Hoodoo is a term associated with a folkloric belief system that is prevalent throughout the Southern United States as well a certain major Northern United States cities such as Chicago, New York, Detroit and other cities which attracted a large African-American workforce from 1930′s to the present. In it’s simplest form, hoodoo is African spirituality combined with Native American botanical knowledge and borrows from both cultures in a blend of beliefs regarding the use of herbs, spices and ‘roots’ to affect the outcome of a situation in one’s life or to repel negative aspects or attract benevolent ones into their lives. The photograph above shows a money drawing altar set for attracting money that includes a lodestone (in dish under fanned dollar bills) a money lamp (far right) a green pyramid candle, a mojo bag (kept in silver bowl receptacle upper right) and a photo of if the intended recipient of said money, as well as other traditional hoodoo items.

Hoodoo was common in the lives of African-Americans from the time the enslaved ones were brought to this country to work for the booming sugar, tobacco, and cotton plantations that reached from Jamestown, VA, through the Southern United States, Cuba, Haiti, and on through Central America all the way to Brazil. It is classified in cultural anthropological terms as contagious magic because of the use of the intended ‘victim’s’ personal items such as clothing, jewelry, or even the hair from their head or a fingernail clipping. It also uses the elements of sympathetic or imitative magic by the use of items that can supernaturally affected through using an object representing the ‘victim’ as a poppet, doll baby or by using what is commonly known as a voodoo doll.

To read the Wikipedia explanation of the history of hoodoo, please click here.

Hoodoo is a subject of early blues music that came from the migration of Mississippi Delta and Low Country musicians who took the route of Highway 61 north to Chicago where many musicians became popular. Traveling musicians such as Robert Johnson , who referenced magical practices in his songs such as “Come on in my Kitchen”, “Crossroad Blues” and “Hellhound on my Trail”. Other musicians spoke of hoodoo in their songs, such as “Seven Sisters Blues Pt. 1″ and “Seven Sister Blues Pt. 2″ by J.T. “Funny Papa” Smith, “Sold it to the Devil” by Black Spider Dumpling (a.k.a. John D. Twitty) and “Don’t put that Thing on Me” by Clifford Gibson.

 Many people practice various candle burning rituals that are loosely related to hoodoo without even knowing it. Many Spiritualist churches have anointing services and candlelight services, along with foot washing services, that are related to hoodoo, yet many Godly people will say they will not “mess with that stuff”, yet will burn 7-day “Novena” vigil candles in glass to the 7 African Powers and green money candles for added income to their wallets.

Hoodoo has seen a resurgence of interest since 2003 with the publication of a book by cat yronwode called “Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic” and the many stores that have developed by people who want to rekindle the connections with their own ancestral past as well and a down-to-earth American tradition that is losing some of its best historians, the older candle shop proprietors themselves.

The New Moon in Taurus occurs on May 9, 2013 at 7:28 E.S.T. The energy of the Moon when in the astrological sign of Taurus is considered to be a “Fixed” Earth sign. This means that it is practical, stable, protective and materialistic.

Along with the energies of a New Moon, there is also a Solar Eclipse occurring which highlights things happening in your life at the same time last Fall, so if there were no resolutions made then, these issues will return to challenge you again.It has been six months since SuperStorm Sandy, so let’s hope there are no major weather occurrences this time.

In a nutshell, Solar Eclipses bring to a head issues that were affecting you then and the week prior to a Solar Eclipse (May 2 to 8) increases and expands and make you aware of these things. If you are to make a major decision, it is best to try to postpone them until at least the 15th of May.

The New Moon in Taurus is an optimum time for lighting candles when wanting to obtain anything new – a car, home, etc. Lighting green candles dressed with “Money Drawing” oil to bring in money for these items, boosted by the power of a red candle for “Fast Luck” and a “Success” candle can be beneficial at this time.

It is also a good time for lighting candles for protection work if needed.

The next Full Moon will occur on May 24, 2013

Many use the power of the Moon when in certain astrological signs to boost their candle spell power for success in positive or negative work. This is part 5 of a 12 part series of using the energy of each astrological sign for candle burning success. – J.

The astrological sign of Taurus the Bull rules the sky during April 21 to May 21. The planet associated with Taurus is Venus, which is in the second position from the Sun and is considered to be a “Fixed” Earth energy sign. The energy is considered materialistic, protective, and practical.

Venus is called the “Evening Star” as it appears in the night sky almost as bright as the Moon.

It is interesting that the occupation of banking, stocks, money markets, and all things relating to finance are a choice made  by Taureans. Taurus and Venus also rule money candle spells so you should consider to begin a candle burn for finances at Sunrise on Fridays.

If it is in your plan to enhance love, beauty and wealth in your life, then the New Moon in Taurus would be the optimum time as Venus is concerned with love and personal relationships. Venus encourages generosity but also can become possessive, if affected by its’ relationship with other planets. Learning to control a jealous or possessive streak will aid you in attaining your goals.

If you are seeking to break up with someone or to break up a couple, then working with the energy of the Full Moon in Taurus would be your best choice as the energy of the Full Moon is traditionally held as a source of energy for break up and banishing candle spells.

Friday is the day for Venus and many Latin-derived languages of today use a form of the word Venus in their name for Friday – “Viernes” in Spanish and “Vendredi” in French. Lighting a candle on a New Moon in Taurus on a Friday at Sunrise would be a most benevolent time for love candle spells and money candle spells.

The Full Moon in Scorpio occurs on April 25, 2013. This Moon, in the astrological sign of Scorpio the Scorpion, is a “Fixed ” Water sign, meaning that the energy of this planet is considered to be stable, unchangeable and emotional. In addition to this phase of the lunation cycle, there is a Lunar eclipse as well that heightens the energy of beginnings and endings and major changes. Emotions are at full throttle and actions taken and words said may not produce the expected results but will shine a light on the core problem.

During the Full Moon, the Moon is in opposition to the Sun, sometimes called the Full Phase, and the lunar eclipse “supercharges” the Full Moon. The effects of this can be felt two days before and two days after the eclipse, so be cautious in your words and deeds from April 22nd to April 28th.

Full Moon time for candle burnings means optimum time for break up spells, Hot Foot or Run,Devil Run candle spells or Uncrossing spells. In addition, it is an excellent time for banishing and burning Reversible candles to sluff off old negativity and issues plaguing you.

Other planetary items to note is when you are having a lunar eclipse during a Full Moon accompanied with other harsh aspects such as the opposition of Mars and Saturn, it is best to drive more defensively and do not participate in risky sports such as skydiving or mountain climbing. Take care with your skin, bones and teeth.

The next New Moon will occur on May 9, 2013.
