substitutions for candles to mark a circle
Dear Lexa
Are there any substitutions I can use to mark a circle besides a candle? I live in an apartment complex and also use a Wheelchair. The apartment managers do not like or allow candles in the building can you help me substitute any other objects in place of candles?
The candles used to mark the quarters or 4 directions of the circle could be replaced by small electric lights or flashlights. You could also use something symbolic of the quarter instead of the candle such as
a feather to represent the east
something red and fiery (jalapeño pepper comes to mind) to represent the south
a bowl of water or a shell to represent west
a smooth stone to represent the north.
You could also just visualize the candles without actually having them there.

wronged but want to do what is right
I have a question. I firmly and totally believe what goes around comes around and would never wish harm on anyone or anything. That being said, how can you hope someone or ones get their comeuppence for doing you wrong and spreading hurtful demeaning lies and rumors around the community that people are believing and having ruined my honest and once upstanding reputation?
g
There are many spells to stop gossip and to to regain a position or reputation that has been lost. The most popular one is a candle called Tapa la Boca or Shut Your Mouth. It can be purchased in most well stocked botanicas. This candle is burned to stop the person or persons from continuing to do damage through speech or actions.
There is also a spirit known as Nebiros who helps one restore honor or regain a position that has been taken. His seal or signature used to draw him down along with instructions can be found in the Goetia or Lesser Key of Solomon. To invoke him, his seal must be carved into metal and worn or can be etched into parchment or wax and burned. Nebiros also responds well to a mixture of brick dust, patchouli, cinammon and mastic. This spirit would be summoned to reverse the damages that have been done to you.
If it's justice you seek, I recommend the Egyptian Goddess Maat as she weighs the souls of mortals and decides their fates. There is a wonderful seal with instructions for a ritual in Lady Rhea's book The Enchanted Candle. These candles can also be prepared by me and ordered through my website.

Chestnuts & Cloves remedy Global Economic Crisis
Dear Lexa Rosean,
I have read some of your books that where released here in Germany. A lot of your magical spells I am testing.
In one of your books you describe magic how to win a court case too.
I have to appear in court next month, because my ex boy friend steal a lot of money from me. He is a would-be lawyer and it seams that he will win the court case, because there are not any evidences that he has taken the money. Only what I have told the police is the reason, why we have to appear in court. I have given him money before too, because he informed me that he as problems and need money. He promises that he will give back the money as soon as possible. I never got the money back, that I have given him.
When I am going to court I need something that the public prosecutor and the jurist believe my version of the case. You wrote that I need therefore a chestnut. There is no chance to buy some chestnuts now in the supermarket, because first when it is fall, I can buy it here in Germany. Is there any chance to take something that has the same magic like a chestnut?
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Best wishes
Vinaceous
Dear Vinaceous
There is nothing that quite does the trick as well as chestnut so I would ask you to check if it is not possible to find canned chestnut stuffing in the market. If so, scoop some out on a spoon into a square of tinfoil. Fold up the tinfoil and gently carve a pentagram over the top of it and then carry in a pocket or purse when you go into the court room.
If this is not possible, you can use a mixture of rose, mint, and nutmeg. Can be oil or powdered dried herb/flower form. But with this, you would need to dust your hands and somehow touch your ex. (maybe you could shake his hand?) It forces liars to be exposed and/or come clean and ask for forgiveness. By touching him in the courtroom after you have dusted your hands with the potion, the prosecutor and jurist will be able to see through his lies. If you cannot touch him without raising suspicion or possible endangerment to yourself, then I recommend dusting a photo of him with the mixture on the night before your court date. You should also dust your hands with the powder in the morning before you go to court just in case you get an opportunity to safely touch him or even a chair that he will sit upon.
good luck and success in court.
blessings
Lexa
p.s. you should also chew 3 cloves and then spit them out while calling out his name and the amount of money he owes you. Repeat this 3 times. It is an old spell to collect debts.

