Simple Candle Working 🕯

Simple Candle Cleansing Work

Do you want to cleanse yourself of any and all evil with one quick ritual? Well, keep reading because I have just the ritual for you. 

So, I am going to give you this simple ritual that will help you if you have been feeling down or stuck. This is a personal ritual that I do when I am feeling stuck, and it’s something that is simple to do. However, 🚨a word of caution 🚨, if you are afraid to use or work with fire, then I would caution you against doing this work. 

I will give any alternative work that you can do that is similar. This alternative is effective as well, but it works without fire. 

So, let’s get into it. First, I will list all of the things you will need. 

Materials

1. A candle (A White or Black candle. Either is fine, but I prefer to work with white candles.)

2. A candle holder or plate - To place your candle on, so it can burn down. 

3. A lighter or matches - to light the candle

4. The Bible - (If you don’t have one then that is fine, you will have to look up the different passages online. 

Now, we have all of the materials, here is what you are going to do. 

First, you are going to take your candle and you are going to pray over the candle. The prayers that I normally use are the Lord’s Prayer, Deuteronomy 20 1-4, and Psalm 104. The reason I use this psalm is because this is a psalm that brings blessings to objects or items you are using. So, you will take the candle in your hand and you will pray Psalm 104 all over the candle, you will want to make sure your breath is hitting the candle. 

Then, you will take the candle and you will begin to rub it on yourself, from the top of your head to the soles of your feet, and everything in between. You are going to rub this candle all over you, like you are doing an egg cleanse, and while you are doing this, you will recite the Lord’s Prayer. If you don’t know it, I will place this here: 

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”

You will recite this while rubbing the candle on yourself, and you are going to focus and envision the candle absorbing all of the evil and negativity that has been on you. Once you have finished rubbing the candle all across your body, you will then place the candle in the candle holder, and you are going to light the candle, and you are going to pray Deuteronomy 20: 1-4. If you don’t know it, I will place this passage here:

20 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be thou not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 

3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, brother be ye terrified because of them; 

4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Now, you're done! 

Everything is finished; you are just letting the candle burn down. The reason for this is that the candle has absorbed all of the negative energy from you, and now you have said your prayers and declarations over the candle. Now, the final step is for you to burn all of the negative energy, blockage, and bindings that the candle absorbed. This candle work is using fire to burn away all evil that may have been weighing you down. 

Finally, we are arriving at the end of this article, but I did promise to give you guys a different version you can do without using fire. So, what you can do would be to do a regular egg cleanse, or if you don’t want to do that, then you could use a candle, and do everything the same, but instead of lighting the candle, you can take the candle, and you are going to go to an area that you never frequent. You will go somewhere, preferably with a trash can or dumpster. You will then say, “I break all bindings and blockages from my mind, body, and spirit.” Next, you snap the candle in half and throw it into the dumper. You then walk away without looking back, and the ritual is complete. 

Finally, this is the end of these rituals you can do to remove all evil from yourself. I will leave a link here for my in-depth egg cleanse article, so you can read how to do it, or look it up on YouTube. I believe now, more than ever it’s imperative to protect yourself. Many unseen energies and spirits are lurking around trying to harm people. So, it’s up to us to protect ourselves from these malignant dangers.

Working with the Saints of Hoodoo

Hello all, in this article, I will be talking about the different saints of Hoodoo, which saints to work with, and how to develop a deeper relationship with the different saints you want to build a relationship with.  

In Hoodoo, working with many different spirits is essential. There are many different types of spirits you can work with, but saints are very powerful intercessors to help your spiritual work come into fruition. It is important to mention that not every saint you can work with in regards to Hoodoo or spellwork; some saints are not commonly asked to intercede with spiritual matters, and others are very helpful in assisting spiritual workers. 

So, let’s get started with understanding which spirits to work with and how you start the process of building a working relationship with them. 

