Working with Blue Bottles

You don't hear anything about working with blue bottles on the internet. All I've seen online workers say about these bottles is to hang them in your yard to make a bottle tree. There's more you can do with that bottle than hanging it on a branch just to look pretty. As more folks online especially Internet hoodoos hear about blue bottles you'll see all kinds of information on websites almost like Mawmaw handed it to them straight from the grave, LOL.

Working with blue bottles is really old conjure work. All the old workers use them with medicine bottles to set things into motion. Blue bottles especially cobalt work so strong because they protect your work. I have a powerful blue bottle for protection loaded with special ingredients. Because this bottle is so special to me I keep it in my Black Hawk pot to protect me and my loved ones. Through God, my powerful Ancestors, and Black Hawk no one will ever undo that bottle. I keep it constantly refreshed and working with other tricks to back up my work.

I was always taught to keep a blue bottle behind the front and back door of the home. This makes sense because like a two headed doctor the blue bottle works for more than one thing. It gets the job done for the rootworker like a double edged sword.

Okay for starters I'll give a simple bottle work for protection. To protect yourself and your loved ones tear Isaiah 41 out the bible and write your names on it. Place the bible verse into a blue bottle with a small cross, some salt, a few drops of holy water, a little sugar, and some devil's shoestring twigs bound in red string to hold the devil down.

Pray over your conjure bottle, work all your faith into it, and leave it by the doors so it can do its job. I hope you enjoy this little work. Drlovebug

St. John's Eve

I went to NOLA for St. John's Eve. Below are some of the picture's I took. This was the very first time I had been there for St. John's Eve. Bloody Mary is in the boat celebrating as Marie Laveau did in days gone by. Sally Ann Glassman is on the bridge preforming her ceremony. I don’t know much about Voodoo so I really didn’t understand what was going on, but it was nice. Momma Starr

Request for your prayers...

The picture above is Koteh, this wonderful animal shares his life with Susan Diamond and Wulfie. Yes I snatched the picture but I don't think Sus or Wulfie will mind. Koteh is very ill and he needs a lot of prayers right now. It's hard not to fall in love with him. Here's the link and all the information. http://metaspherics.com/koteh/koteh.html

Hit Em Hard! Nail Em Down!

I shared this wonderful spike on my face book but I have never shared it here. Auntie Sindy Todo of todomojo.com made the spike for me and my wonderful husband made the copper scorpions that decorate it. This is a very powerful conjure tool and should never be used lightly. This is the kind of tool that should be used for murders, child abuse cases, elderly abuse, and of course for justice work. The combination of the iron and the copper, plus the spirit of the scorpion is very hot and heavy work. It works almost instantly. I have only on a few occasions seen work that has worked this fast. Yes it was put to work the day after I got it in the mail. Momma Starr ©

How To Make a Rattler

During a recent Blackhawk class I gave instruction on how to make a rawhide rattler for Blackhawk. You need 2 pieces of rawhide cut the size you want the head of your rattler to be. You will need to soak the rawhide in water so you can soften it up so you can punch holes in it. Once you find the stick you will use for a handle, scrap all the bark off of it and get it ready while your rawhide is soaking.  Once the rawhide is soft make the holes about a half an inch apart. You can use an ice pick to do this. Once you have your holes made place the wet rawhide on your handle make sure that at least an inch of the handle is inside the rattler head. Sew the two sides together, then take a little strip of the wet rawhide and wrap it around the base of the rattler head. Don’t forget to add some rocks so you will have a loaded rattler. Once you have it put together let it dry. Once it is dried you can decorate it any way you want to. Mine is decorated black and white to represent light and dark. Happy crafting! Momma Starr ©

Making a feather Fan

During a recent Blackhawk class I tried to explain how to make a feather fan using a wooden handle instead of just binding the feathers together. If you are not crafty enough to draw the handle out you can use a fly flap for a pattern. You trace the pattern onto your wood, then you can use the gig saw to cut it out. It depends on what type of wood you use as to how much sanding will have to be done once it is cut out. After you get the handle sanded smooth take a drill with a bit the size of the quill of the feather you will be using. Drill 5 holes in the end of your handle. Use glue to hold the feathers in the hole. Momma Starr © 

Stealing My Books

Spell's Oh My

First off I want to say that I am not hitting at Witchcraft, some of my students are Witches and Pagans. Orion Foxwood whom I love dearly is a Witch; he is also a Conjure worker who knows the difference between the two. When he does Conjure work that is what he does, he doesn’t mix it up. Just saying.

