Rumors and Myths about the Intranquility or Intranquil Spirit Love Spell

(EDIT, 4/23/16: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my new book The Intranquil Spirit, available on Amazon. This post is mostly correct, but has some incomplete information.)

I've done many an Intranquility Spell in my lifetime -- being that I'm a professional magic spell caster that is, of course, logical. However, there seem to be many misunderstandings about this important type of magic spell, which are circulating the internet and invading the minds of people who might (or might not) benefit from its use.


#1. The Intranquility Spell is evil.
The Intranquility Spell is no more evil than trying to get the same results by way of any other spell. Now, one might argue that the intent is evil, or at least selfish -- but I have had people who requested the exact effects which an Intranquility is meant to bring (desperation, obsession, pining away) yet who refused to do an Intranquility spell specifically on the belief that it's the spell and not the intention that is evil. That's rather like saying a knife is evil because you can murder someone with it, but that a gun is okay to use to murder someone because it's not a knife. The intention, not the spell, is what dictates the goodness or badness of a working. 


#2. The spell backfires so that the Intranquil Spirit haunts you instead.
I used to buy into this idea, but over time, I have come to conclude that the people who make this complaint are people who were either plenty obsessed and distraught to begin with, or else who were already inclining down that path before they cast the spell. (Indeed, it's an unhappy, obsessed person who usually wants to make their would-be lover equally unhappy and obsessed.) It does make one think that Intranquil Spirit spells ought to have a warning to only be used by people in healthy mental states, lest it makes trouble for a person imagining themselves cursed or haunted by it when their problem actually is rooted elsewhere.


#3. The Intranquility Spell must be done with a specially crafted, glass-encased, pink wax Intranquility Candle.
The Intranquility spell can be cast using any kind of candle. Even the standard "Intranquility Candle" is not actually an Intranquil Spirit candle -- it's a design called The Omnipresence of God. It is a basic Catholic religious candle whose design is being completely repurposed (possibly because of the eyes, ears and hands in the design relating to the prayer's request to command the spirit to overtake the victim's five senses, as well as the skull image near the bottom relating to the dead.) Some people also use Anima Sola candles in lieu of Intranquil Spirit/Omnipresence lights. In short, the Intanquil Spirit has no official imagery and all candles for her are repurposings of other things.
I have trouble finding the pink Intranquility candles in my area, and so I often cast the spells using plain red glass-encased candles, or sometimes pink free-standing candles. I've also used plain white emergency candles for it, in urgent cases. All the spell really is, is a prayer to a spirit for help. I would personally say that it's only important to use a branded Intranquil Spirit candle if you don't intend to use any dressing oils -- but once you've dressed a floral votive candle with Intranquility oil and said the prayer over it, the votive is just as good as the big glass thing.


#4. The Intranquility Spell involves using a cross.
There's a popular version of the spell, which you find on the internet, which uses a cross held in the hand or set on a table before the candle; but this item isn't customary in the traditional versions of the Intranquility spell. It's not to say you can't perform the spell this way, but I'm always getting questions about the cross in the spell as if it's a given, and it's just not a necessary element to the work. Most traditional versions just use the prayer and either a candle or a lamp.

THE INTRANQUIL SPIRIT SPELLBOOOK

Are you a practitioner looking for historical information? A lover whose romantic life is turning sour? Either way, The Intranquil Spirit may be able to help...

The Intranquil Spirit is needlessly feared and much misunderstood by people who have confused and conflated him with other entities like the nameless "intranquil spirits" that haunt the men of the world. The Intranquil Spirit (and his friends, the Seven Intranquil Spirits) are actually exclusively called upon for assistance in love affairs, and seem to have acquired their most negative associations only recently.

I have seen lots of the most difficult love cases helped by the Intranquil Spirit. He has brought back many a cranky, difficult lover that no other working could. Part of the confusion seems to stem from the way that the Intranquilo doesn't consider it his duty to stick around and hold the lover with you -- once he sees you're together, you're on your own. Some people interpret this as the Spirit "sabotaging your relationship" or "demanding more sacrifices" but the fact is, many other entities you can call on for aid will behave in the same way.

This new book, full of the latest research, shows you many variants on the spell, including traditional versions worked with lamps and tobacco (instead of candles) as well as prayers to the Intranquil Spirit and other entities who can help in your cause.

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...

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 ...

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...
