Rumors and Myths about the Intranquility or Intranquil Spirit Love Spell

(EDIT, 4/23/16: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my new book The Intranquil Spirit, available on Amazon. This post is mostly correct, but has some incomplete information.)

I've done many an Intranquility Spell in my lifetime -- being that I'm a professional magic spell caster that is, of course, logical. However, there seem to be many misunderstandings about this important type of magic spell, which are circulating the internet and invading the minds of people who might (or might not) benefit from its use.


#1. The Intranquility Spell is evil.
The Intranquility Spell is no more evil than trying to get the same results by way of any other spell. Now, one might argue that the intent is evil, or at least selfish -- but I have had people who requested the exact effects which an Intranquility is meant to bring (desperation, obsession, pining away) yet who refused to do an Intranquility spell specifically on the belief that it's the spell and not the intention that is evil. That's rather like saying a knife is evil because you can murder someone with it, but that a gun is okay to use to murder someone because it's not a knife. The intention, not the spell, is what dictates the goodness or badness of a working. 


#2. The spell backfires so that the Intranquil Spirit haunts you instead.
I used to buy into this idea, but over time, I have come to conclude that the people who make this complaint are people who were either plenty obsessed and distraught to begin with, or else who were already inclining down that path before they cast the spell. (Indeed, it's an unhappy, obsessed person who usually wants to make their would-be lover equally unhappy and obsessed.) It does make one think that Intranquil Spirit spells ought to have a warning to only be used by people in healthy mental states, lest it makes trouble for a person imagining themselves cursed or haunted by it when their problem actually is rooted elsewhere.


#3. The Intranquility Spell must be done with a specially crafted, glass-encased, pink wax Intranquility Candle.
The Intranquility spell can be cast using any kind of candle. Even the standard "Intranquility Candle" is not actually an Intranquil Spirit candle -- it's a design called The Omnipresence of God. It is a basic Catholic religious candle whose design is being completely repurposed (possibly because of the eyes, ears and hands in the design relating to the prayer's request to command the spirit to overtake the victim's five senses, as well as the skull image near the bottom relating to the dead.) Some people also use Anima Sola candles in lieu of Intranquil Spirit/Omnipresence lights. In short, the Intanquil Spirit has no official imagery and all candles for her are repurposings of other things.
I have trouble finding the pink Intranquility candles in my area, and so I often cast the spells using plain red glass-encased candles, or sometimes pink free-standing candles. I've also used plain white emergency candles for it, in urgent cases. All the spell really is, is a prayer to a spirit for help. I would personally say that it's only important to use a branded Intranquil Spirit candle if you don't intend to use any dressing oils -- but once you've dressed a floral votive candle with Intranquility oil and said the prayer over it, the votive is just as good as the big glass thing.


#4. The Intranquility Spell involves using a cross.
There's a popular version of the spell, which you find on the internet, which uses a cross held in the hand or set on a table before the candle; but this item isn't customary in the traditional versions of the Intranquility spell. It's not to say you can't perform the spell this way, but I'm always getting questions about the cross in the spell as if it's a given, and it's just not a necessary element to the work. Most traditional versions just use the prayer and either a candle or a lamp.

THE INTRANQUIL SPIRIT SPELLBOOOK

Are you a practitioner looking for historical information? A lover whose romantic life is turning sour? Either way, The Intranquil Spirit may be able to help...

The Intranquil Spirit is needlessly feared and much misunderstood by people who have confused and conflated him with other entities like the nameless "intranquil spirits" that haunt the men of the world. The Intranquil Spirit (and his friends, the Seven Intranquil Spirits) are actually exclusively called upon for assistance in love affairs, and seem to have acquired their most negative associations only recently.

I have seen lots of the most difficult love cases helped by the Intranquil Spirit. He has brought back many a cranky, difficult lover that no other working could. Part of the confusion seems to stem from the way that the Intranquilo doesn't consider it his duty to stick around and hold the lover with you -- once he sees you're together, you're on your own. Some people interpret this as the Spirit "sabotaging your relationship" or "demanding more sacrifices" but the fact is, many other entities you can call on for aid will behave in the same way.

This new book, full of the latest research, shows you many variants on the spell, including traditional versions worked with lamps and tobacco (instead of candles) as well as prayers to the Intranquil Spirit and other entities who can help in your cause.

