He is the first Orisha approached when you wish to speak or work with any of the others – he holds the keys. Not uncommon – keys in sets of three are his symbol. His colors are red and black and his numbers are 3 and 21. He is a trickster – you had better know what you want, or he will take the long way around helping to get you where you want to be. Believe me… I am speaking from experience. The outcome was rough…but it’s essentially what I asked for. … I just didn’t realize it would come at the expense of other things. Lesson learned and since – he has been my favorite to work with. But then, the crossroads is where I choose to dwell and practice my brand of darker magic and voudou.

il_340x270.430942269_1opk

These are just a few of the more common Lwa. Again, there are hundreds. And this, in no way, is in order of importance, etc. I use them for nearly everything – and they are most gracious… when they choose to be. They do require a great deal of energy and admiration. But it is well worth it in the long run. If you want to learn more about this – let me know, I can gladly give you some websites or reading lists.

Please do not confuse Voudou (Voodoo) with Hoodoo – as they are two separate and very different things. I, personally, practice both – but it has taken me many years to get to where I am.

If you have any questions about what I practice, please do not hesitate to ask. Nothing is taboo with me or my family. (My husband is a demonologist and takes it to a whole new level.) We are open books. We, most assuredly, do not profess to know everything – we are seekers of knowledge.

In my life, I have studied Stregheria, Celtic paths, Dianic, Shamanism, Druids, and many others, but when I embraced my dark side – this is where I became most powerful.

I shy away from nothing –

I fear no karma…

I take full responsibility for what I do.

And I do the things that many other practitioners do not.

There is a time and place for it.

I have cursed –

I have hexed –

I have done what my clients wanted but were afraid to do on their own.

I am a spiritual guide and confidant. I have been on my own personal path for over 40 years – loving every minute of it. So, again, feel free to ask me anything at all.

Graveyard Dust and Cemetery Dirt . . .

08 Monday Dec 2014

Cross II

Often times when you hear the words graveyard dust or cemetery dirt, it conjures up images of people sneaking into a cemetery in the dark of night and doing dastardly deeds in order to sell their soul to the devil for untold power, talent or riches. For people like myself, these words mean something much, much different.

Graveyard Dust and/or Cemetery dirt has been used for decades. When working with spirits, both benevolent and malevolent spirits call for the use of graveyard dirt. Depending upon the tradition followed, the dirt can be used for a number of different things. Some examples are: Divination, Protection, Hexing / Cursing, Necromancy, Ancestor Remembrance, Forcing someone to leave you alone, Enemy-Be-Gone, Love, and even Coercive matters. You can simply add it to your altar and let your imagination run wild!

Unfortunately, many people do not realize that not all graveyard dirt is equal. The dirt can be collected from different locations within the cemetery, as well as the inhabited graves that it is chosen from. It will make a difference in your spell work.

whose there

First, I will provide a list of the types of graves that I have successfully collected from and employed in my craft.

Abused Spirit – the dirt collected here, from over the heart, can be used to endure traumatic events or situations; it can help in removing yourself or a client from a seriously dangerous or negative relationship. The dirt collected from an abused spirit – emotionally or physically abused, is very powerful. It brings perseverance, at all costs.

Adult – The dirt collected from a mature adult’s grave is a sort of all-purpose dirt. It can help with wisdom, maturity, day to day events. Collect this dirt from near the head.

Baby/Infants – This dirt is used mostly for fertility conjure – for someone to become pregnant, or to lose a baby, depending upon how you use it. It also symbolizes innocence, peace. Using dirt collected from a baby’s grave can create peace within a home or relationship. Collect this dirt from the center of the grave.

Cheating lover/spouse – Perfect for issues with love triangles; choosing between two (or more) lovers. You can also use this dirt to cause a spouse or lover to cheat. Collect this dirt from over the heart.

Doctor/Midwife – Obviously, this dirt is perfect for healing matters, as well as treating illnesses. On the flip side, it is also employed to cause illness. Collect this dirt from the right or left hand, depending upon what you will be using if for.

