Lily Belle Comes Home!

Here's an update on the missing kitty Lily Belle:

Thank you for all your prayers and efforts for Lily Belle! Lily Belle came home late Friday night/early Sat morning. No obvious bleeding or gashes but it is painfully obvious that some great trauma occurred. She is not herself at all. Normally the friendliest of all our cats, she is avoiding everyone and hiding in the woods. She is totally skitzed out, with wild starting eyes and is not responding to verbal communication. I am beyond worried. Thank you so much for your concern and help! A few more prayers would be truly appreciated.

Blessed be,

Dee

Great Job Readers, but as you see, she still needs some more spiritual energy to calm down. Thanks for all your help. Dee, I suggest placing some lavender around the house to calm her spirit.
blessed be
Lexa

Wordy Wednesdays

Wednesday is associated with the Norse god Wodin or Odin, god of wind, excitement, words, and poetry. He is also a god of magic, war, wisdom, and prophecy. So powerful was his influence that the German word for Wednesday (containing his name) was changed to Mittwoch (mid week) by the Church fathers in an attempt to exorcise worship of Wodin.

Today is also sacred to the god Mercury. We can see his influence through the Spanish name for Wednesday - Miércoles. Mercury, or Hermes is the god of writing and communication. The alphabet and speech are sacred to him so you can see that today should be anything but wordless! It is the best day to work magick for creativity and success. It is also a wonderful day to have an important conversation or write a letter. In fact all kinds of writing are sacred on this day. It is also the best time to work magick to get another to call, email, or fax you. Here is the spell for that.

Take a piece of cotton and stretch it into the first letter of the name of the one you want to call. (for example, if you want Dave to call, shape the cotton into a D.) Now place this cotton letter near your phone, fax machine or computer. Surround the letter with a thin circle of dried fennel, oregano, dill, and caraway. These are all compelling and chatty herbs sacred to Mercury. Visualize the one you want to call and see him/her contacting you. This spell is very effective and can work within 10 minutes. Three days is the maximum time you should allow for spell to work.

Note: If you have had a fight with someone, this spell will not work. There is another version of this spell in my book Sexy Hexes that also includes a healing ritual before the phone spell. For more spells for Wednesdays, check out my book Enchanted Evenings.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tarot Card Magick

Ruby writes:
Hi lexa
How are you, sis?
Say, I wonder what are the correspondences for drawing more clients to get tarot readings. I'm thinking the emperor card …but I'm not sure, never done a spell for that.What is working for you usually:)?
Thank you sweetheart
Ruby

Hey Bro

how the hell are you! I keep answering your emails and they keep bouncing back so I hope you read this here and leave me a comment! The Emperor is not a bad choice except that it is ruled by Jupiter and as you know Jupiter always makes MORE of what you have. That's great if your business is already booming but if you have ONLY A FEW or NO CLIENTS - be careful as Jupiter will make MORE of this abysmal situation! I actually have a spell for Tarot readers in my book TAROT POWER using the Wheel of Fortune. This is a great card as it can increase psychic ability as well as your financial fortune. Other good choices are The Empress, The High Priestess, The Magician, and of course our friend down below...

In conclusion, my dear Ruby, the best card I suggest you use is...

YOUR BUSINESS CARD

GIVE IT OUT WHERE EVER YOU GO!!!

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Drifting back to Manic Monday

The Aunt Clara Moment has passed. Here are the ingredients for the CONCENTRATION potion. Use to keep you focused on your tasks or whenever you want to stop the mind from drifting.
use equal parts:
Mastic
Cinnamon
Myrrh
This can be ground into a powder and kept in a bowl on your desk. If you use organic ingredients, you can also place under the tongue. It may also be burned as an incense on charcoal or made in oil form and used to anoint the third eye or a black candle.

Earlier I listed two ingredients that are actually part of a Master formula. (Ho, where was my mind DRIFTING?!) The THIRD INGREDIENT is Tongue of Dog or Deer's Tongue and before you go harming any animals, just HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!! Deer's Tongue is an old Native American name for Wild Vanilla Grass. They call it that because the deer like to munch on it. You can find deer's tongue online or in a proper herb or occult shop. You can also substitute vanilla bean in the formula and that is very easily obtained in the market. The three ingredients are mixed together in equal parts and then used to dust the hands. It can also be made in oil form and used to anoint brown candles. The Master formula is great to use when you feel that opportunities are DRIFTING away from you! This potion brings confidence, luck and power in love and business matters. For the first two ingredients click here!

