Blockbuster Spell

Spirits and occult breaking of blocks


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 "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have 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...

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...

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...

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...
