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.

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or any other number of metaphors. I had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it with Bend Over powder. He paid me what I ...

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 ...

Spiritual Use of Turpentine in Hoodoo and Witchcraft

I have posted in the past about the use of giving one's bedding a spiritual cleansing from time to time. I recently was laundering my pillows in the same load of laundry as some turpentine-soaked rags, with the result that the pillows emerged from the wash reeking of turpentine. From a magical perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Turpentine is used in old-time hoodoo rituals for purposes such as uncrossing, protection and sometimes as a feed for mojo bags. Its solvent powers and strong odor do indeed suggest a powerful spiritual cleansing agent, and it is still used in some modern day cleaning products on a purely practical level for these same reasons. Old time medicines sometimes included turpentine as a thing to drink, in small doses. A book from the 1850s, The Domestic Medicine Chest , recommends giving it to children in a dose of one teaspoon for killing tapeworm. Relatedly, in old time hoodoo cures for "live things" turpentine might be made into a tea...

Blockbuster, Van Van, Uncrossing, Road Opener -- What's the Difference? What to Use Against Jinxes?

Many hoodoo formulas are related to one another, sometimes very closely. Some formulas, Lovers formula versus Love formula, are just manufacturer specific names for what is essentially the same product (or at least a product meant to get the same result.) Sometimes people wonder, what's the difference between Uncrossing and Van Van ? What's the difference between Road Opener and Blockbuster ? First things first: Road Opener, aka Abre Camino, is not a traditional hoodoo formula, it's a Latin American loaner that has come in relatively recently along with a lot of Santeria and Brujeria practices. This is why it seems to cover the same ground that several other old hoodoo mixtures do. Blockbuster might also be in this same boat, though my evidence on this is less sure -- nonetheless it does seem to be a newer formula, in relative terms ( the word "blockbuster" is only datable to around 1940 ) and often sold with an alternate Spanish name "Arrasa con T...
