Palo Santo (holy wood) is one of my most favorite medicinal and magical helpers. It’s very powerful for any kind of spiritual work, energy work, magical work, and medicinal needs.
Burserea graveolens (botanical name) is a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial.
It can be used to treat a number of ailments such as colds, flu, skin infections, wounds, flexibility, coughs, allergies, asthma, dermatitis, acne, panic attacks, anxiety, headaches, migraines, reduce tension, sprains and other injuries, relieve pain, control convulsions, and a natural mosquito repellent!
On a mental level Palo Santo is used to uplift the mood, assist with depression, calms the mind, deepens meditation, enhances concentration, promotes creativity and learning, and eases worry.
If more people knew how to use this wood medicinally the drugstores would be out of business...hehehe
In spiritual practices Palo Santo can be used to clear away negative energy while at the same time attracting good luck. It can also be used for purification, cleansing, remove spirits, end misfortune, attract fortune, end bad luck, remove curses, hexes, spells and other spiritual conditions.
When I feel a little drained from being around too much negativity I’ll bath with some of this wood. It can be placed in your tub water and before getting out the wood is rubbed over the body. Presto! The negativity is removed and drains away with the water. It’s even believed that Merlin’s magical staff was made Palo Santo...hmmmm figure that.

Easter Facts
When taking a bite into a chocolate bunny, 76% of Americans prefer to bite off the ears first. 5% eat the feet first and 4% eat the tail first (eeew!).
During the Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Peeps - making Peeps the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy (Go Peeps!).
Adults prefer milk chocolate (65%) over dark chocolate (27%) (discrimination?).
86% would prefer having chocolate bunnies instead of a live rabbit (nowhere near as cuddly).
Each day throughout the year, 5 million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced in preparation for Easter (and 10 seconds later 5 million more bunnies appear).
16 billion jelly beans are made specifically for Easter which is enough to fill a plastic egg the size of a 9-story building (how big was the chicken?).
Kids prefer red jelly beans and 75% are willing to do extra chores for more Easter candy (start your chore list today).
57% of kids get up super early on Easter to see what the Easter bunny has brought them (disregard any funny looking pellets).
In the old days pretzels were associated with Easter because the twists of the pretzel were thought to resemble arms crossing in prayer.
Red jelly beans are kids’ favorite.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records the largest Easter egg ever made was just over 25 feet high and made of chocolate and marshmallow. The egg weighed 8,968 lbs. and was supported by an internal steel frame (can you imagine finding a 25 foot egg in your basket?).
Nearly 120 million cards with be sent, exchanged, and given this Easter, which means it holds the fourth spot of the largest card-sending celebration in the U.S (at least that is what Hallmark says).
In medieval times, a festival of ‘egg-throwing’ was held in church. The priest would throw a hard-boiled egg to one of the choir boys, and then tossed from one choir boy to the next. When the clock struck 12, whoever held the egg, was the winner and got to keep the egg (and thus began “kill the man with the egg”).

San Ramon Spell: To Stop Gossip
You need:
1 printed photo of San Ramon or a prayer card
1 glass encased San Ramon candle
1 new dime
1 black dressmakers pin
The person name who is doing the gossip written on paper in black ink
A small piece of fresh chili pepper (any kind, the hotter the better)
a wad of chewing gum (already chewed by you)
Directions:
With the black dressmakers in carve the name of the person who is doing the gossiping around the wick of the candle. Light the candle to San Ramon and say the prayer that is printed on the back of the candle.
Next take the photo of San Ramon and stick the wad of chewing gum over his mouth and place the dime over the gum. The dime should be face up. The gum should hold the dime in place but if it doesn’t you can hold it down with a piece of clear tape.
Take the name of the gossiper written on the paper with black ink and set the small piece of chili pepper over the center of the name. Then wrap the name paper around the chili. And say..... “(name of person) your mouth will burn like fire every time you say my name.”
Place everything in front of the candle. Allow the candle to burn for as long as you wish every day. At least once a day pick up the image with the chewing gum and say..... “(name of person) by the power of San Ramon....shut your mouth!” And then pick up the name paper with the chili and say the same thing as before. Continue this daily ritual until the candle is consumed.
HaHa.....if you see someone drinking lots of water you know why!

