Another Day And Another Democratic Voodoo Outrage

As the epidemic of voodoo and witchcraft threatens to engulf our nation the Obama campaign has yet to to respond. Why is the Obama campaign remaining silent on the issue of witchcraft in America? What are we to infer from his guilty silence?

Obama has no strategy to deal with witchcraft, indeed if Obama does get elected anybody could become the victim of a voodoo attack – what will Obama do to curb rampant witchcraft and voodoo on the streets of America? In an Obama presidency, almost anybody could fall victim to a voodoo curse – people like Woody Thompson, a patriotic Republican whose only crime was to run for public office:

Cobb County GA, Democratic Commissioner Annette Kesting today repeatedly denied accusations from a South Carolina “voodoo priestess” that Kesting wrote $3,000 in bad checks for the woman’s services.

George Ann Mills said Kesting approached her at home in Blythewood, S.C., in late August seeking otherworldly help against Republican Woody Thompson, who beat Kesting in the primary runoff vote for the District 4 seat representing southwest Cobb.

Unlike Obama, John McCain and Sarah Palin, by contrast have promised to make witch-hunting a priority – it’s the number three issue after fighting the war on terror and ending abortion. If elected Senator McCain will appoint Governor Palin to be chief witch-finder. She will organize the biggest ever witch-hunt in Washington to purge our Capitol of voodo-priests and fake Christians such as Barrack Hussein Obama.

Fact File: It’s not racist to point out that Negros may be practicing voodoo and witchcraft in your community today. If you see an African American speaking quietly to himself he could be casting a voodoo curse on you or you or your kids. What have the Democrats in Congress done to protect us from this threat: Absolutely nothing.

America once had a proud tradition of witch-hunting – but the liberal elite have conspired to end this traditional practice. As a result our witch-hunting expertise has been lost. The liberals want us to think that it’s OK to be a witch and cast curses. To them witchcraft is just another “lifestyle” to be celebrated in their orgy of multiculturalism.

This is probably what Barrack Hussein Obama looks like when he wears the ceremonial costume of a voodoo priest.

We at STR feel that it is a national embarrassment that in order to control the epidemic of witchcraft we may have to import experts from other nations, particularly Africa where Sarah Palin’s Pastor Muthee has been waging a one-man war against the godlessness of his fellow Negroes. While we dislike the idea of even more immigration, it is plan to see that the Demoncrats have left an entire nation vulnerable to the curses of witches.

A Brief History Of Voodoo

Vodun is sometimes called Voodoo, Vodoun, or Vodou. Religions related to Vodun are: Candomble, Lucumi, Macumba, and Yoruba). New Orleans Voodoo is a conglomeration of cultural and spiritual belief systems strongly influenced by the ancient Voodoo religion of Africa, the Vodou religion of Haiti, the healing arts of Native American people, the folk magic of Europe, and Catholicism. Voodoo is culture, heritage, philosophy, art, dance, language, medicine, music, justice, power, storytelling & ritual. Voodoo is a way of looking at and dealing with life. It heals and destroys, is both good and bad, and is simple in concept and complex in practice. Voodoo reflects the duality of the nature of the rattlesnake; its poison is toxic but its poison is needed to heal the same toxin. Voodoo is open to all yet holds many secrets & mysteries to those who are uninitiated.

Voodoo has its roots in the trauma of many people. It originated from the African ancestors who were brought to the Caribbean in bondage. Christopher Columbus set the stage in 1492 for the development of Voodoo when countless Tainos were murdered in an attempt to enslave them during the colonization of Hispaniola. With a lack of indigenous people to function as slaves, and the cost of European servants prohibitive, the slave trade between West and Central Africa began (Long, 2000).

In 1697 the French acquired one third of Hispaniola and worked the slaves literally to death. The average survival rate of slaves at that time was only about 10 years. This made the slave population ripe for continual replenishment, and the slave population grew from several thousand to half a million. The slave population was extremely diverse with many different tribes representing many religions, languages, and belief systems. It is during this time of the French occupation that the basic structure of Voodoo as we know it today developed.

The colonizers believed that by separating families and individual nations, the slave population would not unite as one people. On the contrary, the Africans found commonalities in their belief systems and religions and began invoking their own spirits and practicing each other’s religious rites. In addition, the surviving Taino Indians exerted some influence over the practice of Voodoo, especially in the area of the healing arts. As well, the indentured servants of Europe brought their folk magic, which was incorporated into the Voodoo religion. The Roman Catholic Church, ever finding ways to convert people to the church, and the entity to which the French answered, insisted on treating the slaves better and had them baptized and instructed in the practice of Catholicism (Hanger, 1997). The slave population soon began to mask their rituals and beliefs in Catholicism. It is the conglomeration and syncretism of these diverse cultural belief systems that comprised the first Creole religion and makes Voodoo what it is today.

