The difference between Road Opening and Blockbusting

Hello, in this article, I will be talking about the differences between a road opening and a blockbusting work. With these two workings, many people believe they are the same thing, but this could not be further from the truth. The specific names are important because you need to know what you are doing and what type of work it will be. It's important to know that doing a specific work will bring about different effect on your life. 

So, what I am going to do is highlight the difference between the two works. I will start off with Road Opening. So, road opening work is a spiritual spell that is used to open the roads to potential opportunities, jobs, money, or love. Really, it’s any manner of opportunity or goals you are trying to achieve that are available to you. On the other hand, a Blockbusting work is normally used for removing obstacles, but in a forceful way. Blockbusting is used to remove all obstacles that are in your way; think of it as an extreme removal.

Now, I am going to describe two instances in which I have done both of these works, and by the end, I hope you will fully understand the difference between these two works. First, this was a few years ago, and I had a client who was recently having a rough go of life. So, to start off with the person I was working for, I did a spiritual reading for him. I believe that it is very important to do a spiritual reading when you are working for another person. I was doing this reading for my client, and through the reading, I did see the stagnation and blockage within the client's life. The blockage wasn’t evil or hoodoo thrown on them, but it was because of a buildup of negative energies surrounding him. Because I found the cause of the issue with my client, the best course of action for this individual was to do two things, the first is a spiritual cleansing bath to remove all of that negativity and the second thing was to do a road opening, to ensure their paths could be clear, and also they would be able to have success in any situation. The ritual I used a road opening candle and added road opening oil to the candle. Then I prayed Psalm 119:105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" and Psalm 23:3 "He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake." This was an example of a road opening, and after the work was complete, my client felt a lot better, and they saw opportunities come their way to get ahead. Now, we are going to look at an example of blockbusting work and how that differs from road openings. 

This happened a few years ago. I got a request from a distressed client that they needed some help because everything they have been going through was bad, and no matter how much they have tried to improve their station in life, or their situation, nothing would work. So, I began my process that I always do, which is doing a spiritual reading for my client, so we would be able to see what is going on in their life. In the reading, I saw that there was more than a buildup of negative energies; what I saw was active blockages in his life. This was more than the normal spiritual buildup for the average person, who also, I might add, does not do any spiritual work. So I had to prescribe him something different. What I did was have my client take a powerful spiritual cleansing bath and a house cleansing. Also, I did a blockbusting work to make sure that he would be able to eliminate any issues that may arise in his life. Specifically, with the blockbusting work, what I had to do was a more powerful type of work to remove negativity from his life, and I used a blockbusting candle and special herbs to make that happen. I used a candle and added specific herbs, roots, and oils to the candle to see the desired result. Then I said a series of prayers and declarations and added words of power to the ritual. This ritual is a little more intense than the road opening, so I cannot go into detail about the specifics. It is important to know that blockbusting is far more aggressive in removing obstacles from your life. You can think of it as a far more aggressive form of road opening. 

So, in these instances you see the difference between road openings and blockbusting. It is paramount to be able to differentiate between the two if you are starting this journey.

How To Create A Spiritual Altar

Hello, in this article, I will describe how you can make your own spiritual altar. Spiritual altars are very important because, with them, this is an area where you will be doing your spiritual work, calling on your spirits/ancestors, and to have a place for you to make the magic happen. 

So you know what the basics are with a spiritual altar, but here are some tips on how to get started with preparing the altar, so you can start working. First, I need to differentiate between two different things. There are many different types of altars, ancestral altars, spiritual altars, personal altars, money altars, love altars, etc, so there are many different types of altars. In this article, I will specifically be talking about spiritual altars. This is whether you practice Hoodoo, Wicca, or any other type of spiritual practice, you will be able to connect with your spirits, ancestors, or deities whom you work with, and this will be an area where you will be able to reach out to them and increase the focus and power of your work. 

First, what you want is an altar; this can be a TV dinner stand, or it could be something as elaborate as a dresser stand. You get your stand, and then what you do is get a white tablecloth, which will cover up the stand. The white cloth is important because white is a good color to bring in positive energies, and it represents purity. The next thing you want to do is cleanse the altar that you will be using. You can cleanse your altar with Florida water, holy water, rainwater, or even incense. It is important to cleanse the altar because this is a sacred space and a place of elevated energy, so you always want to remember to cleanse the area. The next step is to add a glass of water, and you may ask why water? Water is the universal conduit, and water is the element used to give passage to spirits and ancestors being around. So, it is important to always have a fresh glass of water, and you want to change out the water every week for your spirits who will be there with you at the altar. 

The next step is to add the items/ images of the deities you will be working with. If you are working with a statue of Jesus, place it there; if you are using a statue of Santa Muerte, place it there, or a picture if you cannot afford a statue. Also, if you want to add pictures of your ancestor, then place their pictures there. The reason for putting these pictures there is that you want to make this a space for yourself as well for the spirits you are working with. This is also a place for them to come to. If you are working for yourself or a client, this will be a place for your spirits to always know that this is a place for them, too. The next step is to start working, whether you want to go to your altar to pray, meditate, or do your spiritual work, this is a perfect place for you to do these things. This altar, which you will have created, will be basic. If you would like to reach out, there are more in-depth things you will be able to do. However, now I believe this is sufficient for the beginner to start their journey. Thank you so much for reading!
