Introduction to Voodoo

Welcome to the “How To” guide to all things Voodoo! I will

be your guide into this mysterious and fascinating world
beneath the veil.

The first and only rule in all magic, whether Wiccan, Pagan, Voodoo or
Hoodoo is do not to hurt anyone, for what you send out will return to
you three fold, Good or Bad. This is the universal law of Karma, so be
warned!!

Do not take this guide lightly; consider all the other possibilities before
resorting to magic. True magic practitioners in any culture, live and
breathe magic in every aspect of their daily lives.

They respect the laws and rules put in place to protect their faith and
honour their Gods. So this is something you need to respect too. What
can seem harmless fun can, if done foolishly create nasty problems
within your life. But if you stick to the rules and use your spells for good,
you will find your life turning out for the better.

Before you can use spells from any faith, you must first understand its
history and the place from where the power flows. Rather than bore you
for the next 40 pages going into the history of Voodoo and its origins, I
am going to give a very quick over view of the important points you need
to know.

This is so that your journey into the world of Voodoo will be precise and
to the point, whilst honouring its heritage.

One animal features within the Voodoo faith more than others and this is
the serpent. The word Voodoo, translated is said to be “the snake under
whose auspices gather all who share the faith”.

The Papa (the high priest) and/or the Mambo (priestess) are the vassals
for the serpent to express its power.

In Voodoo there is one supreme deity, Bondye, a boundless entity which

presides over the spirit world but is not directly worshipped.

2
There are hundreds of spirits who are called Lwas. They are the lesser
divinities which are central to worship. The Lwas are not gods, but they
are most powerful ancestral spirits who were once great men and women,
Kings/Queens and divine messengers. Lwas control nature, health,
wealth and the happiness of all mortals. During Voodoo ceremonies
these Lwas can possess the bodies of the participants; Lwas appear by
“possessing” the faithful, who in turn become the Lwas, relaying advice,
warnings and desires. Voodoo is an animist faith. That is, objects and
natural phenomena are believed to possess holy significance, to possess
a soul.

It is important to understand which Lwas governs which

situation you seek to manipulate. Below I have written a
brief overview of each Lwas you are likely to come into
contact with for the spells I have provided for you.

Lwas

Legba – Legba is the guardian of crossroads. Legba is the most important

Lwas he must be honoured before any other Loa, and it is he who opens
the doors between the worlds. He is the one you honour when casting
your circle as he is the one who enables you to communicate with the
other Lwas. Legba controls the Good forces of the spirit world, the Lwas
of the day. The other Lwas will not communicate with you unless you
have completed this first important step as they need his permission.

Kalfu – Kalfu is Legba’s twin his opposite. Kalfu also controls the
crossroads but the in-between points, the off centre points. Kalfu
controls the evil forces of the spirit world, the Lwas of the night. He
allows the crossing of misfortune, injustice, bad luck and revenge. If your
purpose is for any of these things then this is the “guardian of the gates”
you need to honour first before any spell casting is completed. As always
I issue you with a warning, if your heart is impure and evil is your goal
beware the three fold rule!!

Marassa (Mawu-Lisa) – the Marassa are the divine twins, the first man
and woman, the first ancestors. They are the Yin and Yang. The balance
to life of good and bad. Similar to the scales, they are the Lwas you
honour when asking for truth and justice.

Erzuli – The embodiment of femininity and love. Similar to the goddess

Venus she is the Lwas of beauty, love, health and goodness. But Erzuli

3
also has a “dark” side and controls righteous anger, revenge, jealousy
and is a protector of women and avenger of domestic violence.

Ghede – Ghede is to the underworld what Legba is to life. He is who

controls access to the afterlife. He is many other things as well. He is the
Lwas of sexuality, keeper of the cemetery, primary contact to the dead,
the clown, the see all/know all, protector of children and the last resort
to healing when all else has failed. He is generous with his information
and if you ask him a question he will answer truthfully and to the point.

Ogoun – Ogoun is the Lwas of power, politics and law. He also gives
great inner and outer strength to those that seek it.

Ayezan – Ayezan is Legba’s wife/counterpart. She is the one who rights

the wrongs. She punishes those who make mistakes, not to be nasty but
to help them learn and correct their behaviour for the better in the
future. She especially punishes those who take advantage of the young,
the rich of the poor, husband of the wife and the strong of the weak. She
is believed to be able to purify surroundings and cleanse the soul.

Ayida – Ayida is the mother figure. She is the rainbow. Her symbol is
also a serpent. She is quite submissive and very delicate. It is said that
she is the Lwas who controls wealth.

Dumballah – He is Ayida’s husband and also symbolized as a serpent.

Together they control fertility in all aspects. He also controls marriage, he
will keep a marriage together and strong if asked.

Loco – Loco is the main God of healing. He is associated with trees and
herbs, when working with these things give thanks to him and honour
him and he will help.

Obatala – This Lwas is responsible for the forming of the foetus in the
womb. During a fertility spells it is best to offer this Lwas thanks and
prayer to aid the child to be healthy.

Voodoo Dolls

Dolls or poppets as some might call them, feature heavily in Voodoo.

Their long and interesting history runs down right through the ages.
There are many different types of Voodoo dolls from traditional to the
more modern. I will teach you how to make an all purpose doll that can
be used for any kind of spell. The pins and their meanings are also very
important.

As with all magical faiths you have to consider the Karma principle.
Voodoo Papa and Mambo use dolls for positive spells like healing. To use
them to hurt someone will have consequences, so be warned!! There are
seven pins all with their own colour and meaning:

1. Yellow Success
2. White Positive
3. Red Power, Self Esteem & Love
4. Purple Spirituality, Religious worries & Magic
5. Green Money
6. Blue Health, Work
7. Black Repelling negative energy

Basic Voodoo doll

You will need:

 2 twigs/sticks or even straws, one half the size of the other
 Cotton, yarn or wool
 1 square of felt (any colour)
 Cotton wool
 2 glass or plastic beads
 Glue
 Scissors
 Needle & thread
 7 pins with the above coloured heads
 A piece of clothing, strand of hair or something personal belonging
to the intended person if possible

5
When making a Voodoo doll, remember it is the intent that matters! You
don’t have to be an artist or spectacular at crafting and sewing, the
intent is what matters most. I would advise at this point not to use super
glue! As a trip to accident & emergency and explaining what you were
doing would be quite awkward and embarrassing!!!!
Firstly take the two twigs/sticks/straws and place them into a cross
shape. Bind the two together in this shape using the cotton/yarn/wool.
When you have secured the cross fully take the cotton wool and wrap it
around the cross to bulk it out. It is at this point you need to add to the
insides of the doll the strand of hair or piece of material. This creates a
strong bond within the doll and strengthens the connection of the spell
onto the intended person. Next take the felt and cut it into three strips,
one long enough to cover the body and another two to cover the arms.

Fold the felt around the body and glue it securely into place. Do the same
with the arms. On the seams at the back, take your threaded needle and
reinforce it with a few simple tacking stitches. Now you need to make a
face. To do this, take the beads and glue them in place to create eyes.
Take your threaded needle and sew in a mouth. Now the doll needs some
hair.

