San Antonio

The summer is almost over - YAY!!!

Well, only because I don't like the summer heat, but we had a fun trip to San Antonio Texas where I got to see, in person the beautifully powerful statue of Sekhmet and eat all the wonderful Tex-Mex food around!

Randomness.

 It's so annoying trying to blog on here which is why I over look it so. In my Explorer window, I can only upload pictures, then I have to open up Chrome which will not allow me to upload pictures but will allow me to post the pictures I already uploaded from Explorer. Ever since Blogger changed it's format months ago, this is what I have to deal with. BUT I will try to be more active in here for I love blogging <3

Also join my Instagram and my Etsy shop House of Madame Josephine!!!

Found this lovely Web on my back gate 

This Pretty Orange Lily surprised me in my garden.

Double Action Reversing Spell

Today I am going to show you how to prepare a Double Action Reversing Candle. These candles come in different colors depending on your condition. Here I am using the black/white double action reversing candle which is good to use in reversing bad luck and bringing in good blessings and well being. As you can see, the candle itself reflects a reversed notion and with that, you WILL reverse it to cause a reversing effect on your intent. Below each photo I will explain what I did in the Hoodoo tradition:

Start with a double action candle of choice and cleanse it with Florida Water or salt.

To begin with reversing, you are going to reverse how the candle is burned - you will start by butting the light by cutting of the tip.

Next you will REVERSE the candle and create a new tip on the reversed end.

Our new tip is now created! Remember in every step you do, focus on the energies in your hands to charge each step with your intend!

Now your candle is now ready to dress in the oil chosen for your work.

Now let it burn! The idea is to burn off the bad condition with the black and as it reaches the while, blessing will begin to take over and manifest. Traditionally, the candle is burned on a mirror to reflect even more of a reversal with your enemy carved in the black section backwards and your name carved in the white section if you are reversing harm sent to you by another along with the appropriate oils and such. You may also use these to reverse bad habits or anything that you would like to change.

Maryam's Cafe

Out for a day, stopped by Maryam's Cafe in the Heights for some cozy sweetness - first time here since the closing of the previous Cricket's & Creamery Cafe. Love the interior and fancy seating. Not sure about the food but the desserts were good and they have healthy choices with smoothies and juicing along with pastries and home made ice cream.
