Jak3758 --

Most people keep all their cooking herbs and spices in the same kitchen cupboard, and likely they group their condiment bottles together on one shelf as well.

* Some cooks arrange their herb and spice storage and display alphabetically -- Allspice, Basil, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves ...

Jak3758 --

I have broken off your second question and placed it -- and my reply -- in the area for general questions about keeping and storing magical oils, since it is not specific to Crown of Success oil. See my reply here:

Sweetpea05 --

We did do a reading on your question live, even though you were not there -- but that is okay because the live show is now being edited and having a video loop added to it and it will go public on Sunday, March 1st. Look for the url to be posted in the forum then. You are Client #9.

Hi, Luucius --

I merged your three topic threads into one and i also edited my previous responses a bit (adding Newbell Niles Puckett).

Thanks for taking the time to rummage through my 30 years of web pages at various domains. I hope it all forms a coherent mass of texts.

Desperatemom1 --

There are several magical techniques to have something disadvantageous overlooked. One way is to sweeten the HR person to you, and another way is to confuse them, so that they overlook portions or all of the background check. I would combine those ideas in a three-step process ...

Hi, Jak3758,

1. Crown of success is generally used to ask for promotions, business income, a raise, or better results when taking a test. It is often employed to dress the crown of the head, with the words, "May all my works be crowned with success." There is no one way to use it, though, as long ...

Hi, CoralConjurer --

Sounds like a great problem, actually -- more work than you want. One thing i would suggest is to work with and talk to the mojo hand, asking it now to refine itself to what you desire. For instance, you can ask for higher paying jobs per hour, or easier and less stressful ...

LovelyM4ry,

1. No. Disposal, deployment, and dispersal are all reasons to take something to a crossroads, a railroad, a river, or a graveyard.

2. Yes. Positive and negative works alike can be taken for disposal, deployment, and dispersal to a crossroads, a railroad, a river, or a graveyard.

Hi, Aquariusgirl87 --

I admire your desire for evidentiary proof before taking further action. That is wise. There are herbs and spells for clarity of both sight and insight.

* Bathe the eyes with a mild tea made of Eyebright and Chamomile, while praying for the ability to see the truth. Do this ...

Hi, The Mango Witch --

I'm not JayDee, but i will reply to part of what you mentioned -- "using Q to 'queer up' other love formulas."

In past times, most queer people "adapted" rather than expecting a special formula for queer love, For instance, there were perfumes associated with gay men, such ...

LovelyM4ry,

Wrapping the spell remains in paper or cloth and leaving the bundle at a crossroads is a traditional way to end the work by dispersal. Dropping it into a river washes it away, placing it on a railroad track gets it gone, and burying it in a cemetery ends the matter for all time.

The ...

Because if they are family members, the bonds may be strong and it may take time to loosen them without causing a fuss that involves you.

1. I would recommend a Separation spell, a calmer and less emotiona; version of the Break-Up spells and vinegar jar souring spells.

2. if you ...

LovelyM4ry --

Messing up the order of actions in a spell is not the worst thing you can do -- but it does show a lack of focus. whether you choose to start over or proceed ahead, just take a lesson from the mishap -- and prepare yourself bettwer next time.

As for the signs you saw with the wax ...

Coriander is a culinary herb related to Parsley, and is therefore also known as Chinese Parsley. It has aromatic seeds and unusually fragrant leaves, the latter also known as Cilantro. Due to genetic variation, some people find the scent of ...

That;s a great idea, The Red Queen. I will talk with ConjureMan about it. He says he will be using Geomancy in his free readings on next week's show.

Double_Evening_2439 --

Thanks for confirming the luck of the Badger Tooth from Austrian and Irish sources. I now wonder if the note i copied out -- "See Pow Wows" -- was perhaps a more general reference to Braucherei -- a word not commonly used in English, and which Anglophone Americans generally ...

http://luckymojo.com/Hoodoo-Psychics-104-Mushroom.jpg

Mushrooms -- the fruit of various fungi -- are not often thought to be a gift in contemporary urban areas, but they do have symbolic meanings, nonetheless, based in part upon their species. At the height of the Victorian craze for floriography ...

You're welcome, DeborahHarris! And i just realized that i was recently part of a really good panel discussion with ConjureMan and Lukianos on blending oils which is relevant to your questions as well. It's called "Spellcasting and the Art of Narrative Intention." Give it a listen and you will learn ...

Over in the thread on "Spells for Protection From Spiritual Attacks, Demons, Evil Eye, Black Magic Spells" , DeborahHarris asked:

I found the post you mentioned. it was written by Mama Micki, a former mod here in the forum. She did not say it was "a big No No" to combine Reversal with I Can, You Can't, but she cautioned against it, writing:

Dear EdgarFlores --

Florida Water is not my favourite substitution for Hoyt's Cologne. I far prefer 4711 Cologne.

In my opinion, Van Van is not in the same fragrance group -- although this more about traditional usage than it is about fragrance.

Hi, EdgarFlores --

If you are a Catholic, as many in Mexico are, you would probably prefer a Catholic Bible. Because most African-Americans are Protestants, and because the King James Version is the most often cited Protestant Bible, and because it is written in very grand and poetic language, it ...

I put "sleeping" spells of all types, including mojo hands, into nice boxes, with a full statement of my thanks and my intention to call for them again in the future if i need them. My own habit is to use those nice small "book boxes" that look like vintage books and to put them on ...

The Mango Witch --

Yes you can. "The form is not as important as the formula." (That is, is the formula is compounded traditionally.)

Ceres79 --

A Cat is associated with the Moon and with women. As it was a magical attack, this signifies a woman instigated the magical work against you. The tarot card i would use for protection is the Queen of Wands -- wear gold in the day and silver at night, a lion by day and a black cat by ...