Casting the Circle
Dear Mrs Rosean I read in a Book that it is correct to say Lord and Lady of the __insert Direction to Witness this Right and Guard this Circle do not know if that is correct can you answer?
Yes, this is more or less correct except usually we summon the elementals that correspond to each direction.
For example: "I do summon stir and call you forth O you mighty ones of the East- powers of Sweet Air, Sylphs, Winged Ones(add any other creatures associated with the East) that you might witness our rite and guard and protect our circle in the name of Lord and Lady" (here you can also add specific God/dess names that are the tradition of your coven or that connect with the type of ritual you intend to perform. Hope this helps.

Candle Spells and How they Work
HI,
DOES YOUR SPELL CANDLE MANIFEST QUICK FULL RESULTS? ARE ALL UR SPELLWORK DONE BY CANDLE ONLY? THANK U.....JOHN
Hi John
Each case is different concerning how long the spell will take to work. It depends on what you want and how clear your path is on the way to getting it. There are however traditional ingredients that can be added to any spell for fast results. (cinnamon is a favorite for speed). For the most part, you should feel some type of effect within a full lunar cycle (28 days), sometimes sooner. If no progress on your objective is made within that time period, it means you need a spiritual reading to analyze why it's not working. Perhaps you have approached the work incorrectly. Working spells without a diagnostic is basically the same as taking meds without getting a physical from a Doctor. There are also many different types of spells just as there are for example many different types of antibiotics. You have to find the one that you respond to best for good results. In addition, the answer to your question will depend on the nature of the spell. If what you want is a long term goal, do not expect it to work overnight. Generally these spells are more effective when done in phases. For example, if you need to lose over 75 pounds, you would do best to break that down to 3 candles asking for 25 pounds each. Don't expect to light one candle and wake up in the morning 75 pounds thinner. This is not how it works. Candle spells are a spiritual tool to guide you through real life work and action. They are most effective when worked with in this way. Finally, spells are like prayers. Some are answered. Some or not. Bottom line, this lies in the wisdom of God and Goddess.
In terms of my services, I offer candle spells and spell consults. A spell consult means an assessment of your situation and a personalized spell designed for you either with candle work or other methods. It does not mean however that I perform the spell for you. I strongly believe that the practitioner must be involved with the magick in order for it to be most effective. I also offer tarot and astrology and past life readings. In addition, I have written 11 books of spells and most are available through my website or on Amazon.

God Ganesh
If you are having career or financial difficulties during these hard times, I can not stress the importance of having a representation of the God Ganesh in your household. If you are interested in hinduism, yoga, eastern philosophies, or of Indian descent, you are probably familiar with Ganesh. If not, you should be. He is the Lord of Removing Obstacles and often turned to spirituallly for financial aid. He has many aspects so you'll want to do some research before choosing your Ganesh Statue. Ganesh Mall has a wide and diverse assortment of Ganesh statues and products so it's a great place to shop for all your Ganesh needs. Along with statues of Ganesh in many different poses and atop a lotus (spiritual) in a tusk (for power), they offer wall hangings, books, jewelry, and my personal favorite - a Ganesh messenger bag. (Ganesh is also the messenger god :-)The best selling items are the brass statues and these are the most traditional depictions of Ganesh and are traditionally displayed in the home or workplace and chanted over along with offerings and flowers being placed in front of the statues. The site also offers lots of information on Ganesh if you want to learn more about him.
It is also traditional to make a gift of Ganesh to a friend or loved one who is troubled in some way or needs help overcoming obstacles. Ganesh Mall provides a gift giving service that includes gift wrapping. Wow, another obstacle already overcome!
Om gam ganapataye namaha!
Power of the Pentacle
What effect does drawing the Pentacle in the air with the Athame or hand have on the magick you do?
-Raymond
Dear Raymond
the drawing of the Pentacle is one of the most powerful aspects of the Witche's rites and part of drawing the circle to create sacred space. By drawing the Pentacle in the air with Athame or middle and pointer finger of right hand, you are invoking the God, Goddess, and Elemental forces to protect, empower, and witness your rite. The effect - providing the Divine Elements approve of your magick - would be to get a Spiritual Seal of Approval upon your work.
Good luck and good magick

