The Gift Of Bliss

"Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention." ~ Deepak Chopra

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. I know I've mentioned I've wanted to create a spiritual blog and write a lot of my own personal experiences. There's several things I want to disclose in this particular blog and how I respond to every little thing. I was outside saging one of my pink quartz crystals (have two pink quartz crystals) and have to redo my intentions that I wanted to "program" into the pink quartz because there was something I wanted to do on my own at home for a change. Since it's my birth month, I want it to be about promoting self-love since I'm going to be hitting 40 this year and it'll be my own personal theme this year. Well, my theme for this year will be promoting self-love; health; wealth; prosperity; and abundance. As I've mentioned somewhere in a past blog that if you don't love yourself, along with the good, the bad and the ugly than how can you possibly have anyone else love you? I hope in some way shape or form it makes sense for those reading this blog. You don't necessarily need to be a psychologist to figure this one out after all and in the end it's not other people for you to blame but self-love has to come from within and if you can't love yourself then I don't know what to say. I'm not a fan of blaming others because you have to hold yourself accountable for your own actions at the end of the day. If you don't hold yourself accountable for your own actions and thoughts then who in the world will? 🤔 If you're able to love yourself in a positive way then you'll attract people who love you for you, nothing else and I haven't had that positive experience in my own life because I've always had people take advantage of my unconditional love. After I came back in, my mother thought sage "smelled" like weed and how in the world do you get sage from weed? Go figure! Nonetheless, maybe she needs to smoke weed to loosen up so she's not so uptight. So this is a start with saging my crystals and I have other crystals to sage, ones specifically for employment and finances. At the end of the day, I just need to sage a lot of the things I have and hopefully my mom goes to Atlantic City, New Jersey overnight so I can spiritually cleanse the entire apartment. I'm sure she's going to say sage smells like weed, go figure and no point of explaining it to her whatsoever because she wouldn't understand! There are things that I've been thinking about when it comes to spirituality as of late and it's been an interesting journey for the past year or so. Although I've always been into witchcraft since high school but never did anything with it until the last two years. Just know that I'm spirituality sensitive, meaning if you attempt to do something sinister to me, I will know and will do whatever I have to do to protect myself. Since I'm not getting paid for my own spiritual work and not sure how many people believe in this line of spirituality without thinking I've lost my mind. I'll hold off on the wishful thinking.

"Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again." ~ W. Clement Stone

Another thing is I had a dream over the summer that an ex-friend had came back to New York from Atlanta, Georgia and I believe it was my son, Stephan who told me that this chick, Nargiss and her son, Amen had came back to New York because life in Atlanta was too much for her to "handle." I doubt my mother would have made mention of it for whatever reason she has and I'm contemplating whether if it's worth it to do spiritual things to Nargiss to keep her and her son, Amen in Atlanta, Georgia for good! I don't need her or her son anywhere near myself; my son and family. If need be, I'll head to Original Botanica in the Bronx for a Saint Alejo candle in the upcoming weeks. I had that dream on September 5. 2022 and it's not going to be my first time and nor will it be my last time I'll have these types of dreams. This chick who was once my "friend," I know she's still butt hurt over the email I've sent her two years ago just because I spoke the truth and she didn't like it (boo-hoo). Hey, it's facts of life and technically I didn't "throw it in" their faces and they can continue to live in denial all their lives but let's see how long this silent treatment will last. As mentioned before, if I could have done things differently, I would have waited until New Year's Eve to send the email by adding just enough that it'll be good enough for me. Anyway, let's see what happens whether if this dream I had will manifest into reality and I hope it stays as a dream because I don't need Nargiss coming around while I am at work as she's done in the past and I have to hear it from my son, Stephan.