I want to start by telling a little story. There was a time many years ago when I was contacted by a person who needed some spiritual assistance. They were waiting on a payment that was being sent to them, but the time the payment would be sent out and processed would take weeks, and they had bills they needed to take care of. So, what I did was, immediately, I thought to ask for the intercession of Saint Expedite, who is a patron saint of fast and speedy results. I got to work, I got all of the supplies that I needed to begin the offering, and I will detail the information of the ritual, which is simple but effective. The work consists of a few things: you will need a red candle, and this could be a stick candle or a glass candle; it doesn’t matter, and you will need some red wine, a whole pound cake, and a picture or statue of Saint Expedite. 

You begin by starting with the red candle. You will want to get a pencil and carve your name or the name of the person you are working for on the candle. You will then want to carve the petition on the candle if it is a pillar or stick candle; if it is a glass candle, you will get a brown paper bag and write out your name and the petition on the paper. You will then want to place all of the items on your altar and set them up in the order they need to be set in. You set these items up in a triangle, and you place the pound cake first as the tip of the triangle, then you place the candle on the left-hand side of the triangle, then you place the picture of Saint Expedite on the left side of the triangle, and you place the glass of red wine near the pound cake. You then light the candle and pray to Saint Expedite. There is a standard prayer which you can say:

“ Our dear martyr and protector, Saint Expedite, You who know what is necessary and what is urgently needed. I beg you to intercede before the Holy Trinity, that by your grace, my request will be granted. (Insert petition here) May I receive your blessings and favors. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. 

You are going to pray this every day until the candle burns down. While you are praying, you will want to believe that Saint Expedite is there helping you. 

Now, going back to the story of my client who needed that money, I did this work, which I had started before, and the result was that they were able to receive their money faster than they would have normally gotten the money. Saint Expedite assisted me on behalf of my client. So, I hope this example shows that working with spirits can be a beneficial endeavor. However, I am going to go into other saints who are great to work with in Hoodoo. 

Spiritual work I did for my client

Saint Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel is a powerful spirit. He is an Archangel, and he is the patron saint of police, military personnel, and soliders. People often ask for his intercession when it comes to matters of protection. Saint Michael is an Angel for everybody to ask for his help or intercession. His feast day is September 29th, and offerings you can give him are prayer, a candle dedicated to him, or a glass of water. Here is the canon Catholic prayer to ask for the intercession of Saint Michael: 

“Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the Heavenly Host - by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin and destruction of souls. Amen.” 

Saint Cyprian and Saint Justina  

Saint Cyprian is a saint who is not officially recognised by the Catholic church, but it is said that he was a very powerful sorcerer who saw a woman one day named Justina. Cyprian tried to use black magic to get Justina to be with him, but Justina, when she felt the influence of the black magic, she began to pray to God and ask for his intercession. Justina was able to overcome the influences of the black magic, and when that happened, Cyprian wanted to know how Justina overcame these influences, and she told him it was God, and Cyprian converted to Christianity. Cyprian is the patron saint of sorcerers and spiritual workers. You can ask him for his intercession if you have spiritual work you want to come into fruition, and be empowered. Their feast day is September 16, and offerings you can give them are incense, candles, and occult items. 

Saint Peter 

Saint Peter was one of the twelve apostles and was a leader of the Christian church. Saint Peter is seen as the patron saint of Road opening, unlocking the doors, and removing all blockage. Saint Peter is invoked when you need to overcome all evil and negativity. Also, you can call on Saint Peter if you need to do any road opening work; all you will need is a candle of his and some keys that represent opening roads. A good key that you can buy for a cheap price would be a skeleton key. Saint Peter’s feast day is June 29th, and offerings to him are prayers and donations made in his name. 

Saint Anthony 

Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost objects, the poor, travelers, and many other things. I ask for the intercession of Saint Anthony for myself or for clients with whom I work for. Saint Anthony is someone who is a powerful person to work with if you need to find something or if you are traveling. His feast day is June 13th, and offerings you can give to Saint Anthony are water, some bread, or acts of charity. 

