There is a preconceived notion that Voodoo is a left-hand path magickal practice. Perhaps the media has fuelled this misconception just a little bit too often and with a touch of too much bias. There are video clips showing practitioners in trance being squirted with the blood from some sacrificial animal and tales of woe abound on how So-and-So turned at Death's door after a Voodoo practitioner stuck pins in a Voodoo doll made to his or her likeness, expressly with the intent to do harm. As a result, many people live in fear of Voodoo, and hold the opinion that Voodoo can only be used for vengeful and harmful purposes.

That is a rather warped and unbalanced way to look at this unique and interesting magickal craft.

Voodoo is the legacy of African shamanism in the Americas. As is the case with African shamanism, magick is considered a neutral, natural force. It can be used for both positive and negative purposes. The decision rests with the individual practitioner. For those who are worried, but still manage to find the courage to ask a spell doctor what his or her philosophy towards practicing negative magick is, the answer will in all likelihood be reassuring: Most voodoo spell doctors are quick to tell you that negative magick has the nasty habit of returning to you, three times more powerful than the magick you originally sent. For this very reason, the majority of voodoo practitioners today refrain from performing black magick spells and placing curses.

If you want to practice beginner spells, stick to those intended for positive ends. Fortunately voodoo spells are quite simple and focused on things of daily living. So, as a beginner you should not have too much difficulty getting the hang of it. We specially selected 2 spells for you to try out:

SPELLS

Attracting Money

Place a small bowl in a place you will see every day. Decide how much you need. While holding three coins in your dominant hand say:

Trinka five, Trinka five

Ancient Spirits come alive,

Money grow and money thrive,

Spirits of the trinka five.

Toss the coins in the bowl. Repeat daily for nine consecutive days until you have the money you need.

For Prosperity

Ingredients:

Orange rinds

Dried orange leaves

Brown sugar

Place all of the ingredients in the iron pot and burn them. Smother the fire and leave the smoldering mixture smoking heavily. Offer the incense to Oshun and respectfully pray to her for the money and economic prosperity you need. Or, you may use the following prayer:

"Oshun ogoao mi inle oshun igua iya mio igua iko bo si iya mi guasi iya mi omo y alorde oguo mi inle ashe Oshun."