"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own." ~ Cesar Chavez

I've been looking on YouTube regarding prosperity bowls and there is an item of interest at Original Botanica in the Bronx. I already have the crystals needed and will have to head to Namaste Bookshop for crystals as I'm figuring out exactly where to place my prosperity bowl and it's going to be very interesting putting together a prosperity bowl until I'm able to purchase a 35mm film camera than eventually upgrade to a digital camera. For now, I just want to focus on getting a film camera and improving my photography. Yeah, I understand that digital photography would be way more economical than going down that nostalgic route of film photography where you'd be spending more money on buying film and dropping film off at places such as B&H for film processing. All in all, I feel that film have that look that digital photography lacks. I'm well aware of how expensive film photography really is in contrast to digital photography.

Blessed be,
Jennifer

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]. In witchcraft, a "waxing" moon signifies a growing, increasing energy, ideal for manifestation energy; and attracting such things. 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! Key point about Waxing Moon: it represents growth, expansion, and new beginnings. Good for spells related to attracting abundance, love, creativity, and personal power. Think of it like "waxing" car.

-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. In witchcraft, essentially, "waxing" is associated with growth and building, while "waning" is connected with decline and release. Waning Moon represents decline, letting go, and releasing negativity. Used for spells related to banishing unwanted things, breaking bad habits, and cleansing rituals. Think of the moon "waning" away, shrinking and losing its light.

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!* 💗 😇 🤗 🕊 🕯️

Spiritual Practice

"Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention." ~ Deepak Chopra

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans. Namaste. I've been interested in witchcraft since high school but never did anything with witchcraft until recently and I've felt intimidated by it back then. Nowadays, I hold zero intimidation towards Wicca and I'm more open to the experience these days. I realize there are dire consequences, whether if your intentions are positive or negative and always keep that in mind at all times when performing any specific spiritual work of any kind. Keep in mind that whatever energy you put out there in the universe, whether if it's something positive or negative, that same energy will come back to you threefold. For example, if you do good such as being honest and giving back to the universe then that same energy will bless you times three. If you do negative harm to others then that same negative energy will return to you times three. For example, if you rob someone at gun/knife point then that same negative energy will return to you threefold. Same goes if you rape someone and that same energy will return to you in some type of way, whether if you're a father of a daughter or if it were to happen to your mother; aunt; [female] cousin whom you may be close with or even your grandmother! That wouldn't feel very good, would it [if the shoe was on the other foot]? Throughout this blog, I may include certain personal experiences, suggestions or even hypothetical scenarios on what do and what not to do before, during and after each spiritual ritual you choose to perform. There are four YouTube channels I watch whenever time permits: Witch of Wonderust; Magical Witch; Magical Crafting; and Spells8. These I will suggest watching first, depending on your current situation at the moment and my suggestion is to nip it in the butt right away! More about that situation later in the blog and I will admit it is very satisfying as a result but it took a while to manifest into reality. Take your time and have patience while doing candle magic. I will suggest Original Botanica on Webster Avenue in the Bronx [New York] for what you need: Candle and oil purposes, depending what your main intentions are at the moment. If Original Botanica is out of the question due to your [work] schedule, Enchantments in the East Village but be sure to contact them for their store hours either on Facebook or Instagram. Crystal wise: Namaste Bookshop and Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings. When dealing with the moon phases for a specific spiritual outcome, check out Moon Giant Calendar and plan accordingly to your candle magic. Check out Parlour of Wonders blog ['Candle Spells How-To Guide'] since the person explains candle colors, when to light your candle; working with moon phases; working with astrological phenomena; working with days of the week; and just to name a few. Another spiritual suggestion, always sage everything, candles, oils, sachet powders and crystals or whatever you're working on at the moment.

-Spiritual Divination-

"...But we also believe that part of our mission is to find our bliss and follow it. Life is a precious and delicate gift. How much of that gift do we squander out of fear?" ~ Dianne Sylvan, The Body Scared.

