Have a glass-encased vigil light fixed, dressed, blessed, set on my St. Joseph altar, and burned for you in a community light setting and prayer service beginning on St. Joseph’s feast day. My daily hands-on altar work for this service includes the recitation of the Chaplet of St. Joseph, during which I include the specific names and petitions you submit for the service. Service begins the night of Tuesday, March 19th. There is some wiggle room and you can join up after the work starts as long as you see that there are still spots left and it doesn’t say “sold out.”  St....

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a *really rough* 2023. A lot of it was outside my control, and a lot went wrong even after I planned, researched, and prepared. It has definitely been a reminder lesson that sometimes the only thing I can control is how I respond, and mindset is such a huge factor in fostering and practicing resilience. I already knew this, of course, but it was like the universe decided I needed some Continuing Education Credits in the concept or something.

Nine-day vigil, novena, and Chaplet for the Dead service. Have lights set and worked on my altar in a nine-day community altar  service beginning the night of November 2nd, All Souls Day. There is some wiggle room and you can join up after the work starts as long as you see that there are still spots left and it doesn’t say “sold out.” Along with setting and working lights in the name of your loved one, I will perform a nine-day novena and daily recitation of the Chaplet of the Dead, with appropriate offerings, incense, and other materials. The Chaplet of the Dead is a four-decade rosary that includes prayers...

Have your petition set with a fixed, dressed, blessed light on my St. Cyprian altar for a nine-day novena, chaplet, and community altar service for the Cyprianic Holy Days, September 17-25.  I’ve been working with St. Cyprian of Antioch for almost 20 years now, but until recently, there has been very little information – or material from any of the many grimoires attributed to him – available in English. The past few years have seen an explosion of interest and information across numerous “occult subcultures” and some really smart people translating, publishing, and talking...

Have your petition with a fixed, dressed, and blessed light set on my St. Benedict altar and burned for you in a community altar work service for St. Benedict of Nursia. Lights will be set the night of Tuesday, July 11th. There is some wiggle room and you can join up after the work starts as long as you see that there are still spots left and it doesn’t say “sold out.” St. Benedict is Catholicism’s exorcist par excellence, invoked for protection, driving away evil, and dodging the snares of the wily serpent, with the power to banish Satan himself in the...
