Let’s face it – most of us have been hurt in some form or fashion by someone we really cared about.

That’s life – it happens to the best of us. But occasionally, we are unfortunate enough to care about a drama queen (or king). I’m not talking typical drama either – I mean the kind that will rip your heart out because you wound up caring for them and they finally tired of playing with you and tossed you aside like a worn out teddy bear. The kind of person that dawns a perfect window dressing to hide the counterfeit that they really are.

venice-mask1

Oh, these pretentious, two-faced bastards will act soft and innocent around you – but get them in a crowd where they are the center of attention – and honey, you would swear they could win an Oscar for their performance.

Yeah you right, Chere – you got somebody in mind, don’t ya?

So what do you do when they really need a taste of their own medicine? When you want, no need, to show their little horde of unsuspecting minions who they really are?

I can tell you what a Swamp Witch does – she turns ’em into Roadkill!

 

Background-roadkill

Yes, darlin’ – Roadkill! That stinking, rotting mess that we see on the side of the road!

This Swamp Witch don’t mess around! I will use what the swamp and the bayou provide to get the job done! Any roadkill will do. It’s nasty work – but the benefits you reap afterward are more than worth it!

I will baptize the roadkill as your specified target – and then wrap it in brightly colored yarns and ribbons and pretty things! You know… to make the target feel like we are buying into their sham.

Some energy work, a little altar and candle magick are done, as well as a few other things to complete the process.

Petitions are written to the spirits, offerings are made.

The bright colored bundle is placed on a silver platter and paraded around – treated like the royalty they THINK they are.

It’s a party, boys and girls!

But guess what?

That beautiful bright colored bundle of stink is about to get what it has coming to them –

I set that baby on fire! Oh yeah – we talkin’ bonfire!

As it is consumed by flames – all those brightly colored fragile ribbons and yarns begin to melt away – the pseudo identity falling to the wayside leaving behind their true ‘colors’.

Just wait… the best is yet to come.

If you are patient, and observant, you will get to see their entourage of minions leave them… very reminiscent of rats abandoning a sinking ship!

Rats-Running-Titanic-1

Why would they want to hang around a big piece of rotting, festering chaos? They usually don’t want to have much to do with the target after something like this. It creates havoc and chaos in the target’s life. Everything they touch stinks to high heaven! By the time the conjure wears off – they are usually left all alone. With little to no successes, no friends, a shell of their former know-it-all Queen (or King) Bee selves.

This is actually a very effective, and generally pretty long-lasting bayou conjure that I am becoming known for! So, reach out to me if you are still thinking of that person you were earlier. Yeah, Chere, I could see those wheels a-turnin’!

Roadkill 2
Makin' the Roadkill purdy!
Makin’ the Roadkill purdy!

As I’ve said before – I don’t mess around!

I don’t do nice! And I don’t do passive aggressive!

You come to me with your problem and I’ll fix you right up.

At the very least – I will make you feel better and put a satisfied smile on your face!

Roadkill 5
Set that baby on fire!!
Set that baby on fire!!

I have a lot of experience working swamp conjures. I have seen the results with my own eyes. I use a great deal of energy for my workings and tricks – but I always give proper abundance of thanks to the Bayou and the spirits!

‘Severance Package’ Ritual Offering

February 14 –

Conjures up images of baby cupids in diapers, arrows with heart-shaped tips, and little hearts floating over couples’ heads.

creepy-cupid

But what about those of us that are Anti-Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day isn’t all about love… or a diaper-clad baby shooting arrows at people… it’s also about those that can’t get rid of someone, that person that just refuses to let you go… and this day has some historical disasters.

Emo-Love-emo-5777744-500-336

Every year, around this time, I do a special Anti-Valentine’s Day Unbinding Ritual.

Specifically designed for those that really need to get someone the hell outta their life, and unbind someone from them. Maybe you have a negative influence from someone that just won’t let you move on. Or even a stalker! Ex-lover from your past that holds a torch for you that is causing problems.