Take the wool (the colour of the intended person’s hair) and wrap and
style it to the top of the doll. Secure it using the glue. None of this has to
be perfect but do try to take some time to complete the doll so that it
represents a human form.

Now you are ready to use the doll in your intended spell.

6
Casting/Ceremonies

Before performing any spell, charm or creating a Voodoo doll, a circle

must be cast. The circle features in many magical faiths and it is
important to protect yourself within the circle and give thanks, praise
and honour to the Lwas before performing your spells.
You will need:
 Salt (Sea salt preferably)
 Candles (what colour depends on which spell/s you wish to cast)
 Tools of your craft – Altar chalice, serpent Voodoo knife, brass
Wiccan bell, cast iron cauldron, drum rattle, tri skull candle
holder, incense & burner. (All available from reputable internet
companies)
 Ingredients for your spell
 Offerings to the Lwas – Small pieces of different types of food will
suffice. Flowers are best used when dealing with Erzuli along with
sweets.

First and foremost you must find a place that you can be alone in so that
you can work and weave your spells. Somewhere you won’t be
interrupted and is away from the normal hum and drum of life. It may
take a while to find this “space” you need but over time when you have
tried out a few different places, instinctively you will know when you
have found the right place for you.
The second step is to build your altar. Take a hard surface, whether this
is the dinner table or a purpose built altar table, remember it is the
intent that is important, not how much money you throw into your faith.
How to set out the altar is entirely up to you and you alone. Place all the
tools of your craft on the chosen table and move them about until you
feel they are in the right place for you.
Now take the salt and pour it in a circle around you and big enough to fit
in your altar. Once you have done this, kneel down in the centre facing
the altar, close your eyes and begin to visualise. Imagine the salt being
alight, silver light surrounds you pulsing with power that is fed from
within you. The more you believe in your power and strength the more
your light will shine and the stronger you will feel. Remember the intent.
Now you need to call Legba and ask him to allow you to go forth across
the cross roads and call upon the Lwas you require for the spell you wish
to perform. To do this you need to say:

7
Father open the door for me,
You are the shield that protects us from the sun.
Open the grand road ahead for me
As I will so it be!!

Now shake your drum rattle and repeat the invitation three times.
You will feel Legba with you, a fragrance only smelt by you and you alone
will surround you and fill your nose. It is now you explain the reason for
your request, explain the spell you wish to cast and the Lwas you need.
Ask him for permission. You will know when it has been granted. Now
proceed with your spell.

Choose the type and colour of candle appropriate for your spell. Always
cleanse the candle as prior energies may linger on it even if it’s straight
from the local shop!! The best things to use are water, salt, pure soap, or
baby oil (all previously blessed and consecrated). State and engrave (if
you wish) what the candle is to represent. Anoint the candle with the oil
and focus on the desire (purpose of spell).

For ritual of achievement: anoint oil from the top of the candle to the
middle in a downward motion, then from the bottom of the candle to the
middle in an upward motion.

For ritual of banishment: anoint oil from the middle of the candle to the
top and then towards the bottom of the candle in a downward motion.

The next step is to light the candle. Some people do not use matches to
light their candles as the sulphur is considered unclean. If you feel this,
use an incense starter or stick to light your candles. To extinguish a
candle, snuff it out or wave your hand over it hard enough to make a
breeze to put it out.

10
Do not blow or pinch it out.

Blowing a candle out blows the desire away, and pinching a flame
pinches out desire. Candle magic is used with visualisation and intent
toward whichever goal or need you have.

Also, burn your candles on the days of the week that correspond with
your wish. This helps to bring extra power from planetary energies to
your goal.

Sunday is ruled by the Sun and yellow candles are used on this day.

Monday is ruled by the Moon - use white candles

Tuesday is ruled by Mars - use red candles

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury - use purple candles

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter - use blue candles

Friday is ruled by Venus - use green candles

Saturday is ruled by Saturn - use black candles

11
Oils

Sex - Cinnamon, Patchouli, Lavender, Clove, Musk, Vanilla,

your home.

You will need:

 Scrubbing brush

Firstly boil equal parts of Marjoram, Bay leaves and Rosemary. Once it
has been boiling for an hour remove from the stove and leave to cool
down. Once cool add the infusion to your bucket filled with tepid warm
water. Wash down all the wood work and floors from back to front and
clockwise around each room. When you get to the front door, throw the

not cut the bread with a knife or any other cutting tool, just break off the
pieces with your hands. Your partner will find this romantic. Break off a
piece of the bread for your partner and feed it to him/her. Then ask them
to do the same. This will strengthen the bond between you and cement
your love.

18
Blessings for your body

You will need:

 A White candle
 Sandalwood & Pine incense
 Salt
 A Bowl of water

This blessing gives the body the capability to open the channels so that
you can connect with the spirits more easily. This spell is best performed
at night. Light the candle and burn the incense. Prepare a bowl of water
sprinkled with salt. Put this before you and touch it to each part of your
body while saying:

To the eyes
Bless my eyes that I might have clarity of vision

To the mouth
Bless my mouth that I may speak the truth

To the ears
Bless my ears that I may hear all that is spoken and not

To the heart
Bless my heart that I may be filled with love

To the uterus

stems from the universe

To the feet
Bless my feet that I may find and walk my own true path

Extinguish the candle when you are finished.

19
Protecting your home

There are three simple ways of protecting your home, whether it is from
fire, flood, burglary or unruly neighbours!! As always for best results
perform all three.

You will need:

 Salt
 Garlic cloves (Lots!)
 Small hand mirrors (As many as there are windows in your home)

Firstly you can surround the exterior of your home with salt and bury
garlic cloves also around for good measure.

Secondly cast a circle and imagine your circle of light extending right out
to surround your home. Change the light to a gold colour which will give
you protection and then finally a blue colour for healing.

Thirdly place the small hand mirrors facing outwards in every window of
your home whilst saying:

Return to those what they send

My circle of protection does not end
RETURN TO SENDER!!!

This will reflect back to your neighbours or passing people who wish you
harm their bad thoughts and energies. Perfect!!

20
Wish spell

Wishing for things is something everyone does at one time or another.

The main wish I get asked about is for an easier life. This spell can be
adapted to suit any circumstances just change the candle colour to one
that corresponds with your wish and the flower to one you feel fits right!

You will need:

 Orange candle
 St-John’s- Wort (flowers)

Cast your circle and light the orange candle. Place the flowers around the
candle. Concentrate on what you want from your wish.

Remember all that you ask for - if it is for negative reasons, it will
come back on you so be careful! You have been warned!!

Now make your wish, and hang the flowers from the top of your front
door. Leave the candle to burn itself out. The spell will grant you your
wish and the flowers above your door will ward off evil as well!!

21
To meet with success

You will need:

 White candle
 A Mirror

This spell will put you on the path to success in anything you wish for.
Light the white candle and place it in front of the mirror. Sit down in
front of the mirror and cast your circle. Imagine the light surrounding
you turning blue for healing and then gold for protection.

Look into the mirror and stare into your reflected eyes. Look past them
and say your full name. Repeat it twenty one times. Speak your wish and
repeat it twenty one times. Snuff out the candle and await success.

