10 Dollar Oil

This is my own rendition of the traditional Cleo May Oil – specifically
geared toward the protection and proper payment of sex workers. It packs a
little more thorn to match the typical rose that is Cleo May Oil. While I am
not a sex-worker myself, I have known a few and have the utmost respect for
their line of work. Why shouldn’t I? – I practice the world’s oldest “religion”
and they the world’s oldest profession.

Ingredients

  • Licorice Root
  • Brown Sugar
  • (1) Cinnamon stick
  • (2) Vanilla Beans (whole)
  • (7) Rose petals – red, dried
  • (3) Iron Nails
  • Perfume – of your choosing, or the one you most often wear
  • Jezebel Root – optional, but highly recommended
  • Heart of a Plum – plum pit

Additional Supplies

  • Bottle – wide-mouth to accommodate the plum pit
  • Red String
  • Black String
  • Oil – 1: 4, Castor:Carrier

Recipe

To the bottle, add licorice root, Jezebel root, Heart of
Plum and brown sugar to your bottle. Gather your cinnamon stick and vanilla
pods and tie them around (3) times with the red string – knot. Add this to the
bottle. Gather your nails and tie them around in the same fashion with the
black string and place them in the bottle “point” up. Warm the oil along with
the rose petals on the stove-top and pour into the bottle over the other
ingredients. Cap, and seal with red or black wax. Dress the bottle in perfume
and –  

For sex workers: Let the bottle “steep” on a bed of cash
paid to you by clients for at least a week. At which point, it can be used on
the neck and wrists to garner protection, added funds and draw in more clients.

For other uses, such as power-over-men and love: Store under
the bed for at least a week, it can then be adorned on the pulse points or used
to dress a gris gris/mojo bag.

This is also great for women who work for tips: such as
waitresses, bartenders, etc.

Loved Ones Gris-Gris

This bag is used as a more subtle (or softer) means of communication with the departed – through dreams. Its purpose to to build the bridge between sides and allow for easier contact both in and outside of sleep/dreams. The process is as follows:

Ingredients

  • Mullein (dried)
  • Wisteria Blossoms (dried)
  • Mugwort (dried)
  • Lavender (dried)
  • Graveyard Dirt

Optional Ingredients:

  • Bradford Pear Blossoms (fresh)
  • Peach Skin (desiccated) *
  • Blushing Bracket (Daedaleopsis confragosa, dried; powdered/shredded)

Supplies

  • Blue Fabric (6×6, 8×8 – square)
  • Cord – white or a light blue/lilac
  • Paper
  • Blue Ink (w/ quill or pen) – if blue is not available, black will work just fine

Construction

  • Begin foremost by drawing the above seal of a slip of paper. On the reverse, right the name of the one you seek to contact above the eye and your own name below it. Burn the paper and collect this ashes – this will be the foundation of your mix. If you so choose, you could add some Van Van oil to the slip of paper before burning. 
  • Add to the ashes all ingredients mark (dried) above. Give them a blend with your fingers. In the center of your cloth, make a bed of the herbs. If you elected to use the desiccated peach skin, place it first atop the herbs. If not already shaped (I used a natural clump – pictured above), roll the Graveyard Dirt as best you can into a ball shape. Don’t wet it. If it is very dry and doesn’t hold, simply sprinkle it over the herbs. Decorate the exterior with your fresh blossoms before gathering the corners and cinching the bag around the neck.
  • To use, place under your pillow for the 7 nights leading up to the full moon. On the day or night of the moon, remove it and go to the grave of he/she you wish to connect and leave the bag upon their headstone – with flowers if you can.
  • If the person you seek’s grave is unreachable, bury the bag in the graveyard on unclaimed soil along with their name or photo.

* – to make desiccated peach skin, gently peel the peaches with a sharp knife into chunks or ribbons, depending on your peeling skills/technique. Place the peelings into a jar or bag filled with 1:3 mixture of brown sugar and salt to cover, I also add in some fragrant cinnamon powder. Let these dry in a dark, warm, dry place until the skins begin to curl and they are no longer soft (or, rather: gelatinous) to the touch. To expedite drying, using a jar, follow the same process but place the jar (filled with the skins and salt/sugar/cinnamon mixture) into an oven set to ~200F and allow them to “cook” for ~4 – 6 hours, or until they are completely dry. When they are finished, they look reminiscent of mummified flesh – hence why they’re one of my favorite Craft ingredients!