Miss Sha’s own special way to rid herself of a nuisance. Severance Package is, at it’s basic, a severe Unbinding of Two Hearts. Specifically designed for those that really need to get someone the hell outta their life, unbind someone from you. Maybe you have a negative influence from someone that just won’t let you move on. Or even a stalker! Ex-lover from your past that holds a torch for you that is causing problems.
It’s fairly powerful work – she has a specific spot in a cemetery where she works. Two Hearts (yes, real animal hearts) are baptized with the appropriate oils and then bound together. A Kukri style machete – that has been rumored to have taken a life – is used to severe the connection between the two hearts – VIOLENTLY. A bit more conjure work is done and then the two pieces are disposed of after a certain specified number of days, at opposite ends of the bayou. By then, the connection is properly withered and dying – the disposal helps put the final nail in the coffin of this relationship.

Clients will be provided with photos and proof that the work being done is for their particular situation.

Perfectly designed to cut the ties that bind between two people.

I am only able to perform a handful of these services – due to the amount of energy required, so it is first come, first serve.

Louisiana Mud Mouth

27 Wednesday Jan 2016

So, tell me this… what does a Swamp Witch do when she needs to make someone shut the hell up?

Why, Mud Mouth, of course!

My brand of Mud Mouth conjure is solely my own – a little different than most Tapa Boca workings –

Got someone running their mouth and not minding their own lane?

Someone spreading rumors or lies – that is harming you or someone you love?

Let me tell ya, Chere, how this Swamp Witch would handle that. First – you need to get a tongue.

Yes, a REAL tongue.

 Mud Mouth 1

No matter the critter, no matter how you get it, just get it. Choose your time (you’ll know when the time is right) and you use the spirits as your guide. When you take to doing serious conjure – they know you ain’t playin’.

Your desired outcome is what is important here.

Now, everyone does things a little differently.

A Swamp Witch bases her magick and conjure on what is available and what is relevant. A person running their mouth – well, I want to sour their words. Every time they speak about me or my client, I want them to taste a nasty, foul taste – like rotten onions, rancid vinegar, lemons. But, I also want them to hurt themselves when they speak against me. So something sharp like glass shards or rusty nails is appropriate. After I include all the business I need to, I sew that bad boy back up. Sealing that nastiness inside their tongue – along with my petition to the Lwas – and mark it.

Mud Mouth 2

A Swamp Witch then uses what she knows… bayou magick.

Ohhhh, Louisiana, land that I love. The things you give me and the things you let me give to you in return.

Louisiana, as is much of the South, is known for its murky backwaters – those slow moving, sometimes dank and mysterious, waterways that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. You wouldn’t dare put your bare feet in them…right?

Well, those of us that call these places home learn to love them. The bayous and swamps are full of life – teeming with creatures, plants and sounds.

The bayou will give life – but she will just as quickly take it away, you can bet your ass on that.

The swamps are known for many things – one of them being mud. Sure, mud is everywhere – but the swamp mud… now that’s a mess. The mud here… it’s different. This mud is strong – resilient – and has a mind of its own. This mud, if left to dry in the sun, bakes into concrete. Absolutely perfect for shutting someone the hell up! I use it anytime I want to fill a targets mouth with dirty mud – every time they speak against me. Pack it full – don’t be shy!

Once I do this – it’s time to give it to the Bayou – she will take it from there. The alligators will eat that crap! They will come along and make a meal out of that tongue! If not the ‘gators, the turtles, the crabs, the crawfish, the snakes, the gar… maybe the Rougarou… but something will have a time with that tongue!

Once back home – no good Cajun would end the evening without a little drink and a little music – in honor of the Lwas, the Spirits, and the Bayou.

This Swamp Witch doesn’t play nice.

I don’t do nice.

And I damn sure don’t do passive aggressive.

I shoot for the throat, the first chance I get.

I have a lot of experience working this conjure – it only gets more powerful each time I work it. I have seen the results with my own eyes – my clients that choose this working are now believers. I expend a great deal of energy doing this… but I always give proper abundance of thanks to the Bayou and the spirits.

I offer this service on my website, www.inexplicablethings.com.

Please keep in mind – this is not the typical Tapa Boca, or STFU. It’s much more powerful than a Stop Gossip or Hush Yer Mouth. This is when you REALLY… REALLY need to shut someone up!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or comments.

My front stoop is always open, and the sweet tea never runs out. Ca c’est bon!

Karma – Shamarma . . .

26 Monday Oct 2015

Karmically-speaking, I expect most of you will believe I shall be struck down by lightning before I finish this post.  I don’t “do” karma… I’m a realist.