When it comes to spiritual divination such as tarot cards, I have several tarot card decks and two oracle cards. The three tarot cards decks I have are Amazon and the two oracle cards are from Namaste Bookshop. If you're looking for a tarot card table cloth, I have this awesome table cloth for tarot card reading from Amazon if you're looking to read for other people or for yourself (either way is fine). I've bought a Tarot Card Holder Moon Tray Crystal Holder for Stones, Crystal Necklace Holder, Crystal Storage for Rune Stones, Crystal Organizer, Tarot Card Case to Hold All Your Alter Supplies; Witchy Cauldron Tarot Divination, Table Cloth for Reading and Alter Cloth Moon Alter, Cloth Witchy Emridery Velvet Silk Touch Satin Celtic Cross. If you're looking to get carving tools for candles, I have an 8 Pieces Wax Carving Tool Stainless Steel Wax Carvers Tools Spatula Chisel Wax Clay Sculpting Tool Spoon Carving Tool for Wax Oil Candle Statuary Clay Tools (Silver). If you have a tarot card deck but looking for a case for your tarot card deck, I have Luck Lab Leather Tarot Card Case/Holder) Grey - for Most Standard Size Tarot Cards - Moon Design and I also have a black tarot card case but this time with the sun design. Luck Lab Leather Tarot Card Case/Holder - Black - for Most Standard Size Tarot Cards - Sun Design as a spare case to have on hand. When I do tarot card readings for other people, I use Dionysus Classic Design Tarot Cards Deck with Guidebook I had purchased from Amazon in 2020 and when I do personal tarot card readings, I use The Modern Witch Tarot Deck for personal readings and I personally love this deck. I also have Keepers of the Light Oracle Cards and Archangel Oracle Cards: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook. From the times I've done a personal [tarot] reading, they've came back accurate and I also done a [tarot] reading for a neighbor a year ago, he has mentioned the reading is accurate with what was going on in his life. My Best advice is to feel out every tarot and/or oracle card deck of your choosing. Every card selection is a very unique experience per person. I know this all sounds very weird to those who lack understanding of tarot cards. This is another suggested reading, I have How to Read Tarot: A Practical Guide and it's a hard cover book I purchased at Barnes & Noble in Union Square for $8 bucks before tax. I believe using tarot cards for the greater good. There are people who may not be aware that they are a witch or a warlock and roughly ten months ago I found two videos (both are part one and the second is of course a part two) on YouTube and both are to be viewed at your leisure. 7 Reasons Why You Might Be a Witch and Not Even Know It... and 7 Reasons Why You Might Be a Witch and Not Even Know It - Part 2 both are interesting videos to watch. I'm the kind of person who enjoys being outdoors more so than feeling like a prisoner within the four walls of home! Since I'm a New York residence, the winter months are different but I'm not crazy about being stuck at home.

-Spiritual Practice-

 "We are not evil. We don't harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. This religion is not a joke. We are not what you think we are from looking at T.V. We are real. We laugh, we cry. We are serious. We have a sense of humor. You don't have to be afraid of us. We don't want to convert you. And don't try to convert us. Just give us the same right we give you -- to live in peace. We are much more similar to you than you think." ~ Margot Adler

