Healing Power of God

Exodus 15 V 26

²⁶ and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

God is a powerful healer whose Spirit cleanses, heals, and uplifts us. Because the Spirit of God is in the Word (Bible) you can work with your Bible to heal illnesses and crossed conditions. The first thing you have to do before you even start healing work is believe that you are already healed. This is the first step. Your faith in the healing process makes the work successful.

No matter how bad the situation is or overwhelming the blocks your faith is what matters. Most of the time the biggest block to healing is us. We stand in the way of our own healing because of fears, worry, doubt, and inner turmoil. As humans we hold on to stuff that needs to be let go. Stop thinking about the past and let that mess go so you can move forward. It’s old mess from the past like unforgivingness, hate, resentment, and grudges that creates stress, depression, disease, and all kinds of negative conditions that plague us today. Let it go so you can be productive in life.

That’s why I included Exodus 15 V 26 because it does two things: (1) you are petitioning God to lead you in the path that’s right for you, and (2) claiming God’s healing as yours. By working the bible verse you are asking God to show you what you cannot see and uplift you where you need uplifting. That’s the best way I can explain it.

To do this healing work, find you a white candle. Tear out Exodus 15 V 26. Write your full name and the condition on the bible verse. Burn the verse to ash and sprinkle the ash on the white candle going away from you. Hold the white candle and a photo of yourself in your hands and ask God to fill you with healing power. Speak out loud from your heart about the situation and why you need healing. God hears all prayer but stating your petition out loud will help you build power in yourself and the work so it is a total success.

Dress your head with olive oil in a cross shape. Light the white candle on top of your photo and state the bible verse with your petition at least three times in the name of the Holy Trinity. If you have personal prayers you can also work with those.

Everyday state your petition with bible verse three times over the candle. Do this work when the hands of the clock are going down to remove the negative condition…Drlovebug

Blue Candles for Money

Most people learning hoodoo on the Internet know for prosperity work to use green candles because they symbolize growth. I learned to work this way and it's great but I also learned about blue candles which you don't hear much about on the Internet.

Blue is one of the strongest colors you can use to draw money because when you fix a blue candle for money work it will remove blocks over your finances. You can work with a blue candle or a blue Money House Blessing vigil. It has a Native American warrior on it.

When I petition Black Hawk to remove money blocks I burn the House Blessing vigil inside his pot with my petition, bible verse, and herbs loaded into the vigil. Every time I work with him this way I see an increase in my blessings. Black Hawk will not draw money to you but he'll protect your money. He's also a fighter so when I offer him a blue vigil he uses it to bust up all blocks holding my money in a bind.

Some workers will tell you that you can't work with blue or purple candles to attract money to you but I disagree. Here's why. Blue cleanses your money. Purple gives you power over your finances. If you want to be on top of your finances you have to protect what you got and control your money. Blue and purple candles will help you do just that.

To draw money to you get a blue, white, and purple candle. Ask Spirit to remove blocks over your money with the blue candle, to answer your prayer with the white candle, and to help you control your finances with the purple candle. Write your personal petition in the wax of the white candle and load it. Load the other candles with your petitions and herbs.

Light the candles in a straight line with the blue on one side, the purple on another, and the white candle in the middle. This will help you with your money. Drlovebug

The Holy Family & Your Ancestors for Peaceful Home

The Holy Family can be petitioned for any need you have but I'll talk about how to work with them to protect the family right along with your ancestors. I want to mention here that Family (yes with a capital F) is really important to me! I say this because Family is all that you have in the world.

Your foundation begins with the family. Your roots come from your ancestors. This is why it's really important to honor and work with your ancestors. Some workers will tell you that you aren't supposed to work with your dead and that it's only acceptable to honor them but I'll tell you that's a bunch of hogwash. I'm not going to rehash this argument here but I'm making a point.

Because your ancestors are the roots of your tree you have to honor them because you come from them. When you pay respects to your dead you are honoring your roots and your heritage. This is important for everyone especially people of Colour. Regardless of your ethnic background honor your dead people and show them some love because they deserve it. By paying due respect to your ancestors you are honoring your family which leads me to my next point about protecting the family.

