Spiritual Crafts

“The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.” ~ Wayne Dyer

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. I honestly was not planning on a fourth spiritual blog but here I am writing a fourth blog on spirituality and as I'm reflecting back on my previous blog titled: Spiritual Practice, I realize I haven't fully touched up on which psalms I would have used if I could do things much (much) differently and who knows what that particular outcome would have been or will be! I've decided to completely completely redo this blog over because I thought the first time around was good but this time I wanted to do better this time around on what I'd do. I had my Powers of the Psalms by Anna Riva on hand when I had taken my son, Stephan to the pool in Fort Totten on Independence Day so he can have fun while I chilled on the lounge chairs getting some tan and being a freaking meal to flies. 😒 While I was on the lounge chair looking over some psalms before placing them certain ones in its own category (love; work; finances; enemies). I did eventually go in the pool and had a good time, so the day wasn't a complete waste! 😁 Hopefully I'd have some space on scrap paper to break each category down so you'd know which is which and unfortunately in the Powers of the Psalms does not have any psalms to keep those who are constantly harassing you around the clock by blowing up your phone with constant unnecessary phone calls and threatening text messages to harm you and your family. Your best bet is to use these psalms: Suppress Evil Doers which involves a Reversible Multi-color 7 Day Prayer Candle; Punish Liars and Violent Men; Bring an Enemy to Justice; Destroy Any Enemies Power; Destroy One's  Enemy; and the last four psalms you use a 7 Day Pull Out Candle Black. As for as Bring an Enemy to Justice, if you have John Doe or Jane Doe's picture and date of birth, place the picture, name and date of birth on parchment paper on one side and intentions on the other side under the candle, repeat ritual for nine days. Don't forget to use Receive Answer to Prayer psalm prior to beginning each ritual during the Waxing and/or Waning Moon. Don't wait until things get worse before beginning your ritual and be sure to stock up on candles because for certain rituals require a black; purple; yellow; and several Reversible Multi-color 7 Day candles. I suggest purchasing a Double Reversible 14 Day Prepared Candle; Destroy Everything 14 Day Prepared Candle; Black List D.U.M.E. 14 Day Prepared Candle; and Against Harm/Contra Danos 14 Day Prepared Candle for the fifth month but for the first four months get three black candles so you can carve either John Doe or Jane Doe's full name and date of birth onto the candle and if you have a picture of either John Doe or Jane Doe, that's even better but still include their name; date of birth; and your intentions. Also recite Suppress Evil Doers for as long as possible for nine days if possible and I personally haven't tried this method for nine days but I am curious to hear from your personal experiences. You can spend anywhere from half hour to an hour each day and as many times as you want, it could be once a day or twice a day. It's totally up to you on what you want to accomplish but make it your own experience!!! I suggest Protection and Reversal Magick: A Witch's Defense Manual by Jason Miller and another book is Advanced Candle Magic by Ray Buckland for your spiritual practice. I suggest going to Namaste BookshopAum Shanti Bookshop & Crystal Gallery; and Stick Stone & Bone for crystals but most of all, I encourage you to purchase a Selenite Crystal so you can charge up your candles and crystals first before working on anything spiritual.

-Positive Vibes-

"Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that." ~ Imran Khan

If you're looking to attract the positive things into your life such as love; prosperity; employment opportunities. I will list several psalms throughout this paragraph that maybe useful to your current situation and I wish you luck on your spiritual journey. Especially if you're looking to start a business of your own and I will mention that in a moment. If you wish to attract love or friends; use Receive Answer to prayer; Receive Divine Prayer; Receive God's Blessings before beginning your rituals for Attract Love; Attract Friends; Assist In Finding Work; Find Fulfillment in Work; Find Love Each and Every Day; For A Happy Marriage; Help in Finding a New Dwelling; Improve Financial Conditions; Prosper in Business; Strengthen Friendships. To Attract Friends, all you need are parchment paper and Attraction Oil and carry the parchment paper with you everyday when you go out. You don't need anything fancy for Strengthen Friendships other than pray sincerely the short psalm of David. Best advice is to do no harm onto others and as the Wiccan Rede goes: "An ye harm none, do what ye will." Be mindful of any and all consequences done during your spiritual rituals, whether it's positive or negative because it will either bite you in the derrière if you put out negative energy and if you do positive then the universe will reward you with something positive. For added benefits prior to doing any spiritual work is done where as I often use them as personal reference to see how other witches perform their spells, check out Magical Witch or any other YouTube channel that features performing spells. If you're going to be performing any spiritual work for your dream job: a green candle is needed; Cat Candle Green; Catnip HerbFix Boss OilBoss Fix Sachet PowderHire Me Perfume (this link may take you to the 3rd I Product but you'd have to type in Hire Me); Job Oil; Steady Work Oil; Steady Work Sachet Powder; and a Steady Work 7 Day 1 Color Prayer Candle Green along with the psalms needed. You'll also need to recite this affirmation daily in order for everything to become reality: Affirmations For Dream Job Success | 21 Days Attract Job | Positive Affirmation Meditation | Manifest. If you're someone who is single and looking to enter a relationship, be careful in what you wish for and make sure you have a 7 Day Pull Out Candle White; a 7 Day Pull Out Candle Pink; and a 7 Day Pull Out Candle Red, as well as Attraction Oil; Love Drawing Candle 7 DayCome to Me OilDesire Me Oil; Glow of Attraction OilLove Oil; Love Sachet Powder; and Love Soap. If you're totally serious about attracting a soulmate, be sure that this is what you want and be careful what you wish for! Be sure you find these qualities such as honesty; loyalty; trust; communication; and there's one other I've unintentionally left out but they will come to me! Keep this in mind, if you're one of those people that have that self-loathing mindset, there's an old saying, "If you can't love yourself, how in the world can you love someone else?" Or rather "If you can't love  yourself, how can you expect anyone to love you the way you deserve?" I hope that makes sense on many levels. If you have time throughout your day, here are two affirmations you can view at your own leisure that I personally like: Positive Affirmations for Self Love, Self Esteem, Confidence and 75+ Affirmations For Self-Love | Affirm Your Self-Worth, Self Confidence | A Brand New You | Manifest. There's a book I had borrowed from the Queens Public Library titled: The Practical Witch's Love Spell Book for Passion, Romance, and Desire by Cerridwen Greenleaf and illustrated by Mara Penny. It's a pretty cool book to read if you're looking for love or helping someone out with finding love. Best time to attract positive things into your life, please follow the moon phases for the best possible outcome and best time to perform positive spiritual work is during the Waxing Moon [refer to Moon Giant Calendar and Candle Spell How-To Guide]. Best of luck and I'm not looking to get too carried away with this. Carry on children!