Last but not least, as mentioned before when it comes down to certain situations such as friendships and in a particular blog titled, With Friends Like You, Who Needs Enemies! If you are aware of a shift in your friendship, I suggest either speaking to the other people you have a close association with but if you notice a shift in their behavior, I suggest nip it in the butt right away and use the Waning Moon phase to get rid of any negativity. Another book suggestion is Power of the Psalms by Anna Riva you can purchase at Original Botanica in the Bronx or even Amazon and they have almost every psalm you can think of in the book! However, if you want the said individual to relocate elsewhere, purchase a 7 Day Pull Out Candle Brown that you can pull out; carve the individual's name and date of birth onto the candle, use Open Road Oil; Open Road Sachet Powder; Attraction Oil; Attraction Sachet PowderChasing Oil; Get Out Oil; Get Out Sachet Powder; other oils you feel are completely necessary to use for that moment in time; and psalms picked out from Power of the Psalms book for the said individual to find a new dwelling, however, results may vary (meaning, certain spells may happen sooner than others and others may take several weeks, months or so, depending on how strong of an intent you have from within). Set your intentions for the said individual to relocate, whether if it's somewhere in Europe so you wouldn't have to ever see the said individual ever again! The further, the better for the both of you since it'll be a change of scenery for the both of you if the other person moved to Europe. I had performed this spell on an ex friend, Nargiss and she and her son, Amen and as I've learned several months ago that they're relocating to Atlanta, Georgia at the end of June! 😁 I'm very proud of myself for putting my energy into my ex friend to relocate. I may as well forgive this chick, Pamela and I'm pretty sure by now she's brainwashed into believing that I'm a horrible person for sending that email in November of 2020. [They can be angry all they want that I spoke the truth about themselves and if I could do it all over again, I would've taken my time with what I wanted to say so everything would be all in one email on what I want to say.] If I could have done things very differently, I would have done so and would have been less nervous about Nargiss coming by when I'm not home had I nipped it right in the butt so she wouldn't chit chat with my mother. I will say this once but this chick think she's slick by coming around when I'm not home (specifically when I'm at work and I have to hear it from my son when I get home). Maybe my mind is overreacting as always. Well, the damage is already done and over with but if I ever found myself in a similar situation where there's a shift in my friendship, I would nip it in the butt right away instead of waiting until after sending the email saying what I have to say in hopes the individual would relocate to Europe for life then send the email. I'm just speaking on hypothetical terms if I ever saw myself in a similar situation where there's a shift in the friendship.

"The practice of magic is not evil or destructive -- Witches and folk magicians, through timeless rituals, are only drawing upon natural energies found within the earth and our bodies to create positive, life-affirming change." ~ Scott Cunningham, The Truth About Witchcraft Today

I've watched 'Protection Magick' by The Witch of Wonderlust and there's items I'd have to eventually purchase either from Amazon or from a spiritual shop to make protection magick with the ingredients listed in the video. I'm very curious on how this will turn out once when I have everything, I need to make the protection magick. You can check out this video, How to Make Black Salt - Protection Magic - Witches Black Salt Recipe, Magical Crafting - Witchcraft by Magical Crafting.

I had purchased this clear skull jar (not sure how to describe it in writing but will eventually take a picture of it and post it on here when time permits) from Enchantments in the East Village sometime last year at their old location before they had relocated early February 2022. My main intention with this particular item is to use it for Black Salt. There's a video titled: 'How to Make Black Salt - Protection Magic - Witches Black Salt Recipe, Magical Crafting - Witchcraft' by Magical Crafting. If you're currently searching for employment opportunities at the moment, I've found a spell for '"New Job" Prosperity Bowl' by HerbWicc on Tumbler. Crystals you'll need are Tigers Eye; Aventurine; Pyrite; Citrine; and Clear Quartz. Best of luck to those who are on their job search for something better and something to assist in paying your bills and putting food on the table for you and your family! Side note: If you want the candle magick to work wonderfully, best to use a Selenite Crystal to charge up your candles and/or crystals you may have on hand. For further reading, here is an article on 'How To Use Selenite For Deep Energetic Cleansing, From Crystal Experts' and best to Google search whatever crystals may catch your attention whenever you're looking to get crystals from spiritual shops in your area!