Nobody's family is perfect. There'll always be ups and downs but some situations that happen in families are completely uncalled for. That's where conjure work comes in. I'm a big believer in working on the family to make sure everything runs smooth. I will do everything it takes to protect my family because they are an extension of my well-being. I'm sure most of y'all feel the same way.

I used to hesitate a lot when it came to locking down the bs in my family through conjure work. I felt sorry for them because I didn't want to go 'to that level' so to speak. I figured things would work out and I decided to remain in the corner. That's until I had it. Sometimes as a part of protecting your family you have to make a step forward and put your foot down where it won't move.

The most powerful way you can work Conjure to bring peace in the family is by petitioning your ancestors. You don't even have to light a candle or throw together a bunch of roots and herbs. Just a simple call to your Ancestors to get their attention and a strong petition so they can simmer the mess down. I do this when I need an extra hand to manage my kinfolks.

For those of y'all that need something to work with tear out Isaiah 26 V 3 from your bible. Write "PEACE BE STILL" or a similar petition on the Bible verse. Burn the bible verse to ash and load a white vigil candle with the ash. Don't add any names or personal effects to this candle. Light the vigil on your ancestor altar and state the verse out loud with your petition. You'll notice a difference immediately when you petition your ancestors esp in family matters. Here's the verse for your pleasure:

Isaiah 26:3

 

³ You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.

This is really simple and effective. As a part of protecting the family and keeping peace in the home you can also petition the Holy Family. Jesus, Mary, & Joseph make the Holy Family. They are God's example of how a family should love and treat one another. You can petition them to be a model for your loved ones so your home will always be a happy one. Not only will the Holy Family keep a peaceful home but they will also bring prosperity to the home and help you count your blessings.

To petition the Holy Family find a picture that you can work with. If you have the nativity scene with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in the manger that's perfect for this work! A lot of folks have this in their home as part of Christmas decorations so check your pantry. Hold the picture to your mouth and say your prayers. Ask the Holy Family to protect your loved ones and bring prosperity in the home.

Write your petition and any special prayers for the family on a picture of you and your loved ones. Burn the photo to ash and load the ash into a blue vigil candle. You don't have to use vigils. I like them for different reasons. Dress your candle with olive oil, a power root, and a peaceful herb. To top of your work sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the vigil candle.

Place the Holy Family picture in the living room or kitchen and burn the blue vigil on top of it. You can also prop the photo on the hearth as a decorative piece and burn the vigil next to it. When you start working with the Holy Family you will feel it immediately.

I wish y'all much prosperity, success, and peace in the Home with conjure work. Protect what is yours and lock it down...Drlovebug

Holy Trinity Power Candle

This is a special kind of candle because you are directly addressing God Almighty in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Ghost regardless of your spiritual beliefs. No matter what religion you profess we're all God's children and deserving of his/her Grace. This power candle will light the way in the storms of darkness and confusion surrounding your life.

Do you feel crossed up or blocked? Does your spirit feel like it has been pinned under a rock? Are you facing insurmountable odds that have knocked your spirit down where you can't get back up? If that is the case then Momma Starr's Holy Trinity candle along with your faith in God will help you tear those walls down.

This special candle is hand painted and prayed over by Momma Starr. It comes with a bottle of Starr's blessing oil so you can dress yourself while praying with the power candle to claim God's blessings promised to all of us. What makes it so strong is that it's prayed over with the power of God from start to finish. It also works double duty as a conjure jar that can be loaded with your special prayers and ingredients after the candle burns out.

Remember there are no limits except the ones we place on ourselves. With Momma Starr's Holy Trinity candle your spirit will soar to new heights in God's POWER & GLORY...Drlovebug

How To Make A Lucky Hand

I thought I would share with you all how to make a lucky hand. Now I make these two ways either in a bag or in a packet. To me the packet is easier to carry. I use only red flannel for my lucky hands. If you want to color code them you can red for love, green for money, ect. We will make one for Money.

Now in the old days they would add a silver dime to these hands; but silver dimes are hard to come by now days so a regular dime will work just as good.

Trust me, I'm carrying this lucky hand and it works. Here's the instructions
Money Drawing Lucky Hand
Things Needed:
A small piece of red flannel
A dime
small piece of brown paper bag (torn NOT CUT WITH SISSORS)
Money drawing oil
3 beans
3 grains of rice
A Magnet
sm piece of Blue Flag
Pinch of Calamus
Personal items (hair, nail clippings, ect)
Lay out all your stuff and stay focused on your intent. Now write your name on the paper 9 times; once this is done write your desire on top of your name 9 times. Once the paper is ready fold it TOWARDS you, then turn it clockwise and fold it towards you again. Do this until you can't fold the paper any more.