To make a very long story short, the slaves eventually rebelled and drove out the French and the Catholic Church. Years of oppression and persecution followed, with the Voodoo considered Satanism by the Catholic church and evangelical Protestants. This caused Voodoo to go underground and flourish. The Catholic church eventually made peace with the Voodoo and it is now accepted as an established religion.

The Book Of Shadows The Unofficial Charmed Companion

Book: The Book Of Shadows The Unofficial Charmed Companion by Ngaire Genge

The ultimate guide to the hit program Charmed, this is both a book of spells and a key to the mysteries of the show. The book of shadows celebrates the best of Charmed, from its roots in the ancient tradition of Wicca to insider information on the show's stars. N.E. Genge not only provides fascinating background details for the show's Wiccan elements, but also guides readers in performing their own magic. Fans with a witchy bent will learn about the tools of magic and divination and the casting of spells. Recipes and rituals -- from those that beckon love or bless a new business venture to those that bequeath strength or bestow fortune -- are all included. The book of shadows is a sassy celebration of witches, sisterhood, and magic.

This book has not been prepared, approved, licensed, endorsed, or in any way authorized by any entity that created or produced Charmed. Charmed is a fun show and remarkably unobjectionable to wiccans and other followers of alternative spiritual paths. The secret seems to be that no matter how much nonsense there is in it, it is true to the spirit and never harms. This book does a great job of distinguishing authentic traditions from the TV made-up stuff, and can introduce a novice (who might think "witchcraft" and "magic" look pretty cool, from watching the show, and wants an easy how-to guide) to the true traditions underlying the show - without giving too much away, either. After all, if you want real magic, you have to do it yourself, every step of the way, and you can't get that from a book; but the book is surprisingly good at conveying that concept. At the same time, for those who just want to know more about the show, this isn't an authorized book, but it has enough details from the show in it to satisfy most fans. Good job! If you just watch the show for the heck of it. this will enlighten you to the reality of wicca, which is something i wish i could do more, either way, wiccan or not, there is stuff about charmed all the way through, and you'll learn a lot about the most controversial part of the fastest growing religion in america also, magick. Definetly reccomended.

A Pagan Witches Touchstone Witchcraft And Witch Hunts In South Africa

Book: A Pagan Witches Touchstone Witchcraft And Witch Hunts In South Africa by Damon Leff

A Pagan Witches Touchstone is an important publication for a number of reasons. Certainly one of the most important is that for the first time, self-defining Pagan Witches bring into open debate their own perspectives and experiences that result from the negative consequences brought about by the dominant construction of the ‘witch’ as a practitioner of evil. These constructions mostly emerge in African religious traditions wherein witchcraft is understood as an explanatory cause behind personal and community misfortune, illness, and untimely death; and within many Christian traditions that have historically associated the practice of magic, occult traditions, and alternative conceptions of the divine, with a form of diabolic heresy. In this worldview, a person who engages in some, or all, of these practices, can be labeled 'a witch.'

The authors of TouchStone raise these issues in an undoubtedly subjective and impassioned fashion. As Pagan Witches they, and others in their community, have been negatively stereotyped and are also subject to the criminalization of their beliefs and practices under any form of witchcraft legislation. They are vehemently committed to participating in dialogue and finding a role in attempts to seek a solution to the injustices incurred through witchcraft accusations and violence.

Perhaps something has come up in a hurry, and you feel it needs immediate magical attention. Use a piece of aluminum foil to whip together a quickie poppet -- shape it into the figure of a person. Fill with any magical components that might be handy -- bits of wood, dirt, grass, even a name scribbled on a piece of paper -- and personalize the poppet.

New Orleans Voodoo Lucky Penny Stew

For Mardi Gras, I thought it might be fun to post this recipe for Voodoo Stew from Samantha Kaye's Cajun Voodoo Love Cookin' which is available exclusively through spellmaker.com.

PURPOSE: Bring luck and money into your life!

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 quart boiling water
* 1 cup beef stew meat
* 4 cups cut up cabbage
* 1 large white onion, chopped
* 2 large tomatoes,
* 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and torn into small pieces
* 1/2 cup raisins
* 1/4 cup garlic powder
* 1/4 cup onion powder
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 bay leaf
* 1/2 cup dark red wine

SPIRITUAL GIFTS:

1 white candle 1 green candle 1 white egg upon a small saucer 1 glass of white milk 38 very shiny pennies (polish them yourself and thereafter do not handle them with your fingers, but rather with a clean soft cloth) 1/2 cup of water 2 white paper bowls

BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR COOKING:

1. Line up your candles one before the other (in a vertical line) anywhere in the kitchen. Put the white one in back, and the green one in front, about 6 inches apart. Put the egg and milk between them. Surround the whole setup with 36 of the shiny pennies. (The egg, milk and candles are to remain in place overnight.)