Karma – noun – is defined by the folks at Merriam-Webster as,

‘: the force created by a person’s actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what the person’s next life will be like

: the force created by a person’s actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person.’  (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/karma, 2015)

karma bitch

So, basically, this means that every time something negative happens in my life, it is a direct response to something that I have done – of comparable negativity, at the very least.

Hmmm… okay.

Well, if this is the case, then I could spend the rest of my days worrying about all that I have done that may be considered negative to, well, anyone. Oh my! I think I foresee an ulcer somewhere in my future.

Now, let’s throw in the belief of the Three-Fold Law, which is basic to any Wiccan belief system. This “law” – often called The Rule of Three, essentially states that what you put out into the world is returned to you, magnified by three. It’s karma…for pagans, period. This goes hand in hand with the Wiccan Rede. The Rede is stated in a variety of forms, but the gist is ‘an it harm none, do what ye will.’ So, in non-pagan, muggles, what-have-you’s terms – if it won’t in any way, shape, or form harm anyone or anything else, then by all means, put it out there.

327

But see, therein lies the rub – for me, anyway.

I am what you would call pagan – I follow a polytheistic belief, based on ancient matriarchal and Earth based views, and I have been spiritually “religious” all of my life – which is over 4 decades at the time of this writing. And throughout this life, I have tried to be “good” – at least in my eyes.

Now, this is where my confusion comes in. If, as Pagans, (and yes, many have told me they don’t like organized religion) we don’t “do” organized religion and we don’t like being told what to think and who to follow and where to worship – then why must someone else deem what is “good”… or what is bad. Or maybe it should be stated, positive and negative. Until someone has walked a mile, in my shoes, they better not be trying to tell me that what I do is good or bad…or anything, for that matter.

Now, before jumping all over me – I do understand about the notion of changing free will. I have been told that true Witch’s will not put anything out there that changes someone’s free will. Now wait a minute . . . isn’t casting a spell to bring you true love – isn’t that changing someone’s free will, somewhere? Isn’t wishing and hoping for a change in someone’s nature, or an outcome – isn’t that a change – brought about by other than the normal flow? In essence, yes. We could argue back and forth about it all day – but the truth of the matter is … both sides would be correct. At the end of the day – it’s about what YOU… yourself… and no one else, believes. Am I right?

Well, if that’s the case – then what I see as good and positive, someone else in the world could easily view as negative. And vice versa. What is dark to some, is simply the way it is to others. Who are we to judge the thoughts, intentions, or actions of others? Shouldn’t we govern ourselves, first and foremost? People in glass houses…

It’s the same thing as trying to justify why you did something that others question. It’s your personal opinion on the matter. To some ancient, or otherwise, cultures – harming others is way of life. Sacrifice, destruction, degradation, plunder and pillage … its Mother Nature at her finest!

gty_joplin_tornado_thg_111208_wblog

She creates, she condemns, and she destroys – is she wrong?

No.

Okay, so you follow an Earth-based religion. Our glorious animal kingdom is about as Earth-based as it gets. They create, they judge, they condemn and they destroy. This is all instinctual, it’s their nature.

Great-white-shark

Are they wrong? Certainly not!

So, with all that being said. Who the hell are we to decide what is right and what is wrong?

I suppose one could split hairs and say well, it’s only really wrong if you are harming another, intentionally. Again, following the Rule and the Rede – whether it be intentional or unintentional – this is a no-no.

What about if someone harms someone you love and cherish – do you draw a line there?

Say, if your 14 year old daughter is raped and the perpetrator was never caught, or was caught, but then released due to lack of evidence. What do you do then?

You can’t honestly tell me – with a clean conscience anyway – that not a single ill thought would run through your mind.

Really?

Okay, let’s lie to ourselves some more. We, as humans, even in the reflection of the divine, are simply not built that way. We are vengeful – we are angry – we do feel emotions, to extremes sometimes… just like those we emulate. Gods and Goddesses, in every pantheon, are often swift with justice. And remember folks, there are ALWAYS two sides to EVERY story!

Ancient sacrifices were made in honor of them, in the hopes to bring prosperity, bountiful harvests, blessings and immeasurable other ways.

