Blockbuster Spell

Recently tried this one to some good effect. As I did it, I petitioned Ganesha, but any of those crossroads deities (Mercury, Ellegua, Odin) will be able to help you here.

You need:

Blockbuster Oil
Blockbuster Incense (loose or resin works best for this)
Van Van Powder or Oil
Gunpowder
2 White, Black or Orange Candles
Fabric and Thread to wrap spell remains
Offering for Ganesha (candy is a favorite)

Do this spell on a Sunday or a Wednesday, or in a Sun or Mercury hour.

Begin with your candles. White can be used for anything and is always a good choice. Black candles can be used to blot out problems and to bring destruction of all types, and so are a popular choice in Blockbuster work. Orange is used for opening the way and is another possibility if you are feeling blocked. Whatever colors you choose, take one candle and carve your name (or the name of the person the spell is for) onto it. Then carve on the other candle what it is you want to unblock -- this could be "full time job" or "date with Terri" or whatever it is you feel keeps being blocked from you.

When your candles are carved, dress them both with the oil and gunpowder, and set them up at your altar or wherever you're going to burn them. (If you don't have an altar for Ganesh or any crossroads god, a simple solution for the brave is to actually perform this at a crossroads. If that's not feasible or you'd be too uncomfortable, you can easily print up a picture to represent the god and lay the offerings and goods before it.)

Next step is to set up your incense -- depending what form you've gotten (loose powder or noncombustible resin) the method for setup will vary. Loose powder needs to be formed into a shape while resin needs to be set on a burning charcoal or other heat source. In any case, get this ready.

Finally give your offering to the deity and you're ready to begin putting energy into this. Light the incense and light the candles, and name your requests. Let the incense burn for a time -- about halfway out -- then sprinkle onto it a bit of Van Van powder or oil. The reason for this is that Blockbuster only breaks down blockages but does not perform its own cleanup. The Van Van is needed to actually clear the remains of the problem out once the Blockbuster has started its job.

Everyone's approach to what you "should be thinking" during a spellcast varies a bit, but overall it's agreed that being negative or worrying is not beneficial. Think positive thoughts of some form -- many people advise imagining the feeling of already having what you desire, or visualizing your desires coming to fruition. Others say to just make your requests sincerely. Whatever you do, do it as you burn the candles and incense. You can stay at the altar the whole time or you can leave it to burn itself out if it is safe leave it unattended.

Once the candles and incense have burned themselves out, collect the remaining wax and ashes if any, and wrap them in a piece of fabric or paper for disposal. If you set up a temporary altar that you don't expect to use again, you can also wrap up the offering and the picture with the spell remains. Tie this up in thread with three knots, speak the "God's before me, God's with me, God's behind me" if you do so and then dispose of the packet in the crossroads.

I saw movement on the matter the very next day after performing this spell on a problem I was having.

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon. This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...

Job Spells in the Internet Age - Hoodoo Voodoo Success and Steady Work Magic

We exist in an unprecedented era. There is now internet , a creation which allows text and images to be instantly transferred from person to person. People can have jobs and never ever see their employer or go to an office -- they might not even live in the same state or the same country as the person they work for! This has an impact on traditional magic spells. Most of your classic old time hoodoo "get a job" or "get business" spells assume you will be interacting directly with the boss or with customers. Some traditional operations of this type include: To have a successful job interview, wash your face with sugar before going to interview. To get a job, sprinkle some salt on the person interviewing you and on the floor of the business. To get customers, wash the floor of the shop with a mixture of your urine, sugar and bluing. For a successful job application, dress your resume with powder such as Steady Work or Van Van . For business success, sprinkle magneti...

Best Days of the Month for Magical Workings - Old Time Grimoire Magic for Successful Witchcraft

There is always a fascination among witchcraft practitioners with the art of timing -- the belief that performing a spell at a particular hour or day will give the spell an edge, such as the Planetary Hours and their derivative the Voodoo Hours used to decide when a magical working will be performed. Naturally, there are also beliefs about the best days to perform spells. This listing comes from a Renaissance era grimoire, but which contains spells that date back to Greco-Roman era. (The book is for sale with the translation The Book of Oberon, though you can read the direct transcription for free via Esoteric Archives. ) This is using standard calendar dates, so 1 is the 1st of the month, 31 is the 31st of the month, etc. Good to begin all manner of things For hate and enchantment against enemies "Right naught" -- don't plan for magical work on this day To enchant and conjure wicked spirits For invisibility, and enchant against enemies For works that regard theft an...

Out With the Old, In With the Enchanting New! Discover the Spellbinding Changes That Will Ignite Your Inner Witch

Those who have been following us here at the Spellcaster's Source blog for a long time might find some of their favorite old posts about general magic , free spells , witchcraft articles and so forth have disappeared from the web. For a few years I've been trying to tidy up the blog, which has been online since 2009. It's been through different iterations of my main website, from Talia's Tarot to Lucky Temple to Hoodoo Online . As requirements to make the witchcraft blog "mobile friendly" also had the unfortunate effect of making it more difficult to search through the posts, there was good reason to simplify the content. It had built up over 600 separate posts at its peak, with no good way to search through them except by keyword. Originally I intended to delete nothing, but only to merge posts about similar subjects so they'd become easier to find. However, as I've been going through everything, I've been finding more and more old posts that w...

Sugar and Sweetener - Vital Ingredients for Traditional Hoodoo and Witchcraft Magic

Sugar spells are everywhere these days. People know you can “sweeten someone up,” and if you poke around online for five minutes, you’ll find love spells that ask you to write a name on a paper and put it in a jar with sugar, honey, syrup, or a piece of candy. It’s not just popular — it’s practically its own genre. But the real history of sugar in hoodoo is a little deeper, and as always, a little weirder. Traditionally, sugar was used to sweeten someone toward you — whether for love, kindness, better treatment, or even to grease a boss’s attitude at work. You’ll find older spells that use sugar to make a judge lenient or to keep someone from being angry. What’s rarely mentioned outside the tradition is that the type of sugar used could be significant. Yes, really. In older hoodoo practice, sweeteners were sometimes matched to the race or skin tone of the person being targeted. Molasses - thick and dark, was typically used if the person was Black. White sugar - for a white person. Hon...