Saint Joseph 

Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, is a powerful saint to work with. In Hoodoo conjure men/women work with Saint Joseph if they need to find employment, or if you are a worker who needs help. Saint Joseph is also good to work with if you need to sell a house. This spiritual work normally consists of buying a small Saint Joseph statue and burying it upside down in the front yard of your house. When you sell the house, you want to give a small financial offering to him in the form of a donation. Saint Joseph's feast day is March 19th, and offerings to him are bread, flowers, and candles/prayers. 

Saint Christopher 

Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travelers and safe travel by land, sea, or air. If you or a person close to you is travelling, you can ask for the intercession of Saint Christopher. I ask for Saint Christopher’s help whenever I need assurance when I am traveling. Saint Christopher's feast day is July 25th, and offerings to him include giving a mass to a deceased person in the Catholic Church and praying. 

Saint Martha the Dominator

Saint Martha the Dominator is the patron saint of domination, domestic workers, homemakers, cooks, and servants. However, Saint Martha can be called upon to help in the work of dominating a situation. There are stories where it is alleged that Saint Martha went to France and defeated a dragon. This was after the death of Jesus. She went to France and she was asked to slay a dragon, which she did by throwing holy water on it, and making the sign of the cross, which she was able to tie up the dragon with her girdle, and the townspeople were able to kill the dragon. You can call on Saint Martha whenever you need help with work in dominating a situation. Her feast day is July 29th, and offerings to her are statuettes, incense, oil, and perfumes. 

Saint Barbara 

Saint Barbara is the patron saint of soldiers, people who are in danger of thunderstorms, fire & explosions, and sudden death. In the spiritual practice of Santería, Saint Barbara is a representative of Chango. Saint Barbara was a martyr because of her desire to become a Christian in a time period of Greco-Roman faith. She did not renounce her faith, and it was her father who ended up killing her. Right after her father killed her, he was struck down by a bolt of lightning. Saint Barbara can be called upon for protection, love, or improving a person's health. Her feast day is December 4th, and offerings to her are bread or wheat, flowers, or devotional candles. 

Saint Benedict 

Saint Benedict is the patron saint of Europe, students, and a protector from black magic. Saint Benedict is a saint who can be called on to remove evil or witchcraft. Also, if you would like, Saint Benedict has very protective talismans, which you can purchase as a form of spiritual protection. Saint Benedict was canonized by Pope Honorius III. You can call for the intercession of Saint Benedict in spirit work for protection from witchcraft and sorcery. His feast day is July 11th, and offerings to him are to give a mass for specific intentions. 

Saint Rita 

Saint Rita is the patron saint of impossible causes, marriage difficulties, widows, and the sick. She is a saint that you can call on, especially if there's a situation that is impossible that needs to be resolved. She can also be used for protection from domestic abusers and unfaithful partners. Her feast day is May 22nd, and offerings to give her are roses, prayer candles, and monetary donations to shrines or churches.

Saint Jude 

Saint Jude is the patron saint of impossible cases and desperate situations, as well as Saint Rita. Saint Jude was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Saint Jude is a saint whom anyone can call on for intercession if they have a situation that seems impossible or a case that seems desperate. Many people who are spiritualists, or even if they are not, can work with Saint Jude, and many people have seen good results. His feast day is October 28th, and offerings to give him are prayers to him, financial donations, or altars dedicated to him with flowers and food. 

Anima Sola 

Anima Sola is not a saint, but she is a figure in the Catholic church, and you can call for her assistance for help in love, money, and protection. She is said to have been, for lack of a better term, a water bringer to people who were crucified, and during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, she gave two of the other prisoners water, but neglected to give water to Jesus, and because of that, she was made to suffer in purgatory for eternity. Anima Sola does not have a feast day, but offerings to her are fresh flowers, a glass of water, or cinnamon.

This is not an exhaustive list; there are many other saints with whom you can work with to create changes in your life you wish to see. I wanted to give you a starting point, but it is up to you to do the research, and also to pick a saint or saints whom you want to work with. I hope this helps, and I want to say thank you for reading.

