Out With the Old, In With the Enchanting New! Discover the Spellbinding Changes That Will Ignite Your Inner Witch

Those who have been following us here at the Spellcaster's Source blog for a long time might find some of their favorite old posts about general magic, free spells, witchcraft articles and so forth have disappeared from the web. 

For a few years I've been trying to tidy up the blog, which has been online since 2009. It's been through different iterations of my main website, from Talia's Tarot to Lucky Temple to Hoodoo Online. As requirements to make the witchcraft blog "mobile friendly" also had the unfortunate effect of making it more difficult to search through the posts, there was good reason to simplify the content. It had built up over 600 separate posts at its peak, with no good way to search through them except by keyword. Originally I intended to delete nothing, but only to merge posts about similar subjects so they'd become easier to find. 

However, as I've been going through everything, I've been finding more and more old posts that were primarily about sharing some news article to which the link is long dead, or talking up some now-defunct spellcraft company. At some point, the only sensible course was to hit the delete button.

As of this writing we're down to about 390 posts. Most of the material has been saved, but outdated links and posts that were talking up long-gone iterations of my site or my books had to go. 

In the process of streamlining the Spellcaster's Source blog, I've also taken the opportunity to refresh and update some of the content. Over the years, my understanding of magic, witchcraft, and the spiritual realm has evolved, and I wanted the blog to reflect these changes. As I revisited the old posts, I found instances where my perspectives had shifted or where new insights had emerged. This presented a chance to add depth and clarity to certain topics, offering a more comprehensive resource for both newcomers to the craft and seasoned practitioners seeking fresh perspectives. The posts about the Intranquil Spirit especially show these updates.

Of course, maintaining the blog's integrity and credibility remains a top priority. While I've removed outdated posts and broken links, I've made sure to preserve the essence of the original content that has stood the test of time. The foundational knowledge about folklore, herbs, tarot, and other magical practices that many readers have come to rely on is still present and even enhanced.

Looking ahead, I'm excited to continue expanding the blog's horizons. Occult sciences and metaphysical practices are in a constant state of evolution, and I intend to keep pace with these changes. From exploring the intersection of modern psychology and ancient mysticism to delving into the practices of lesser-known magical traditions, the Spellcaster's Source and Hoodoo Online will remain a dynamic resource for those seeking to harness the power of the unseen.

In conclusion, the journey of revamping the Spellcaster's Source blog has been one of reflection, growth, and adaptation. By reorganizing and updating the content, pruning away the obsolete, and infusing new life into timeless wisdom, the blog stands as a testament to the enduring nature of magic in an ever-changing world. As we move forward together, I invite you to explore the revamped Spellcaster's Source, embrace the knowledge it offers, and contribute to the ongoing discourse that enriches the global magical community. Your journey of discovery and transformation awaits.

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...

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...

Reconciliation and Return Lover Magic Spells

I would say 9 out of 10 of folks contacting me about magic spells are looking for workings to bring back a lost lover; and I would say 9 of those 10 have already waited too long or otherwise made messes to the point where magic is no longer a good option to help them. For a while I was paying attention to stories of people who succeeded in bringing back their lost lovers with magic spells. I noticed initially a lot of people seemed to have performed the spells themselves, and at first thought that was what made the difference. Over time, however, I met a few people who'd had luck by hiring professional spells, and I even succeeded at several hired cases of my own. That's when I started to realize what the real factor was -- the people who succeeded were performing their spells right away, either by immediately hiring a professional to cast a spell, or by immediately performing a spell on their own. The folks who waited more than about 2 - 4 weeks usually never had luck. ...

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 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...