22
The key to happiness

You will need:

 A White candle
 A Key
 Paper
 A Pen
 A Fire

It is believed to be extremely good luck to find a key. It means the

opening of doors to your wishes and goals in life. Another way is to
perform this simple spell to gain the same outcome.

Light the white candle, and hold the key in your hand. Now imagine the
door to which this key fits opening to all of your greatest desires. On the
piece of paper draw the door you have imagined in your head. Pour some
of the candle wax onto the drawing and push the key into it. Wait for it to
cool which will secure the key to the drawing of the door. Fold the paper
into a small envelope shape and pour more of the melted wax onto it to
secure the folds and keep the paper in place. Seal all of the edges with
the wax and leave to cool.

Once hardened, throw the envelope into a fire and imagine as it melts the
door opening and welcoming you to the other side where you will be
happy and surrounded by all you wish for!!! The spell is now complete,
await your wishes, they will come true!!!!!!

23
Birthday spell

You will need:

 Paper
 Pen
 Vase of flowers
 A Plant pot
 Some seeds/bulbs of your favourite flowers

On your birthday it is traditional to blow out your candles on your cake

and make a wish. To further your chances complete this simple but
effective spell.

Take the paper and pen; write your wish upon it. Fold the paper three
times and place it under a vase of flowers. Leave it there for three nights.
After the three nights have passed take the plant pot and bury the paper
at the base and plant your seeds/bulbs on top of it. When the flowers
begin to bloom your wish will be granted. Look after your flowers and
your wish will last the year through. You will need to repeat this spell on
your next birthday.

24
To make a wish come true

You will need:

 Paper
 White candle

This spell is best performed on the day of a new moon. Write your wish
on the paper and light the candle. Turn off any electrical lights and sit by
the candle. You now need to imagine the positive effects of your wish
being granted. Say:

As I sleep tonight,
May the power of (the Lwas who governs your wish)
Grant my wish

While concentrating on your wish burn the paper in the candle’s flame.
Snuff the candle out. Repeat the spell for the next twelve nights at the
same time. If you miss a night you will have to begin it again from the
beginning.

25
Red Spells

To attract a heart

NOTE: It is important to take into account that if this person has no

feelings for you at all, the work will be doubly difficult. Also, this person
must be free of romantic or marital attachments.
You will need:

 A large cup of milk

 21 red rose petals
 2 red candles

If your wish is to attract the heart of another then take a bath! While
running the bath light the two red candles and pour into the bath the
milk and the rose petals. This spell is at its most powerful if performed
on a Friday evening when the moon is full. Once in the bath, concentrate
hard upon the person who you have the affection for. When you have a
clear, mental picture of the person, recite the following incantation:

I ask Erzuli the Lwas of love,

To empower me,
To capture the heart of whom I see in my mind.
Now it is thus!

Remain in the bath for at least 15 minutes.

26
To charm your dream love

You will need:

 A traditional fountain pen with red ink in it

 A red candle
 A pinch of Rosemary
 A pinch of Thyme
 A sheet of parchment/paper

Light the red candle. On the parchment/paper, with the pen write the
following incantation while thinking of your desired person:

Erzuli Lwas of love, I ask of thee to intervene on my behalf to cause

(write name of the person concerned) to fall in love with me. Let it
be so!

Now mix the thyme and rosemary and sprinkle the mixture over your
written words on the parchment/paper. The herbs will intermingle and
empower the ink incantation, allow it to dry completely.
Hide the parchment in a place known only to you.
As soon as the spell takes hold and the desired person is under your
spell, bury the parchment/paper in a place where it will be never
discovered.

BEWARE: If the parchment is ever discovered, the enchantment will be

broken.

27
To win the heart of the one you love

You will need:

 An Onion
 A Pin
 A pink candle
 Three dried pink rose petals
 A plant pot and some compost

Start by lighting the pink candle. Take the onion and with the pin carve
into it the initials of the person you wish to attract. As you carve repeat
over and over again until you have finished the following incantation:

I ask the forces of the Lwas Erzuli to make it so that (speak the
name of the person concerned) is able to declare for me their love.
Let it so be!

Crush the petals and mix them with the compost, sprinkle the mixture
into the plant pot. Plant the onion into the mixture and cover it with
more compost. Strike the pin into the soil while saying:

Now it is!

Snuff out the candle and leave it next to the pot on a window sill facing
your desire’s home. Every night for the next seven nights, light the
candle and say the following incantation:

May its roots grow, May its leaves grow,

May its flowers grow, and as it does so (Name of person)’s love grow.

Once the onion takes root, begins to shoot, and finally blooms so will
your intended’s love for you.

28
Love Charm

You will need:

 Rosemary stems
 A Yellow ribbon
 A few strands of hair from your intended
 And/or threads from his/her clothes
 White envelope

Rosemary symbolizes remembrance. This charm is best performed in

April or May when rosemary is in season. Choose pliable, willowy stems
and bind them together into the shape of a heart. While doing this think
hard on the one you wish for. Tie the yellow ribbon around the heart you
have made to secure it. If you have some strands of hair or threads from
your intended’s clothes, weave these into the heart as well to create a
stronger link.

Place the rosemary heart into a white envelope, and put it under your
pillow. Before you sleep, repeat the words:

Divine Erzuli bless my sleep,

My true lover I shall keep.

The rosemary will dry with time and its life force will also fade. When you
feel the charm has worked burn the envelope containing the charm in a
fire, whilst thinking of your intended and flames of passion.

29
Candle spell to attract love

You will need:

 A Red candle
 Glass cup or lantern

This candle spell is best performed on a Friday evening. Light the candle
and place it in the glass cup or lantern. You now need to imagine that
the flame of the candle is the bright flame of love within your lover’s
heart, and that the cup/lantern is your lover’s torso.
As you stare intensely at the flame, the flame will rise and fall in time
with your breathing. It is the passion that you hold in your heart that
will make the flame rise higher and higher. Imagine that you are drawing
your lover closer and that the desire in their heart is rising. Say the
following:

May this flame of passion burn within your heart.

From me, you will not part!

Leave the candle to burn itself out. Repeat the spell every night until you
feel you have your heart’s desire.

30
To get a lover to call

You will need:

 A Photo of yourself & a photo of your love

 A Paper clip

This spell is great to use if you have had a quarrel and you want your
partner to make the first move to sort things out. Take the photo of
yourself and the photo of your love. Position the photos face to face and
secure using the paper clip. This means they can see nothing but you.
Place the photos in your underwear drawer and leave them there. The
person you wish to call will do so and quite quickly!

31
To rid yourself of an unwanted lover

You will need:

 Blue candle (blue being a healing colour)

 A small bell
 Eight blank pieces of white paper
 A Pen
 Apple – juiced
 White saucer

This spell is quite complicated but especially effective. It is best cast on a

Friday evening.

Light the blue candle and ring the bell three times. On the first piece of
paper draw a circle to represent the sun. On the same piece draw a
crescent moon, with the curved shape to the left, to represent the waning
moon. Stain the paper with the apple juice and fold the paper in half.
Then into quarters, and then into half and quarter again. While you do
this think of the love you once shared.