OKRAnomic Magick
Dear Mrs Lexa Rosean,
Does Okra due to its green color have any known Magickal attributes?
-Daniel B
Thanks for the great question. Okra is a wonderful food & unfortunately an
oversite not to include in my book The Encyclopedia of Magickal Ingredients.
You are correct in calling attention to the green color of Okra. Many green colored foods (including Okra) can be worked with to draw fertility/prosperity. Seeded plants (such as grapes) are also used in money rituals and Okra contains white seeds which makes it especially good for cleansing and removing financial obstacles. Okra is one of the main staples of "soul food" and was also known as slave food. Unfortunately we are all (rich and poor), slaves to the current global economic problems and all of us could use a good infusion of Okra into our diets.
Finally, as I mentioned, the amazing Okra also has some special "tantric" properties. Eat pickled okra to last longer in bed. Cook okra with stewed tomatoes on a full moon and feed to a lover to keep him/her faithful and to give a "sticktuitiveness" to the relationship. It can also be eaten after a miscarriage to insure that the next pregnancy will stick and the woman will safely carry to full term. In this case, the okra should be sliced so the seeds are exposed, lightly sauteed with olive oil or butter and sea salt and shared by the couple on a new moon.
Hail & Blessings to the Okra - a gift of Mother Earth infused with Magickal attributes!

Unfortunately we are all (rich and poor), slaves to the current global economic problems and all of us could use a good infusion of Okra into our diets.
The fruit (vegetable) is also phallic shaped and that makes it a prime ingredient for sex magick. But perhaps the most magickal quality of "Gumbo" or Okra is it's texture. The uniquely sticky gooey characteristic that often turns folks off from eating it is exactly the reason why Okra yields such powerful spiritual benefits. Cook Okra in seafood gumbo for comfort, protection, and sustenance during hard times (regardless of the lunar cycle). It acts as a thickening agent on the spiritual level just as it does on the physical plane and will help to stretch whatever resources you have to cover your expenses until better times come along. It is good for getting jobs, money & financial opportunities to stick to you! Eat it on a new moon (and during waxing moon cycles) when looking for work or when you are freelancing and want to get return clients or referrals.
Okra is a member of the cotton family and has strong communication vibrations. Eat on Wednesday to help bring business from advertising. The cottons also ward off poverty, so eat anytime you feel in financial danger or hang and dry Okra flowers or fruit over the hearth to protect from financial disaster.Finally, as I mentioned, the amazing Okra also has some special "tantric" properties. Eat pickled okra to last longer in bed. Cook okra with stewed tomatoes on a full moon and feed to a lover to keep him/her faithful and to give a "sticktuitiveness" to the relationship.