Now that is cleared up on to my point. CONJURE WORKERS DO NOT CAST SPELLS PERIOD! I am tired of folks e-mailing me asking me to do spell work for them. I’m a Christian I don’t cast spells, I work with my Bible to achieve my goal! I always send them somewhere else if they are looking for Spell work. Folks don’t know the difference between conjure work and spell work because the 2 have been intermingled all over the internet. If you ask a home grown conjure if they are the same you would get the same answer No they are not. Here’s an example.

Sorry Orion darling for using you as an example but you know I love ya kido! The first time I met Orion he claimed to be a Conjure worker. I thought ok let’s see. So I asked him about it and he told me something like this. {When I do Conjure work I work with the God of the Bible; you don’t mix it up}. How did he know that he’s a Witch remember; because he was raised around conjure work that’s how. He knows that they are two different things. He teaches Witchcraft but he also teaches Conjure he doesn’t inter-mingle them he teaches them with honor and respect the way it should be done.

What I am saying is if you are going to do Conjure work or claim to do Conjure work then don’t water it down with other Traditions; those Traditions hold their own power and ways of doing things. It is not fair to any Tradition when folk hack it up, it’s not fast food where you can have it your way! Momma Starr

To Shake or Not to Shake

I got an e-mail asking me to explain the difference in letting your jar work sit or shaking it up. There seems to be some confusion or misunderstanding about shaking up your work. In the end it doesn’t matter who says what it is up to the worker to do what they think is best. People complain to me all the time about their honey jars that don’t work; and I always say the same thing “maybe they ain’t working cause you are just letting them sit there”. Burning a candle on a jar without any movement is a waste of a good candle.

Here’s an example that every good cook knows. If you are cooking beans and you don’t stir them they will STICK to the bottom of the pot and burn. So if you are doing this honey jar (which the honey will crystalize in sooner or later that is why syrup works best}; you put it together then you sit it on a space and leave it there the only thing that is gonna happen for a long time is all the ingredients will go to the bottom of the jar and do NOTHING. I’m not saying that it is wrong to work this way, I don’t have the right to say someone is doing THEIR work wrong; I’m just saying that without movement nothing will happen.

When you shake the jar up you are causing the work to shift, to move around. That along with your prayer and petition will get the jar moving. Don’t take my word for it; try it! BTW I can’t stand messy ass folks! Just saying.  Momma Starr

Conjure Come To Me! To Draw Your Love

Below are some verses from Song of Solomon. These verses can be prayed for any type of love drawing. I would use a syrup jar or medicine bottle. Make sure you shake them up, although some on-line Hoodoo’s will say that you should just leave them sitting there. Sure you can if you want the work to be slow as molasses. By shaking the jar and praying your petition you are stirring things up and getting them moving. Letting the jar or bottle sit there’s doing nothing but letting the work sit and settle. In the end it is really up to the worker to decide which way to go. Momma Starr

8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, Gazing through the lattice.

10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

11 For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

14  “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”

The Power of Salt

Salt is wonderful for all kinds of conditions. You can use it in cleansing, uncrossing, luck, prosperity, you name it. Salt can keep troubles out your door or send someone's mess thrown your way right back at them.

Salt can be used in any kind of work so from a worker's perspective it is an all purpose ingredient.

I have found through personal experience that different types of salt work stronger for me. For example I think the BEST salt to use in cleansing work especially if you are doing spiritual baths is kosher salt. This stuff is phenomenal. If you are doing a cut and clear go kosher.

I don't know why kosher salt works so well but everytime I've ever used it the results have been strong. I've also had similar experience with pink himalayan and rock salt.

A simple work you can do to protect your home is to place a cross of devil's shoestrings tied with red string in a bowl of salt. Pray over your bowl then place it over or near your front door.

You can also sprinkle salt over which you've prayed Psalm 23 at your front door. This will keep troubles from coming in your house.

To protect someone you love sprinkle a ring of salt around their picture. Place a cross on the photo and petition Jesus to cover your loved one with his most powerful protection.

If you want to protect your house from getting crossed up lay small piles of salt in all the corners of your home. Place a blessed bay leaf and a block of camphor on top of the pile.

There's so many tricks you can do with salt. It doesn't matter what salt you got.
Oh and one more thing. My momma always said never run out of salt or your luck will run out the door. She also said anytime you move into a new home always bring new salt.

God Bless Y'all...Drlovebug
