Enchanted Jewelry Highlighted this month and offered at a special reduced price is the beautiful onyx ring above: Black Onyx Ring, 25 ct.-- Self-Control Spell Black onyx has long been used for its ability to promote self-control in the one who wears it. This stone squelches appetites, whether it's an appetite for food, drugs, certain behaviours, or even sex...This stone will help you curb and control that which you wish to have dominion over. To this beautiful and dainty onyx ring, I've cast a spell of self-control. When wearing it, focus on that which you personally need to gain control of in your life and feel the change within yourself. Black onyx is a protective stone worn when facing adversaries in battles or conflicts of any kind. It also protects against any negativity consciously directed toward you. Don't be put off on black onyx because of it's ability to squelch the wearer's sexual appetite; if this is not the desired affect, you can balance this stone's power of sexual repression by simply wearing a diamond at the same time-- the diamond is a stone that's sexually arousing...is it any wonder that it's the most popular gemstone for engagement rings! Black onyx has energy that is projective (male). Its planets are Mars and Saturn; its element is fire; and its powers include protection, defensive magic, and promoting self-control. Black Onyx Ring Self-Control Spell $30.00

Following is a list of oils used in the practice of witchcraft and hoodoo. These oils can be purchased at my site by clicking Here
Health & Healing Oil This ointment is used to "dress" candles used for healing or to maintain continued good health. Annoint a green candle with this oil for healing of the body; a yellow candle for healing of the mind; a red candle for the physical healing of the reproductive system-- a yellow candle can be burned along with the red one for mental healing of sexual abuse victims. Exorcism/Purification Oil Annoint a black candle with this oil to exorcise those demons that are bothering you-- whether the irritation is physical or mental. Annoint a white candle with this oil and burn it to purify your physical space or your mental/physical state. I've used this oil to exorcise entities haunting my home, and I've used it to exorcise people from my life who were causing problems. Mars Astrological Oil This ointment promotes courage, strength, aggression, sexual energy, healing after surgery, exorcisms, and defensive magick. I've found this to be an especially effective and strong magickal tool, and I want to caution you that this oil can also banish. Use it wisely. Witches' Oil This is an "all purpose" oil which can be used to annoint the body prior to rituals or spell casting. It can also be used to dress candles. Psychic Oil Annoint your third eye chakra with this oil before doing divination of any kind, or annoint a lavendar candle to call up and strengthen your psychic powers. Sex Oil Carve your name and the name of the one you desire on a red candle; annoint it with this oil to ignite passion and lust. Then stand back and be prepared for some fireworks! This oil can be made to accomodate a monogamous couple, instilled with herbs to maintain fidelity. If you wish, you can email me with your personal preferences. We can work together to create a unique oil with the qualities that you desire. Prosperity Oil This oil is used to annoint candles for money magick. It can also be used to annoint stones conducive to wealth and prosperity and carried in your purse or wallet. It will enhance and draw the energies that stimulate the acquisition of money in many ways. Summoning Powder This powder does just what its name suggests-- it summons someone to you. If you are in possession of a piece of clothing belonging to the individual you wish to summon, particularly intimate apparell, sprinkle it with this powder. You can also sprinkle this powder on a piece of correspondence you send to this person-- although in this day and age of terrorism, I would be cautious about sending anything through the mail that has a powdery dust on it. Black Cat Oil Four Thieves Vinegar Four Thieves Vinegar is a crucial component in many banishing and commanding spells. It can also be used to banish illness. It's reputed to drive away danger and rescue its user from disaster. Graveyard Dirt This item is exactly what its name implies-- soil taken from the consecrated ground of a cemetery. Graveyard dirt is a necessary ingredient in many hexing/cursing spells. On the flip side, it is also the key ingredient in many benevolent spells, including those for health and healing. Banishing oils are generally used in banishing spells, whether you're trying to rid yourself of undesirable people, situations, habits, or things. Just make sure that what you think you want banished, you really do-- getting something back is much more work than making something go away. "Commanding Oil" is generally used in binding spells-- to get another to bend to your will and do what you want and to gain control of a situation. This oil has a strong history in voodoo and New Orleans hoodoo culture and is used almost exclusively to exert your will over others. Uncrossing Oil This oil is most often used to remove hexes/curses placed upon you. It's also brought into service to turn bad luck around and is used in spells for just such results.

Magickal Uses: The blackberry leaves are used in spells of wealth, as are the berries themselves, and the vines are protective if grown. The blackberry plant is also used to heal scalds by dipping nine blackberry leaves in spring water and then laying them against the wound gently, while saying the following chant three times to each leave (27 times in all): “Three ladies came from the eat, One with fire and two with frost. Out with fire, in with frost. “ This is an old invocation to Brigit, the ancient Celtic Goddess of poetry, healing, and smith craft.