Burn the paper in your candle flame and put the ashes into the saucer.
Dip your finger into the ashes and write the initial of your former lover on
your head. Divide the remaining ashes into seven piles and sprinkle
them onto the remaining seven pieces of paper.

Fold each piece of paper containing the ashes into little envelopes. Don’t
spill any of the ashes when doing this as it will render the spell useless
and you will have to start again. Seal each of the envelopes with a little
candle wax. When you have finished bury each envelope in different
parts of your garden.

32
To rid yourself of an unwanted and persistent lover

You will need:

 Item of your former lovers clothing

 A Pin
 Chalk
 A Black candle
 Scissors

Take the item of clothing and cut a square large enough to write his/her
full name on it. Light the candle and using its light take the chalk and
write the name on the cloth. Whilst doing this think of them and say:

This light will burn out any flame of passion,

(Name of person) has for me.
He (or she) is gone I am Free!!

Now stab the pin into the candle and leave it to burn out on its own. To
finish the spell throw the cloth and the melted candle into a fire and
watch it burn. The person will now be removed from your life.

33
The Love Triangle

You will need:

 Two plant bulbs

 A Pin
 Two plant pots and some compost

If you are undecided which lover to take this spell will show you which
one is right for you? Take the two bulbs and with the pin scratch the
name of each person on the bulbs. Plant them into the pots using the
compost and leave them where they will get plenty of light. The bulb that
blooms first will reveal the one that is meant for you.

34
Fidelity spell

You will need:

 A pair of your underwear

 A pair of your partners underwear
 Two nutmegs whole
 A Pen
 Red piece of cord
 Envelope big enough to hold the underwear together

Take the two nutmegs and write your full name on one and your
partner’s on the other. Bind the two nutmegs together using the red
cord. Wrap them up in the underwear and put them into an envelope.
Sleep with them under your pillow if your partner is away. The remaining
time keep the envelope well hidden in your drawers where you keep your
most sensual clothes and garments. Your lover will never stray.

35
Curing Depression

You will need:

 3 Cloves of garlic – peeled

 A Saucer
 White vinegar

There are many ways to cure depression as it is just a state of mind. It is

a vibration that pulses from your mind and attracts more bad feelings
into your mind. A good long walk, being around happy people or listening
to upbeat music can cure depression, but if you are struggling then try
the following charm.

Take the saucer and place onto it the peeled cloves of garlic. Pour over
the white vinegar until the cloves are completely covered. Place it by your
bed and as you sleep the garlic will turn pink as it absorbs the negative
energy from you. The next morning bury the garlic cloves away from your
house and repeat the spell from the beginning the next night, and the
next night until you feel the charm has worked.

36
Dieting

We all feel under pressure from time to time to shift some pounds, either
to get ready for a holiday or for your own self esteem. This spell can be
adapted to fit any addiction to food. Use as a last resort or as a helping
hand!

You will need:

 A piece of the food you wish to stop craving

 A Pot with soil if you do not have a garden
 Three cloves of garlic

Bury the food you wish to banish from your life, whether this is in a pot
or in your back garden. Plant the three cloves on top. The cloves will rid
you from your craving once the garlic has bloomed and grown.

37
To cure a bad habit

You will need:

 Nine strands of hair from the effected person

 An Iron nail
 Wooden post
 Hammer

Most people can confess to having a bad habit. For some it is smoking,
nail biting, drinking and these are just to name a few. This spell will cure
any kind, shape or form of bad habit. You can use this spell on others as
long as you can get hold of nine strands of their hair, this can be to stop
your partner snoring and even leaving the toilet seat up!

Take the strands of hair and wind them around the iron nail. Then using
the hammer, hammer it into the wooden post fully until you can only see
the head of the nail. The habit will begin to break over time and fully
broken by the time the nail begins to rust.

38
To cleanse someone from illness

You will need:

 Toe nail clipping from the afflicted person

 Hair trimmings from the afflicted person
 A basic Voodoo doll

When making the doll place the toe nail clippings and hair trimmings
inside of the doll. Then take it to a nearby stream and let it wash away.
In doing this you are washing the illness away.

39
Healing from Afar

You will need:

 A Feather
 Rosemary oil
 A Shell
 A Stone
 A basic Voodoo doll
 A Pen
 Compass

Take the doll and dress it in a manner that suits the person you wish to
heal. Using the pen, write the name of the person on the doll, therefore
marking them as that person. Now take all of the ingredients out into the
garden and pick a spot under a tree. Lwas Loco is affiliated with trees
and his power is at its strongest around them. If you do not have a tree
in your back garden then try and find a place where you can perform
your spell where you can do it in safety and comfort. Dig a small hole
with your hands and place the doll inside. After filling the hole back in
with soil, use the compass so that you know where North, South, East
and West are from your current location.

Once you know your directions place the stone to the North, the shell to
the West, three drops of the rosemary oil to the South and the feather to
the East. Now cover them up with some more soil.

40
To alleviate illness

You will need:

 A Blue headed pin

 A Blue candle

Inscribe into the candle the name of the person who is ill with the pin.
Give offerings to Loco and then light the candle. As it burns down the
illness will leave the affected person.

Another spell that has the same effects is;

You will need:

 A Coin
 A Pinch of salt
 A Cup full of water
 A Pan
 A Stove

Take the coin and put a small amount of salt onto it. Transfer the salt
into the water, which is then put into the pan and put on the stove. Let
the water boil and then cool down. Once the water is cool enough (as we
don’t want any accidents here) take the coin and splash the water onto
the afflicted person’s aggravated/sore/ill parts of their body.

41
Protection from illness for the elderly

You will need:

 A horseshoe or iron nail

 Salt water

This spell is especially good to improve the health of an elderly person.

Take the Iron nail/Horseshoe and bless it by immersing it into the
saltwater. Take it to the garden of the person you wish to help and bury
it either in their garden or in a plant pot nearby. Make sure it is buried
well but that a small part of it is visible. This is so the part that is visible
can act as a conductor to disperse the negative and harmful energies. As
you bury it say:

Ill health I do tell,

Run through this iron,
(Name of person) is free and well.

42
To ease ill health that lingers

You will need:

 An empty jar
 Seven cloves of garlic
 Seven pieces of coal
 A three forked twig

This spell is the spell of seven and for this spell to work you will need to
find a stream. Take the empty jar and let the stream fill it. Now go home
and add the seven pieces of coal and the seven pieces of garlic. Now you
leave it alone for seven days. This allows the mixture to marinade and
become potent. On the seventh day boil the contents of the jar in a pan
and stir it with the three forked twig. Then leave it to cool. As with the
spell above be cautious and make sure the water is properly cooled
before flicking it all over the afflicted person, they don’t need burn marks
on top of their illness!!! And they certainly wouldn’t thank you for it, so
always make sure the water is definitely cool before continuing.

Once the water is cool flick it using the three forked twig over the person
seven times. This blesses the afflicted person and drives the illness out.

43
To get rid of a headache

You will need:

 A Stone
 Some Soil

Take the stone and rub it on your forehead. Now cover the stone with
soil. The negative energies that have caused the headache are absorbed
by the soil.

