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 Most of the material has been saved, but outdated links and posts that were talking up long-gone iterations of my site or my books had to go.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 While I've removed outdated posts and broken links, I've made sure to preserve the essence of the original content that has stood the test of time.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.

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...

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...

Carpet Friendly Hoodoo Floorwashes - How to Spiritually Cleanse Carpeted Floors

  Wall to wall carpeting only became common in houses during the 20th century, when the technology to make it cheaply and also the technology to clean it relatively easily (vacuums) made it much more practical than it had been in former times. In the old days, you had to uproot the entire carpet and take it outside to be beaten or scrubbed, while the wood floors underneath were swept and washed. Routine cleaning of a carpet would have usually been done by servants while the family was away on vacation. Nowadays a lot of people have carpets, and in many cases they're seen as a cheaper type of flooring than bare wood or tile. However, when dealing with traditional magic spells and hoodoo rituals, this can become a bit of a special encumbrance: instructions for floor sweeps, floor washes, and the use of colored sachet powders becomes an issue on a carpeted floor, whilst it is not an issue on a wood or tile floor.  Most traditional hoodoo cleaning and drawing rituals were made for...

Easy Spiritual Cleansing and Healing - Magical Bath Recipes

I've been having a rough week. For whatever causes, I'd been feeling particularly stressed out, irritable, and like everyone was against me. All week I'd been bathing in Florida Water, washing with salt, sprinkling herbs, burning Healing incense and Uncrossing candles, and dousing myself with Peace oil to such little effect. Then, I took this simple bath from Draja Mickaharic's book Spiritual Cleansing: Handbook of Psychic Protection, and it did better for me than all the week's work had. From the text: Add 1/4 cup bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to the regular bath water ... This simple bath has produced more testimonials than any other. Indeed, indeed. What magic makes baking soda so strong is unclear, but it's a famous bath additive even in non-occult circles. I first heard about it in beauty books that I read in high school, because when added to a bath it helps to soften the water. It's often used, there, as a medium for other fragrances, but i...

The Haunted History of Feather Pillows and Witch Wreaths - Hoodoo Superstition

I own two feather pillows. Recently I was finding that both had grown resistant to all efforts to fluff them. It was obviously time to buy new ones after more than 10 years. It occurred to me that if I pulled the stuffing out from one and used it to refill the other, I'd only have to buy one new pillow instead of two. I'd read enough ancient household management guides that I knew how to replace feather filling, so I went for it. When I cut open the pillows, I found one of them had developed a strange rope-like quality to many of the feathers. They'd grown matted and stuck together in many places. Lafcadio Hearn in his "New Orleans Superstitions" article of 1886 wrote: It is believed that by secret spells a "Voudoo" can cause some monstrous kind of bird or nondescript animal to shape itself into being out of the pillow feathers--like the tupilek of the Esquimau iliseenek (witchcraft.) It grows very slowly, and by night only; but when ...
