So the new year has begun, Thank goodness for this. 2014 was all about change, buckling down, rededicating myself, and sorting priorities!
So, new this year for hoodooing are some new conjure formulas. I won't give away the secrets but expect them to be released soon and throughout the year as I get the time to add them to the shop. OH! And more blogging! Expect to hear random rants, informative instructions, updates, new releases, etc.
Also, I created a new way to purchase my products, if you guys haven't already seen my new online shop outside of the website, it's on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConjureAndTheRoot (no longer active)!
Since the days of Ebay been there done that, I decided to give Etsy a shot, since I am a buyer on Etsy all the TIME! I decided hell why not. I tried Etsy years ago before it became popular for any witches to sell their items on there, so although competitive, it at least opens up a new door to getting exposed to more customers.
You will see new services added as well, and new payment options for those that need it. The new services added are Skype tarot reading sessions 30 minute and 60 minute options. Also look for some additional reading options as well. I have been currently working on a bone set, gathering it together, and bonding with the pieces, and doing readings for a select few that have asked for one.
I also have a few new deck options that I have been allowing some regular clients choose from, so I will be offering readings with those special decks. And the best one that I have had such a blessing to have listed is the service option for directly petitioning some of my Saints that I work closely with. I have had so many requests over the years for something like this, so now it's being offered.
So, look forward to some new things at Conjure and The Root. ;)

eBay bans magickal products
So, the eBay has done it once again, with it's famous botching of regulations, censorship, and now discriminating move on the pagan, witches, and other eclectic beliefs. This simply means, that I can no longer sell on eBay's overrated, overpriced, webstore. Well, Ok, it's been time for a change for a long time. We all saw this coming in the end. So, it's time to move on, and that I am happily doing. There will be many more new websites that will take over the money munching hog machine, eBay. Etsy, I don't believe will get there any time soon. It's small still, after the last 5 years I have been on it. They don't drive the much needed advertising and customer database that us eBay store owners have had the luxury in. Over the last few years, I have pretty much justified the extremely high fees and multiple fees of eBay, (monthly store fee, insertion fee, 12% final fee value, shipping fee final value) to count towards monthly advertising. Will I take that saved money and apply to monthly advertising? You betcha, but still save quite a bit. I am more sickened and appalled at the fact that they will easily get barely any grief over their new bans and policies. What's further disturbing to note, is that in a conference, one spokesperson claims that while incense and candles will still be allowed, intangible products which they deem "potions" or rather our hoodoo powders, hoodoo oils, ritual oils,etc. are banned. Now how in the world does this make sense? Candle-- -- oil-- -- ummm... What was that Mr. President? So, I can sell a candle in which a customer will be meditating with and saying prayers over, but potions are banned. Here's a list of what is banned, according to the new seller guide. http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/news/fallupdate2012/categoryupdates.html
May the dogs of hell devour eBay for putting many sellers in a jam and hindering their livelihoods.

