Hello Ms. Q,
"why do we use coins?"
I know,----why do we use coins? There are many reasons for that, one is to "purchase" something spiritual ie graveyard dirt, or to barter with, or to ground or anchor with, such as using it with railroad spikes.
But the use of coins is much, much older.
Here in the States we use either Mercury Dimes or Indian Head pennies, either silver or copper as these are underground metals and are used in the construction of magical materials.
If you are going to use silver or copper coins it is best to buy what coin dealers call "sliders" these are coins so worn down that its difficult to see or read their markings and as a collectible coin almost worthless except for the metal (silver/copper) content. So I would buy "sliders".
Now if this is a foreign country it still has to be a coin with silver/copper content but the image has to be different, such as a solider or famous military person or a powerful symbol, such as the Mexican peso with the image of the eagle and the snake, one has to apply a symbol for the type of power one wants to generate for whatever type of use.
There is a lot more to this but I'll have to again "dig" through my books and notes of what my Granny said about coins.
I'll post on that in greater depth later.

Can candles be just white??
Hello Ms. Q,
"Why do we use candles of certain colors?"
I know. There has been a very big deal on using certain color candles to do candle magic. But this is a modern invention especially when it was discovered how to put dye into candles.
Even the Bay Berry Candle in it's natural state is whitish but with a slight green tinge, a true bayberry candle is made from the wax on the berries of that tree, and is used for money or prosperity rituals but was time consuming to make and expensive to buy. Even in the 1940's most candles were white, either from beeswax or paraffin, the common ones were paraffin while bees wax was used for churches and religious uses.
In the late 1930's novelty candles slowly developed but they would have a wax color coating and not be the same color all the way through, for example around Christmas especially in the 1950's you'd fine these cute choir boy candles but when they melted it would be mostly white with just the thin color wax coating, this was to save money as the dyes were at that time expensive and especially during World War II color candles were rare, one used only the basic white candles if the lights when out in emergencies or blackout conditions.
I asked my Granny one time about using color candles and she said to me that it was silly really, because in her day the candles would be white and you'd carve symbols on them to represent what you wish was. But the symbols had to be something that you constantly referred to in your magical workings, the most obvious is the Dollar sign $ for money, or drawing a heart for love. Sticking pins or square nails into a candle with the name of one's victim carved on it and then lighting the candle and letting it burn down as the nails would drop out one by one, so that the victim would waste away was another form of candle ritual magic.
But using color candles was out of the price range for most folks and it was not unusual to buy plain white candles in her day. She knew of some people who'd make their own candles, simple pain molds were easy and they would mix into the wax either bits of pine needles for prosperity, bits of red paper or thread or cloths for love, black for hexing, blue cloth for peace, a few items from the victim into the wax like hair or nail clippings, blood was always good, but hard to obtain for hexing again.
As a child when she was growing up it was not unusual to make one's own candles even if Kerosene was available sometimes it would be expensive or inconvenient to buy so using candles was perfectly acceptable.
But usually they would carve into it what they wanted because it intensified the ritual.
Now a days its easy to buy color candles in grocery stores and the inexpensive dollar stores, most of the time they will have a saints picture on it, and the glass enclosed ones are safest, you can use either the small hobby paint to paint symbols on the glass, like the stuff to paint model cars, but with all the different color nail polish that's out there, it is not unusual to use nail polish to paint symbols onto the glass.
The bottom line is this---If all you can find is a white candle then use the white candle and it will be just as effective, it is really your intent and the strength of your energy to put into the ritual that carries it as well as the strength of your focus.
But the one thing my Granny cautioned is never take a used candle to do a ritual. If you have a half used candle for a love ritual and you plan to use it in a hex ritual it won't work and will backfire on you and negate the previous ritual.
Any candle that is used for a ritual should burn down to the bottom, then take what is left over and dispose of it, most people say bury it, but if it's a glass enclosed candle, just recycle the glass, the heat of the recycling process will burn away any residual effects. But each type of ritual or spell has different means of disposing the remaining workings.
I will research this through my notes and post that at a later time. But for now, if all you've got are white candles---go ahead and use them.
Blessings, Ms. Q

Railroad spikes as protection~~~
Hello Everyone,
This has been a very popular question:
Dear Ms. Q,
"I've seen used Railroad spikes sold in metaphysical shops and botanicas. What is their purpose?"