What Everyone Ought To Know About Spirtual Experience

 “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 know this isn't relating to photography and I also realize it's been five years since I've made mention of anything spiritual. This year will make six years since I've made mention of anything spiritual and about religion. In a way this is a follow up to The Strange Reality of Religion and I'm not sure how you'd describe this blog, perhaps a little more deeper than my first blog. Who knows if this may or may not be my last spiritual blog or if I may have a final follow up blog on where I'm at in life spiritually. I feel like I've spiritually grown since but more rapidly now since we're currently in the end times and my pre-spiritual stages in my personal life because I've had experiences in the past of where my grandmother (my mom's mom) had came to me in a dream at the age of 16 telling me in Cantonese that she'll be okay and not to worry. I remember feeling freaked out because I never had that experience before. My grandmother's death was never an easy subject for me to openly discuss but I know she's watching over me. Second time that my grandmother came to me was after the passing of my grandfather in June of 2003, this time I wasn't freaked out. There's not a day that passes that I don't think about them and I miss them a lot! So I know I'm capable of seeing spirits and the idea of seeing spirits and shadow spirits but that concept simply does not bother me much. I've seen a shadow spirit coming out of my former friends' apartment one Saturday night in September if I'm not mistaken and it was very interesting how quickly the shadow spirit came flying out, rushed past me into the street before disappearing into thin air. It was as I would describe it as a "comet" like but smashed up into a ball and I know it sounds horrible with how I am describing it! I have this book, Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense: Strengthen Your Aura by Denning & Phillips that I had purchased at Enchantments in the East Village several years ago but never gotten around to finishing reading the book. A spiritual mentor had given me these books: 

Books I've ordered from Amazon are:

I'm also looking to get Keepers of the Light Oracle Cards and Angels and Ancestors Oracle: A 55-Card Deck and Guidebook both by Kyle Gray. When time permits, next item on my list to purchase in the upcoming weeks is Gypsy/La Gitana Statue 10" and what made me want to buy the statue is when I first went to the Original Botanica was when I walked down the statue aisle, I said my full name (first, middle and last name along with my birthday) then the following day while I was in the shower, La Gitana made herself known to me! Believe it or not, it works. If you're unconvinced, visit Original Botanica on Webster Avenue sometime and try it. Two spiritual books I currently am reading are 'Raise Your Vibration: 111 Practices to Increase Your Spiritual Connection' by Kyle Gray and 'Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras' by Margarita Alcantara. Both are interesting in their own way but the Chakra Healing is more of an interesting read so far and I would recommend Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras.

I've been interested in Wicca back when I was in high school but never did anything with it because I've always felt intimidated by it and I've been curious about the Wiccan arts. At the time, I didn't have the resources and didn't know any of these spiritual retail shops existed at the time. In regards of religion, I've always had this nagging feeling that all these religions were up to something but couldn't put my finger on it. I still have my books on Wicca and they're in a container sitting on my closet shelf, I plan on keeping them for when they're needed. I've been looking at different books on Amazon and whenever I go to places such as Barnes and Noble in Union Square or to spiritual shops like Namaste Bookshop on 14 Street or even Original Products Botanica on Webster Avenue in the Bronx or Enchantments in the East Village. I also had the experience of going to Fountain of Youth on Fresh Pond Road for several items back in August of 2020 and haven't had the opportunity of going back since early August. I've also been to Lemuria Emporium INC in Richmond Hill, New York but unfortunately there was a fire at several stores surrounding the store around 1AM in the morning. I heard about it on the news but briefly thought about it and didn't fully put two and two together until several weeks ago. It wasn't until I looked it up online and saw that Lemuria Emporium was affected as well. You can read the article at your own leisure, Massive Queens fire that left 36 residents homeless sparked by lit candle in closed 'metaphysical' shop: FDNY and I hope they're not permanently closed because I've had a positive experience shopping there in November, shortly before the fire broke out. I've only shopped there twice in the month of November. There are two YouTubers I often watch and one of them teaches astral projection and the other does healing. A former employee at Walgreens had mentioned several years ago this young British guy by the name of Ryan Cropper and someone had him on a podcast as a guest almost two years ago titled: AP 160: Astral Projection & Exploring your Consciousness - Ryan Cropper. I've also been watching Shamon Oaks on YouTube and there's a podcast on Spotify titled: Shamon Oak's Ayahuasca DMT Trip Experience | Your Mate Tom Podcast #26 + My First 5-MeO-DMT Trip. What got me interested in Shamon Oaks was a video he had done where he talks about a past life regression titled Past Life Regression - Burned at the Stake. I've also purchased Modern Guide to Energy Clearing by Barbara Moore and Magical Rituals for Protection by Donna Rose. There was something of interest in Magical Rituals for Protection that I wanted to use on a particular individual that I'm no longer on speaking terms with!
 