44
To rid you of persistent nose bleeds

When your next nose bleed strikes run out into your garden, or stand
over your pot plant and let four drops of your blood fall into the soil. This
works especially well if done at the base of a tree. Loco the Lwas of
healing is associated with trees and the offering of your blood will allow
him to heal you of your persistent affliction.

45
To cure baldness

You will need:

 Rosemary oil
 Almond oil
 Bay Rum
 Garlic oil
 Rosemary Sprigs
 A cup of water

Mix equal parts of the Rosemary oil, Almond oil and Bay Rum in a
jug/container. Every morning and every night rub the mixture into your
scalp.

If your hair is only just beginning to thin out rub garlic oil into your
scalp morning and night. Or to strengthen your hair and prevent any
further loss take the rosemary sprigs and infuse them into the cup of
water. Use the water to rinse your hair after shampooing.

46
To ease period pain

You will need:

 A good length of red cord or a red silk scarf

 7 Corks
 A Needle
 2 Red candles

Cast your circle as usual and give thanks to Erzuli. Flower offerings
always go down well. Take the corks and thread them onto the red cord
or fold them into the red scarf whilst explaining your problem to Erzuli
and why you are asking her to help her relieve you from this feminine
pain. After you have completed your task, close your circle and either
hang them from the bottom of your bed, if you have used the cord, or
place them at the foot of the bed if you have used the scarf. Your pain
will dissipate.

47
To break a fever

You will need:

 Salt
 An open fire or if you do not have a fire or cannot make one use
the flame from a lit candle.

Throw a handful of the salt into the flames of the fire or the flame of the
candle, which will turn the flame blue. As the flame turns blue think of
the affected person and visualise them well again. Leave the fire/candle
to burn out own its own. The fever will break.

48
To cure concussion or a bump to the head

You will need:

 Broad bladed kitchen knife

Warning: Do not do this with a very small child as their movements

are quick and sudden. Also make sure the patient also knows what you
are doing, so explain what you are going to do before you do it!! You
coming at them with a kitchen knife could be, well I think you can gather
the point! No pun intended!

When a child bumps their head or an adult comes to you with

concussion, take the broad bladed kitchen knife and press the flat side of
the blade against the bump. This will help reduce the swelling. Now take
it outside and stab it into the ground seven times. This transfers the pain
from the adult/child into the soil which absorbs the negative energies.
Whilst doing this pray to the Lwas Loco and ask him to take the pain
away. Leave him an offering next time you pass the spot as thanks.

49
To get rid of bad breath

Bad breath is one of life’s embarrassing problems. Sometimes no matter

how often you brush your teeth or use the latest fandangle product,
nothing works. When all else has failed then try these simple remedies
that have been used for centuries.

Eat at least one fresh raw apple a day before going to bed. Another is to
chew a combination of parsley, peppermint and fennel. Personally the
apple sounds like the best option for me and a lot more pleasant!!

50
Green spells
Coin & Candle spell
You will need:

 Five saucers
 Five short green candles
 A handful of coins (at least ten)
 Salt Water

Use the salt water to wash the energies left on the coins from their many
handlers. Once washed and dried place a coin onto each of the saucers.
Place the saucers into a circle and using a little of the melted wax from
each candle, stick the candle to the coins. Now invoke the Lwas Ayida by
saying the following whilst throwing the remaining coins into the centre
of the circle:

I call for you Ayida to help me,

I give you this offering (throw the coins now).
I need (amount of money) immediately,
So it be!

Now imagine the flames from the candles joining together in a

spectacular show of light. Lwas Ayida has accepted your offering and the
money you ask for will be on its way. When it arrives, make sure you give
thanks to Lwas Ayida.

51
Wealthy Week

You will need:

 Gold candle
 White candle
 Pink candle
 Red candle
 Two green candles
 Blue candle
 A handful of coins (Do not count them)

You need to start this spell on a Sunday night. Cast your circle and light
the gold candle. Now surround it with the handful of coins. Look into the
candle flame and say:

Thank you for the money I have already received

Leave the candle to burn down and go out by its self. Once it has gone
out gather up the coins as you will need them tomorrow night.
On Monday night repeat the spell in exactly the same way but using a
white candle and adding to the pile of coins, the coins you have
accumulated since yesterday. Remember to give thanks and say the
words above.

On Tuesday use a pink candle, Wednesday a red candle, Thursday a

green candle, Friday a blue candle and finally on Saturday a green
candle again. For each of these days repeat the spell exactly and
remember to add to the pile of coins everyday and give thanks. It is
believed that money attracts money and the more you add the more you
will receive.

52
Urgent money spell

Sometimes we have deadlines on when we need to pay for things, this

spell take the stress of worry away from you as urgent money will find its
way to you in times of need if you only ask!
You will need:

 One white candle for every 100/1000 pounds or dollars you need
 A plate you often eat from
 A green candle

It is important that this spell is performed at midnight. Take the white

candles that represent the money you need urgently and place them
together on the place you often eat from.

At quarter to midnight sit in the room with all the lights off (especially
electric lighting of any sort). Take the green candle and light it. This
candle represents the power you will be giving the white “money”
candle/s and of course so you can see what you are doing as we don’t
want any accidents!!

Now cast your circle. Add to it two circles of light, one of gold and one of
green. Pick up the main “money” candle and light it from the green
candle, as you do say out loud it’s money value (E.G £100). Place the lit
candle on to the plate which begins a circle of “money” candles. Light
each “money” candle in the same way. Remember to say out loud its
value, until the circle is complete.

Now give thanks and prayers to Lwas Ayida and explain your plight,
what the money is for, when you need it by and so on.

Leave the candles to burn out till they are extinguished by themselves.
The spell is complete and your problem now has a solution.

53
Lottery Luck

You will need:

 One Green candle for each number you need

 A Lottery ticket
 Grounded nutmeg

Light each green candle one by one and stare into the flames. Ask for
Lwas Ayida’s guidance and pray for her power to shine down on you.
Now sit quietly and allow each candle to suggest a number to you. Write
them down on the ticket as they come to your mind. Now sprinkle the
sheet with the nutmeg and snuff out the candles. Leave the ticket with
nutmeg on it for one full day before brushing it off.

54
To bring money home

You will need:

 A spare bank note

 Front door mat (placed inside your home)
 A Gold coloured object
 Marigolds planted in a pot (the plant, not the washing up kind!)
 Spare coins

This is a three step spell. You do not have to complete them in any
specific order but completing all three will ensure optimum results.

Firstly take the spare bank note, the bigger the value the larger the
returns! And place it under your door mat at the front of the house.
Every time someone walks over the mat and enters your house, the
money will receive a positive charge which will attract money to your
door! Remember to remove the note during the full moon otherwise
unexpected expense will occur.

Secondly take a plant pot and bury your gold coloured object deep into
the soil. Plant Marigold flowers on the top. Place by the front door, or at
least as close as you can manage.

The third and final part involves an incantation, a full moon, your spare
change and a window sill. On the night of the full moon place all of your
spare change onto the window sill. Do not count it. Let the light of the
moon shine down onto the coins, now say:

Ayida guide the moonlight

So it may bless these coins
And bring wealth into my life with its light

Your fountain of fortune will now spurt into life and over flow with cash
by the next full moon. Repeat step three at the crescent of the next new
full moon.