Rail Road spikes, I know, of what use is rail road spikes, well they are excellent for protection primarily.
Of course if you live in an apartment hammering rail road spikes into the floor would make the tenants and the landlord very unhappy, but there is an alternative for that, but let’s start with standard rail road spikes.
Now a days you can go on line and buy railroad spikes, they have been used and removed from the tracks as the tracks were repaired so those that are found are the best.
If you are walking along a rail road line (and be very careful that you are very alert for any trains) and you find discarded rail road spikes that would be perfect. Never remove any spikes from any rail road line that is illegal and dangerous both to you and the train and its staff and passengers. Avoid trapping yourself in an area where you do not have any means of escape from harm, so don’t walk over any bridges or anything like that.
The easiest of course, is to buy the spikes and that does not make them any less effective in magical working, they are just as effective just less dangerous for you to collect, unless you have a friend who works on the railroad, then I would say “Jack Pot!”
If you own a house or are even renting a house you can “nail” the property down to keep any evil energies out, and if you own your house you can “nail” the property to avoid as much as possible foreclosure.
First figure out the configuration of your property, if it’s the usual rectangle or square then that is easy.
If the lot is an odd shape then figure out the shape looking for corners were the property lines meet. If your property is fenced in that makes it very easy, but if it’s not, then determine what is your property line, with all the corners including the front part of your property that will tell you the number of spikes you will need plus the number of silver coins or Indian head pennies---
A slight digression here, some methods suggest using dimes since you are buying the services of a spirit although some methods suggest using Indian head pennies because then you can call upon the power of the Native America peoples who lived in America first to act as scouts and as your first wards of protection.
Once you’ve figured out the number of spikes and coins then use the Fiery Protection Oil. Dress or coat each of the railroad spikes with this oil, rubbing it onto each spike from the butt toward the point. So rub the oil in one direction only, from the top or rounded end and then stroke downwards only toward the pointed end. As you do this, pray over the spike as you dress it for God to protect your home, keep your feet firmly planted in that property and to defend you from anyone that would seek to remove you from that property or harm you and your property and anyone who lives with you on that property. You finish with praying Psalm 23, Psalm 18 and Psalm 1 over all the spikes and coins.
Now hammer one spike down at each corner of your property. Try to place it at
the perimeter of the land so that you can secure ALL of your land, but if you
can’t, then make sure to at least place the railroad spikes in the ground
outside the four corners of your home. Pound them into the ground as you pray
and make sure to get them down below the level of the earth so they are not
visible.
Make sure you are not driving the spikes into any gas, water, sewer or electric lines, now once the spikes are below the ground place the coin on top of the spike and cover it with graveyard dirt that you have “purchased” from the grave of a family member, preferably one who served in the military and have asked to secure your home, then traditionally one is suppose to urinate on each spike after it has been driven in the ground however that can be difficult especially if your property is in plain public view, so have a jar of your urine on had and pour some on each spike after it’s been nailed into the ground, it works the same way an animal marks it’s territory.
Your home is now secured.
Now some people ask why railroad spikes, well they are made out of iron and cold iron is one of the best things to keep away negative energies. Iron is a powerful magical substance that works to ground or earth approaching energy. Any negative magic launched at the home would be earthed into the ground as it tried to cross the railroad spikes.
As a matter of fact many old time cemeteries use to have Iron gates and fences in the belief that any restless spirit buried in the graveyard would remain there for they cannot cross a line made of iron. In some old cemeteries or graveyards you might see either a simple or complicated designed fences around individual or family grave sites.
Some witches and magicians would have either staffs or wands that would be tipped or banded with iron. I saw in one woman’s home in her basement several magical circles to contain any energies that would be invoked. The basement was where she had her magical altars and other things for her work, but she had to have a separate room built down there to contain the hot-water heater and washer and dryer so that they would not not be interfered with, and she spiked them to prevent any thing from “fiddling” with her “laundry” room.
Now if you live in a town house, condo or apartment using railroad spikes is not as easy, so find the 4 farthest outside reaches of your unit, then get 4 square cut nails, not round top nails they must be square cut nails.
