The Secret to a Life of Abundance: Using Magick and the Law of Attraction to Create Wealth


It seems that one of the most pressing concerns to many people is how to make ends meet. Every week I get emails from folks wanting to know money spells and the secret to gaining prosperity and wealth. The truth is, we all have a lot more power to change our situation than we realize. However, we tend to get conditioned to a particular state of being; we get used to struggling, we get used to things going wrong, and we settle for a life that is less than we want or deserve.


I want to share with you a secret to a life of abundance. Many of you have no doubt heard of what I am about to share, but still find yourselves in the same predicament that you were in before learning about the secret. Why is this? Why have you become so complacent?


The secret is based on the law of attraction (I always get a kick out of the fact that the acronym is LOA = Voodoo Spirits). The law of attraction is based on a natural law that like attracts like. This includes how you think about things. Indeed, thoughts do become things. This is true according to the Law of Attraction, according to basic magick principles, as well as psychology.






This is what doing magic is about. Magic provides a means of focusing energy to make what we desire manifest. If you want to be a stronger, more powerful practitioner, you will embrace the LOA, because anyone, anywhere, can learn to make financial abundance a reality in their life.

What are you thinking about right now? The Law of Attraction states that "whatever we think about, we bring about". This law may initially seem like new age fluff but believe it or not, there are scientific merits to this proposition. The top quantum physicists of our time have discovered that our universe and our reality is very much directed by the "observer".

When studying quantum particles (the smallest observable unit of matter), these scientists discovered that such particles behave in accordance with the person conducting the experiment. If the scientists predict that quantum particles behave in a certain way, they do. And yet, if the scientists predict that quantum particles behave in another way, they do. It is the "observer" that dictates the outcome of the experiment!

What does all this mean for us magical practitioners? Well actually, these scientific experiments have far reaching implications for us as our world is made up of these same quantum particles! In this case, we are the observer, the director and the creator of our reality, our world and our experience. We literally conjure our own worlds with the thoughts that we think.

So, be careful of what you think about! For example, have your thoughts ever begun with the following phrases?


  • I don’t understand…
  • I don't want...
  • I’m frustrated that…
  • I hate my…
  • I can’t figure out …
  • I’m stressed about…
  • I’m worried that…
  • I should be able to… but I can’t…
  • Why am I having so much trouble?

The Law of Attraction states that whatever you think about you will attract into your life. When you think "I don't understand why bad things always happen to me," you are "attracting" bad things into your life. When you think "I want to get out of debt," you are attracting more debt into your life. When you think "I'm worried I will get sick," you are attracting sickness into your life! The Law of Attraction brings about what you focus on even if it is not what you want. Get it?

If you understand this principle, here are some examples of how to make the law of attraction work to support you rather than to act against you. Try observing your thoughts and changing your thinking in the following way:


  • "I want to get out of debt" to "I want to earn amazing riches."
  • "I hate my boss" to "I look forward to owning my own business."
  • "I don't understand why he is so lazy" to "I love it when he helps out around the house."
  • "I'm stressed about this project" to "I always create amazing results in my projects."
  • "I'm worried about getting sick" to "I experience vibrant health daily."


Now that we have a better understanding of the Law of Attraction, it is not hard to see why so many people struggle with regards to money. It has been said that "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer." This is actually the Law of Attraction in action. Because the wealthy have money, they often think about how to best use their money and hence, they attract more money. The poor, on the other hand, often think about their present lack of money and unfortunately, that also attracts lack into their lives. Currently, 96% of the world's wealth is being earned by just 1% of the population! That's just insane when you think about it.

This is why using charms, mojo, gris gris and doing prosperity work is so important for magickal practitioners. It helps us keep our minds focused on drawing abundance and prosperity, as opposed to focusing on our lack of abundance. If we don't have the right mindset, we won't attract what we need. Instead we just stay stuck where we are, or dig ourselves deeper into a hole of desperation and hopelessness. There are terms we use in psychology  for this unproductive mindset:  learned helplessness and self-defeating behavior.


Learned helplessness is when we become conditioned to responding to situations in a certain way or not at all based on our experiences with failure. We either expect someone else to come in and change things for us or just give up on trying to help ourselves. Every effort we make at changing our circumstance has no positive effect; thus, we have learned to be helpless. We have lost our power. Then, what happens is we continue to engage in the same behaviors, often expecting different results, even though there is no rational reason to believe something different will happen. These behaviors are self-defeating because they do nothing but keep us stuck or make our situation worse.