Black Dog Cross

qedavathegrey:

Black dogs have long since been symbols of misfortune, omens
of death and undeniably connoted with the Underworld – Anubis, Hecate, Cerberus
– all patrons the Crossroads: the bridge into the Unknown. This cross is
formulated to bring down a steady stream of misfortune, one that grows with
each passing day until this great weight plummets your victim into madness,
paranoia and paralyzing fear. You are, after all, releasing the Hounds of Hell –
it wasn’t going to be a pretty process. Be warned, reigning them in is much
harder to do than letting them hunt.

The process is relatively simple, but one that takes a particular breed (no pun intended) of concentration – you’re going to want to summon up the most violent, angry and feral parts of yourself to make this one come perfectly to fruition.

(A hound’s-tooth necklace also helps)

Things You Will Need:

  • Black Dog Hair – from a solid black dog, not from one with any white – it’s IMPERATIVE.
    Black and white dogs have an entirely separate symbolism.
  • Sulfur
  • Raw Meat
  • Black Salt
  • Black Fabric
  • (2) Iron Nails
  • A strong, red wine – such as Merlot
  • Black string (any sort will do)
  • A person affect of he/she you wish to cross – foot-tracks
    would be best, but most anything will do

Instructions:

  1. Begin by soaking your black square of fabric (8in x 8in
    should suffice) in the red wine. It only need be wet, remove and allow to dry
    in the sun (or in the oven if you’re in a hurry).
  2. Take a cut of meat (it needn’t be large – about an inch
    square) and “season” it with a generous portion of salt and sulfur.
    Take your first nail (dressed with a crossing oil of your choosing, if you
    wish) and secure the personal affect to it, driving the nail through the meat.
  3. Wrap the black dog hair around the second (if the hair is
    long enough, if not, just dampen the nail with water/oil and affix the hair as
    best you can). Drive this perpendicularly to the other nail through the cut of
    meat – speaking or visualizing that which you seek to accomplish.
  4. If the nails are small enough, lay the trick on the fabric,
    gather the corners and cinch with the black string – creating a bag. If they
    are too long, simply lay the trick on the fabric and gather the corners between
    the nails, and tie at its center – leaving you with jutting nails and quite the
    statement.
  5. Leave the trick at the foot of the central cross in the cemetery
    – having paid your way in, or at a very dark, deserted crossroads.

The cross is done.

As is customary, when your wishes are fulfilled, leave for
them a gift in the same location – again, meat is always welcomed.

As promised – an update to the store. Powders have been added and are now for sale! Oils are in progress (mostly waiting on these cute, little bottles to arrive)! 

Currently Listed:

Prosperity Blend

This is what I use to stuff my Prosperity Bundles – but as noted, the blend can also be tossed into a hearth or fire, scattered upon your property or hung in a sachet over your door to reap the same reward. It is to attract health, wealth and happiness into your life.

Mourner’s Dust

A powder intended to cause great grief and sadness. Not all powders are made of rainbows and butterflies, you know! This one is particularly nasty as it doesn’t inflict any circumstance or event that might breed sadness, but just causes them that overwhelming, consuming weight of melancholy to eat away at them. Best scattered on the victim’s doorstep, foo-tracks/trail or on something that belongs to them.

Fiery Lust Powder

*pictured above* As you can probably surmise, this little number has one job for which its well-suited: invoking that scintillating, carnal lust. It stokes the flames of even the hardest… hearts…. And not only does it get them going, it keeps them dancing. Toss a bit in the sheets. on his/her feet, or on yourself – depending on your end game – and let the passions run wild.

Hot-Foot Powder

This traditional recipe is one that is tried and true, and one that could just as easily be called (pardon my French) “Get the Fuck Away From Me” Powder. Use to drive someone away from you, away from town, or away from one another. This nefarious little concoction has been driving wedges for 100+ years.

Love Dust

Ah yes, love: a magic of its own, one that makes the sun shine brighter and the stars sparkle… when you got it. When you don’t? Love Dust. It can draw them in and hook ‘em, too. Keep them faithful, keep them tasteful and keep them as sweet as sugar. Sprinkle a little in your shoe to draw someone to you, a little in their wake if you know who you seek, or a little in the bed-sheets to keep the one you’ve got from straying – good alternative to a “spiked coffee,” if you know what I’m saying.

& (last but not least…)

Goofer Dust

About as classic as you can get – but you know what they say, “if it ain’t broke…” Everyone has their own, but this is my recipe and I’ve been using it with great success for years. Perfect for crossin’ and laying tricks on any enemy, Goofer Dust is nothing to trifle with. If devastation is what you want, you came to the right place.

UPDATES TO FOLLOW

Standard

I’m considering starting an Oil and Powder shop – but not selling the staples. You can basically find those anywhere, so I’d rather exclusively sell my own recipes – like the ones features here and a few others.