As I'm growing in a spiritual way and learning more about Yahuah, along with the archangels. I would recommend Yahuah/Yahusha Power Prayer; A History of the True Hebrews (Documentary); 100% UNDENIABLE PROOF Of Our Creator YAH!; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 1; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 2; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 3; and YAHUAH'S BIBLICAL HEBREWS REVELED: Contrary to the Whitewash! to view at your own leisure. Everything that we've been taught in life was all a lie about the bible, notice everything from Hollywood when it comes to black face instead of using someone from that culture. I don't agree with that idea but look at shows like The Good Doctor and they're using someone who doesn't have autism playing a doctor with autism. Anyway, I've come across this website regarding Yahuah because I was sending an email to a particular person and used Yahuah's name instead of using "God." I'm not mentioning any names since this individual had made herself clear that she wanted nothing to do with me, okay, fine by me since she wants to play victim over what I've posted on social media and I didn't know she's the social media police (whatever but I don't owe her an apology because deep down she knows I'm right regarding what I've said in the first email back in November of 2020 but she's weak, *think of the scene from The Craft where Nancy says that Chris is weak in scene: "You're Going to Kill Yourself Tonight"* and she's in the wrong for how she was behaving towards me but payback will be a bitch in a spiritual way if you catch my drift). I was going to help her out spiritually because she had mentioned that she wished her parents would get a divorce, I was going to offer her two different candles of the back to back separation candles: Back To Back Candle (Black) or a Back To Back Separation: Red to choose from along with either the Separation Scented Custom Candle or Separation Custom Big Al Candle. Finally, there's an item to finalize all things separation is the Separation Oil! All she has to do was provide pictures and birthdays of both her parents for spiritual work so the spell can be a success... Since we're currently not on speaking terms at the moment, she's on her own with her wishful thinking and even if she feels that it's going to work itself out somehow with her parents going their separate ways, I highly doubt it very much to be honest with you. However, I suppose I'm not going to help her out after all if she's going to continue to be the way she is [a bitch] and all I have to say is she seriously need to stop playing victim. I must add lastly is this individual knows deep down she is wrong but refuse to fully admit it because I know she will go to my mother and bitch to my mother on what I've mentioned in this blog instead of having a conversation with me directly because this is our fight, this shouldn't have to involve my mother in any of this mess. At this point of where I'm at in my life, I want to care but I need to wash my hands clean so to speak because I have things to do and I can't worry about people such as this individual. If anything, I'll let the shadow spirit do its thing and do what it has to do to this individual, I will no longer intervene with the shadow spirits purpose but I will make mention of it once, the rest is up to the individual. As for this other individual, she can believe all she wants about her situation with her ex and I was also going to help her out as well to win her court case involving their son with Win in Court Kit; Court Case 7 Day 1 Color Prayer Candle; Court Case Oil; Court Case Cologne; Court Case Sachet Powder; and Win In Court Amulet. I've told the second individual in email (same email as the first individual) that the Order of Protection isn't a bullet proof vest and a matter of fact, these two individuals want nothing to do with me. Again, this second individual needs a picture along with her ex full name and birthday. There is a psalm in Powers of the Psalms by Anna Riva that she can use in order to win in court for full custody of her son before her ex decides to commit a crime. I couldn't careless at this point and yes, it does sting a bit but I'm learning from this experience on who I let in my circle of friends, I know what to look for if I ever find myself in a similar situation at some point, especially if there's red flags involved (which I've always seen but wanted to let it play out to the end) but I do need to come up with a checkmate first which needs to be timed out perfectly. I know what to do and I already have a plan in mind if I find myself in a similar situation such as this in the future. At any rate, I've been doing what I can to do some research on what links to use for this blog so people can remain informed.
