All Hallows Eve (Halloween) Water~~~~~

Dear Readers, If I am reading my Moon Calendar and looking at my Moon phase information from the internet correctly, this evening promises to be very interesting. Especially if you are still interested in gathering spiritual waters. Tonight is a Dark Moon, now some Calendars and Moon phase information on the internet, say Black Moon, but it seems to be confused with September as well.    So for now let’s just say Dark Moon, and it will be that way tomorrow evening as well. So depending upon the weather, tonight at Midnight put out a bottle filled with Spring Water, and gather the energy of this Halloween Dark Moon October 30/31.   If you are also lucky enough in your area for rain, put out a glass or pottery bowl to gather the rain water as well.    And if you’re not sure if it will rain, put out both the bowl and the bottle of spring water to be sure.    If it does rain then the energy will be ramped up even more. What is this water good for?   ...

What is Van Van Oil and why is it so popular?~~~~

“Dear Ms. Q, I’ve seen and read about Van-Van Oil or New Orleans Van Van Oil are they the same?   What is it used for?” Well Dear Readers, In this post I’m going to cover a basic work horse oil that is used a lot in folk magic, hoodoo, witchcraft etc.     And that is Van-Van Oil.    So be prepared for reading a long post. Now the recipe can also be made into a powder or a few drops of oil can be added to your bath water, and a drop or two behind the ears can be worn for effective results, the oil is also used to anoint candles, mojo bags, loadstones, and “lucky” rabbits foot and other amulets as well as floor washes.   So what is Van-Van used for and how old is it,   well Mrs. Washington came from Louisiana in the 1930’s and was making and using it,   Mrs. Harcourt knew of it in England but she learned it from an old South African woman who cleaned houses in her small town in England.    And the formula was pretty much the same wit...