Magical Hoodoo Baths - The Original Hoodoo and Voodoo Bath for Luck, Love and Success

One beginning in the tradition of hoodoo should know about the importance of baths. They are vital tools in hoodoo work and cannot be dispensed with.  Many people nowadays don't have bathtubs, and some adaptation can be achieved by way of showers. Other people use a large bowl or bucket of water to pour on themselves in place of a spiritual bath. In olden times, and also in some places today where water on tap isn't common, people will perform their spiritual baths in a river or pond outdoors.  A spiritual bath is similar to a regular bath, but with certain key differences. Spiritual baths are not meant primarily for physical cleansing and so washing items like soap might be taboo depending on the exact bath type. However there are some types of magical bath that do use the multitasking property of soap or other cleansers, and in those cases the cleaning aspect is appropriate to the work. There is some controversy around washing the hair in a spiritual bath. Many people don...

The Ultimate Hoodoo Herbal Incense Guide

 Myrrh The other day I made a bath recipe for myself using some artificial myrrh oil (real myrrh essential oil being quite expensive -- about $160 a half ounce as of this writing.) Sniffing it, it called to mind so many other spells that I've done that I realized -- this is THE smell of hoodoo. American hoodoo magic, with its blend of African, Indigenous, and European traditions, has a long history of utilizing various herbs, roots, and materials to create potent spells and rituals. One such ingredient that holds a significant place is myrrh. It is not a native plant to the Americas: commiphora myrrha is native to the Arabian penninsula and Africa. It appears often in the Bible, and because of this was adopted into European high magical traditions. As I mention in my book Conjuration , incense wasn't much used in American hoodoo till the early 20th century, when the "catalogue culture" of De Laurence and others brought to it more high magical tradition and incorpor...

Occult Mysteries of Candle Omens: The Surprising Truth About Spellcasting Success and Misleading Signs

One of my most consistently popular posts on this blog is the Candle Omens post, indicating many many people want to know about how to read omens for their spells through the augeries of wax or flames. When I perform spellcasts for clients , if the work I have done involved a candle spell, I will usually report on the condition of the flames, smoke or interesting activity with the wax.  And yet, how valid is this for determining spell outcome? In my own experience, I have had candles that burned badly result in brilliant successes, and candles that burned well lead to dud results.  The first thing to keep in mind about reading omens in candles it that it really shouldn't be done if you are inexperienced in candle burning, OR if you are using an unfamiliar brand of candles . In both cases, it can lead to falsely assuming a normal event is something abnormal or significant. For example, there is a particular type of pullout candle which I have to go out of my way to ...

Perfume, Cologne, and Its Use In Hoodoo

The original recipe for cologne was reputedly given to St. Elizabeth of Hungary by an angel -- the concoction was known as "Hungary Water" and was used primarily as a medicine, rather than just a mere fragrance. Charles Godfrey Leland remarked that it therefore was appropriate hoodoo practitioners would use such a substance for feeding their conjure bags and other talismans. The term cologne actually comes from a later preparation, Cologne Water (named for the German city.) The original Cologne Water is a spirit-citrus perfume launched in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), an Italian perfume maker from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo, Italy. In 1708, Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Cologne Water, in honour of his new hometown. The Original Cologne Water composed by Farina was used on...

Sugar and Sweetener - Vital Ingredients for Traditional Hoodoo and Witchcraft Magic

Sugar spells are everywhere these days. People know you can “sweeten someone up,” and if you poke around online for five minutes, you’ll find love spells that ask you to write a name on a paper and put it in a jar with sugar, honey, syrup, or a piece of candy. It’s not just popular — it’s practically its own genre. But the real history of sugar in hoodoo is a little deeper, and as always, a little weirder. Traditionally, sugar was used to sweeten someone toward you — whether for love, kindness, better treatment, or even to grease a boss’s attitude at work. You’ll find older spells that use sugar to make a judge lenient or to keep someone from being angry. What’s rarely mentioned outside the tradition is that the type of sugar used could be significant. Yes, really. In older hoodoo practice, sweeteners were sometimes matched to the race or skin tone of the person being targeted. Molasses - thick and dark, was typically used if the person was Black. White sugar - for a white person. Hon...
