SHADOWS AND LIGHT

On a lark Karen and I went to the Shadows and Light Shoppe tonight. It doesn't deal with witchcraft or Wicca but focuses on folk magick indigenous to New Orleans which has been called Hoodoo or Conjure, and has evolved into what is known as New Orleans Voodoo. It focuses on personal power and the living spiritual power contained within herbs, oils, crystal, roots, and metals when combined to bring about the desired effect.

I got several crystals, some Follow Me oil (instills a strong sense of desire for you on any man, oh yeah Baby!), and a Celtic necklace which is supposed to enhance your sexuality. Do you think I'll have the construction workers at the plant following me around?? Can't hurt and who knows, this stuff might work even if it's only the power of suggestion! We'll find out in a while, I'll let you know.

The woman running the shop also does massage and readings. I might have to go back and get a reading. Not that I believe in all this, but I do have an open mind. I enjoy researching different theologies and beliefs. I believe in the power of personal belief. What you believe in works, not some outside power.

Time for beddy-bye. 3:30 comes early. Nite y'all.