An astral travel tip: in order to avoid DRIFTING away into the void and land of no return, ALWAYS be sure to tie or anchor yourself before your journey. This is done by simply visualizing one end of a cord tied around your big toe and the other end tied around something physical in the room you are in. That way, you can always tug on the cord to safely return home.

Mango Magick

Once again we hear from our favorite Chic_Geek

Hi Lexa! Thanks for your answer to my question about new years day spells. the circle you cast on the blog was so thoughtful. I have a question. I recently applied for a job that I have been wanting for years. I found out about it through friends who work there and the manager there seems to like me so I figure my chances may be good. I went through the Power Spells book you wrote but couldn't really find anything to suit the situation (Or else I missed it) is there anything I can do to give my chances of getting hired a magickal boost?
Thanks so much!
Chic_Geek

Happy New Year C_G
Check out pg 64 fulfillment in work spell and pg 10 beat out competition. you are going to combine these two spells. when you read what each ingredient is for, it will make sense. the combining of two or more spells is often done to adapt the magick to the situation. (if this seems too complicated for some of your readers out there - don't sweat it. if you buy AND READ my books, obviously you'll be more in the loop. if not, well, just look at this as a brand new spell to get the job you want!

as always, begin on a new moon. next new moon is - whoah here we are. altho I suggest waiting until 24hr after the new moon for the first crescent of light to appear in the sky.
your ingredients:

skin of mango ground ginger ground orange peel dried basil

carve your name on the inside of a fresh peeled skin of a mango along with the position you would like along with the name of the company. (WARNING: if you are allergic to mango skin, you cannot do this spell!!! At least not without wearing gloves.) Rub the 3 herbs into your hands and then rub the mango skin between your hands dusting it with the other ingredients as well. use generous portions so that the herbs will stick to the flesh still remaining on the skin of the mango. let the skin sit on a window sill in the sun until it dries. then place in a cloth tea bag or ouanga bag and carry with you as a success and attraction talisman. once you have secured the position, remove the remaining ingredients from the bag and pulverize them using a wooden mortar and pestle. sprinkle this powder outside in front of your new office or job location to insure long lasting success and happiness there.

please keep us posted of your progress chic_geek.

dj muse

Dear Lexa,

I am trying like all get out to get a dj gig,
any spells for aspiring dj's? I spin
mash-up's/leftfield/electroclash
under the nom de turntable "Zee Bearoness".
Sort of a glam-punk bear
drag appearance, lots of fun in the set.

Hoping all is well with you, things are good here in Minneapolis.
Sorry I missed the wish spell deadline, but the year is off to a great start anyway.
Confidence is high, balanced with a new knowledge of my abilities.

Truffle-iciously yours,
Kenneth

Dear Kenneth

it's great to hear you are ringing in 2007
with some rad tunes!
For musical success, one should petition the muses. Polyhymnia, the muse of sacred song always answers requests when you present her with gifts of golden apples. Erato loves cardamom and she can help to create a passionate following for your music. You'll be sure to get lots of jobs when the club owners know that this dj will attract a crowd! and...Honey, I know you are down there doin your thang in the underworld so why not call on Big Mamma Muse herself (Calliope, mother of Orpheus) to help her boy out. She loves the color blue and she is always drawn to spinning ~ so spin a cd or some vinyl while you chant her name and call out your request. I would combine this summoning of the muses with a good old fashioned get a job spell or employment candle. The new moon is coming up on the 20th of this month and that's a great time to begin your magickal work. If you check out my book PowerSpells, you will find detailed information on all the muses and how to work rituals with them as well as some very effective employment spells. Punk Rock on, brother dj!

Real Estate Magick

Lexa:

I am selling my wonderful home in Southwest Florida without an agent. I am offering a $10,000 finders fee to the person who sends me the buyer. To extol its many virtues, my condo has its own website www.YouWillLoveItHere.com. What spell can you suggest for someone who is selling their home on their own?

May your blessings never end.
Athena

Athena:

Whether selling a home in Florida, Rome, or Dubai, one should always petition the oldest goddess of the hearth, Hestia or Vesta. The best way to summon her and ask for Her blessing is through the element of fire. I prepare handmade custom designed candles that are dedicated to Hestia. These candles contain prayers inviting Her in to bless the home or property, along with magick seals, sacred oils, and herbs designed for the specific requests of the petitioner (such as buying or selling of properties).