Money Magic: Green Fixed Rice
Hello my fellow spiritualists,
Well today I would like to share with you how to make your own lucky green fixed rice. If you were to purchase this stuff in a botanica or spiritual store you are going to get your eyes poked with the high cost of this stuff. OUCH! Actually, for whatever reason many botenicas don't even carry it.
Green fixed rice is used to attract luck, money, prosperity, business success, to draw in customers, to increase sales, and to bring good luck in all areas. Who couldn't use a bit of extra luck anyway? This stuff is great! I give it out to my clients all the time and they always give me terrific feedback about it and always want more.
For Use in the Home
With the front door closed stand outside and throw a small handful of rice at the door to attract good luck, money and prosperity. You can also put some of the rice in your wallet or purse to attract money. If you want good news or if you are expecting money through the mail place some in your mailbox. Put some rice on the telephone receiver to bring good news. Sprinkle some under door mats or place some of the rice in an open container near the front door.
For Use in the Business
Take a small handful of the rice and throw it on the roof business to attract customers who are willing to spend their money with you. You can also place some under door mats at the main entrance. Place some rice in places where money is kept like the safe, the cash register and inside money bags. You can also place some rice in an open container near the main entrance. Place some on the telephone to bring profitable business calls or scatter it in your parking lot.
You must say a short prayer over the rice to awaken its power. Recite the following prayer......
By the power of the Holy Spirit, I call upon the forces of the elements to awaken the positive energies of this substance before me. Amen.
Next Say 1 Our Father.....
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.
When you’re finished, make the sign of the cross over the rice and it’s ready for use.
Each time you use the rice say “In Jesus name bring me good luck” or “In Jesus name bring in customers” You can say whatever it is you need but make the request as short and to the point as possible. If there is any leftover rice it should be renewed with the above prayer every first Friday of the month.
How to Make the Rice
To make a small amount of green fixed rice place 1 cup of regular white rice in a glass jar. Add 5 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol to the jar and 1 tablespoon Holy Water and squirt in some green feed coloring. Place the lid on the jar and shake it up to distribute the color. If you want more of a green tint, just add more food coloring.
Once all the rice it green, pour it all out onto several layers of paper towels. Spread it out and allow it to dry. Since you used rubbing alcohol the drying process won’t take long since alcohol evaporates quickly.

Mind-Body-Spirit Connection - Energy Healing
For those of you who have visited my website you have noticed the free informational documents I have there. I have been getting a lot of emails from inquiring minds recently asking me about the Homeopathy doc and why I included it. Okay fair enough, so I’ll explain.
As a Curandera I am very involved in healing, among many other things...(shhh) Over the years I have seen many people who suffer with health problems who cannot afford medical care because of the outrageous cost. Some of these people have been prescribed medications which eventually caused further problems. It’s really sad......no wonder why these guys drive Mercedes.
On the spiritual side of things, energy is within everything. The energy of illness can remain long after the illness is gone. This energy is disruptive and can cause many disturbances in ones life. In order to remove the lingering affects of illness a limpia (spiritual cleansing) is the only way to free it from the body. Because of the powerful way energies alone play a role in life I fully believe that healing must be approached as a whole....mind-body-spirit....the three are interconnected, not separate areas. You simply can’t heal illness in one area without regard to the remainder.
This mind-body-spirit connection is seen not only in healing but also in spellwork and other spiritual undertakings. For instance, when someone is doing spellwork to increase the success of a business they will usually include spiritual cleansing of the structure (floor washing) and possibly on themselves as well (spiritual bathing).
In my search for helping the sick (outside of energy healing) I have only come across one other method of medical treatment which closely resembles my belief in the mind-body-spirit approach. This method is Homeopathy. Homeopathy heals with the “energy” of a substance, nothing like Western Medicine where years later the pharmaceuticals prescribed are found to cause major damage to the body (by suppression). Homeopathy is an all natural (not herbal) form of treatment which actually “cures” illness instead of suppressing it.
Homeopathy fits in quite well to spiritual healing in that it uses energy in healing. Its method stimulates what is termed the “Vital Force” of the individual and centers on a balance between mind, body and spirit. In this way, Homeopathy corroborates my understanding and has expanded my knowledge of healing to a marked degree.
Homeopathy is also safe, natural, and very affordable....costing only pennies for acute treatment compared to the hundreds or thousands of dollars spent on Western Physicians who only “suppress” illness, never “curing” it. Read many of the over the counter medications and they confess to the “suppression” right on the label (cough suppressant). A popular pharmaceutical TV commercial says “it’s all about suppression”. One good thing is that anyone can learn this method of healing without having to become a doctor in order to use it. But the best thing is that it “cures” and is very affordable to those people I have met who can’t afford medical doctors and suffer because of it.
This idea of suppression is very fundamental to our normal medical system, yet is a double edged sword to the problem of illness. Consider that you have a boiling pot that represents the symptoms of illness. You put a lid on that pot (suppressing it). No more symptoms. But, the boiling just looks for another outlet. The symptoms just change to something else to find an outlet. Then they are suppressed again. It is a vicious circle.
The whole idea of mind-body-spirit is very important in achieving balance in every aspect of living. On a spiritual level the mind-body-spirit idea strengthens spellwork to a great extent because it connects each of these areas giving power to the work. As many of you already know the more items you can connect to the person the stronger your work will be.
Because of my strong belief in the mind-body-spirit connection in all aspects of life (physical and spiritual), I include homeopathic principles. I myself have found it to be a very effective for my own needs and work. If any of my readers are interested in leaning more about this, there is a great Homeopath whom I am associated with here on blogspot. http://www.likecure.blogspot.com/ He is the one who helped me write the Homeopathic document on my website and is a wealth of information on the subject.
I hope this answers the questions people have been asking me about the subject. As always, keep the questions coming....I love ‘em!