Seeker of Knowledge and Understanding
Of course I know I do not need to answer to a human soul my purpose in life, but this keeps coming to my attention so, as much as I am against entertaining the little minds, here we go, just to get this out in the open in case there is any other questions and confusions.
An Occultist is a person who studies the Occult, from the scientific to the mystical points of all occult forms of spirituality and religions. I am an Occultist.
Mysticism is defined = "The term ‘mysticism,’ comes from the Greek μυω, meaning “to conceal.” In the Hellenistic world, ‘mystical’ referred to “secret” religious rituals. In early Christianity the term came to refer to “hidden” allegorical interpretations of Scriptures and to hidden presences, such as that of Jesus at the Eucharist. Only later did the term begin to denote “mystical theology,” that included direct experience of the divine (See Bouyer, 1981). Typically, mystics, theistic or not, see their mystical experience as part of a larger undertaking aimed at human transformation (See, for example, Teresa of Avila, Life, Chapter 19) and not as the terminus of their efforts. Thus, in general, ‘mysticism’ would best be thought of as a constellation of distinctive practices, discourses, texts, institutions, traditions, and experiences aimed at human transformation, variously defined in different traditions. Under the influence of William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience, heavily centered on people's conversion experiences, most philosophers' interest in mysticism has been in distinctive, allegedly knowledge-granting “mystical experiences.” Philosophers have focused on such topics as the classification of mystical experiences, their nature in different religions and mystical traditions, to what extent mystical experiences are conditioned by a mystic's language and culture, and whether mystical experiences furnish evidence for the truth of their contents. Some philosophers have begun to question the emphasis on experience in favor of examining the entire mystical complex (See Jantzen, 1994 and 1995, and section 9 below, and Turner, 1996). Since this article pertains to mysticism and philosophy, it will concentrate chiefly on topics philosophers have discussed concerning mystical experience."~ The rest can catch you up here: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mysticism/
Now, I also study mysticism. Occult and mystic mysteries can include Christianity branches of all lineages to African and Asian religions and everything in between.
I am a Spiritual person, always have been since I can remember at the age of around 11 or 12. For the occultist mind, there is no knowledge out there that is untouchable. The mysteries in the world are available to us all at any point in our life. IS this wrong to be a seeker of knowledge and understanding? No. For the ones who are shut off and led as sheep with blind faith, yes. That is too bad for them, to not be able to be a free thinker, and have a philosophical way of thinking about the world and the self. To seek knowledge and understanding and use what nature gave us, a brain, and the ability to utilize and connect with all creatures and cultures of the world; how is this anything BUT right and natural? Every culture has their own understanding and secrets of the world defined. In essence, it is but all the same answer to the mysteries of the universe and the mysteries of the human soul. What is different are the practices, the beliefs vary slightly, but in essence, they have the same message. The universe is but a melting pot of cultures, not one is better than the other, to think otherwise is to be a righteous narcissistic being. This is not me, anyone who knows me and has known me, knows what I am, a compassionate, loving, protecting soul. Nothing more, nothing less. I do what is necessary to fulfill these duties of mine, to love and to protect those dear to me. To teach the same to all my clients who come to me as well. I don't preach that I know everything nor am I a guru. Of course not, in life we learn till our Death. I don't deny that I know my stuff well, and I understand the human soul and mind more than majority of those in the human race WHO ARE ASLEEP. Anyone can work hard like I have to fine tune these skills of "understanding". I can tell you that I was taught very well from my family to pay close attention to what my gut instinct says about someone when I meet them. People are easy to figure out, they repeat the same patterns that most people do that I have met in previous times. People are predictable when you have studied psychology and philosophy as long as I have. It was always my interest as a young teenager to study these things that make a person tick, what drives the human soul, the human ego, and their actions. I have met and counseled many people in life to be free from what bonds their souls. And I have raised three great children to pay attention to what they feel, believe what they feel, trust their instincts, don't follow, but lead, be an individual, think and know for themselves what is real, who is loyal, who is faithful, who loves them unconditionally, who raises them up, not brings them down, these are the things in life that are important. They will each find one day their purpose in life, and they will have my support 100%, as long as they are happy individuals, not abusive, uphold their morals to treating everyone the best they can. I trust that they will. I will not belittle my children, tell them not to be happy, or abandon their emotional needs like some parents have done. The damage can not be undone for many abused children and adults, especially when the abuse continues into adulthood. Like I have said before, my success in life is my proof. I have nothing to hide, nothing to fear, I have done no wrong. I only wish for others to leave people in life to live and express how they need to. We are free to make our choices in life, how we choose fit, whether it is our lifestyle, our beliefs, our actions, it's our choice, we are free. There will always be others who are afraid of the truth and feel threatened by your happiness and content that they will try to turn the coin on you and bring you down. Take the opportunity to rise above their pitiful attempts.

What is real and what is false
Oh for peet's sake. Just because you didn't see it or witness it or live it personally, doesn't mean it didn't happen. However, you can choose to live in a box if you'd like, but when people experience real life, hard times, and other life altering moments, these are their experiences in which we have no say over what they are, who they have become, nor it does not give you the right to impede your opinions of their life onto them or any others. Some people choose to live in a box, it's safe for them. It is too painful for them to see the truth nor admit to the truth. The moment someone speaks of the truth, they whip out their firing guns to prove what? That the truth should be kept bottled up because it's painful to hear and acknowledge?
Some people are fighting a battle where there will never be a winning side. What is done is done, the past can't be changed, it's time to move forward, let people heal. To keep wallowing in the past, it solves nothing. You will never heal. For all the pain that that little person inside suffered, they deserve peace and quiet, not some ignorant rambling of what they think happened to that person. You can very well live in the same household and one child experience abuse while the other doesn't. I have seen it, I have heard of it, not just by this one person, but by several. That's what makes a family secret a secret. You might have gotten glimpses of some shady stuff going on, but you can't dismiss it when not just one but several people speak up about it in that family. What so now, all of them are liars or are they a family on the opposite end of the delusion from where you sit? Hmmm... Now let's think logic here. Go to school, or do some online research of abuse in families, and then come back and argue with me about what real knowledge you learned. Abuse in families are very deep, they run through layers of the psychological, physical, emotional, and mental planes. For every action you take, you don't realize how much you show your crazy side to the world. What real justification do you actually have in the taking the steps to doing some of the outlandish obsessive behaviors you have done and probably will continue to do? None, absolutely none.
