The New Moon in Leo occurs on August 20, 2009 at 5:02 am E.S.T.

The New Moon is a time to “bring in” or “begin” new things such as new love, new money (or mo’ money!), new opportunities and more. A New Moon in Leo means pull out the glitz! Drape you money altar in gold lame’ swatches of cloth, pile brass bowls high with real foreign money or get some brand spaking new copper pennies and fill them up. Add yellow candles anointed with “Success” Anointing Oil to your regular green and red candle line up. Make sue to use “Prosperity” or “Money Drawing ” Oil on the green candles and “Fast Luck” on the red candles.

The Leo New Moon is considered “Fixed”, meaning aggressive, stable, creative and unchangable. This lunation is considered by some as the most favorable Moon to initiate love spells for a new romance as the Leo Moon is demonstrative and lavish in words and gifts. If this is what you seek, then write your most prolific prose and burn pink and red candles with “Fire of Love”, “Come to Me” “Kiss Me Now” and “Look Me Over” Condition/Anointing Oils for romantic love and fiery physical love now.

This euphoric time might be marred by a harsh reality breaking the spell of some illusionary web that is being woven by a inspiration teacher or guide. This might create an unreality full of intellect. Make sure you can seperate the message from the messenger.

Our next Full Moon will occur on September 18, 2009.

You would not believe the amount of response that I have had over last week’s article about cheaper Condition and Anointing Oils being mass produced for the public that causes fires in the home and also contains a cancer causing agent, diethyl phthalate, that is a solvent for the airplane industry.

I had a client come over and actually hand me her bottle and ask me that I get rid of it for her! Here it is!

Now ironically, the cost she paid at the other spiritual store was more than if she were to buy ‘the good stuff’ like the Lucky Mojo Co. line and get a few candles at her local grocers.

I had e-mails of others who had the very same reaction to a candle burning the whole top of the candle while using these oils. She said that she didn’t know what to do except place a plate over the whole candle glass top to smother out the candle, which by that time, was unable to be used again from all the black soot around the glass.

We just made a trip up to Forestville to Lucky Mojo Curio Co. and we have a fresh stock of all your favorites! We want to extoll the virtues of using these fine, all-natural Condition and Anointing Oils as they contain NO DIETHYL PHTHALATES!

What is this, you ask? Diethyl Phthalate is a solvent that is used in the airplane manufacturing industry and has been noted as a “stretcher” or “carrier” oil for products coming from other, cheaper lines of Spiritual Supply outlets.

This “off smelling” or “chemical smelling” additive to the cheaper condition oil lines from various companies such as Anna Riva, Seven Sister of New Orleans, Dr. Pryors and Ajax are mainly manufactured out of Los Angeles, CA and more recently, Texas, under the company name International Imports and Indio Products. The reason for adding it is because it “stretched” or doubles the batch – making one bottle now two, thus doubling the profits for the company.

Here are a few photos of the products I am warning you about:

7 Sister of New Orelans Products containing Diethyl Phthalates

Dr. Pryor's Products containing Diethyl Phthalates

This is a cancer causing additive that should not be inhaled (like burning anointed candles) or applied to the body (like anointing yourself).

You can detect the chemical-y and/or gasoline-y, petroleum based smell when you uncap these oils.

One of the reasons I tout smaller lines such as Lucky Mojo is that the Lucky Mojo line is all natural – their oil base is a combination of mineral oil (like baby oil) almond and olive oil. The essences, herbs, root and flowers that are steeped in the oils are collected naturally and/or are supplied from companies that also supply food service products.

Another reason that I caution you is that these petroleum based products will burn your house down!

What happens in a lot of candle burning is that if the spiritual worker gives you a certain number of drops to use in your candles, a great number of people will add more – either by accident or intentionally. Like laundry detergent, some think that if you “add a bit more’ the clothes will get cleaner – not true.

So if you have a vessel with an inch of liquid wax (a petroleum based product) and float a teaspoonful or more of one of these condition oils on top of the liquid wax, the whole top of the candle starts burning – not just the wick!  it becomes something like a roman candle on the 4th of July and will crack the glass, causing the mixture to flow onto altar linens and leave a trail for the flame to follow. This will start a fire on your altar, causing loss to property and maybe even humans.

Instead of taking that risk of loss to life and property, invest in all-natural Condition and Anointing Oils like the ones carried by Lucky 13 Clover Spiritual Supply.