Set the name paper in the center of the flannel; next add your personal items.Then the magnet, next the dime, then the other items.
Fold it up into a small packet and sew it closed with red thread. On the last stitch make 9 knots; on each knot as you pull it tight say MONEY. Now feed it money
drawing oil, while you are doing this talk to the packet and tell it what you need.Do this for 9 days.Then after the 9 days feed it once a week while talking to it. The best day to make and feed the packet is on a Thursday. Carry it with your money and DON'T ever let anyone else touch it.
Happy Crafting, Momma Starr

Prayer to Stop Slander/Shut Up

There are times when folks just want stay out of our space. They don't know how to mind their own business and keep their mouth's shut! If you find yourself in a spot like that then get a red candle, write the targets name in the wax. Pray the prayer below every hour on the hour until the candle burns out.



Prayer to Stop Slander/Shut Up

We need Thee, O Lord, to curb vicious tongues from making cruel judgments, vile criticisms, and untruthful statements. Dear Almighty God, silence our enemies. Keep them from speaking barbed words that cut into our hearts and souls. Make their unkind words fall upon deaf ears and shield us from their wickedness and evil. O Lord, make us sweet inside that we may be gentle with others, gentle in what we say, and gentle in what we do. In Thine own strong name we do pray. Amen

Conjure Balls

Conjure balls are these funny little balls that can be made with wax, clay {like the one in the picture} or mud from a crawdad mound. Sometimes the little balls are not so funny after all; like the one you see in the photo's. Conjure balls can be made to draw prosperity, to draw love, for domination work and like the one in the picture the can be used to knock the hell out of someone.

There are times when folks go to far and need to sit the hell down. The ball in the photo is the type of ball I was taught to do just that. I want tell you how to make the ball in the picture because it is dangerous work and you could cross yourself up; but I want to explain the concept as it was explained to me many years ago.

The conjure ball really represents the head of the target. The crown of our head is very important. The work above was done for a client who had to be protected. The targets personal items are placed in the conjure ball along with a verse from the Bible, it is all burned to ash. All of this is mixed with the clay to make the targets head. Of course while the ball is being made you are very focused on the target and you are praying the whole time.

If you notice in the photo there are {4} square head pins in the ball nailing the person down. Right there in the center of the cross set up is a wonderful black candle, bringing justice and protetion. Remember a photo speaks a thousand words and when a seed is planted a strong tree will grow!

Momma Starr

To Stop an Enemy

If you feel someone is burning candles against you; then you need to get a red stick candle and {3} nails. Using a hammer, nail the {3} nails into the candle; on each nail say” I wish my enemy would go away and leave me alone! Make them leave me alone in the name of the Trinity”.

Set the stick candle on a white plate. Mix a pinch of gun powered with some sugar and sprinkle it around the candle. Some ole folks say you can place burnt salt around the candle. They say the burnt salt will drive them away and take away their luck.

Burn your candle for {10} minutes; when the hand of the clock is going downward on Mondays, while praying your petition. Blow the candle out when you are done. You are blowing your enemy away from you. Once the candle is finished take it through as many crossroads as you can and leave at the one farthest from your home.

Mama's Hoodoo, Rootwork, Conjure

My family comes from South Carolina; I never heard the word Hoodoo until I got on the internet. The only reason I am using it now is because it gets your website into the search engines. I'm a traditional Conjure worker plain and simple. Traditional conjure workers don't usually work with the saints. I didn't know anything about the Catholic church until we moved out of South Carolina. I became a Catholic after I left home much to my mama's dismay. I was raised a Chirstian. I know Catholic's are Christians too but my family didn't look at them as such because of the saints and the whole ritual in mass. When I became a Catholic my mama went so far as to tell me I was going to burn in hell.