Magick, therefore, can be liberating and empowering. A change in thinking, coupled with the Law of Attraction leaves us unstoppable. We can open the doors to new possibilities and new opportunities we never knew were available to us before.

If course I have many products on my website Creole Moon that can help you focus your intentions to that of success and prosperity. For example, Algiers Fast Luck oil is a powerful Fast Luck formula oil straight from the Algiers New Orleans Voodoo hoodoo tradition. It is used to attract money, better business, good luck, love, and the better things of life, and to remove negativity and clear away obstacles. Use as a dressing oil for fixing candles for spells, add to the bath, add to floor washes, use as a lucky hand rub before gambling, or wear as a magical perfume. You can find Algiers Fast Luck Oil here.

Another option is a Crown of Success Gris Gris. Gris Gris bags are excellent for keeping your mindset focused in a certain way because they only work if you work them And, to work them you must use them, hold them, feel them, and visualize your goals with them.  Check them out (and many others) here.



May success and prosperity be yours!

St. Helena, Patron Saint of the Cross and Divorcees




St. Helena is known by Catholics as the Patron Saint of the Cross and Intercessor for converts, divorce, difficult marriages, archeologists, fire, thunder, needle makers and empresses.

Born to pagan parents, she knew nothing of Christianity for the first 60 years of her life. Helena had one son, Constantine the Great, who ruled the Roman Empire until 337 AD. During Constantine’s reign, with the aid of his mother, Christianity flourished. In addition to many other Christian works, Helena is credited with finding the Cross, which hung the Savior of the world.

Saint Helen met her husband Constantius in Asia Minor while he was there working. There marriage was small and for quite some time unknown, but eventually news spread of their wedding.

Around the year 270, Helen had her only child, Constantine. However shortly after having the baby, Constantius left Helen for another woman. He left her with Constantine, and they never heard from him again.

Constantine did not care that his father had left because he and Helen had such a great bond and love for each other. Helen raised Constantine alone, she never got married again. She lost contact with many people after being left by Constantius.

Saint Helen and Constantine were never separated during their lives. When Constantine was named emperor of Rome around 306, she traveled with him and continued to live with him as well. She spent her hours praying to God, and becoming extremely religious. She advised Constantine and loved him very much. She had Constantine let prisoners go often and would attend Mass daily with the normal citizens of Rome, which was unheard of since she was royalty.

In the year 330, Saint Helen passed away due to natural causes. This devastated Constantine, who remained by her side during her final hours. Her feast day is celebrated on August 18th each year.

If you are in a difficult relationship or going through a divorce, St. Helena can be an enormous source of emotional and spiritual support. Check out our St. Helena Gris Gris  Bags.

Lucky Buddha Bottle with Lucky Louisiana Green Rice




Lucky Buddha is an actual deity in Chinese and Japanese folklore. In Chinese, he is referred to as Budai or "Laughing Buddha" and in Japanese he is called "Hotei." His name means "Cloth Sack" which refers to the sack of belongings he usually carries. He is typically depicted as poor but content and always happy and smiling. This Lucky Buddha is holding up a bowl filled with gold.

According to Chinese lore, Budai was an eccentric monk known for his good will and character. He is admired for his happiness, plentitude, wisdom and contentment. As these are characters humans strive for, his presence in the form of a picture, figure, charm, amulet or bottle keeps these qualities close, ever reminding us that attitude and perception are often the only things standing in the way of our ultimate success. It is popularly believed that rubbing his stomach will bring wealth, luck and prosperity.



In Japanese lore, Hotei exists as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichi Fukujin) of Taoism. 

I love being a spiritual artist because it makes me happy among other things. This is one of my hand painted with 18 carat gold paint Lucky Buddha Bottles filled with hand crafted Louisiana Lucky Green rice with shredded money. The cork is peyote stitched with a lucky Chinese coin and tiny Swarovski crystal. Open them up and they smell like Algiers Fast Luck formula (which is a blend of wintergreen, cinnamon, vanilla and patchouli - yes it is a unique but very pleasant fragrance). I love these bottles and have so much fun making them...it was Mitchell Tibbs who introduced me to the Lucky Buddha beer and since I don't drink I was happy to discover it is very cheap beer, lol so I can go buy a case at a time and paint away. I've painted them in red and lavender, but I am partial to lavender. Keep one on your prosperity altar, with your money, or anywhere you want to be reminded that wealth and abundance can be yours!