I hope you've seen what I've done in the previous section with examples of what to purchase. Keep in mind, if you do positive, the universe will reward you with positive vibrations into your lives and don't feel intimidated by doing candle work. Be sure to find the best positive frequency music to listen to either on Spotify or YouTube!

-Banishing Vibes-

"But no matter how much evil I see, I think it's important for everyone to understand that there is much more light than darkness." ~ Robert Uttaro

In regards of performing banishing rituals, be mindful as to what you're doing because depending your intentions of the outcome and keep in mind that whatever energy you put out there can come back to you times three, please keep that in mind always! If it involves sending someone packing, just have a clear mind on where you'd want the said individual to relocate to another country and remain there permanently and never come back. It's best not to make this into a habit because as they say, karma is a bitch and it's not going to be pretty but at least allow the universe take care of these people for you. I'd also suggest do each ritual a minimum of five times during the Waxing Moon or Waning Moon over the course of five months and for the final time, purchase a 14 Day Plain Brown Candle. For the first four months, purchase three 7 Day Pull Out Candle Brown (with the glass) and one brown candle without the glass. If you choose to purchase a fourteen day candle for the fourth month and fifth month to give it a boost, be my guest in buying an extra fourteen day brown candle to give it a boost. Always practice good judgement before you get involved with spiritual work, both positive and negative; the good, the bad and the ugly! Have faith that this will work! Don't lose faith.

Results may vary when performing or attempting each spiritual ritual and best to plan what you intend on doing beforehand (in advance) but best to perform either positive or banishing ritual a minimum of five months per month cycle and ending the final ritual with a fourteen day candle as the fifth month. No need to over do each ritual no more than once per moon phase (over the course of five months) and allow the universe to take care of the rest for you while you sit back and enjoy some popcorn so to speak. For example if you intend on using Suppress Evil Doers, do this a minimum of once during the Waning Moon Phase for five months and even if you have to purchase a fourteen day Double Reversible 14 Day Prepared Candle; Reversible Oil; and a Reversible Sachet Powder. Here's what I would do, I'd purchase a 7 Day Black Pull Out Candle (so you can carve John Doe or Jane Doe's full name and date of birth onto the candle before using oil) to last me four months and purchase a fourteen day reversible candle for the fifth month. Or I can purchase three seven day black candles and two fourteen day reversible candles so the first three months will consist of using seven day candles for the first three months and final two months will be the fourteen day candles. Nah, I think it's best to keep it to a minimum of four months instead of five because now that I think about it, it's over doing it if you were to keep on for five months straight then you may be pushing your luck. However, if you're using a Reversible Candle, feel free to use a Shut Up Multicolored 7 Day Prayer Candle; Shut Up Oil; and there is a Shut Up Sachet Powder (it's not shown on Original Botanica website) for Against Evil Tongues; Quiet the Tongues of Those Who Gossip; Still the Voices of Rumor Mongers; and Suppress Liars. Same concept with carving John Doe or Jane Doe's name and date of birth onto the candle and as well as parchment paper so you can place the parchment paper under the candle and as well as a picture of the said individual. Put all your effort (intentions) into the candle and find an appropriate affirmation to go with each of these rituals you perform in order for them to work. Find what works best for you and go with it until you personally feel it's time to find a new way of doing things that works best for you. No one method works the same for everyone and you'd have to find a method that works for you! Don't be afraid of the process because you're still learning and it's a process in itself if you're patient enough for your manifestation to become a reality. Believe me, it'll take some time depending on the universe. Again, I have not tried or thought of using any affirmations from the times I've done spiritual work either for myself or on anyone else and I now know what to do down the road when the time permits.
-Previous Blogs on Spirituality-
"Religion is meant to teach us true spiritual human character. It is meant for self-transformation. It is meant to transform anxiety into peace, arrogance into humility, envy into compassion, to awaken the pure soul in man and his love for the Source, which is God." ~ Radhanath Swami