 I'm telling you this so you get the idea. Traditional Old Style Conjureworkers don't work with the saints. That is NOLA style Hoodoo which is different. I work with the saints but I work with them the same way I do the Holy Trinity. I was raised with the laying on of hands to heal. I pray the same way I was taught as a child in Bible school. I work with my Bible just like I was taught. There is a difference in what folks on the internet call Hoodoo and the REAL Traditional Style Conjure. It doesn't matter how you color it most internet workers are not Traditional workers. I don't mean to insult anyone I am just stating the facts the way they are.

 My mama worked with oil lamps, I never saw her light a candle. For a long time I only burnt white or black stick candles, what most call taper candles. My mama used either olive oil, sweet oil or lard to rub on us as children. She used sulfar, ash and other things to dress our heads and feet with. I didn't grow up with all the Hoodoo products that are out there today. I make them and I use my own products but that is not what I was raised on. Folks from the south know the difference between a Traditional worker and one who has learned else where. I hear it all the time. So those who claim to be traditional workers and aren't; well they are not fooling folks from the South. Like me these folks grew up with conjure and know the difference.

 You have to understand it is a mind set. It's in the blood, it's in the words we use when we are speaking about the work. We don't preform spells and rituals, we do a job. We work with the Bible and the Trinity. We know to cover our work with the blood of Jesus. We know that an ancestor altar doesn't have a bunch of glasses on it. It has photo's of our loved ones who have passed and a Bible. If you are going to claim it then you really need to learn to "walk the walk and talk the talk". Like I said I don't mean to insult anyone but I personally am sick of all these so called Hoodoo's. Every bodies teacher is dead, or they can't disclose the information. Give me a break please.

You are more than welcome to comment on this blog. Peace Starr

Book Review: Old Style Conjure Candle Burning by Starr = TOTAL SCAM!

I have the permission from the Author to post this here; enjoy.

Book Review: Old Style Conjure Candle Burning by Starr = TOTAL SCAM!

The book, Old Style Conjure Candle Burning by Starr is a total scam!

If you purchase this book you are almost stealing a life-time of tricks from an authentic, traditional conjure woman. If you purchase this book you will be ripping Momma Starr off!

This is not a tired rehash of material that is easily found online. This is the real deal, folks! You purchase this book and you will read the book and you will know you are dealing with real power! You will not find the information in this book anywhere else.

Momma Starr writes as she talks and teaches. It's very down-to-earth and actually comforting. For the older workers out there I'm sure reading this book will remind you of your kin, of how momma or grandma use to do things. For the new workers, prepare to have your mind blown because I can assure you that reading Starr's books and listening to her Old Style Conjure blogtalk radio show will be the closest thing to real, authentic hoodoo/rootwork/conjure that you will ever get save for getting out in the community and talking to folks.

Now, I will be honest. After reading the book I sent an email to Momma Starr telling her I thought she was giving away far too much information. I actually got that sinking feeling in your stomach you get when you feel guilty. I felt guilty for simply reading the book! It's just filled with way too many old-school worker secrets. I'm sure many of the old-school workers who may read Starr's book will think she's crazy for giving away this much information. That's why I'm going to call anyone who purchases Momma Starr's book a thief.

If you purchase this book you will learn more about real, traditional hoodoo/rootwork/conjure than anything you may find online. That's a fact!

As far as the Candle Burning book goes, it is a 180 page, spiral-bound book that contains colored pictures. The material inside covers old-school worker candle burning tricks that many people will never even dream possible. This is not the sort of thing new workers are just going to accidentally discover for themselves. These are things they must be taught. Not only did I learn a great deal from reading this book but Momma Starr has also unknowingly answered several of my questions concerning things I was taught by old-school workers. I won't go into detail here but I was taught not to burn pastel-colored candles. Momma Starr never mentions the word pastel in the book but does explain why they aren't worked with.

So don't you purchase this book! This book is dangerous! It has far too many old-school conjure worker secrets. Anyone who purchases this book and puts the information to use will be a force to reckon with; therefore stay away from it. Stay away from Momma Starr's books, her website, and her Old Style Conjure show at blogtalk radio. Don't you allow yourself to be exposed to the real deal. We can't have all these people running around having this knowledge!

So, if you have it in your head that you must purchase Momma Starr's book, then all I can say is, For shame! You are practically robbing cherished secrets from an old-school worker!

You can rob from Momma Starr, i.e. purchase the book, at the following link.

Old Style Conjure Candle Burning by Starr

I strongly advise that people not listen to Momma Starr & Dr. Lovebug at their blogtalk radio show at the below link. The information given is too powerful and too dangerous.