To Punish a Book Thief




I'm not sure which situation is the best indicator of having "arrived" in the world of books, but I do know which one I don't appreciate, and that is the pirate.

My books have been pirated so many times, that I once calcuated on one site alone that if I had one dollar for each download of the Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook I would be a millionaire, and that was 5 years ago. Oh how different life could be without the pirate; but alas, they don't care about authors and starving artists.

There are two kinds of pirates. One is the small-minded book thief who feels that if it is on the internet, it should be free. Period. Never mind the months or years it may have taken for the author to write the book, WITHOUT PAY. And, contrary to what some of these folks believe, even after publishing we don't see a payday until any advances are paid back and then hope we sell enough books to get somewhat of a paycheck.

Then, there is the calculated, evil book thief who sets themselves up for a payday on our hard work. They upload the books to torrent sites or other pay-to-download sites where an individual can purchase the download, illegally, for much less than if purchased legitimately. And where does the money go? To the torrent site and the scum bag who uploaded it there.

One might wonder the thought process of pirates who steal the work of witches, warlocks and hoodoos. Clearly they do not believe and stealing our work is not only stealing from our livelihood, it is a mockery of our work and for many of us, a mockery of our belief systems. Ok, that's cool, you don't have to believe. Just call me Honey Badger, because I really don't care if you believe or not.




But I do care that pirates are getting paid from my hard work. And in the world of hoodoo, payback is a bitch.

So, I decided to have a little fun at the expense of the first pirate I discovered completely accidentally, when going to upload a promotional video for the book on You Tube. I mean, the book hadn't even been out 2 weeks and this guys got a promo video for it with a download link.



Xiaolu Guo, it's time to play, New Orleans style!

You have so thoughtfully left me a tail of taglocks to use, so thank you for that, I truly appreciate it. For those of you who may not know, a taglock is a term used in image magick for a personal effect that links to the person to whom it belongs. Taglocks can be physical things like hair or fingernails, signatures or photographs, or simply names. In your case Xiaolu, I have your name (whether or not it is your real name doesn't matter - you have "signed" your name digitally to your YouTube account and in the world of magick, that counts), you have linked to your blog where you are offering countless authors' books for illegal download, so I can use your website header image as another taglock, AND you have provided a link to that wretched torrent site who is also on my Voudou hit list. Download Genius has been enabling pirates for years and its time they get in the hoodoo payback game too.

It's the Voodoo Doll Spellbook in action y'all! Are we having fun yet?

Stay tuned as I take a break to go create my pirate voodoo doll using image magick concepts to link Xiaolu Guo's soul to a conjure doll...I'll be back with photos and the details and my plan for revenge on behalf of all book authors who are victims of pirates across the globe.

Laissez les bone temps rouler!

Bottle Spell to Get Rid of a Troubling Neighbor or Ex-Lover


To Get Rid of a Troubling Neighbor or Ex-Lover




 
 

If you have broken up with your ex but they just won’t let you go, if they keep calling you even when to tell them to stop, if they harass you or are stalking you, then try this doll spell to get rid of them. This spells can be adapted to get rid of anyone who is meddlin' in your affairs that you want to go away. For this spell you will need:


  • A wide mouth jar
  • A black doll baby that can fit inside the jar.
  • Personal effect of your ex
  • Brown paper bag
  • Dragon’s blood ink
  • Black pin
  • Photo
  • Red pepper
  • Lost and Away Powder

Attach a personal effect from your ex to the doll with a black pin. Write down their name and date of birth on a piece of brown paper bag with Dragon’s Blood ink and attach it to the doll as well. If you have a photo of this person, attach it to the doll. Stick the doll into the jar and add some black Witch’s salt, red pepper, graveyard dirt, and add some Lost and Away powder. Seal the jar shut and throw into a running river. If it is carried away from you, you can expect the person to leave you alone within 9 days. If it sinks to the bottom or is carried towards you, then you must repeat the spell, this time burning a black candle on top of the jar for 9 days. You should inscribe the person’s name on the candle and roll the candle with Lost and Away powder before burning. After burning the candle for nine days, take it to the river again and throw it in. If you still do not have any luck getting rid of the person and the person is stalking or otherwise harassing you, take out a restraining order and repeat the spell during a waning moon.

Formula for Lost and Away Powder

  • Dirt from a Graveyard
  • Mistletoe
  • Powdered sulfur
  • Powdered Orris
  • Sage
