Arabka Soudagar - the Mysterious Magic Potion for Love, Money, and Success

The earliest mention of Arabka Soudagar oil that I can find through Google Books is in 2003's Candle Therapy: The Magical Guide to Life Enhancement. The first I ever heard of it was in Judika Illes's book of 5,000 Spells. However, as an incense it is listed (as Arab-Ka Soudagor) in the 1974 book Famous Voodoo Rituals and Spells.

The name is probably from the Hindi phrase, Arab Ka Saudagar, which according to an online translator means "Dealers of Arabia." It appears to be a case like Has No Hanna, where a foreign word used for a perfume name was corrupted. I'm being led to think it originated as an incense, for Mysore Sugandhi sells a rose scented blend under the brand name Arab Ka Soudagar. This brand of incense dates back at least to the 1960s if not before. The package artwork features Arabian merchants leading camels packed with goods, and is written in a font that can easily let the words Arab Ka be misread as Arabka. 

Alternate spellings for the formula are Arab-Ka Soudagar, Arab-Ka Soudagor and sometimes (especially in magickal texts) simply Arabka. The oil seems to be a kind of Success/Reverse Bad Luck blend, rather like traditional Van Van in use.

Draja Mickaharic claims the formula is mere myrrh, and a popular recipe for the mixture circulating on the internet says it's made from frankincense and tonka bean. However, if the origin is indeed from the Mysore Sugandhi incense, rose would have to be the primary scent.

I've posted before about a little known conjure formula called Arabka Soudagar, which is used by magical practitioners to bring success, good luck, and overcome obstacles. Here's a spell where you can put it to use for yourself:

You need --

A triple action candle (red, white and green) 
Arabka Soudagar oil
Shifting Sands oil
Road Opener oil
angelica root powder

Gloria incense

Dress the candle with the three oils and with the herb. Write out your petition for success/change on a small piece of paper, in ink, and place it underneath the candle. (Of course always burn candles in a safe place with supervision.) 

Light the incense, and then light the candle, stating again your wish. You can let the candle burn down in one go if your need is urgent, or for stronger results you can burn the candle in increments of 15 minutes a day for as long as the candle lasts. If you burn the candle in sections, burn more incense each time as well.

Perfume, Cologne, and Its Use In Hoodoo

The original recipe for cologne was reputedly given to St. Elizabeth of Hungary by an angel -- the concoction was known as "Hungary Water" and was used primarily as a medicine, rather than just a mere fragrance. Charles Godfrey Leland remarked that it therefore was appropriate hoodoo practitioners would use such a substance for feeding their conjure bags and other talismans. The term cologne actually comes from a later preparation, Cologne Water (named for the German city.) The original Cologne Water is a spirit-citrus perfume launched in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), an Italian perfume maker from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo, Italy. In 1708, Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Cologne Water, in honour of his new hometown. The Original Cologne Water composed by Farina was used on...

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...

13 Herb Bath for Curse Removal

13 Herb Bath for curse removal can be made from from any 13 uncrossing and purification herbs. For example, if I needed to fix a batch of 13 herb bath right now based on what I've got in the house, I could mix bay leaves, rue, mint, rosemary, wood betony, sage, verbena, angelica root, white rose petals, lemongrass, lemon peel, agrimony and arnica, and it would suffice well. Other herbs like hyssop, pine needles, juniper leaves, boldo, eucalyptus leaves, mullein, basil, lavender, or marshmallow leaves would be good to use too. By no means complete, here is a list of just a few herbs said to remove a curse or jinx that you can use to make your own 13 Herbs bath: Agrimony Alkanet Angelica Arnica Basil Bay leaves Black Pepper Blessed Thistle Boldo Cayenne Pepper Chives Eucalyptus Garlic Hyssop John the Conqueror Juniper Lavender Lemon Lemongrass Lime Marshmallow leaves Mint Mullein Onion Pine Rosemary Rue Sage Sandalwood Verbena White Rose Petals ...

Mother Bombie's Witch's Bottle for Curse Removal and Spell Reversing

The witch bottle is a very old spell device. Its purpose is to draw in and trap harmful intentions directed at its owner. Folk magic contends that the witch bottle protects against evil spirits and magical attack, and counteracts spells cast by witches. Mother Bombie's Book of Witchcraft contains the following recipe for constructing a witch's bottle: To Make the Witch’s Bottle Which shall cure of all sorceries done against ye You must have a bottle which sealeth with a cork or wooden plug, in which you shall place the following: A quart of your own water shall be taken and boiled with a paring from each toenail, and with some of your hair, for fire will burn away all evils, and as the water reduces so shall your trouble. Put thereto sulfur, XII nails made from iron, and VIII pins of brass. Add also a heart that has been shaped and cut from from leather or cloth, which you shall pierce with one more nail or pin, for that is the heart of the evil doer who m...

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...