I'll end this blog with a spiritual goals I wish to work towards is being able to work on my mental telepathy and as well as Outer Body Experience or astral projection, whichever term you wish to go with. I've been looking up different spiritual shops within New York City other than Enchantments in the East Village area; Namaste Bookshop in Union Square; and Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings on East 14 Street [it's walking distance from Union Square, it's between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue, across the street from Beyond Sushi and not far from iHop]. So far, I've been to Fountain of Youth in Ridgewood [Queens, NY]; Lemuria Emporium INC in Richmond Hill; Enchantments; Namaste Bookshop; Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings; and Original Products Botanica in the Bronx. I have my fingers crossed that I can search around for several items for my alter but already found an P.S 9" New Scottish Celtic Gaelic Twist Knot Ruby Gemstone Wicca Dark Dagger Knife and it looks pretty but I'm looking forward to eventually ordering this particular item from Amazon! Another personal spiritual goal is to improve my mental telepathy and outer body experience or astral projection (whichever you wish to call it). I also hope to some day visit Costa Rica since Costa Rica is in my top ten places to visit for my birthday and figuring every year for my birthday, I wish to visit different countries beginning with Japan; China; Dubai; Tibet; Thailand; and Costa Rica. I haven't thought of anywhere else to visit for my birthday but it would be a different environment on my end. Back to Ryan Cropper, a young British dude from England had talked about his experience in Costa Rica for Rythmia: Life Advancement Center and also mentioned his experience with Ayahuasca. Here is a video from Rythmia titled We Are Rythmia and it's gotten me curious on a spiritual level. The total package is valued at $4,800 bucks and I hope I'll have the money set aside for a one week stay in Costa Rica, then there's a chance to enter to win a transformation vacation for one week, seven days at most. A new winner will be chosen each month! There are different meditative music on Spotify and best to find ones you fancy most but will post selected meditative music in a moment.
"Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
I have found ten different meditations on Spotify and if you're one of many who may not have an account with Spotify, there's two options (one that is free and there are different payment plans available starting from $4.99 per month if you're a student for one account; $14.99 per month for family for six accounts; $12.99 for duo for two accounts; and $9.99 per month for one account all of which is one month free). For those who may not be aware, I have a Spotify account [the free account] and feel free to follow me on there: Spotify and have several playlists for everyone to check out. Who knows, I may fix up several of my playlists in the upcoming weeks.
I encourage people to do their own research or if I had missed anything, feel free to let me know so I can revisit this blog to add things I haven't added. By the way in case if you may not be aware of this but as a friendly disclaimer, if you piss me off once and watch what happens! Best to sleep with one eye open and find yourself the best psychologist you can. If you're looking to meditate; pray or whatever you fancy, I suggest one of the meditation from Spotify as you meditate and if you're looking for tea light candles, Amazon sells the MontoPack Unscented Tea Lights Candles in Bulk | 100 White, smokeless, Drip-less & Long Lasting Paraffin Tea Candles | Small Votive Mini Tealight Candles for Home, Pool, Shabbat, Weddings & Emergencies where it's 100 candles or your second option is the Bulk Set of 250 Tealight Candles in Metal Cups (White) 4.5 Hour Burn Time (Unscented Tea Lights). If you're looking for something to hold your tea light candles, I've found two items that you can add to your spiritual alter are OakiWay Meditation Decor - Buddha Statue & Lotus Flower Candle Holder W/ Flickering Led Candle - Spiritual Decor, Zen/Yoga Accessories, Feng Shui/Spa/Japanese/Boho Decor, Relaxing Gifts for Women; My Gift Buddha Head Sculpture Zen Garden Set w/Lotus Tealight Candle Holders & Wooden Display Tray, Black or Alpine Corporation WCT202 Tiered Column Tabletop Fountain w/ 3 Candles, 11 Inch Tall, Brown. Before I forget to mention, when you light any candle, please be sure to say "I light this candle in the name of Yahuah!" Then state what your intentions are and pay attention to the flame. It's great to have some tealight candles for spiritual work to your advantage and be sure to use tealight candles whenever possible.
Blessed be,
Jennifer