The property should also be consecrated, cleansed, and blessed in order to remove any negative energies or blocks and to swiftly attract a buyer. One of the simplist (yet powerful) ways to do this is to place equal amounts of fresh ginger, cinnamon sticks, and fresh basil, and bay leaves into a double boiler and steam until the space is filled with the aroma. You can also perform the dry method by pulverizing a teaspoon each of dried ginger, basil and bay leaves and mixing with equal amount of cinnamon powder. Sprinkle this blend around the property. Begin at the front door and move in a clockwise direction in a complete circle until you return to the front door. This ritual is most effective when performed on a new or full moon or on one of the festival dates of Vesta.

Next New Moon: 20 January
Next Full Moon: 2 February
Next Festival Dates of Vesta: 13 February, 1 March

I also have some other real estate spells on my website. Best of luck to you Athena and dear Readers please visit www.YouWillLoveItHere.com and check out this amazing property.

New Year Wishes Granted in the Magick Circle

Hi Lexa Aka The Witch Doctor,

With 2007 coming up are there any new year rituals you can suggest to bring more spice to life? I had a pretty dull year last year minus a few things and I want to make this one shine. I'm sure alot of people feel this way. How can one give life a kick the pants romantically, socially, and career wise? Anything you can recommend or are there any basic new year spells you could think of. Thanks and have a great 2007!

Happy New Year Chic Geek

The actual Witches' New Year is celebrated on Oct 31/Nov 1, so there aren't any official spells in the Book of Shadows for the Secular New Year although it is said that wearing yellow or burning a yellow candle on New Years' Day brings lots of good luck. If you want to spice up your life this year, add cinnamon and/or curry to your diet. These two work quickly to bring excitement and energy into life. Now, I have done something rather unusual here for the New Year because it is also going to be a Full Moon (and the first one of the year) on Jan 3.

All witches know that on the Full Moon
the Goddess will grant us each a boon.

I have cast a circle on this post. It has been blessed and consecrated as a magickal space of power and all who leave their comments here shall be empowered in the New Year with strength and energy to help their dreams come true. By the power invested in me as priestess and witch I have hereby summoned stirred and called up the mighty ones of north, east, south, and west to bless and protect this circle post. I have invoked the power of the mighty oak to give those who enter here strength, endurance, and resolve. I have summoned the power of the willow for those seeking flexibility and change. Hail, the power of the green earth for those in need of healing, grounding, and material well being. Also the power of the mountains for those who seek protection, power, wisdom, and insight. Feel the power of the winds for those who seek intellect, inspiration, success, communication, friendship, and creativity. Behold, the power of fire to fulfill your strong desires, to excite and fan the flames of passion, and create more energy, ambition, and drive. Here is the power of the oceans for those seeking peace, a better flow, treasure, fertility, abundance, and love. Post your magickal wishes and goals for 2007 in the comments section before Jan 4 2007 and they will be granted by the Goddess. So mote it be and

How to Hold on to a Dream Job...

Hello Lexa,
Thank you for this amazing site and all the fabulous work you do. I have several of your books and have worked many of the spells to MUCH success. I do have one question though. If someone has recently started a new job(somewhat dream job.. in the sense that is it is a crucial position to get their career to where it should be) what would be a great spell, talisman, etc. to work or use that could ensure success and great results. Aside from hard work and long hours which I have no problem doing, I would like to have something strong on my side to help me get that edge and have great results! Again, thank you for any advice you may have.

Sincerely,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for the terrific feedback and this is a great question. I have several spells concerning this and matters of a similar nature in my book PowerSpells:Get the Magical Edge in Business, Work, Relationships, and Life. This is the book that kind of got lost in the shuffle as it was released in Sep of 2001. I had a book signing scheduled on Oct 13 in the Borders Bookstore located in the WTC, but of course, that never happened! Ok, just a spooky Halloween story interlude, before answering your question: The best magick to work for your situation, is to eat ROOT vegetables. This will help to ground and maintain your situation. I suggest eating beets as they are in season and one of the best for success! After cooking the beets (may I reccommend "al dente" to keep things crisp), add a tablespoon of olive oil for LONGEVITY and a teaspoon of vinegar to PRESERVE your situation. You can also add fresh dill to keep things exciting! Eat on Thursdays or Saturdays for best results. There is also another Root Vegetable spell included in the PowerSpells book.