However, I’m not sure of the means by which to go about that – Etsy? Sell on here with PayPal? I’m not sure.

Any suggestions?

Goofer Dust Recipe

Now, I know this is one of those things that you just aren’t supposed to divulge to anyone and I know quite a few people who would take their recipe to the grave (conveniently, given the circumstance…):

I, however, am not so private – or rather, I don’t mind sharing a few trade secrets.

I don’t intend to hold you hand for this process or walk you through specifics. If you choose to attempt this recipe, you do so on your own free will – don’t put it on me.

Things You’ll Need:

  • Dirt from a Sinner’s Grave (it’s a loose term, but you’ll know it when you find it – always pay at the gates and at the stone)
  • Red Pepper Seeds
  • Black Peppercorns (whole is better, then crushed forcibly)
  • Black Salt (Kala Namak)
  • Sulphur Powder
  • Lava Rock (powdered)
  • Limestone (powdered)
  • Iron Oxide (scraped from iron nails)
  • Traditionally, Snake Skin/Shed is also added, but I prefer Powdered Slug
  • Powdered, Hot Red Peppers
  • Black Dog Hair

Gather your ingredients and take them into the cemetery – paying your way. Without reading any of the stones, make your way to its center (alt. count 7 stones and do you working at the 7th you come to – I find this to be a little insensitive, however, given the 7th stone was probably just an unsuspecting person in life, garnering no added benefit).

Once there, “wash” your hands with Dark Rum, and pour some unto the earth. Combine your ingredients in a bowl or bag, beginning with the (9) peppercorns and red pepper flakes. Crush them with a rock or in a mortar.

To this, add your Dirt and mix thoroughly. Add in: Powdered Lava Rock, Sulphur, Black Salt, Iron Oxide, and Limestone (in no particular order). In a separate vessel or simply on the ground, combine Black Dog Hair, Powdered Red Pepper and Powder Slug/Snakeskin. Scoop with hands and add to the dirt mixture.

Wash hands with Rum again, and dust them with Cascarilla.

Leave a Piece of Silver (Coins were ideal, but aren’t made with silver anymore – though coins are better than NOTHING) or light a Black Candle where you worked. Collect your belongings and take 7 paces backward, at which point turn away and do not look back until through the gates.

Standard

Lighting some candles for Baltimore. And I’d ask y’all to do the same.

Given the circumstances, they’re going to need all the protection they can get.

If the law doesn’t need a reason to attack, why should we to enact Justice on those who would attack senselessly those already persecuted and oppressed?

Light a candle. Light a few.
Let’s bring the hammer down, witches.

Whore of Babylon Oil

image

A condition/formula oil used to garner favor by shamelessly utilizing your own wiles – both natural and added. 

In a sense, it is a mean by which to climb any metaphorical ladder or obtain dominion over a person or a group of people.

In this aspect, it is similar to Bend Over Oil or Commanding Oil. But it doubles for its ability to conjure lust – as a means by which to gain this power. 

Shamelessly, of course.

As an ode to Revelations’ portrayal of Rome (or Jerusalem – depending on who you ask), the Whore of Babylon is portrayed riding atop a beast with 7 heads – which draws immediate tethers in my mind to Pomba Gira at this point. Thusly I concocted this oil in accordance to the “7 heads” of the beast, incorporating 7 elements/ingredients to the formula.

  • Anise Seed (not star anise)
  • Licorice Root
  • Calamus Root *
  • Thorny Rose Stems
  • Half-Stick Candle**
  • Black Pepper
  • (7x) Knotted Red Ribbon

In a carrier oil heat any crushed or powdered herbs over low heat until it becomes fragrant – at which point remove and allow to cool until safe enough to tolerate (should any hot oil get frisky).

To your bottle (amber or red is better, but not wholly necessary) add sticks, stems, roots and curios – those being Licorice Root, Calamus Root (if not powdered), Rose Stems, Half-Stick Candle and Knotted Ribbon. Obviously, be careful with the sharp bits – though blood may very well be beneficial – as it often is.

Add to this your warm oil, cork and allow to steep for a least one week before use.

Feel free to adjust the ratios of ingredients until they feel right to you.

Notes:
* An alternative to calamus root (in this particular oil, not in general) is to lightly spritz candied ginger with water or white vinegar and dust with cinnamon powder, then dried in the oven on very low heat.
** A Half-Stick Candle is what I call a small candle (like a chime) that has been formed of two halved candles. Here you would want half black and half red – the order of which is unimportant. Simply halve one red and one black chime candle replace the length with the opposite color and bind the halves together with heat. Ex: x = black, o = red; xxxx|oooo