Always practice good judgment before you get involved with any or all spiritual work, both positive and negative; the good, the bad and the ugly. Have faith that this will work. It's going to take a while and it's not going to happen right this second. Give your spiritual work time for the universe to fully grasp your wishes and be careful in what you wish for! If you're looking to do candle Magick just because you personally don't like an individual(s), don't do it for that particular reason or it'll come back to bite you in the arse sooner or later and it'll work best if you feel that your life is in danger of an ex or whomever. If an ex is violent, do what you can spiritually while working with the police. Although, I can imagine the police saying: "There's nothing we can do or unless if you've been attacked." Ain't that something? They'll wait until you're dead before they do anything for you. I'm skeptical regarding an Order of Protection because I've heard horror stories on how the ex-husband/estranged husband goes after his estranged wife and murders her to avoid paying child and or spousal support, stories like this you can watch on Dateline or 20/20. Do what you have to do to protect yourself and your children from harm and even if this means taking up Mixed Martial Arts classes near you (depending on your current budget). In the process, use safety and precaution when using candles, never leave them unattended for safety reasons (that is if you want to have a place to come home to at the end of the day). I would suggest reading Powers of the Orishas for additional information because there are prayers in both Helping Yourself with Selected Prayers books and be sure to use these books in good faith. All I know is once when you're initiated into the Santeria faith you'd have to wear all white for one year and it's not going to be as fun if you're a young woman who is still experiencing her monthly friend (depending on how heavy your menstrual cycles are because I know mine is heavy due to the birth control I'm using, which is an IUD). I realize Santeria have nothing to do with witchcraft and for a better understanding, watch this video: Santeria - Fusion of the Gods. Interview with a Santero. Documentary. So far it's an interesting history of Santeria. I still have a lot to learn when it comes down to such spiritual faiths and a lot of devotion as well. I hope I'm going to drive myself crazy with the new found information and knowledge of Santeria. This will be a very interesting journey learning more about the Orishas as I go along in life and where I stand with learning more about the Orishas, I currently find this to be very intimidating because I don't know a whole lot about it until I feel comfortable knowing more and more about them! All in all, I will recommend four books depending on where you're currently at the moment. Helping Yourself with Selected Prayers; Helping Yourself with Selected Prayers Volume #2Powers of the Orishas: Santeria & the Worship of Saints by Migene Gonzalez - Wippler; and Powers of the Psalms.

I will end this with this message and I know I had set this blog up with the intentions of writing about photography, not a variety of different topics. I may end up doing a separate blog dedicated to spirituality and that's not going to be now but down the road once when I have a name picked out, I will be sure to share it with you all. ♥️ I will keep any spiritual blogs on here and I'm not in the mood to be rewriting any past blogs onto the new blog site, nope, I'm not going through the headache of copying and pasting anything non photography related onto new spiritual blog! Sorry, not sorry. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Side note: whenever you're doing candle work and there's specific prayers or psalms, pray genuinely as possible in order for your intentions to become reality. If it's certain Saints, be sure to leave an offering and be sure to do research on these saints prior to doing candle work. Again, pray as genuinely as possible while holding the candle and if you have a white tea light candle, light that first in Yahuah's Name and let Him know what you're doing at the moment, to guide you down the right path. There are three YouTube videos I feel you should check out at your earliest convenience: Yahuah/Yahusha Power Prayer; What is the real name of the Creator?... YAHUAH; and The True Name of the Creator. These are very interesting videos to watch and will check out YouTube channels with the history of Yahuah. I realize this is contradicting everything I've ever posted in this blog along with several other blogs relating to brujeria and yet believing in Yahuah but found this video, Witchcraft Breaker Deliverance Prayers | Pray in the Name of Yahuah - Yahusha and I'm going to eventually write a separate blog in regards of Yahuah, hopefully it'll be my last spiritual blog. I may revisit several videos and post them in the new blog once when I do my research, both video and articles. I still have books on witchcraft I haven't gotten around to read yet. If you want to get into astrology, I've skimmed through, The Complete Guide to Astrology: Understanding Yourself, Your Signs, and Your Birth Chart and want to create my birth chart but have to figure out how. Astrology have a hand in spirituality but can't fully explain because I haven't gone that far down the rabbit hole like the way I have with this level of spirituality that involves candles and divination (such as tarot cards but not yet with Runes or palmistry).

Blessed be,
Jennifer
*Caution: Be aware. Results may vary! Please be patient because your spells will take a hot minute for the universe to absorb your intentions. Don't lose faith and always, always keep the faith in yourself and in your spiritual work. When doing candle work, always keep a glass of water next to the candle. When doing candle work, never leave candles unattended. Best of luck!* 💗 😇 🤗 🕊 🕯️
