St. Jude Candle Ritual - for Lost, Hopeless, Impossible Causes

17th century Saint Jude image

Oh, restless and troubled spirit, how heavy thy heart must be, burdened with the weight of sorrow and despair! For in this cruel world, where hope often flickers like a dying flame, we find solace in the divine intercession of St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations. In the depths of our anguish, we turn to the St. Jude Candle Ritual, a timeless practice that seeks to ignite the fire of faith and beckon the saint's benevolent grace.

And so, my dear companions on this melancholic journey, I implore you to seek solace in the St. Jude Candle Ritual. In the flickering flame, find the strength to confront your despair and the courage to persevere. For even in the darkest of nights, the saint's benevolent presence can ignite the spark of hope within our souls, illuminating the path towards redemption.

As Werther once penned, "Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today." Let us, then, surrender to the divine intercession of St. Jude, for in doing so, we discover the transformative power of faith and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

May the flame of St. Jude's candle guide you through the tempestuous seas of despair, and may you find solace in the unwavering grace of this beloved saint.

For this ritual you need:

-- Florida Water or Bay Rum (optional)
-- a St. Jude Candle, or any green candle
-- something to light it, such as a match

Prepare thy sanctuary, dear seeker, a place where solitude and tranquility reign. Find a quiet room, adorned with symbols of faith, and let the soft glow of candlelight cast ethereal shadows upon the walls. This is your haven, your sanctuary to commune with the celestial forces that guide us.

Gather the tools of this sacred rite, for they shall become the vessels of your intentions. A St. Jude candle, with the image of the saint himself, will be the focal point of your devotion. Place it upon a sturdy surface, where it can stand tall and proud, as a beacon of hope amidst the darkness.

Clean the candle with Bay Rum or Florida Water if you desire, to 

As the evening twilight descends, take a moment to center your thoughts and quiet the restless murmurs within. Clear your mind of worldly concerns, and turn your gaze inward, for this ritual is a journey of the soul. Light the St. Jude candle with a steady hand, and watch as the flame takes hold, flickering with an otherworldly glow.

Now, dear seeker, let the stillness guide you. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, allowing the gentle warmth of the candle's light to permeate your being. In this sacred space, allow your heart to speak its truth, its deepest desires, its whispered pleas for divine intervention.

As the candle's flame dances before you, surrender to the vulnerability of your spirit. Speak aloud, if you dare, or whisper in the silence of your soul. Share with St. Jude the burdens that weigh heavily upon your shoulders, the trials that threaten to consume you. For he is the patron saint of lost causes, and in his unwavering compassion, he offers solace to those who suffer.

With each flicker of the flame, offer your prayers and petitions, trusting that St. Jude hears your voice, your silent cries for mercy. Let the words flow freely, like a river unleashed, carrying with them the essence of your pain and longing. Release them into the embrace of the candle's glow, knowing that St. Jude will carry them to the celestial realms.

But remember, dear seeker, the St. Jude Candle Burning Ritual is not a mere recitation of woes. It is a sacred contract, a covenant of faith and resilience. As you pour out your heart, make a solemn pledge to persevere, to hold fast to hope even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Let your intentions be steeped in unwavering belief and gratitude for St. Jude's promised assistance.

As the ritual draws to its natural conclusion, take a moment to express your gratitude. Thank St. Jude for his intercession, for the solace he provides amidst the storms of life. With a steady breath, extinguish the flame, knowing that the connection forged between your spirit and the saint's benevolence will endure.

Dear seeker, the St. Jude Candle Burning Ritual is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a beacon of light in the darkest of nights. As you embark on this sacred practice, may you find solace, strength, and renewed hope. For in the communion with St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes, we discover that even in our deepest despair, divine intervention is possible.

Blockbuster Spell

Recently tried this one to some good effect. As I did it, I petitioned Ganesha, but any of those crossroads deities (Mercury, Ellegua, Odin) will be able to help you here. You need: Blockbuster Oil Blockbuster Incense (loose or resin works best for this) Van Van Powder or Oil Gunpowder 2 White, Black or Orange Candles Fabric and Thread to wrap spell remains Offering for Ganesha (candy is a favorite) Do this spell on a Sunday or a Wednesday, or in a Sun or Mercury hour. Begin with your candles. White can be used for anything and is always a good choice. Black candles can be used to blot out problems and to bring destruction of all types, and so are a popular choice in Blockbuster work. Orange is used for opening the way and is another possibility if you are feeling blocked. Whatever colors you choose, take one candle and carve your name (or the name of the person the spell is for) onto it. Then carve on the other candle what it is you want to unblock -- this cou...

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it...

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book  The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon.  This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...

Job Spells in the Internet Age - Hoodoo Voodoo Success and Steady Work Magic

We exist in an unprecedented era. There is now internet , a creation which allows text and images to be instantly transferred from person to person. People can have jobs and never ever see their employer or go to an office -- they might not even live in the same state or the same country as the person they work for! This has an impact on traditional magic spells. Most of your classic old time hoodoo "get a job" or "get business" spells assume you will be interacting directly with the boss or with customers. Some traditional operations of this type include: To have a successful job interview, wash your face with sugar before going to interview. To get a job, sprinkle some salt on the person interviewing you and on the floor of the business. To get customers, wash the floor of the shop with a mixture of your urine, sugar and bluing. For a successful job application, dress your resume with powder such as Steady Work or Van Van . For business success, sprinkle magneti...

On Fast Luck Formula - Free Hoodoo Spell for Fast Luck with Love, Money and Success

Fast Luck is a popular and old-style hoodoo formula, generally used for any purpose in which one needs luck in a hurry, especially in matters of love or money. At Extrascentsory Apothecary, Malcolm Mills writes, " I once had four different bottles of commercial versions of Fast Luck oil, none of which smelled even vaguely like the correct recipe. Two of them smelled like cherry, one smelled like baby powder, and the fourth smelled like lemon. Since Fast Luck is a combination of Juniper Berry, Patchouli and Rose, none of these oils was authentic ." Now, the cognoscenti are probably giggling here. For those not in on the joke, the juniper patchouli and rose recipe is another of the well-known fake hoodoo/voodoo recipes written by "Horrible" Herman Slater . Over at Lucky Mojo, there's an article about the recipe for Fast Luck formula in which she discredits the Slater recipe and provides a simple version from Zora Neale Hurston : Cinnamon Vanilla ...