55
To conceive a son

You will need:

 A Single red rose in a vase

 A Red candle
 A Green candle
 A Yellow candle
 A Bay leaf

This spell should be performed at the most fertile part of your cycle to
achieve optimum results.

First place the rose in the vase and put it on the surface you are about to
work on. Light the red, yellow and green candle. As you light the candle
give thanks and prayer to the Lwas Obatala. Place them into a triangle
with yellow at the top, red at the bottom left and the green at the bottom
right. The number three represents the male genitals and sexual force.

On the bay leaf write the phrase “I wish to conceive a son”. Put it face up
between the candles. The next step requires great concentration and
visualisation technique. Take a deep breath, relax, and now when you
feel ready begin to imagine a rosebud deep inside your womb, imagine it
blooming and unfolding into a rose.

Now open your eyes, keeping that image in your mind, look at the candle
light. Visualise it being channelled into your womb and lighting up and
nourishing the rose inside. Keep this image in your mind for as long as
you can.

Leave the candles to burn completely out. Pick up the bay leaf, kiss it
three times and place it under your pillow. Sleep with it there until your
fertile phase is over.

All you need now is a lot of spare time and the co operation and
willingness of your partner!!! Enjoy!!

56
To conceive a daughter

You will need:

 Basic Voodoo doll but give it a bump

 Clippings of your own hair
 A photo of your face
 Fresh lavender
 Pink scarf
 Pink candle
 White paper
 Pen
 Yellow ribbon or cord
 Quartz crystal
 A Moonstone

This spell is all about the ingredients and preparation. Firstly you need
to work this spell when you are at your most fertile. The doll must
resemble you as much as possible. Your hair should be attached to the
dolls head for hair and the photo of your face should be attached to the
doll’s face.

Once the doll is prepared, put the fresh lavender on top of the scarf and
then the doll on top of it all. Pick it all up and place her onto a table in a
room with no electrical lights. Light the pink candle and place it to the
right of her.

Now take the paper and pen and write on it:

I wish to conceive a daughter

Put the paper beneath the scarf. Now fold the paper around the doll and
her “bed” and tie it with the yellow ribbon/cord. Put her beside your
pillow or on your bedside table. Place the quartz and the moonstone
beside her to strengthen your spell. All you need now is your partner’s
desire to complete the spell and bring it to fruition.

57
To know the sex of a baby

It is always fun to guess the sex of a baby that a friend is carrying! With
this spell you can amaze them and tell them what they are dying to
know.

You will need:

 A ring that is personal to you

 A length of cotton/string

Thread the ring onto the cotton/string and tie it at the top. Now hold it
loosely over the pregnant woman’s belly. Relax, take a deep breath and
let the ring start to swing, it will gain momentum and eventually swing in
either a clockwise or counter clockwise circle.

Clockwise - Boy
Counter clockwise – Girl

58
To help with an interview

You will need:

 2 Basic Voodoo dolls

 A bowl of water
 Green Cotton/cord

The other is the interviewer, so if you have a letter from the company
inviting you to the interview fold it up and insert it into the doll before
stitching it up.

Take the cotton/cord and bind the dolls together.

Now float them together in a bowl of water. With the spell now complete,
you will get that job!!

59

back of the photo. Snuff out the candle and carry the photo with the note
attached in your pocket/wallet/handbag with you during your interview
for guaranteed success!

60
Blue Spells
Mirror Spell

You will need:

 A Hand Mirror

Also a simple yet incredibly powerful protection spell is done with a small
or medium sized mirror you can hold in your hands.

While holding the mirror facing outwards in other words not showing
your reflection but turned to reflect out, turn in a counter clockwise
circle to banish while saying:

Circle of reflection, Circle of protection,

May the sender of all harm, Feel the power of this charm.

This does not send any negative energy at the sender hence eliminating
the cause and effect portion of negativity adding to negativity but it
reflects back anything being directed at you. So it bounces off you
instead of affecting you.

Circle three times full round chanting this or until you feel it is complete,
then make a closing statement such as: So Be It.

61
A Spell for Justice

Cast your circle as normal but give offerings and thanks to the Lwas
Kalfu. He will be your guide and aided power to all situations involving
justice. Choose blue candles for this spell to strengthen the results.

May Kalfu stalk those who dare

To slander me and cause me care
All that they attempt to cause me pain
Rebound on them and be in vain
Let the hurt they cause to me and mine
Be bound round them like ivy's vine
And when they lay them down to sleep
May nightmares stalk and waking weep,
Until the day their conscience bids
They tell the truth to for all to hear
And leave my reputation clear
All this I ask in Kalfu’s name
And wish on them the very same.

62
Freezing out a witness or legal opponent

You will need:

 A Pencil / Indian ink

 A piece of paper/parchment
 Vodka – a cup full

If someone is working against you in a legal matter and you know

his/her name, you can try a freezing spell.

Write her name on a piece of paper in pencil or India ink. Fold the paper
in half, then in half again until you can't fold it any more. As you do this,
imagine her influence freezing / stopping, that she cannot do anything
until the thaw. Then take the folded paper and dip it into the cup of
vodka, soaking it completely. Then put it into a corner of your freezer.

Leave it there for 30 days. Start this on the waning moon. It should stop
her from influencing people or things about your business. It freezes her
out.

63
Blue Justice Spell

This spell is especially effective to affect outcomes within a court

situation. But please take note that this is not a judgment spell; it does
not attempt to find facts, determine justice, and affix blame or penalties.

This is a Justice Spell that invites the Universe to step in and right a
wrong, to restore balance where imbalance exists. The final outcome is
left to the Lwas Kalfu, whose notion of justice may be different from ours,
whose sense of Time is eternal, but who applies the Law of Three without
pity.

64
What goes around comes around.

Justice may be seen to be done immediately or it might take karmic

form, but Justice will prevail.

The spell has two parts and can be used for any matter at law: civil
proceedings, criminal cases; trials or administrative hearings.

The first part involves asking for Lwas Kalfu’s sight into the injustice and
to repair it.

The second part of the spell involves binding the offender and banishing
spells can be used to augment it. As always, you can modify the spell in
any way you like to suit the circumstances that bring you to needing
such a spell.

You will need:

 A small jar with cap

 Twine or string
 A piece of Amber
 Rose petals to represent the Lwas Erzuli
 Frankincense and Myrrh (powdered) and Rosemary
 Olive oil
 Banishing scented oil
 A couple of coloured markers or pens
 Paper
 Enough water to fill the jar three-fourths full.
 Basic Voodoo doll

Cast your Circle.

Take your bottle and place it on the altar. Take the Voodoo doll and
using one of the markers write the name of the person or situation you
are asking for justice to be done/for on it. Talk to the doll and tell it all of
the things that he/she has done to disappoint and hurt you. Anoint it
with the banishing oil. Now, place the amber in the jar along with the
rose petals and other herbs. As you place each item in the jar state with
feeling:

65
May Kalfu look into this situation,
and bring the outcome to its true and rightful decision
Justice be done!!!

Take the doll or dolls in hand and the string. Begin wrapping the doll in
the string. With each wrapping, state:

Once around, securely bound,

no more lies/hurt/damage (delete appropriately) be done by you

When you are through, securely knot the string a minimum of 3 times.
Now place the doll in the jar and pour about a teaspoon of oil over the
doll. As you are dribbling it over the doll, state:

I place sacred oil all around you,

about you and below you,
to make your path slippery
as you have violated the Law of Three.