People should block the following website entirely.

Hoodoo Conjure Rootwork Honey Jars (c) Starr

HOODOO, CONJURE, ROOTWORK, JAR CONJURE

Sweeten Em Up Honey Jars

I didn't really hear about Honey Jars until I got on the Internet. This was something new to me like using a Loadstone instead of using a magnet the way I was taught as a young worker. I was taught to use syrup and different sugars to sweeten someone. Honey has always been a bit pricey. You can get 5 or 6X's more syrup for the money than you can Honey. I was also taught if you wanted to slow someone down you did it with molasses. You don't hardly ever hear anything about this on the Internet.

I personally prefer syrup but all folks know about is honey jars. Syrup is sweeter than honey and I have found that it works better for me. Don't take my word for it make a Conjure jar and instead of honey use syrup. I think you will be pleased with the results. Here's a little recipe for you to sweeten, heal, and bring peace to your home.

Get a medicine bottle, add everyones name to the bottle that lives in the house. Add Hosea 6 V 1-2 to the bottle. Add a pinch of salt and ask for Gods blessing upon your home. Then add some syrup to the bottle. Close the lid and shake the bottle up while praying for God to answer your prayer. Burn a tea light on your bottle daily and work the bottle.

Janie's Healing Prayer

Janie's Prayer

 Hevenly Father,

 

           I call on You right now in a special way. It is through Your Power that I was created.

 Every breath I take, every morning I wake and every moment of every hour, I live under Your Power.

 

Father, I ask You now to touch me with that same power. For if You created me from nothing, You can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of Your Spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damage areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

 

Let the warmth of Your healing love pass through my body to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function.

 

And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so that I may serve You the rest of my life.

 

I ask this in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen

Vigil Cleansing

Vigil Cleansing(c) Starr

        I learned how to cleanse with a vigil when I was in my teens. This is one of my favorite ways to do a spiritual cleansing. I do this type of cleansing for all reversal, healing, cleansing and uncrossing work. It is my opinion that the vigil cleansing works stronger than a spiritual bath. You don’t have to take my word for it just try; this type of cleansing for yourself. Wax draws and holds what is prayed into it. It will also pull off whatever is on you and burn it away as the vigil burns. You can always tell a new worker from an old one because the old worker knows about this work and the new ones don’t have a clue about it. I have talked about a lot of old works in this book because I don’t want them to be lost.

           The first thing you need to do is pray your prayer into the wax. Don’t dress or feed this type of vigil. Let what the vigil removes off of you feed it. To cleanse yourself with a vigil; turn the vigil long ways then start at the crown of your head and you wipe yourself going downward, remember to get those feet from heel to toe. The best way to do this is without clothes on. Make sure you focus really well on your head and the back of your shoulder blades. Once you are through cleansing yourself with the vigil pray your prayer into the vigil again. Light the vigil and let it burn out.

         Any kind of vigil will work for this work, but I like to use reversals and run devil run vigil or just a plain black or white vigil. If you are having trouble in love you can use a red and black vigil to reverse the situation. Write their name five times on the vigil then turn the vigil and write your name nine times over theirs. By writing their name five times you are setting them inside the cross. Take the vigil crossways and wipe yourself off from head to toe. This will reverse the problems you are having. It will remove any blocks that are in the way of your relationship, you will be reversing the situation. If you don’t have a red and black vigil then just use a white one in the same way. When I do this kind of vigil I don’t dress the vigil, or feed it as I call it. I let whatever is removed feed the vigil. Once you cleanse yourself off with the vigil then speak your prayer into the wax and light the vigil.

         If I am doing a black and green reversal to reverse my money situation or a black and white one for uncrossing I work the vigil a little differently. Again I don’t feed or dress this type of vigil; I want the vigil to feed on what is blocking me. I don’t do anything other than pray my prayer into the vigil. I ask God to remove all blocks out of my way and to reverse my situation. Then I cleanse myself with the vigil from head to toe.  I make at least three or four passes over my body. Once this is done I pray my prayer into the vigil again then I light the vigil. Most of the times within a day or two you start seeing a difference in your situation. If you can’t find the colored vigils then just use a plain white vigil. White vigils hold a power within themselves.