Talismans are very powerful and thanks to all the wonderful pagan artists out there, we have so many to choose from. Pepi is one of my favorite companies and has an excellent business and spiritual reputation. I would suggest one of the planetary talismans (such as Sun, Jupiter, or Mercury) to keep a good thing going, but you should also have a look at the magical talismans as well. Remember to consecrate your talisman with the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and charge it with personal intent.
good luck and good magick
blessed be
Lexa

Devilishly Great Feedback

Oct 2 2006

Dear Lexa,
Thank you for posting my question on Ask the Witch Doctor and your advice & answer. I appreciate and am grateful for you taking the time to not only answer my question but look at my art. A few days ago I discovered, I was mentioned in the local paper and one of my rocking chairs appeared in two photos in the article- and I was the only artist mentioned by name. And at the same time was accepted into an art show with 3 of my paintings at a gallery named the best art gallery in Cleveland, Ohio.

I agree with you I need to be more assertive but part of me is very, very shy. I have your PowerSpells book a great book! & 4 other books of yours) and I confess I have not tried those spells you mentioned but I definitely will now. I also have a beautiful framed picture of Saraswati and I will include her in my chants & prayers.

Best Wishes,
Katie Pfeiffer

Hey Kate
According to St. Tomas (patron saint of art and booksellers), shyness is NOT a Virtue. So give that up girl!

2nd update Oct 26 2006

Hi Lexa,

Happy Samhain to you. 3 paintings are currently being exhibited at the Pop Shop in Lakewood Ohio in their Sugar Coated Halloween show which was voted the best art gallery in Cleveland. My mermaid & angel chairs were auctioned off at the hospital + a Halloween painting. I took my inspiration for the mermaid chair from German Expressionism. I used a layer of sparkly paint over the painting plus several coats of varnish to make the chairs sparkle.

I realized something after I wrote to you. Making art (or doing anything in your life) has to have passion & love behind it or you are wasting your time (in a spiritual sense). I want passion in my life and peace.

Thank you for the fame!

Katie

Thanks for the updates Lakshmigirl! I love the "sparkles" on the chairs. The witches call sparkles "fairydust" and believe they attract good spirits and success. Also remember to burn yellow candles weekly to keep that wonderful roll you're on going strong!
blessed Samhain and I love those cute little devils!
Lexa

Announcing The FUR BALL - a PURRfect Party!

Dear Lady Venus,
I'm having a trick or treat party and I want to make sure it's a real WINGDING!!! I've already planned a fancy feast but is there a special god or goddess that I can petition to make sure I have a PURRfect fiesta? Gracias por todo, and if you're not busy on Halloween, please stop by.
In gratitude,
Macho Meow

Dear MM,
It sounds very merry already. I wish I could attend, but you know, Halloween is the Witches' New Year (officially known as Samhain), and I'm pretty busy on that night. However, I know exactly who you should call. The Egyptian Cat Goddess Bast is the Party Queen and all good witches know to summon her for social success!

Here's how it works... She loves the scent of Musk, so burn some musk incense or spray the scent around the room about an hour before to add an air of sex, magic, and mystery. Musk also promotes good conversation. Bast adores CATNIP, so sprinkle a healthy dose in the four corners of the room to bring energy, enthusiasm and fun. Is it a charity benefit? Then get ye some YLANG YLANG oil. It is sacred to Bast and GREAT for increasing generosity and attracting wealth. She also loves orange, red, and yellow carnations - they make her very happy (and her happiness rubs off on others!) Finally, get some CAT CANDLES. You can use orange and black, if you want to get really spooky Halloweeny - but Bast prefers to paint the town RED! It's the color of love and admiration. Burn them and you'll be so POPULAR that people will rave about your brilliant bash long after it's done. Speaking of frisky frolicking - my friend The Queen of the Night is planning a soirée and we'd like to invite you and all my readers too!

I am pleased to announce

Starving Artist?

Dear Lexa ( a.k.a. The Witch Doctor),

Hi! I own many of your books- love them & I respect your wisdom & insight which is why I'm writing to you. I need help with my art career. I have a kick ass website & have put myself on as many art websites as I can. I do sell some of my work on eBAY but mostly for a mere pittance. Recently, I got into a group show at a real (read: physical) art gallery which I am grateful for but Saturn transitting Leo in my 10th house seems to be thwarting all my efforts (i'll try & keep these examples brief.