In my first, ever, blog – entitled ‘A Witch’s Voice’, I wrote about following my own personal path. I refer to myself as eclectic – but many philosophies use the word eclectic to describe views or heritage. I use the term eclectic to describe ME. My philosophies are not the only thing that are pulled from different sources and elements – but my entire makeup is of such. I am from a long line of cattle ranchers and rodeo cowboys, and yet while I love this lifestyle and my upbringing, I ride an iron horse. I was raised on country music and deep moral values, and yet I am covered with tattoos and love the darker things in life. I am an anomaly – in many, many ways – but in the words of Popeye the Sailor – “I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam.”

Hecate-Enthroned

What I do is often viewed as “dark” – simply because it’s not the right-handed path that many follow. I prefer the darkness – so, sure, I will identify as “dark” –

Does that make it wrong? No.

My ancestors and Deities were there long before I came along – and the darker things in life must be dealt with. They cannot be swept under the proverbial rug and forgotten about until a later date. Some of the darker natures deal with things like rage, jealousy, curses, even death. These are natural reactions – instinctual, if you will – and so, they are very valid. We cannot simply pretend that they do not exist.

Please understand, I am not poking fun at those that follow such Rules, Redes, and Laws – I am simply stating that there are other ways of thinking and living. That this is not the ONLY way and therefore, those of us that do not follow such, should not be judged by those that do. And, I have known many a Witch and Pagan that adamantly follow such rules and laws, but cannot explain to me why or show any proof of it actually happening.

So, I want those of you that wish to invalidate my claim to contact me.

Either post a response here.

Email me at inexplicablethings@yahoo.

Convo me on my website www.inexplicablethings.com

Hell, send me a smoke signal or carrier pigeon if you need to – but tell me your direct experience that will invalidate my way of thinking.

Seriously – this is somewhat of a research project for me – I have yet to actually meet a single individual that can directly correlate a cause and effect based upon the Karmic Law – or the Wiccan Rede, for that matter. If this is you – please, please, tell me your experience. I will include any portion of said experience in a future posting, with your approval, of course, and it will make for future discussions.

Please – prove me wrong! Tell your friends! Tell your coven mates – give me your experiences!

I look forward to the feedback!

Happy October Minions!!

What is there not to love about this most awesome of months.

Not only is it my wedding anniversary, but with the month of October comes cooler weather – usually just about right for hoodies, thin sweaters, some cool neck scarves, warm booties, leggings ….

As the seasons change – so do the colors of foliage around the country which paint amazingly brilliant landscape creations.

Some critters begin a journey to warmer climates – but we know they will be back. Others begin to emerge a bit more often in search of winter groceries for their pantries.

Colors of birds seem more vibrant against the background of darkening browns and pale greens. And they are starting to fluff up for the impending winter – so they seem a bit fatter!

It’s a nice time for cozy fires to help take off the chill – as well as curl up with fuzzy fleece blankets and cups of apple cider or hot chocolate.

Halloween

It rings in the thinning of the veil between our world and the realm of those passed. We are more able to communicate with spirits of ancestors and things of a darker nature. The Celts, as well as many Native American and South American cultures use this time for divination, fortune telling, and overall enhanced communication with the spirit world. Did you know that many Halloween origins actually began with the Celts? The Druids celebrated this time of year over 2,000 years ago. It was often a time to celebrate and feast – the wheel of the year was turning, harvests were concluding, celebrations to remember the Dead.  In fact, the Druids were said to have constructed enormous bonfires in order to offer sacrifices to the numerous (well over 500) Celtic deities.

The month builds to a crescendo that culminates on the last eve of the month – Samhain, Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Allhallowe’en, All Saint’s Eve – just to name a few. It’s observed by Western Christians, and most non-Christians, around the world! It’s the first day of Allhallowtide which is a three day celebration which includes All Hallow’s Eve, All Saint’s Day on November 1 and All Soul’s Day on November 2.

Well, whatever your beliefs, your culture, your preferences…. All should enjoy this time of year! Be thankful of the blessings that were bestowed up you and yours during the previous months – and don’t forget to honor your ancestors.

Enjoy, my lovelies – the best time of year is upon us!

October

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!!!

{insert evil cackle here}

Graveyard Dust and Cemetery Dirt . . .

08 Monday Dec 2014

Posted by inxplicablethings in Divination, Necromancing

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).

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.

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.