Check in with your Psychic!
| |
November 23, 2008
Love, Jobs & 401(k)s
ON a good day last summer, Thomas Taccetta, a stock trader, might have checked his financial charts before plotting the day’s investments. Today he is likely to check in with his psychic as well. “I’ll play the broadest index, the S.&P. 500,” Mr. Taccetta said, “and if she tells me she is getting a negative view, I will sell.”
Since September, when the Dow collapsed, Mr. Taccetta, who trades for his own portfolio in Boca Raton, Fla., has talked with his psychic about once a month, roughly twice as often as a year ago. “There is no rhyme or reason to the way the market is trading,” he said. “When conditions are this volatile, consulting a psychic can be as good a strategy as any other.”
In an era when even Henry M. Paulson Jr., the Treasury secretary, changes his mind weekly about how to rescue the United States economy, Mr. Taccetta’s decision to seek the advice of a psychic may not seem all that irrational. With Washington flinging pieces of the $700 billion bailout package around, dithering about whom to rescue — homeowners? automakers? cousin Fred? — a good set of tarot cards might come in handy.
“Your mortgage agents, your realtors, your bankers, you can’t go to these people anymore,” said Tori Hartman, a psychic in Los Angeles. “They’re just reading a script — at least that’s how my clients feel. People are sensing that the traditional avenues have not worked, that all of a sudden this so-called security that they’ve built up isn’t there anymore. They come to a psychic for a different perspective.”
Psychics say their business is robust, as do astrologers and people who channel spirits, read palms and otherwise predict the future (albeit not the winning lottery numbers). Their clients, who include a growing number of men, are often professional advice-givers themselves, in fields like real estate and investments, and they typically hand over anywhere from $75 to $1,000 an hour for this form of insight.
“My Web traffic is up and up and up,” said Aurora Tower, a New Yorker who constructs spidery star charts for her growing clientele. “People will entertain the irrational when what they consider rational collapses.”
Quackery? Whatever. But after all, the nation’s supposed experts on the economy, from pundits on the networks to billionaire investment bankers, have not been exactly reliable. And spiritual readings, as they are known, appear to be one of the few growth sectors in a contracting economy.
“My phone is ringing off the hook,” said Roxanne Usleman, a psychic in Manhattan.
Ms. Usleman, who says she channels angels to advise her clients on interpersonal and financial matters, reported both a spike in traffic on her Web site and a significant surge in private consultations. She used to see comfortably 15 to 20 clients a week, she said. Now she meets with more than twice that number. “I’m having trouble squeezing in appointments,” she said.
Dawn Carr, a psychic in Boston, said her holiday bookings jumped as much as 70 percent this year over last, fueled in part by corporate bookings for holiday parties. “These people are looking for someone not just to entertain them, but to enlighten them,” she said.
Although most of us would settle for just enough telepathy to read our spouse’s mind, some people crave more.
“When you don’t know what to expect of a job interview or a business partnership,” said Gita V. Johar, a professor of at the Columbia University Business School, “that is when you’re most likely to turn to a psychic.”
Professor Johar, whose specialty is studying the effects of superstition on consumer behavior, suggested that when your portfolio is shrinking or your business is tanking, talking to a soothsayer may be “one way of feeling in control.” She needed no crystal ball herself to predict that “given the uncertainty of the economy, psychics are going to see an increase in business.”
The steep prices charged by practitioners of divination do not seem to have deterred many of the financially fretful. Ms. Hartman, the Los Angeles psychic, said her Internet traffic has picked up substantially, from about 30 visitors a day to more than 200. She charges from $150 for a 30-minute telephone reading to $500 for 90 minutes of “intuitive counseling.” In what is perhaps a sign of the times, the $70 moss-scented prosperity candle offered on her Web site has become her best seller, she said.
