Spiritual Folk Illness
Over the past several months I have almost been overwhelmed with requests for help from people suffering from a variety of spiritual illnesses. Many of them go on to explain their anxiety over the economy. Every week more and more people are losing their jobs, hours being cut, or the fear of their employer downsizing. From the emails I receive there seems to be an epidemic of anger, anxiety and emotional stress. As more and more people experience a lack of financial stability, more and more illnesses arise. In my opinion this excess of stress, worry, and fear is affecting the core of the person...the soul.
Hardship also leads those with less than ethical reason to strike out. Increasingly you must watch out for and protect yourself from spiritual attacks, evil spirits, enemies, hexers, and those who wish us harm. As resources (jobs, money, food, etc) may become short, there will be those that take advantage of good will, unsuspecting and weaker individuals. Awareness of these possibilities is crucial to safeguarding yourself and your family and friends.
Let me explain in more detail...
I use the term SPIRITUAL ILLNESS or FOLK ILLNESS to describe a psychical, emotional, or spiritual condition which manifested through outside (unnatural) forces. Although stemming from an unnatural force, spiritual illnesses are felt and experienced just the same as any other “natural” illness.
Spiritual illnesses are not recognized by Western Medicine. Try going to a Western Medical Doctor to treat a case of Mal de Ojo (The Evil Eye) and you’ll probably get referred to the nearest psychiatrist office, and quick.
The Western Medical practitioners who know what the Evil Eye is simply see it as a silly superstition. Western Medicine simply doesn’t address health problems attributed to nonscientific causes.
Because every spiritual illness displays its own set of symptoms, Western Medical Doctors are very likely to “label” the spiritual illness according to the symptoms the person is experiencing. For instance, Doctor “so-and-so” may label “Evil Eye” as a phobia, or he may label the patient as being a hypochondriac. Susto may be labeled as depression. Mal Puesto (witchcraft) may be labeled as anxiety. Thus, the Doctor will give treatment for something the patient probably doesn’t have and most likely prescribe pharmaceuticals that the patient may not need. I’m not saying that a person should not seek medical advice nor trust their doctor’s opinions. In the previous cases, it is not their fault that Doctors are not trained in spiritual issues.
There are many known folk illnesses. Some of them include:
Spirit Possession
Susto (soul loss)
Ataque de Nervios (dramatic outbursts of negative emotions, usually spiritual in nature)
Mal Puesto (witchcraft, hexing)
Tristeza (overwhelming sadness)
Decaimientos (fatigue, usually spiritual in nature)
Envidia (the effect of strong envy)
Mal de Ojo (evil eye)
Generational Curse (problems passed down in the family line)
Espanto (fright, a more severe case of susto)
Pesar (grief)
Mal Suerte (bad luck)
Penas (overwhelming shame)
Barrevillos (obsessions, usually spiritual in nature)
These are just a few.
Since we are created both physically AND spiritually, oftentimes a spiritual illness, even though un-natural, can lead to physical illnesses. The same holds true for physical illnesses. Because everything has an energy to it, including real physical illnesses, such as high fever, fatigue, arthritis, and terminal conditions these real illnesses can cause spiritual illness as well. In these cases a spiritual illness can manifest because of the negative energy surrounding the physical illness. Even when the physical illness runs its course and the person gets better the energy of the illness can linger behind, affecting the person’s aura or spiritual body.
The emails I have been receiving encouraged me to finish up another online course I started but never completed. How To Heal Spiritual Illnesses. Having the knowledge of dealing with such problems is indispensable. It will be open soon for those interested.
Please arm yourself with the knowledge of spiritual illnesses and guard yourself from the actions of those that would use them against you.

Natural Magic
All things are made up of energy and in return everything reacts to it. Colors correspond to sound and light. Subconsciously we are drawn to certain colors that we need to reach balance and healing. This can be colors that we call our “favorites”, colors we like to wear, colors we paint our homes, or the color of your favorite food. At the same time color plays a part in our health, our emotions, and our wellbeing.
Numerous studies have been done to prove the theory that color has a strong affect on us. Classrooms painted blue calmed disruptive and aggressive children. The Johns Hopkins Medical University in Baltimore, found that surrounding overweight patients with pink suppressed the appetite and stopped stress related snacking. Violent prisoners who were placed in pink cells were dramatically calmer. And that’s not all. There have been many more studies which have proved the theory.
You can easily apply the benefits the color spectrum by wearing certain colors in your wardrobe. Change them to fit your day, what you want to achieve, and how you want to feel.
Blue
Wearing blue helps us feel calm. It also enhances communication between people. And believe it or not, when you wear blue it lowers the blood pressure. This would be a great color to wear when you have an important meeting that has you feeling nervous about. It’s also a good choice if you are going to be dealing with someone who is less than cooperative. When going to a job interview blue is the best color to wear. It gives the impression that you are confident, professional and competent.
Blacks And Grays
Wearing any of these colors can cause some people to feel depressed. That is the very reason people wear black to funerals. It’s a color of sadness and mourning. If you are one of these people its best to stay away from these shades as much as possible. On the other hand these dark colors do have an advantage. Blacks and grays can also give us self-confidence.
Green
Green shades tend to have a soothing quality. It gives us a sense of harmony. Greens relax the mind, body, and spirit. Anyone who suffers from depression, anxiety, or nervousness should wear this color often. This is a good color choice when you want to relax and enjoy your vacation or to de-stress over the weekend.
Orange
Orange is high energy and because of this some people find it hard to wear. People who are dieting should avoid this color altogether since it stimulates the appetite. It transfers to us a feeling of fun, excitement, and playfulness, a sort of child-like nature. Because of this it should be worn sparingly because too much playfulness can make us lose track of responsibility and stay on track. This would be an ideal color for a child who finds it hard to make friends.
Pink
Pink makes us compassionate and gives us an open heart. This is a great color for both males and females. Wearing pink makes us more able to feel connected to someone. For those on a diet pink should be worn often since it helps curb the appetite. For those that suffer from muscle tightness, tension, and stress pink clothing helps improve these irritations.
Purple
Purple is one of the colors that will not blend well with business. It gives the impression that you want attention, which is not good in the workplace. On the other hand this is a good color when you want to pamper yourself. People who suffer from migraines will find relief by wearing any shade of purple.
Red
Red is a color of power. It helps us feel confident and energized. Those that have low self esteem and lack self confidence will find that red will give them a needed boost. Wearing red after a hard days work will give you a boost of energy to spend with the family or to tackle a project that can’t wait. Be careful with this color since wearing too much of it can make you intimidating to others. This is another color that dieters should be aware of since red increases the appetite.
Yellow
Yellow helps us to feel cheerful and happy. This color will lift the spirits and helps to bring mental clarity. This is the perfect color to wear when you have to sort though problems or solve an important issue. People who suffer from depression will find yellow very helpful. Anyone who is studying, taking exams, or needing to learn something new should wear yellow since its known to improve the memory. Again dieters, watch out for this color since it does stimulate the appetite.

Blue Moon Magic
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 –
There is something of interest for everyone.

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
http://thehoodoomomma.blogspot.com
Be there or be square....personally I think if you’re not there you’d be missing out on the fun...lol

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.

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.
