Dear Ms. Q, "I've read some where about Tar water and about War Water are they the same?"   "I need something stronger than Peace water to keep bad stuff out of my home.  What can I do?" “I hear folks talking about War Water and Tar Water are they the same or are they two different kinds of water?” THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAR WATER AND WAR WATER These two waters are constantly being mixed-up and sometimes mixed together,   in part because of Zora Neal’s Houston’s book   “Hoodoo in America,”   where she describes War Water as “Oil of Tar in water (filtered)” Oil of Tar is a thick distillate of creosote or burned pine resin (sometimes called Pine Tar) and it is carcinogenic and dangerous.   But it would be rare for her to mix the two up and some folk’s think it was an editorial mistake and not the authors and that she was referring to Tar Water. But in her book “Of Mules and Men” she appears to use the words Tar and War water interchangeably, but some p...

Hello Everyone, This is Ms. Q's niece. I just posted Ms. Q's latest information on candle work at her request, but she's been a bit of a naughty lady and is not resting as she should. So Ms. Q is going to have an enforced rest for at least a week if not longer.  Her mind is whirling with more ideas for topics to write about here in her blog, thanks to your questions you have given her a lot of ideas and have jogged her memory about the family and friends and their workings,  and that is fine, but I want her to rest for a while. I know that for some of you she has, as a courtesy done "one card" readings, but she needs her rest.  If you post a question I'm not sure when she can get to it as her health is very important. So please be patient.   Eventually she will respond. And in Ms. Q's words "Bright Blessings to Everyone"

Dear Ms. Q, “I did my spell/candle stuff/ritual, now how do I clean it up, how do I get rid of it, and where do I get rid of it.” If one reads an old time spell or candle working it will usually include how to dispose of the remnants of your workings, but a lot of new spells that you see popping up here and there, do not include that, and that is a serious mistake. Even Raymond Buckland’s classic book on candle burning and rituals Does NOT include how to dispose of the remains of your workings----Opps!!!    (By the way I do recommend purchasing this book it is excellent in its rituals   “Practical Candleburning Rituals” by Raymond Buckland printed by Llewellyn Publications---they have a web site you can order it directly from them. You should have it on your personal magic shelf and once you determine the kind of spell you can make notes in your book of the workings disposal. When you are doing a spell or candle working or ritual you are pulling up the energy from the e...

Dear Ms. Q, "O.K. I understand how candles can talk, but what about the wax, does it have anything to say?" "I got strange shapes in my wax, what does that mean?" “I burned a free-standing candle and I got these strange images in the wax what does it mean?” “I burned a male and a female candle and the female candle melted real fast over the male candle what does that mean?” Wax puddles, and drippings come in all kinds of shapes and do strange things; most practitioners treat them like tea-leaves when they "read" them.    This is the 3 rd part of Candle workings that practitioners need to understand when doing candle spells or rituals.   This also gives an idea how the spell is or has worked and is in essence a form of divination.   This works very well for free-standing candles but it’s much harder to decipher in glass-enclosed candles What I’m going to explain here first is for free-standing candles.   One thing you have to remember is that you should not...
