Have a plain, one-color vigil candle fixed, dressed, blessed, and shipped to you to work at home. Leave a note when you're checking out to give me your petition or intention in a sentence or two, or you can just name a common hoodoo "condition" for which you want your vigil light fixed, like "gambling luck" or "blessing" or "steady work."
I will fix and dress an appropriately-colored candle with suitable herbs, oils, curios, and powders for your intention. I will also make and dress a name/petition paper for you if you give me sufficient info, folding it in the manner appropriate to your petition and affixing it to the candle glass in such a way that nobody wandering by will be able to see what it says.
I leave the glass plain and undecorated in case you need to keep your work on the down-low or ensure nobody you live with knows what you're doing with the candle. (If you want a decorated vigil light instead, those are available in a separate listing.)
Shipping
These candles weigh about 1.5 pounds each. Shipping adds up. If you want more than one or two of these, please contact me for a custom listing with shipping options from various carriers.
HANDLING TIMES: Please note published handling times, which start at 5 business days and will be longer for custom-finished items, large orders, and some specialty/extra strength formulas. Why? Two reasons:
One, I make all my formulas in tiny batches, decanting and praying over every oil order as it comes in, for instance. It's not a matter of just grabbing a bottle off a shelf and popping it into an envelope. And I stock only what I know I can use within a certain shelf life. That means I can have unexpected runs on formulas that use up my stock of an ingredient, and it takes a few days for more to arrive. The payoff for your patience is that you get fresh blends and fresh products, made by hand the old fashioned way, by a traditional rootworker with 35 years of experience.
Two, I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to expect time-sucking delays as par for the course, like the internet going down 'cause a cow broke the line, stuff like that.
USAGE: Oils are for prayer and ritual use; they are not cosmetics or perfumes. While some customers do use some dressing oils as anointing oils (which is not the same thing as wearing a perfume or cologne), they are careful to do a skin test first, since they know that all-natural does not equal hypoallergenic. If you need suggestions on how to use condition and anointing oils in the conjure tradition, see the Education link up top.
LEGALESE: As required by law, all items are sold as curios to preserve and teach the traditions of folklore and popular religion. I don't sell anything I don't use myself, though, and quite a few customers over the years have sworn by my traditional formulas since I started selling them in 2002.