I got to paint two rocking chairs for a charity auction for a local hospital. I signed a contract with them (money went to the neo natal unit (which was a good cause)but they promised to exhibit the chairs (me and 20 other artists)- then they didn't. I put about 30 hours of labor into each chair. Then I went to a taping of the ISAAC show in NYC and as soon as we were seated, we were told by the crew "we won't be filming the audience and doing Q & A from the audience like last season. I was bummed - I had emailed them the question as they asked beforehand & brought the garment to show Isaac Mizrahi. My birthdate is May 11, 1964 6:06 p.m. Chicago, Il. I have 0 degrees Scorpio rising) Can you either suggest a good spell to deal with Saturn or suggest a good spell to do with my art. I want positive fame (a la Julia Child). I also feel my artwork is special because it is colorful, happy & heals people & is ORIGINAL.

The last time Saturn was in Leo I was in Junior High (my Hellish years), and I had issues with being in the school orchestra & band. I played the flute and there was a group of jealous mean girls who resented the fact I would win 1st chair ( I had to practice 2 hours a day due to my parents - they made me get a private flute teacher). I endured daily taunts and jeers - name calling, gum on my seat, spitballs etc. because I played the flute well. I thought then "maybe it is better not to excel at something"because instead of being admired, I am dealing with negativity. Now with the art- selling it this means a livelyhood for me, not just for the attention. I know you understand what I'm talking about it.

Thank you for any advice in advance,
Katie Pfeiffer ( a.k.a. Lakshmigirl)

Dear Lakshmigirl

The effects of Saturn can be devastating especially during the Saturn Return which happens in the 28th-29th year of age. I'm not sure of your specific issue with Saturn in Leo, but my guess is, that being a Taurus with Scorpio rising, your hair stands up on end and you feel way too crowded when Tough Guy Saturn shows up arm in arm with Leo, another FIXED sign. This is bound to cause power struggles and issues for you. A deeper analysis of your chart would be sure to reveal more, and I am available for indepth private astrological and psychic tarot consultations.

I don't know if you are aware of it, but SATURN transiting the TENTH HOUSE (whether in Leo or any other sign) represents a period in one's life when given the opportunity to reach a professional peak. It is the time to step up to the plate and be the most you can be. This cycle only happens once in every twelve years so you will want to take advantage of it. PATIENCE and PERSISTANCE are the key elements needed to glean all possible success from this transit. You'll also want to think more like a CAPRICORN as that is the ruler of the 10th H. (as well as the ruler of Saturn!)

I applaud your generousity in donating art for charity, but a Cap would be more enterprising, materialistic, and CAPitalistic in approach and would never let them get away with reneging on a written contract! Now, attempting to rub up next to ISAAC - that's pure goat! Only problem, you relied on luck or random chance by hoping to be picked as an audience member. A Cap would rather die that rely on luck. They use pushiness, power, and influence. (think insider trading.) I would ask you to consider making Saturn your friend and ally right now. To embrace and then harness it's energy as a driving force to give you a leading edge in your field. You will also want to invest in some watermelon tourmaline. This gemstone is known to offset the negative effects of Saturn and allow things to flow more smoothly.

I have written a very effective spell to sell artistic work in my latest book TarotPower. The spell is called Get That Grant and you can find it posted on the Spell section of my website.

Also I'd like to remind you about one of the stories told about the Goddess Lakshmi and her sister Saraswati.

As you know, Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth and Saraswati is her sister, the Hindu goddess of art, poetry, skill, refinement, and grace. It is said that if one prays only to Lakshmi, s/he will be led to things that are tasteless and coarse.
Whereas if one includes worship of Saraswati, one receives both wisdom and wealth, and a refined sense of enrichment. Case in point is the tale of the two brothers - the first prayed only to Lakshmi for weath and was led to a mine rich with carbon although he had no knowledge of how to pipe into it. The second brother prayed to Saraswati as well and he gained discovery to the same mine. He was also given knowledge of not only how to extract the carbon but how to polish and cut it to reveal the many facets of what then became a PRICELESS gem. So my friend, is it possible that as an artist you are still somehow a "diamond in the rough"? Include some prayers to Saraswati in your daily life or create an altar for her and see if things don't change.

Finally, I have viewed your art and it is colorful and wonderful. It is possible that you are one of those purely creative folk who doesn't really fare well at the business end of your field. I don't think you are alone in this - and that's why the Goddess created managers and agents! I have a wonderful networking formula in my PowerSpells book that can be used to attract both clients and good representation. Check it out!

May the Holy Hindu sisters bless you in all your creative endeavors.

Blessings
Lexa (aka the Witch Dr.)