Many more men have joined the ranks of seekers. “In the old days men would turn to their wives and ask, ‘What did that goofball say, honey?’ ” said Michael Lutins, a New York writer and astrologer. “Now they are raising their heads, interested in matters that were once considered women’s stuff.” Mr. Lutin has lectured about astrology at such male-dominated institutions as the Harvard Business School Club of New York.
Ms. Usleman said that her once predominantly female clientele has also expanded. Men — among them lawyers, doctors, chief executives and insurance brokers — now make up about 50 percent of her business. They approach her, she said, with highly targeted questions, as if they were grilling an investment counselor. “Before agreeing to a reading, they will ask: ‘What is your accuracy rate? Can you guarantee your readings? How do you get your information and can I depend on it?’ ”
Aside from storefront readers, psychics rarely hang out a shingle, making their earnings hard to track. But one person who has attempted to quantify the rising popularity of psychics is Robert LoCasio, the chief executive of LivePerson.com, a site offering telephone consultations with experts in fields from finance to fly fishing.
When he bought his company a year ago, Mr. LoCasio checked the Consumer Sentiment Index, which is published by the University of Michigan and charts consumer confidence, from 2005 through September of this year. He then compared the data with records from his own company, and drew the conclusion that when the economy is down, consultations with psychics spike noticeably.
Live Person earned revenues of $30 million this year, about 70 percent derived from spiritual readers, Mr. LoCasio said. “In this day and age, a spiritual guide is an everyday therapist — that’s what the business has become,” he said.
In more ordinary economic cycles, psychics tend to offer guidance on romance and relationships. These days, they are besieged with questions about whether a pink slip is in the cards, whether a condo will sell, or whether a company will continue to prosper.
Alicia Bowling, who runs a sports bar in Manhattan, consulted a psychic when friction with a business partner seemed about to imperil her livelihood. “I used to go to my psychic about twice a year, but in the past year, yikes, I may have talked to her a dozen times,” said Ms. Bowling, 49. “I used to ask more about love, or will I ever be married, but with all these hard times, I wonder, ‘What’s going to happen to my bar and will I survive?’ ”
Sergei Pamukh, a New York stock trader, considers himself a skeptic about supernatural matters, but softened his stance after consulting Ms. Usleman, the Manhattan psychic. When his business was flailing earlier this fall, she suggested that he travel to Moscow to meet with a billionaire mogul. “In two or three weeks I am going,” he said.
Ms. Usleman said she typically fields questions these days like, “Should I go back and live with my parents?” and “Is it O.K. to take my children out of private school?” In the past, she added, “they would ask, ‘Should I have a baby?’ But now they have put that on hold.
“Basically, what people want to know in a troubled economy,” she said, “is what can they do to reinvent themselves.”
Fahrusha, a Madame Blavatsky from Manhattan, said that clients have been pressing her with highly focused queries. “They might want to know about investing in a particular security, or ask how the euro will fare against the dollar,” she said. In flusher times, they might have consulted a financial expert, she said, “but some of these people are experts themselves.”
Maria Napoli, a Manhattan astrologer whose clientele includes a growing circle of the rich and famous in the worlds of fashion, art and finance, observed that many of her clients were fretting about a global picture, not just their careers. “They are asking: ‘Where are we headed as a country? Are we entering a depression?’ I get a lot of Republicans wondering where their party is going.”
Mostly they are after a little peace of mind.
“It pays to cover all your bets,” said Stuart McFaul, who runs a marketing and public relations company in San Francisco.
Mr. McFaul checks in with his psychic when he is stumped for answers about where his business, and his competition, might be headed. “I’m a big believer that you really don’t dismiss any opinion,” he said.
Ms. Bowling, the bar owner, is grateful for the slightest shred of insight. “In times that are this nerve-racking, all it takes is one word that kind of helps you get through your day,” she said.