Executed/Executioner – Collect this dirt for jinxing and hexing, revenge work, anything where inflicting harm is the desired outcome. Grab this dirt from near the head of the grave.

Gambler – This dirt is used in mojo hands, castings, anything that can help better the odds and increase luck. This is used for both gamblers and new business owners, equally. This dirt should be taken from near the right hand.

Judge or Lawyer – Court cases, road opener spells, honey jar spells – anything where you or a client might need a boost of justice. It can also be collected from a “dirty” lawyer or a judge that was known to accept bribes. If this is the case, use this dirt for anti-justice. Again, collect from the right hand. Also, similar to this type, law enforcement officers. They will see swift justice for those seeking it. The right hand will keep the matter close at hand. Officers can also keep a watchful eye over someone that needs to be honest or trustworthy.

Law enforcement officer – see above

Murderer – By collecting this type of dirt from the left hand, you can influence with the powers of revenge. Perfect for harmful or dangerous workings. Please keep in mind that working with this type of influence can become quite harmful – to both the practitioner, as well as those it is for.

Priest or Clergyman – Collect this dirt from the head of the grave, very near the stone or even underneath it. This dirt is often used for protection, as well as spiritual guidance and understanding. Enlightenment, high powers, divination purposes will benefit from this dirt. Another use is for letting go of painful things.

Pet – If you have the ability to collect dirt from a beloved pet, this can be useful in protection, love and understanding. Many feel that this type of dirt is also good for loyalty matters. Collect this dirt from anywhere on the grave.

Soldier – This dirt is used for courage and bravery, steadfastness, loyalty. Problem-solving, thinking outside the box, self-preservation, secrecy, covert operations. This dirt can also be used to control someone else, to cause them to obey orders. Collect this dirt from the right hand, above the heart, or near the head – whichever makes the most sense to you. I always like to mention, please do not use this dirt without paying the proper respect to the soldier’s grave that it is collected from.

Suicide – Many necromancers choose the dirt from suicide victims. It’s often used in jinxing, hexing, driving away something. It can be used to cast torment, anguish and extreme sorrow. Collect from the feet.

Young Adult – Dirt collected from anywhere on a young adult’s grave can be used for a variety of things. Romance, new relationships, sexual attraction, but also irresponsible behaviors, lack of accountability, excessive behaviors (drinking, drugs, etc).

Cross

Now… how do I pay for the dirt? The dirt’s I use are hand-collected, using a very traditional method where the spirits are offered a prayer, energy, coin or drink, as a way of saying thanks. Sometimes, the spirit is excessive and wants all forms of payment, other times, a little download of energy while kneeling next to their grave is plenty. They will let you know.

As a necromancer, I do not follow a moon phase to collect my dirt, unless it is specifically requested by a client. I have learned the proper ways and techniques of collecting the dirt when I need it, therefore, I do not have to wait until the proper moon phase rolls around. I have a very unique bond with spirits – but that is a story for another time.

Ranger II

Another factor to consider is location. When a particular spirit is not needed, but a location is, the following is a quick run-down of the best places to gather Cemetery dirt.

Cemetery Entrance – the dirt collected from the entrance or near the entrance of a cemetery is perfect to use when requiring strong and powerful protection. It provides a strong guardianship. And when sprinkled around the home or business, it will help keep unwelcome spirits away.

3-Way Crossroads – The crossroads are a powerful place, indeed. Dirt collected from a 3-way crossroads is often used for devotional purposes and divination. I have used it to help open roads and blocked pathways, as well.

4-Way Crossroads – If your needs require a bit of darker shadows or more obscure deities, gather your dirt from a 4-way crossroads. The spirits that dwell within this area are much more powerful and much darker. I use this dirt for the more malicious workings of revenge, and danger – or to cause complete confusion. This soil is for serious life changes, as well as powerful healing. It’s good dirt to use when trying to overcome something very difficult in your life.

More to come on my practice of necromancy and how I use graveyard dirt.
