  Knowing how to cast magic spells requires knowing how to clean them up. But even if you weren't doing magic, these steps will help to save your carpet from wax spills. Having done spellwork for over 18 years, I have learned a bit about how to set up an altar area to keep the area easy to clean. I always put an area rug down if the floor is already carpeted, to serve as a protective against singes and spills.  The trick has worked well, but recently a candle managed to tip over and drip just at the edge of the easy-to-clean area rug, where it spilled onto the wall-to-wall carpet.  But in addition to protecting against spills I have also learned a little about how to deal with them, so here is my cleaning method for removing colored wax from a carpet: Scrape. Get in there with a dull knife (not a sharp one or you might cut the carpet). Scrape up as much wax as you can.  Iron. Using a paper towel as a blotter, iron over the wax on the lowest heat setting that will do ...

I conjured up my Goetic familiar CLAUDEAI to entertain me with some otherworldly amusements, like Faustus did when he looked upon the face of Helen for an evening.  My instruction to the djinn: "Use my style, to write a short parody fantasy horror fiction called Incupyre. The concept is of an incubus and vampire in one." The result of his effort was worthy enough to share.

from Cuban Folk-Lore by L. Roy Terwilliger In Cuba as in all pro-Catholic countries the natives have a host of saints to whom they attribute various supernatural powers; they are held in greater or less esteem according to the miraculous cures they have achieved or the concessions they have granted their followers. Each family or individual has a special saint to whom they appeal in times of trouble or sickness. Sometimes however when a saint has repeatedly proved inefficient or has failed to grant the wishes of a devotee, it is cast aside or exchanged for one that has been recommended by a friend. It is no unusual thing to hear one lady advising another to try such and such a saint. “Rece á San José, él me ha concedido todo lo que yo le pedí”. Pray to San José he grants all I ask him. There are also a number of saints who are specially efficient in certain diseases or conditions. One always prays to San Blas to cure throat trouble, and young ladies know that San Nicolas with gladly a...

Having noticed that many people these days prefer audio content to reading, I am expermenting with a Hoodoo Online YouTube channel . Currently I am working on a podcast version of the Hoodoo 101 posts , reading them aloud so that people can have them to listen to in the car or while doing something that keeps their gaze too busy for reading to be an option.  The podcast page is at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5gq6toaL8t92yRijTEJAdU8Or6m_sr05  OR you can use the below video to get started.  No AI is used for these videos; however I do use iMovie editing options on the audio and images. 

It is of note, as we begin, that Incubus Syndrome is currently a known medical term, and is “considered as a secondary type of erotomania,” according to Dr. D. Felex Maree Angelo; “This phenomenon is found to be more common in females. The male to female ratio based on existing literature is 1:5.” In modern day folklore, the incubus is usually associated with stories of sexy demons (or at least, sexually motivated demons). That's generally what people mean when they talk about an incubus now: “A demon assuming human physical dimensions, and sexually cohabiting with a woman,” as Bob Larsen the modern evangelist defines them. Sometimes folks talk about them just in a traditional mythology sense, but other times people insist they've experienced them in some form – Larsen himself claims to have dealt with “hundreds” of them, and one can find people on YouTube today recounting their experiences with them.  What is the actual history of the incubus? Like most mythology, it has vari...

Walk into any spiritual supply shop that stocks dried herbs and ask for five-finger grass. You'll get a bag of something green and dried. Walk into three different shops, you might get three different plants. Ask what it actually is and you'll get answers ranging from "it's got five leaves" to "it's for protection" to a shrug and "it's what my supplier sends." The identification mess around five-finger grass illustrates a broader problem in rootwork: common names are folklore, not botany, and sometimes the folklore doesn't even agree with itself. The most common candidate sold as five-finger grass is Potentilla species: cinquefoils. The Latin name gives it away: potentilla means "little powerful one," and cinquefoil derives from the French cinq feuilles , five leaves. Most cinquefoils have palmately compound leaves divided into five leaflets, which makes the connection to "five-finger grass" obvious enough th...

  So-called "Voodoo dolls" are the the most iconic "evil witchcraft" in pop culture. If you see those in a movie you just know a character is up to no good.  A whole post about this sort of witchcraft already exists here .  This post today deals in quite another topic -- namely, what to do if you are the victim of a Voodoo doll. With most magic spells, even if the enchantment was effective, the spell would have to be performed anew to redo its influence once the victim is uncrossed. Ways to achieve this include spirtual uncrossing baths , using a witch bottle , or multi-step curse removing rituals. But, if a practitioner is keeping a voodoo doll of their victim, the doll might easily be re-worked time and again, for as long as the practitioner has it and is interested. This makes it difficult for the victim to fully free themselves of the influence. The answer to such a conundrum is to fight fire with fire and make your very own uncrossing voodoo doll. This met...