塔羅女巫 Lexa Rosean
Lexa Rosean不但是個靈媒，還是個現代女巫，她用占星和塔羅為客人解答疑難雜症。身在猶太家族中的她，15歲時因為身為同性戀而被逐出教會，之後來到紐約並加入Wicca巫術教會，學習塔羅占星、葯草學和巫術，並於Enchantments巫術店工作7年。
用 塔羅和占星術算命後，Lexa Rosean談談做女巫的好處：「發現問題，我還可以教客戶用魔咒來心想事成。」許多人對魔咒質疑，Lexa Rosean表示，魔咒是種祈禱、也能保持能量和磁場：「在魔咒中用最多的是芬香治療，就跟香水廣告一樣，如果我們使用葯草泡魔術浴、或是塗上愛情靈藥， 這會讓我們的靈氣充滿更迷人的氣息，也可以打開我們的潛意識。」

New Moon Rituals
hello Lexa,How are you doing? I have a quick question, some of the spells in your book ask that you do it on a new moon. Do I have to do it exactly the time it turns new moon, what is the time frame?
Thank you.
Cat
Hi Cat
it is best to wait 12 to 24 hours after the exact time of the new moon or until you see the first sliver of light in the night sky.

An update--a baby girl!...
Dear Lexa,
Thank you.
Months ago, I wrote to you asking for help.
I was pregnant, and my man had left me, screaming obcenities
and threats at me as he went. I was scared that he would make good
on his threat to take my baby; I was scared that I wouldn't be able
to get through the pregnancy and the hard winter alone, and I was
just very sad.
You wrote a kind post, and told me about the Goddess Durga,
and instructed me to perform a chant in her honour, requesting her
aid.
I did as you told me to, and things are much better than
they were. I credit your help and the assistance of Durga with the
improvements in my condition. Thank you.
My beautiful baby girl, Anna Clotilde, is almost two months
old now. She was born on May 29th, at seven thirty in the evening.
She was born healthy and strong.
I got through the hard winter, and my midwives told me that
all the walking I did (I have no car and funds were too tight to
take the bus most of the time-- good food for the baby was my
priority), all the snow shoveling, all the housework and swimming
and yoga, all of that kept Anna moving around in the amniotic
fluid, helping her develop the wonderful muscle tone she was born
with.
Anna takes such pleasure in her own physicality-- it makes
me happy to see my heavy-bodied lonely struggling transformed into
such a good thing. Every one remarks on how strong and solid and
lively she is. Devi the student midwife called her "Superbaby".
I gave birth to Anna at my mother's house. Anna
was born in her grandmother's bathtub. I ran a bath for myself and
had her there just instinctually. My Mum cut the cord, so three
generations of our family's female line were involved in that act.
This was powerful and healing.
My man did not come. Instead, my friend Cass, who provided me
with consistent love and friendship (and a supply of juicy gossip)
through the whole pregnancy was there. While we waited, we watched
movies and took walks and baked and made art and wrote and sewed
things. It was great.
Coming with me to my hometown to stay at my Mum's until the
baby came was the first time Cass had ever left the States. She
said that her month at Mum's fufilled a "seven year dream" she had
had for a real holiday with no work, but one where she wasn't
spending her savings on accomodations or food.
Despite all the trouble my man and my broken heart were
giving me, being pregnant was a tender and powerful time in my
life. Giving birth to Anna was the strongest and best thing I have
ever done. I love my daughter and I love being her mother.
Thank you and Goddess Durga for helping me to appreciate my
power and strength at a time when all I felt was abandoned and
vulnerable and fearful for the well being of my baby.
Anna and I had a powerful birth-- my membranes were ruptured
for three days, then I had over thirty hours of early labour,
through which I gardened and prepared food for the midwives and
organized the birth room, and then five hours of active labour,
well supported by my excellent midwife and her student. I did not
need drugs, and I moved around and made noise as I saw fit. It was
amazing.
E--- told me that he will not try to take Anna from me, and
as that was at the heart of my fears when I consulted you, I thank
you again for helping me to protect my daughter.
He has visted twice, the second time with his parents. Those
visits have been intense and both good and terrible. His Dad got
drunk and refered to me by the name of E---'s ex-girlfriend all
through dinner with my whole family, but hey.
E--- loves his daughter-- he was shocked by his love for her-
- - and he loves me, too, in a twisted up way that hurts me-- and
clearly also him, his family, and my family-- to be near.
I feel an odd and powerful mix of anger and compassion when I
think of him, and I don't know where things will go. He is
volitile, so the situation still seems dangerous, but I am stronger
and clearer more powerful than he is, and Anna was born safely and
she is strong, too. We are a good pair.
His mother has decided that she and her husband need to seek
counseling, which is a good thing, and she is at last urging E---
to seek help as well. She said that Anna "melted her heart", which
is a powerful image. Thank you and Goddess Durga for that shift in
her.
I hadn't realized that in the American South you can say
anything about anyone as long as you tack the phrase "bless his (or
her) little heart" onto the end of what you said.
For example: E---'s mother was shocked that all the gardens
in my mother's neighbourhood were different from one another, as
they have rules against that in her gated community.
She handled my mother's lesbianism better this time, as they
discovered that they both like quilting and other women's
handicrafts-- it was funny to watch them bond-- but she could not
get over the fact that Mum's neighbour, who is a surgeon, has a
clothes line for his laundry.
She's too narrow minded to understand a surgeon with a clothes
line, bless her little heart.
See! It works! I love the "bless his little heart" trick. It is
magic. You get to say what you need to say without being full of
scorn or rage yourself, and you disarm the anger your comment or
opinion might otherwise be greeted with.
E---'s father is a raging drunk, bless his little heart.
It makes you feel good instead of bad--magic. Jesus said to
bless those who curse you, and there are probably many other
sources of this same information-- it does seem to make things flow
in a better direction if you add a blessing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As I am trying to figure out how to be a self-supporting
single mother of a newborn, and how I'm going to either convince
school to give me back my scholarship or find a new avenue to go
down to reach my goals, I am short on cash money funds.
All I can give you right now is my gratitude and my
testemonial.
I will do my best to share what I know and can do as generously
as you share your wisdom and skills with those in need.
At some point, I will have enough saved to pay you for a
reading for my new daughter-- as her mother, I would like to know
how to support and help her to do what she needs to do in this
life.
Here, too, are some pictures of my Anna.
Thank you, Lexa Rosean.