How to know & How to Spiritually Cleanse a House (Storytime)

Hello to everyone who is reading this article. I am going to discuss the time when a house that I was living in was haunted. I am also going to talk about the proper procedure for cleansing a haunted house, and to understand if the task is too big, and when it would be time to consult a specialist. 

Background 

So, this was a story from when I was a child and I was living in California. When I was a kid, there was a man who was not too friendly to me or my family, and even our neighbors would ask us questions about seeing a car that was located near our house during the night, which wasn't ours. There would be weird things that happened, for example, there would be a sudden influx of ants that were in the house, seemingly all of the time. Also, it felt like there was another person in the house, external to my family, who was in the house. There were many more things that had happened, which were a cause for concern. So, with the article, I will talk to you about the signs of what happened and the external factors that played a role in determining how to know if someone is cursing or hexing you. 

To start, there was an occasion when our front door had blood on it. We do not know what type of blood was on the door, but we assumed it was chicken blood that was on the door, and that is a common ingredient for witchcraft and evil work against an enemy. This was found in the early morning, and what we had to do was clean the door of any evil that was sent to us. For this, we had to use Ammonia and Turpentine to remove any spiritual effects as well as clean blood, which is not sanitary. This was a trap that was laid because the perpetrator wanted my family and me to step into the blood to be affected by the witchcraft that they laid for us. This would have left the victim of this attack to receive a slew of bad luck and other negative spiritual effects. This was not the only thing that was done to my family and me; more things were done, which caused a lot of spiritual attacks and blockages. 

There was also a time when this enemy buried an evil charm in the backyard, and this was done to be a beacon for evil spirits to come into the house and invade the area. This spell was not meant to be detected, and for the evil to be continuous. However, this was not the case; it was my grandmother who found the item, which was in the backyard, and said that she had a dream of the event happening by the enemy. When she told us this, I was made to go pick up the trap and remove it, so my grandmother would be able to cleanse it and dispose of it. I went to the backyard to remove it, and the next day I got sick. I had a horrible stomach ache, which I was not able to determine where it came from, and I was sick all day. 

Methods of House Cleansing

White candles are great for cleansing

I have shared with you a few of the stories of my experiences with witchcraft and haunting. Now, I will share with you the best methods of cleansing that can be implemented to clear out evil and negative spirits in your house. First, if you feel like there is a spirit in your house, or if there are negative energies that are causing issues, I will teach you the best methods to use. So, if you detect a spirit in your house, what you can do is spray holy water in your house/apartment. What you are going to do is spray the holy water in all of the corners of your house, and you will make the sign of the cross to ensure that the evil entity leaves. If this does not work, I would make sure that you have enough spiritual knowledge to remove a spirit from your house. Next, if it is a stronger spirit then what you can do is to get a coconut, and rub cascarilla all over the coconut, then you are going to want to place the coconut on the ground and lightly kick the coconut around and do this so you are going all over the floor for each level of your house if you have multi-level house, and you are going to start from the top going all the way down. After you're done passing the coconut all over the floor, you will then take the coconut and take it far away from your house. You are going to want to go somewhere you normally don’t frequent. You will get to the location, then you will smash the coconut. From that point, you are going to walk away without looking back at the coconut. This will remove all of the evil that has been in your house. Finally, there are two more things you can do to cleanse your space. 

One, you can use a floor wash to cleanse your space. There are many different floor washes. For example, there are floor washes for money, luck, love, and also to remove evil from the home. So, I would get a floor wash to remove evil, and if you need to, you can get something with pine in it, because pine is good for cleansing. The next and last thing you can do is smudge your house. If you want to, you can use white sage, which people have misconceptions about. Normally, people think white sage removes negative energies, but really, white sage neutralizes all energies, good and bad, so it's important to keep that in mind. Palo Santo is holy wood, and what Palo Santo does is remove all negativity and bring in positivity. So, these are some of the options you have for cleansing your place; this list is not exhaustive. If you feel like you cannot cleanse the house yourself and do not have the spiritual capability, then I would consult an expert spiritualist or a priest to cleanse or even exorcise your house. Thank you so much for reading this article!