Now fill the jar 3/4’s full of water, place it in the freezer of your
refrigerator, and repeat:

Time to chill out, chill out, chill out.

Bound around and about.
I place around you (person's name)
the crystal sphere of the Mother's Orb,
mirrored on the inside so that you
will have to see yourself as you are
at every moment until you surrender and
change your behaviour towards yourself and
those around you into a more positive
behaviour pattern.
I ask the Lwas Kalfu to empower this spell and
insure it's working, only if it is in the
highest and best good of all concerned.
As I will it, so it is!

66
Close the freezer and leave that jar there until you are satisfied that the
person will not hurt anyone else in this way. This person is contained
from hurting you and anyone else, and is "chilling out". Do not worry
about them any longer.

Write out how you felt about this person/situation before now, including
what they did to you, and how you feel right now. This will allow you to
get the worst of the anger, disillusion, and disappointment out of your
system so that you won't become ill from the feelings. Burn the paper
before closing your circle.

67
Black Spells
Spell to banish bad dreams
You will need:

 Black incense sticks

 14 Dates (fruit)
 Black candle
 Banishing oil

Take the black candle and anoint it in the banishing oil, then place it
next to your bed. Push an incense stick into a date and then into the top
of the candle. Each night before bed perform this spell. Once in bed say
this spell for a guaranteed peaceful night’s sleep:

Take these crawly creatures

That creep into my dreams
Come feed upon these date
My offering to you,
Keep away, keep away
From my slumber My dreams now be sweet.
Feed to your heart’s very content
on this bedside snack and treat

Repeat this spell every night for fourteen nights and you are guaranteed
that the bad dreams will not return again. Sleep well!

68
Aid a restful sleep

We all have hectic days and often find it difficult to get to sleep as our
minds are racing with the days problems. Fear no longer, use this easy,
fool proof spell to get the sleep you deserve!

You will need:

 Thyme
 Basil leaves
 A cup of boiling water
 Head of a lettuce

Begin by brewing a tea, which is a teaspoon full of basil leaves and

thyme. Allow them time to infuse and for the boiling water to cool until it
is drinkable. Drink it before bed to aid a restful sleep.

If you find you are still having problems then take the lettuce head and
blend it. Anoint your forehead and temples with the juice. If you still
have problems which means you are having a full bout of insomnia then
drink the liquefied lettuce head before bed.

69
Another nightmare cure

You will need:

 A pair of tights or stockings you have worn for a day

 Silver Pin
 Black cord
 Black nightwear (dress/PJ’s)
 Black bedding (Duvet cover, sheets and pillow cases)

Firstly change your bedding into all black. Now take the tights/stockings
you have worn that day and lye them on the bed. Take the legs and form
them into a cross shape (X). At the centre of the cross use the pin to keep
them in place. Finally take the black cord and hang them from the
bottom of your bed.

Now get changed into your black nightwear and get into bed. Make sure
all the lights are off and your room is in complete darkness. The idea of
all this is to confuse the bad energies and demons; they cannot find you
to get into your dreams in all that blackness. Sleep well!!!

All purpose banishing spell

From time to time we all feel the need to banish someone or something
from your life that has become unbearable. This spell can be used for
everything and everyone! It is easy and versatile, but you need to
remember to make sure you are absolutely sure you want to banish
it/them from your life because once done it is permanent!

You will need:

 A Black candle for each set of four

 Four small pieces of paper for every thing/one you wish to banish
 A Pen
 Altar knife

On each small piece of paper write the name of the person/thing you
wish to banish from your life. Always do four of the same for each
thing/person. On your black candle, take the altar knife and carve the
word/s you have put on the paper onto the candle.

Light the/each candle and give thanks and explain what you are about to
do and why. If it is agreed by the Lwas that these things/people do need
to be banished from your life they will be.

Take the four pieces of paper and burn one, saying,

I banish (insert name) with the power of fire

Bury one in some dirt, saying,

I banish (insert name) with the power of Earth

Flush one down the toilet, saying,

I banish (insert name) with the power of Water

Then tear one into little pieces and throw it out your window, saying,

I banish (insert name) with the power of Wind

71
Let your black candle/s burn down. If you feel the spell has not worked it
is because the person/thing you have tried to banish is not meant to be
removed from your life at this time. Be patient, wait, they still have a
purpose!

72
Spell reversal

It is unfortunate but necessary sometimes to reverse spells you have

cast. It is always better to sit and really consider before casting any spell
whether you really need to do it, what your reasons are and are your
intentions true and unselfish? Sometimes even the best intentions go
astray and a spell reversal is the only option. If so follow these steps and
your spell will be reversed if it is meant to be.

You will need:

 Benzoin incense
 Angelica herb
 Anoint your candles with Rosemary oil
 Lots of white and black candles, as many as you see fit
 A bead similar to a pearl
 A small square of black cloth
 Black cord

This spell is best performed at midnight and during a waning moon.

You need to say the spell while you work. Firstly light your candles cast
your circle and begin by saying:

I cast a spell asking (what spell you cast)

I now ask the favour of having the spell removed
I understand to take back a spell means giving up something of my
own to show my spirit is true and my intentions are good.
I give this pearl from a necklace I own
I transfer the spell into the pearl and render the spell dormant
No harm will come from the cancellation of this spell
No further power shall it have
This is my will
So it is!!

Take the pearl and put it in the black cloth, add the Angelica herbs and
tie it up tightly with the black cord. Now dribble a little wax from the
candle as you tie the final knot. Throw the package you have created as
far away from your home as possible. Your spell is now reversed.

Animals in Voodoo
Before we can look into the spells and rituals in which animal sacrifice is
used we must first understand the reason for it.

Animal sacrifice is a method of consecrating food for consumption by

followers of Voodoo, their gods and ancestors. The main animals used
are goat, sheep, chicken, and sometimes even dog (this is unthinkable in
our culture today). They are usually humanely killed by slitting their
throats. The blood is then collected into a vessel/chalice. If the animal
sacrifice is used in a ceremony involving a large gathering then the
possessed dancer may drink some of the blood. The hunger of the Lwas
is then believed to be satisfied. The animal is then cooked and eaten in
the feast. Think of animal sacrifice as an aide to your spells not a spell
on its own. The sacrifice of the animal is meant as an offering to the
Lwas you are asking help or advice from.

All of the spells in this book can be strengthened by an animal sacrifice.

You will know yourself when you need to make the choice on whether to
add this type of strength to your spells. Although when practicing animal
sacrifice you need to be aware that there are some specific rules and
guidelines you need to adhere to. This should be done above all else.
These are:

 The place where the sacrifice is to take place must be decorated

with garlands and flowers. This is so the animal is at all times
treated with honour. The altar must be ritually marked out as
sacred and the correct altar cloth used.

 A fire must be lit on altar.

