Hey, all. Just wanted to let folks know that I'm keeping an off-site blog on hoodoo and conjure, in connection with my Crossroads Joe's Ministrations work.

It's called Tapping the Roots. Please feel free to read long and take a gander. I update it about three times a week or so, thus far, including a Friday Reading feature where I do a reading intended for someone reading it.

Hi guys! I was reading through one of my spells books and I came across an unofficial Saint that I decided to do more research on and I find extremely fascinating. He's San Cipriano, patron saint for for those who have practiced the magic arts or have been victimized by the magic .. Has anyone ever heard of him before or worked with him? I'm curious if he's involved with Santeria/Hoodoo possibly?

By all means. Kick it into a thread, copy what we've said here so far, and we'll go from there. :)

So, two questions... If I were to, say, hotfoot the GM, and then perform a door/road opening ritual of some sort for him... That may make his time in this company uncomfortable, while opening up doors for him elsewhere... This would, in effect, get him out of my way, and motivate him to do so. Thoughts?

Also, he has said some things about my grandfather in the past six months that, were they to come back to my grandfather, would damage my grandfather's like of him. I was thinking adding a sprinkling of wormwood powder or a drop or two of wormwood oil to the Honeypot, for True Sight. The problem it, it's bitter smelling and tasting, and toxic. how would that apply to/affect the honeypot? Would the taste/smell of the oil offset the sweetness of the honey and sugar, or would the effects of the oil be more apparent than the sense effects?

Now, I am very unfamiliar with how to hotfoot... I've done a short bit of spot research, but could use some directional pointers. I'ma go through the articles here, see if I can come up with anything. Of course, any pointers you have would be greatly appreciated. Is there a such think as a Hotfoot jar, like a honeypot in revere, or would that simply embitter the GM towards me?

Other bits would be that I was considering, instead, dressing a white Stick candle with Wormwood, lighting it with my Master candle, and setting it between the Hotfoot spell and my grandfather's Honeypot. That way, the Wormwood oil would have it's say, bringing True Sight into the mix, without bittering the Honey Pot, and directing it towards the hotfooted GM. How does that sound?

Admittedly, I have had precious little time to study... Full time job, working over time when I can, five kids, a wife, and the attempt at NOT being a hermit... I really ever only have time for spot research... What would you suggest?

Also, should I move this into a thread or PM? I'm down with public discussion, if you are.

Gotcha. Tripping up the GM is going to be straight-up Crossing work. If you were closer to him, I'd suggest Hot Footing him, but even that wouldn't guarantee him messing up. It'd just make him get out of your life.

For yourself, I would suggest a mojo. Use a High John for its heart, with some success, prosperity and compelling curios to aid it, and dress it in Crown of Success oil, possibly boosted with something else (like Fast Luck, High John or Road Opener oils).

For your grandfather, use a honeypot. If you want it to work a little faster, use both sugar and honey. Lay your curios in the pot, cover with sugar and then fill the rest with honey. If you want to add a little "heat" to it, add some red pepper flakes and/or gunpowder to the curios, but do be warned: sometimes that heat can get to be a little much. Use the honeypot as a base for burning purple candles dressed with Crown of Success or High John oil, and green candles dressed with a prosperity oil.

This is a tough decision... I'm not opposed to doing all three. Tripping up the general manager would make his position in the company fragile, and ripe for the taking. Sweetening my grandfather towards me would be good, since he has been primarily a businessman for most of my life, with ten of the last twelve years or so being separated from me. Boosting my own performance is always a plus... we all can benefit from improvement.

Alright. There are three principal actors in this scenario: You, your grandfather, and this other fellow.

You can boost your own performance and success in some capacity. You can sweeten your grandfather to you. You can trip up this other fellow. Conjure has traditional techniques for doing any or all of these things. What is your preference?

So, for example, I've been stuck as the most skilled sales associate in the force, while someone who was hired after me was promoted to general manager. This individual now has aspirations of purchasing my grandfather's company... which I was wanting to move into inheriting when he decided to retire.

 

The first step I made was to become the best at what it is that I do, and I have done so. Nobody in the company is better than me at sales. Seeing as how I have been placed at the least grossing location (accounting for 1/10 of the company sales), yet have been able to move to third in sales, were I in a more active location (say, the HQ, which accounts for roughly a third of the sales), I would easily take first. The only thing that is standing in my way, currently, is the General Manager, who has put me in the slow location with the point that "He knows what he is doing, he should be there to try and turn it around."

 

Logically, it makes sense, but my commission is suffering from it, and my position in the company is suffering. Meanwhile, Caleb is consolidating all of the management positions into one (he started out as Sales Manager, then took general manager, and combined the two, then, as the Store Leads moved on, he took over their positions). A close friend of mine just put in his 2 week notice, and he is the Weekend Lead of the main HQ.

 

I want that position. It'll get my foot in the door. Couple that with the fact that I just achieved my Associate's degree in Small Business Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Management, and I'm looking more and more prime for the position I want, which will be, eventually, heir to the company. My grandfather is one of those "Prove you deserve it, and it's yours" types, and I'm doing my damndest on the mundane side.

 

I just think a little bit of an extra kick won't go awry. I've started with that candle and oil... do you have any other suggestions?
