This spell was submitted by a reader who knows she has seen it somewhere before, but cannot remember where she got it. If it is identical to the original owner I offer my apologies as I cannot judge the validity of the origins of any spell. It is kind of like that great chocolate cake recipe Grandma had - it had the basic ingredients in it for chocolate cake, but may have had two tablespoons of vanilla extract, not one like Velma Mae’s from the church social.

Hi,

I was just going through my spells that I copy and file away until needed <grin>. Thought this one might interest you but you probably already know then LOL! - Mia

A Compelling Bottle To Make Someone Keep a Promise

This can be made by writing their name on paper, crossed by your command of what you want from them, folding the paper with herbs such as Licorice and Calamus, which rule and control people, and inserting everything in a bottle. A small purple taper candle is then carved down to fit into the neck of the bottle, dressed with Compelling Oil, Special #20 Oil or plain Olive Oil and the candle burned until done.

The Beef Tongue “Tapa Boca” Black Candle Spell

INGREDIENTS

Take the Beef Tongue and cut a slit in it, making sure you do not cut through to the other side. Sprinkle some of the Red Pepper, Black Pepper, Habinero chile, hot sauce and salt in the slit. Place white piece of paper or photo or personal object in next. Cover with more of the peppers, salt, hot sauce and chiles.

Wrap the larger piece of paper around it and use the 9 new nails to hold together the tongue at the slit, making it as closed as possible. Tie the red ribbon or yarn onto one nail at one end, then begin wrapping the ribbon around the tongue until it is completely covered. Tie the ends off to secure the ribbon or yarn.

Take tongue, whiskey, black candle, green candle, and lighter or matches to a deserted or quiet railroad crossing. Open bottle of whiskey and pour some of it on a railroad cross piece (usually wooden). Lay tongue where you poured the whiskey. Place each a candle on each side of the tongue and light candles. Leave opened bottle of whisky next to tongue. Ask the God of Iron, Ogun, to take care of this person for you, who keeps “wagging their tongue” in malicious gossip about you.

Leave and do not look back. Take alternate way home.

This variation of a love apple was something that I recently did for a client. Now she is waiting for the John Meyer concert to see if it does its’ thing.

INGREDIENTS:

I had the client write her full name on the piece of paper. I then had her rotate the paper 90 degrees and write the lovers’ full name over her name, thus forming a cross. She then was to write IN ONE CONTINUOUS STROKE AND WITHOUT LIFTING THE PEN the qualities she is expecting this lover to bring to and exhibit in the relationship. She chose the words, loving, equality, passion, sharing, warm, exciting, adventure , etc. This took her twice to do this as she inadvertently lifted the pen, thus breaking the spell. She had to start over again.

I then placed the lodestone in the center of the paper with some of the magnetic sand, wrapped the paper around it and began to wind the red crochet string around the packet, all the while anointing the string drop by drop with the various oils I chose for the occasion.

Once the “ball” was finished, I then cut a portion of the top of the apple out, near the stem, retaining the stem/lid and coring out some of the apple seed section large enough to place the ball of string with the ingredients in it in the apple. I then dropped a few more drops of each of the oil, for good measure, closed the apple up, burned a bit of the pink candle so that the wax dips would “seal” the edges of the candle.

We then chose a corner of the front flower bed where the concrete formed a corner to bury the apple. As I looked at the view, the words of the song, “Long and Winding Road” by Paul McCartney came to mind! It truly was the walk leading up to the steps to her door! She buried it and I told her to get a red glass 7 day encased candle and doubly protect it by placing it in a terra cotta pot or glass hurricane jar to protect it from tipping over and starting a fire.

The concert is late July, so we’ll see what happens…..
