Hi Jacqueline,

Is it necessary to cast a circle for protection to keep unwanted negative energies away before performing a ritual/love spell? Or can I cast a love spell and use my Bible to recite a script like Psalm 23.

Thanks
Sherri

Sherri, some people use salt as a catalyst to keep away negative energies when burning candles. I found this out when I was interviewing Stan the candle maker, who I featured in a series of interviews recently regarding candles. You might want to look back about a month to read what Stan has to say about ringing salt around candles to keep away negative energies. You can contact him at www.wizardcandles.com if you want to find out about using or casting a circle around your candle work.

In regards to using Psalm 23 for love candle spell magic, I would suggest using the following:

Psalms 45 and 46 – Psalms for Making Peace between a Man and his Wife

Psalm 7 – Psalm for Crossed Conditions and to Overcome Enemies Plotting Against You

Psalm 22 – Psalm to Keep All Misfortune Away

A good reference book that you should consider getting is called “Secrets of the Psalms” by Geoffrey A. Selig

Saint Expedite, or San Expedito, is a well loved Saint around New Orleans. It has been reputed that he is the Saint to petition when you need “Fast Luck” or when you need ‘things in a hurry’. He is also the Saint to petition when someone is procrastinating about an issue.

Above, we show a simple alter set up for St. Expedite. An image, framed photograph or chromograph or statue (we show both), a glass of water and a candle anointed with either “St. Expedite” or “Fast Luck” Condition Oils (both available through www.lucky13clover.com ). The only other addition may be a petition written on a piece of white paper and placed under the candle.

Once the petition or wish has been granted, legend tells that you must offer him a glass of red wine and some pound cake. Some variations on the offerings can be the whole pound cake or slices arranged on a plate with a coin (usually a dime) placed on top. Once a few days have passed, take the cake outside for the birds and pour the wine and water down the drain. Give the coins to the poor.

Some say that despite their efforts to ‘work’ with Saint Expedite, he does not respond to them. I have heard that either you have much success or no success with St. Expedite.

So stylish, Your Majesty!

OK, so while this is not ‘money magic’ using a green candle, this IS a cute way to spend time with the grandkids, during those long team sessions at work or just to be cool!

How about a money box full of money?

I stumbled upon these sites that show how to fold money in the traditional Japanese method called Origami.

Wouldn’t it be great to use some of these ideas like the butterflies on your money tree?