 A basket must be kept on the altar containing barley grain. The

grain must be thrown at the sacrifice by all the participants, and
the sacrificial knife must be kept out of sight beneath the grain.

 The sprinkling of blessed spring water and the casting of the

grain should be done at the beginning of the ritual.

 The practitioner must also cut a few hairs from the animal's
forehead.

74
  The sacrifice’s head must be pulled back and raised towards the
sky and using the sacrificial knife, have its throat cut.

 Songs should be sung and music played on drums and rattles.

 The animal should then be left to “bleed out” whilst hung upside
down.

 The blood should be collected in the sacrificial chalice and then

poured over the altar after being offered to the Lwas.

 Once the sacrifice is fully “bled out” it should then be skinned

and butchered.

 Depending on the spell and the Lwas you are giving the offering
to, the heart should be torn still beating from the body of the
sacrifice before all else.

 The entrails (heart, lungs, liver and kidneys) should then be

removed, skewered and roasted separately.

 The remainder, the tail, gallbladder and above all the thigh-bones
should be wrapped in fat and burnt on the altar as an offering to
the Lwas.

 The lean meat should be roasted and distributed among the

participants so that the sacrifice ends in a feast.

75
Crystal Balls
Crystal balls are a sacred item and should be treated as one. You are the
only person that should use it, let no one touch it and make sure you
honour it by keeping it in a special place when you are not using it.
When taking it out of the house, use a special bag to transport it.
Remember the ball is like a person or spirit; do not just think of it as an
item, because you will be sorely mistaken if you do!!

To personalize your ball and create a better connection with it you

should name it, it will usually tell you its name the more you work with
it. You will find it is female, most crystal balls are, and it is a very rare to
find one that is male.

Now you have your crystal ball how do you use it? Well follow the simple
steps below and you will wonder how you every lived without her!!

 Place the crystal ball on the same table/surface that you use for
your altar. Place it in front of you. Most balls come with a stand
supplied with it but if you don’t like the stand then you can buy
your own separately from any good store. In the meantime you can
use a cushion that you especially like.

 Turn off the lights. Get comfortable. Light a few candles, if you
wish play some back ground music, anything that allows you to
feel relaxed and in tune to your inner magical self.

 Once comfortable pick up the ball with both hands and allow your
energy to pour into her. This is the first time you will bond and you
both need to learn about each other. It’s all very similar to going on
your first date!

 After a few minutes begin to think about the purpose you have in
this scrying session. Imagine in your mind all that you want to
achieve and then transfer this image into the ball. When you feel
that you have completed this visualisation and have transferred it
to the ball and she has understood, place her back onto her stand.

 Now you have removed your hands, look straight into the centre of
the ball, right into the depths of her, stare deeply. Allow your eyes
to relax and become unfocussed.

76
  After a short time you should begin to see images appearing in a
misty type smoke. Imagine the misty smoke clearing and the
images becoming brighter and easier to see. The images will be
revealed to you. Please note that the images that you see may not
be what you expect as answers to questions often come in strange
forms that make sense later on. Don’t try and rationalize them now
as none of it will make sense yet, just go with it and let the images
flow and change as they wish to.

 When the images begin to fade, don’t worry, you have seen all you
are meant to at this point in time. Begin to imagine now the misty
smoke covering the images and them fading away until the ball
becomes clear again.

 Adjust your eyes back to normal, the first time you may feel a little
disorientated but this will improve over time. So don’t try to stand
straight away as you will probably fall over as your balance will be
out of place. So please, be careful and rise slowly and only when
you are ready.

 Praise your crystal ball and thank her for the images that she
allowed you to see. Place your hand on her for one final time,
sealing the bond between you.


You need to practice with your ball as often as possible to forge a special
bond that will improve over time. In the Voodoo faith, being able to scry
using a crystal ball is considered a great gift from Ghede, the seer of all,
the knower of all. If you are able to develop this gift then you are truly
blessed and are more powerful than you probably realise. Although not
everyone is able to use this gift successfully, do not worry it just means
you have power and strength in another area of Voodoo that is just as
treasured and important!

Best of Luck
May Ghede look down on you and bathe you with his sight, So it be!

Voodoo Tarot
The final part of this Voodoo eBook is probably one of the most important
subjects, Voodoo Tarot. All magical faiths have their own tarot, they are
used to predict the future, give answers to many questions and help in
all different kinds of situations. Tarot readings can be given by a
beginner or a specialist reader.

The only golden rule with tarot is that you cannot purchase your own
cards; they have to be given to you as a gift. There are hundreds of
different styles all with their own meanings available to the reader. The
choice of cards is left unfortunately to a third party, be sure to guide
them well and they will hopefully buy you the ones you want without
realising!!!

The traditional deck used by Voodoo practitioners is the New Orleans

Voodoo Tarot deck. For beginners it is quite complicated and requires a
lot of study and practice. I have tried my best to make this guide as
simple as possible allowing you to be able to try the cards and read them
without too much difficulty.

The first thing you will notice is that this deck has more cards than a
standard deck you may be used to. There are twenty-two cards which
correspond with the traditional cards of the major arcana. Forty cards in
the deck are numbered 1 through 10, and are in four suits: Fire, Water,
Air, and Earth. Also each of these forty cards follows a particular cultural
tradition: Petro, Rada, Congo, and Santeria, which are variations of
Voodoo religion. There are sixteen temple cards, rounding out the deck:
four of each Drum (King/Wand), Serpent (Queen/Cup), Crossroads and
Machete (Prince/Sword), and Calabash (Princess/Pentacle).

Have I lost you yet? I hope not. As I said these cards are complicated and
require a lot of explanation. I believe the best way to approach this is
that we should do it in “bite size” pieces. This means it is probably best
to read this section over a few days rather than in one go, as it is too
much to take in one sitting. I don’t want to give you a headache!!!!!

Spreads

There are hundreds of Tarot spreads when you look into Tarot, which
can seem daunting and confusing. But don’t worry, to help you I have
sifted through them all and I have found the simplest ones are the best
for beginners. I will give you two examples of simple spreads that you can
learn from:

5 Card Spread

Take the cards and shuffle them. Give them to the questioner and ask
them to hold them. Place your hands over theirs and ask them to “bang”
on top of the cards, as they do say “This is your deck”. This enables past
energies that are left in the cards to be dissipated and only their energies
remain, making the spread their own and not influenced by anyone else.
Ask them to shuffle them and when they feel it is time to stop, place
them into three piles. Get them to choose a pile; this is the pile you will
read from. Now the spread:

Card 1 = Past
Card 2 = More recent past
Card 3 = Present
Card 4 = The Near future
Card 5 = Future

Card 1 looks at occurrences or influences which have happened within

the past 3 weeks. Card 2 has happened within the past 1 or 2 weeks.
Card 3 is self explanatory. Card 4 will happen within the next 1to 2
weeks and card 5 within the next 3 weeks. If you need to look deeper into
the past or the future, I recommend that you add a card to cards 1 and 5
making it a 7-card spread, it can help.

Daily Tarot Spreads

There are two daily spreads I am going to teach you. It is best to use
these spreads to bond with your pack and learn your cards intimately.

Card 1: Morning
Card 2: Afternoon
Card 3: Night

Or try:
