The Full Moon occurs on March 19, 2011 at 1:10 pm E.S.T. in the astrological sign of Virgo. This lunation, along with other planetary factors, will be one the brings a pall of negativity over many situations. This is not the best time to negotiate business as the possibility of being tricked or false illusions may occur. This is a time to “hunker down” and wait out the storm. Many will think have a could of doom and gloom over their heads, and with many parts of the country still experiencing storms, cold weather and snow, will add to melancholy and SAD.

Full Moons are traditionally considered opportune times for burning candles for reversing and revenge. If considering burning a Reversible candle, please make sure you have purchased a “black on red” style of candle, making sure the red wax is in the lower half of the candle (see photo).

The next New Moon will occur on April 3, 2011

I have a question regarding liquid crab boil. Is it used to attract couples or repel them?

C. Colas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am going to take a stab at this one and think that you are speaking about the liquid that remains after boiling crabs in a pot. I have heard of a product that has Crab Boil in the title, like the one produced by Zatarain’s, but I believe it is a mixture of spices to add to the water, since it is usually displayed in front of the fish counter at the supermarket.

In traditional hoodoo and conjure, crab shells, crushed to a fine powder after one has eaten the flesh inside, were scatted alone or mixed with other jinxing herbs and roots such as black pepper, causing a diversion of an enemies attack, and subsequent delays and problems for their attack. It can also be lain across your doorstep outside on the porch, while naming your enemies, to form a barrier front their attack.

Since you asked in regards to a liquid, I am going to assume that you are speaking about the water in which crabs were boiled. Since the spiritual properties of a crab is to pinch, I would have to gander that it would not be an item to use to bring two people together, but most likely be one to keep them apart or at war with each other.

Good Question!

Why shouldn’t a candle be lit with a match?

Sue

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tips of matches are created with a substance called sulphur, along with other stuff, that makes the matchead light. Sulphur, in the traditions of hoodoo and conjure, is used to do work that is considered evil. In Old English verbiage, it is sometimes called Brimstone, and you may have heard it used in movies along the Eurpoean magickal style.

Sulphur is used when you want to thwart or even do serious damage to an enemy. It is also used to cross and make someone move away.

For most purposes, it is suggested that you use a small lighter or even a small broom straw lit by a gas flame (as on your kitchen stove) to light a candle for good works and blessings. Using a sulphur match to a black revenge candle would be an appropropiate choice to enhance your black candle spell.

Good Question!