2. Go to any corner of the kitchen with the 1/2-cup of water. Sprinkle some water from your fingertips in the corner three times.

3. Go to the candles. Stamp the floor three times. Light the white candle in back and say:

"Hey, Legba" the gate and let my words carry to the other side."

Pause a moment. Light the green candle in front, clap your hands three times and say:

"A"ida, A"ida, A"ida Ou'edo" am poor and unlucky" of the heavens, bringer of clouds, " of wealth, listen to me" want good fortune and an abundance of money"ida, I ask this of you" me in providing for my family, myself, " others that may be in need" me into your rainbow of fortune" me down to a land of abundance" me with the riches" your raindrops of success and good-luck " happiness about me" this for me."

4. Begin your food preparation with your desire for having good luck and financial means in mind. Keep this desire in mind and honor A"ida during the making of the stew either repeating over and over "I will never be hungry again," or singing Pennies from Heaven.

START COOKING:

Add all ingredients except the meat, cabbage, spinach, and raisins to the pot of boiling water and reduce to a simmer. Add in the meat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add in the rest of the ingredients and cook for 40 minutes at a low simmer.

Turn off flame and add 1/2 cup red wine to pot and stir. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve with black-eyed peas to insure prosperity.

AFTER COOKING:

1. Put out the front green candle and say:

"Thank you, A"ida, " hearing my cry and making my desire come true" it pleases you, you may now depart."

Pause a moment. Put out the rear white candle and say:

"Thank you, Papa Alegba" it pleases you, you may close the gate."

2. Spoon out a little of the stew into each of the paper bowls. There are two shiny pennies left. Drop one into each paper bowl of stew.

BEFORE YOU EAT (IF NOT POSSIBLE, THEN AFTERWARDS):

* Take the paper bowls outside and go to the base of a tree, telephone pole, lamppost or fence post.
* Stamp the ground three times with your foot.
* Put down one stew and say: "Papa Alegba, this is for you."
* Put down the other bowl of stew and say: "Blessings and thanks to you, Queen A"ida."
* Turn your back and walk away, leaving them there overnight.

THE NEXT DAY:

1. Bury the pennies there at the tree or post. If the stew is still there, pour the stew into the hole where you bury the pennies. Throw away the paper bowls.

2. Take the egg and milk and candles out to a street corner and place them there. Do not be noticed doing so, and leave quickly.

Making Poppets

Poppets can be be fashioned from all kinds of materials, such as: carved roots, grasses, grain stalks, corn husks, fruit, wood, paper, mud, wax, clay, metal or lead, all formed into a human shape. These can then be dressed in simply made clothes and stuffed with a variety herbs, stones and other magical items needed to effect the purpose of the spell or work. Ideally personal items associated with the person the poppet is intended for, should be included in its preparation i.e. it could be dressed in material taken from clothing once worn by the person, a sample of handwriting or a photograph, personal items such as a lock of hair or nail clippings, and even bodily fluids such as blood, semen or saliva. The important thing is to create a link between the poppet and the intended recipient of the spell or work.

Poppets can be as simple or as elaborate as you like, but as they are generally made to represent another person, care should be taken to learn all you can about them, before you determine the need and purpose of your intent. Do you need to curse, heal, harm or bind? While the possibilities are endless, just like in any spell work, you'll need to set a goal and the means of achieving it. Some believed that the more work you put into preparing your spell, or the more complex it is, the stronger and more potent your focus and intent will be.

Like any ritual tool, once made, the poppet needs to be consecrated, named and dedicated to the work in hand, then infused with personal energy to bring into force your intentions. Sometimes this is be done by breathing life into the poppets mouth through a straw. In this way the poppet takes on a magical life of its own, which activates the spell or working.

Depending on the type of spell being worked, be it to curse, heal, harm or bind, various actions are performed on the poppet to cause a similar effect on the recipient. It can be pierced with pins, nails or other sharp objects to cause pain, cooled with water or heated with fire to cure a fever, or bound with cords to restrict movement. Once the spell or work is done, or success has been achieved, the poppet needs to be dismantled and ingredients used disposed of in an appropriate way, making sure that any link between it and what it represented is completely destroyed.