Dear Sasha
I have not been inspired to post on this blog in months and your heartfelt email has broken the dry spell. So pleased and honored to be of assistance and thrilled with the outcome!
Anna is some looker! (Sorry readers, I don't post pics of newborns on the blog.) And you've given her one of the most powerful and oldest of the goddess names :) She is also born one day after me and as a Gemini, I'm sure she will be creative and a natural born psychic and channeler. I am sending you Anna's astrological chart as a gift (under separate cover) because I am so moved by your letter and life. I hope the charts and interpretations will give you insight into her soul.
It's great to hear about how you are acknowledging and dealing with your anger toward the ones you love. It sounds like right now there is more to hate about E (and his family) than there is to love about him. So it's good you are not together. Hopefully the magic of therapy will turn that around and he'll become a good dad and maybe even great husband. But for now, it sounds like you and Anna are in a great place and I wish you many blessings and continued protection from the Durga.

Greetings Lexa,
Blessed Be,
Stressed To The Limit
Dear STTL
Lexa
Thank you for taking the time to read this as I know you get many questions. Here is my situation. I am a peaceful quiet person and I live above two people in my apartment building who fight constantly and when I say fight I mean they throw things, slam doors and scream at each other. I usually just ignore it but it escalated over the past few months when they started slipping notes through my door accusing ME of being loud I got mad. I have a one and a half month old daughter who is a calm, quiet little girl. She doesn't run and when she starts to I tell her to slow down, she only screams occasionally as children will do sometimes. She is a blessing. They recently told me in yet another note that she is to loud, runs way to much and screams to much. They themselves have a 7 month old child and they are saying my daughter is effecting his sleep, I question that when she is quiet and they have weekly screaming matches right in front of him? To add insult to injury they recently started lying to the landlord making up complaints about us. We already talked to the landlord about this and he is on our side as he knows of their loud fighting and what not, but my question is this. Is there a spell I can preform to get them to move? I thought about a binding spell to stop them from attacking us anymore but I want them gone, I put up with their disturbances and fighting but the last straw is when someone accuses my child of being loud when I have taught her to be quiet and when someone makes up lies about me. If there is any advice you can offer for my situation I would be so so grateful.
Blessed Be,
Stressed To The Limit
Dear STTL
Your situation sounds pretty explosive and I would suggest that you immediately burn or sprinkle sage and lavender around the apartment to neutralize all the negativity and calm down this stressful and aggressive situation. Although I would not recommend a binding spell you might want to put their names in an ice cube tray filled with water and place in the freezer. This would 'freeze' them from taking any more negative action toward you with the landlord. I also suggest you try the Noise Spell. It is under the Fool section in my book Tarot Power. I also have several spells that would apply to your situation in my first book The Supermarket Sorceress. This book has recently gone out of print but you can find used copies on Amazon.

Love on Course
Hi Lexa,
Back in 2006 I made a love overture to this guy. I was unaware of the void moon of course. Two years down the road, I realized that when I made my overture the moon was void of course and all of the times we got together fell during a moon void of course. The last time we met was 5 months ago, we kissed and he told me he loves me but that was it. It was weird our relationship didn't move forward.
Is there a spell I can do to correct this? I also want to know what spell I can do to help me make me look strong and confident when we meet again. I like him so much but I tend to act nervous in front of him.
I dont know the year he was born but I know he's a Gemini and I'm a Libra.
Hope to hear from you.
Cat
Dear Cat
Thank you for your question. Before I give your answer, I just want to explain to my readers the meaning of void of course moon. This is when the moon is traveling between two astrological signs and so basically the moon becomes directionless during this short period. You can locate the void of course moons by using a good astrological calendar. The one I recommmend is Jim Manard's Celestial Influences.
In order to correct this problem, I suggest you make your next contact on a New Moon. The next one coming up will be on June 3rd and it is in Gemini which is great for communication.
As for the second part to your question, eating cherries is great for boosting the confidence. I would also suggest eating avocados for beauty and taking a bath in fresh mint leaves and orange peel to infuse your aura with strong sexy vibes. Please keep me posted on how it goes.
May Venus the Goddess of Love bestow you with her blessings
