This is the perfect time for all spellcrafters both experienced and the newly awakened to gather their herbs, candles and oils for a truly powerful experience. On New Year’s Eve we have three natural powers aligned to our advantage. First there will be a blue moon, second is a partial lunar eclipse, and third is the coming of the New Year. So what does this mean? I’m glad you asked!
Most people are aware of the influence plants and moon phases can have on the outcome of spellwork but this New Year’s Eve happens to be an astronomical phenomenon.
What is a blue moon and what are its affect on spiritual matters?
There is usually only one full moon every month since the 29.5 day cycle of the moon lines up fairly well with the length of our calendar months. Sometimes there are two full moons within the same month which usually occur every 2½ years. This second full moon is called the blue moon. This is where the term “once in a blue moon” came about...meaning something that only happens occasionally. A blue moon falling at the end of the year is very rare. The last blue moon occurred in May of 2007 and the last time a blue moon fell on New Year's Eve was in 1990. The next time we will see a blue moon for the New Year will be in 2028!
For spellworkers blue moons are good for adding power to our desired goals, heightened spiritual awareness, and to fine tune our divination practices.
Twilight eclipses happen only about twice a year. The moon seems to completely disappear during a total lunar eclipse when it fully passes through the earth’s shadow. When the moon just barely meets the earth’s shadow this creates a partial eclipse. This is what will happen this month, a partial meeting. By the way, did you know that a lunar eclipse can only happen during the Full Moon? Interesting huh?
There are different beliefs when it comes to working spells during the lunar darkness. Some people feel that because the earth is casting darkness over the moon their attempt at spellwork will also be blocked. Others feel very differently about working during this time. In my opinion I find it to be a very powerful combination of both energies.
Lunar eclipses can work to bring us a closer connection to the spirit world and is a powerful time for both protection and cleansing away all the bad vibes that may be hanging around. Oh, did I mention that the lunar eclipse is also good for dominating and commanding a person or situation?
Spellwork for the closing of the year is known for accomplishing goals of ridding the old and unwanted and starting the new year off to a good start. New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to bring in positive forces whether you’re looking to better your finances, better jobs, breaking bad habits, or improving stale relationships.
All these different things (ending of the year, eclipses, blue moon) carry their own particular types of energy which are all powerful in their own right. This New Years Eve will be a powerful combining of them all at one time. So do not miss out on this “Once in a Blue Moon” opportunity that is given to us to create some really potent spellwork and incredible manifestations. New Years Eve of 2009 will be the strongest of energies until 2028.
Those that have taken my courses will realize how powerful this combination of planetary energies can affect the success of our magical goals since this is something we have talked about.
On another note my courses will be starting up again in about a week or so. Check out the different spellwork courses offered on my website at www.curiouscurandera.com –

Heads Up People!!
Hey everyone, heads up, my friend just started her blog so you guys (and gals) have got to visit her. She’s an awesome Rootworker/Conjure Woman...check her out at

Ajo Macho (Male Garlic) Candle
Ajo Macho is normally used in order to protect yourself from enemies, negativity, and evil which may be lurking...noticed or unnoticed. This includes the envy of others, people who are out to destroy your reputation, less than friendly co-workers, those who drain your energy, witchcraft, and to break the effects of the evil eye. Ajo Macho will protect against the forces of evil and at the same time it cleanses away the negative vibrations and attracts good luck.
Garlic has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal and protective powers. The ancients would eat raw cloves of garlic because it made them burp....every time they would burp the odor of the garlic was released...ewwwh...they did this in order to keep evil away from them. It’s my belief that they kept more than evil away if you know what I mean. I wouldn’t be surprised if their love life suffered...lol
Growing up, I remember my elders, who were spiritual workers, would keep cloves of garlic in their pocket for protection. It was common to see fresh garlic braided together and hung over doorways or bowls of garlic strewed about the house. The dry, brittle garlic skins were also burned for the same purpose.
Its said that male garlic was planted in the earth at the foot of the cross on Mount Calvary when Jesus was crucified but I have not been able to find any solid evidence of this. Some say that the garlic was placed there in order to keep demons from attacking Jesus while he was in a weakened condition. Others say that the garlic was planted to symbolize eternal life and protection from evil. Because of this belief the following prayer is recited in order to bless and empower garlic cloves used for spiritual protection.
Prayer To The Garlic
“Miraculous garlic, you were put on Mount Calvary where Jesus died in order to give us eternal light and freedom from all evil. Free me from confinement and from demons. Free me from my enemies who wish to see me suffer or hurt me. Blind their sight so they cannot see me, paralyze their feet so they cannot near me, bind their hands so they cannot touch me nor their weapons be pointed at me. Miraculous garlic, give me freedom from all harm and bless me with work, money, good friendships, love, health, and happiness. So be it. Amen”
Ajo Macho Candle
This is to shield you from any kind of negative influence.
You will need:
3 fresh clove of garlic, small ones
1 white pouch
1 Ajo Macho Candle
1 small bowl of Holy Water
1 white dressmakers pin (the ones with the colored balls on top)
Do this:
Okay, you can’t be protected from negative influences if you don’t clear your home first....Take the ajo macho candle and with the dressmakers pin carve the Star of David around the wick. Light the candle to free your home of negativity. The way I do it is to begin at the back part of my home and work my way up front...just as if I were doing a house cleansing. I allow the candle to burn in each room for 1 hour working my way up to the front door. At the front door I allow the candle to burn out. Some people just light it anywhere in the house...this is fine...it’s just my personal preference to move it throughout each room.
Now for the protection....
Take the bowl of Holy Water and dip the cloves of garlic inside allowing them to soak up some Holy vibrations. Make sure to fully submerge each clove. Do this three times. Then place them inside the pouch. Before tying it shut recite the garlic blessing above. Carry this with you in your purse or pocket. Replace the garlic with fresh ones once a month.

Prosperity: Kitchen Witchery
I’d like to wish everyone a great thanksgiving holiday...Gobble, Gobble. Tis the season for food...sometimes a ton of it! Why not play the role of the “kitchen witch” and use the things we normally consume on thanksgiving day to amplify prosperity. Okay turkeys and turkettes get out the herbs and spices and let’s get down to business.
Allspice can be added to homemade baked goods and is great for attracting abundance and helpful friendships.
Anise is used for keeping everyone grounded. This would be perfect for someone who seems to be a little scattered....don’t we all have at least one of these people in our families...lol
Basil added to foods works well for family happiness and harmony.
Fidelity,
Bay Leaf is good for bettering the finances but it’s also good for controlling and dominating a person or situation. Gives lots of Bay Leaf to the person you want to control...haha
Beets are wonderful for bonding people together.
Chives can be added to food to stop someone from interfering in your life....hmmm, INLAWS!!
Cinnamon can be added to baked goods to encourage creativity or to strengthen the bond between couples. Cinnamon is also an aphrodisiac so be sure to sprinkle extra on your lovers plate.
Cauliflower, Peas, and Corn create prosperity, and Potatoes encourage healing.
Clove, Mint, Nutmeg, and Vanilla bring abundance and prosperity.
Chamomile is calming, attracts abundance, friendship, good luck, money, peace, prosperity, and success....soooo, after dinner brew up a big pot of Chamomile Tea and spread the benefits around!
Spread bowls of fresh nuts around the room since these have many beneficial properties.