Dress them and pray over them as if they were spikes, cover them briefly with the graveyard dirt then remove them from the dirt and then drop them into a shallow dish of your urine and then nail them into the baseboards of your unit and it will work the same way.
Now if you are going to sell your property since this will be a move of your choice that will be different, once the sale is done, find your spikes and remove them from the property, and take them with you to use at your next location, re-energizing them and re-purchasing the graveyard dirt for your new location.
If you are living in a unit where you did this with the square cut nails, leave the nails there but inform your spirit whose services you purchased that their work is done and they can leave until you request their services again. Wait until after you’ve had the final walk through with your landlord to inform the spirit and make sure your unit is thoroughly clean by that time.
I've known some people who use railroad spikes as door stops to hold their doors open, but then they have them placed very close to the door as well to negate any negative energies from crossing the threshold. I even have one placed in my fireplace since I consider the chimney as another entrance for energies, I keep it there even when I'm burning a fire in the fire place and then when the ashes are cold I swept them out but leave the spike there, and during the warm months it remains there as well.
I know of one person who lives in an R.V. (recreational vehicle) and keeps a railroad spike next to the doorway, and has several extra with dimes soldered to their sides when he sets up his vehicle where he's going to camp he hammers them into the ground but keeps them above ground and just ties down his awnings with them, it works as a disguise and protects at the same time, after he's tied his awnings down he pours a little of his urine on the spikes each time he sets up camp.
When he leaves the last thing he packs away is the awnings and ropes pulls up the spikes and puts them in a special box, another thing he does with the spikes is tie a red cloth to the tops of the spikes as added protection both spiritual and physical that way he won't forget any of them.
There are other things one can use the railroad spikes for, as I come across them I'll post it.

An alternative for Graveyard Dirt~~~~
Hello Ms. Q,
Yes there is an alternate way to collect graveyard dirt, granted its not nearly as effective, but it does work.
Potted plants, yes potted plants. Purchase some inexpensive potted plants or get plastic pots and grow flower seeds in them with clean potting soil, marigolds are the easiest. They are also considered the flowers of the dead.
Take the blooming plants any time during the spring, entering the cemetery or graveyard by means of the procedures that I have given you and then go to the grave that you wish to purchase the services.
This works best with elevated headstones, the ones that are flush with the ground do not work well for this procedure.
Place the blooming pot on the ledge of the headstone and ask the spirit of the person you wish to assist you to infuse their energy into the dirt in the pot of blooming flowers, plant a silver coin in the dirt on the grave, leave the potted plant until either end of Summer, early Fall. Many grounds keepers will not disturb a pot that in put into the holding cup of an elevated head stone since it is off the actual ground and there for easier to cut the grass.
When you go back to collect the pot label it with the name of the person, dates of birth and death and name of cemetery and purpose. The plant material should be very dry by now and can be used as well as the dirt,
for magikal purposes. You can keep the pots in a small portable potting shed outside, I've seen wire ones with clear plastic covers. You can have it in your patio or balcony if you live in an apartment. Then you can use that dirt following the procedures and times to collect the dirt as if you were going to the graveyard.
Now one of the ladies that my Granny use to know would do that because it was hard for her to go to a cemetery but she could go at least twice or 4 times a year before the hard winter sets in, so she'd do that.
But she'd vary the flowers, marigolds for hexing, violets for peace and love, those small miniature roses for breakups or disturbances or getting rid of someone, snapdragons to affect a man's love in a negative way, baby's breath for harmony, you get the idea, but she'd leave the plants in their pots there at the graveyard, she would not water them, they had to become dry and be part of the soil, infused with the spirit, and then at the right time with the right gifts she'd buy the dirt from those pots. And it seemed to work.
But to make sure that the spirits would not follow her into her house until she was ready to do her magik she'd plant "hen and chicks around the potting shed and have that large pot with lots of pebbles as well, no salt because of the plants and she'd also have two more of those pots one at the back door and one at the front door with small pebbles and salt. But she'd plant Hen and Chicks along her walk ways to both doors. That way the spirits couldn't come in uninvited.
She'd also use that potting shed to start more seedlings for more pots as it became time to need more dirt.
And she'd always seemed successful in her workings, so this is an alternative to do.
But don't be disappointed if the pots that you leave in the spring are missing in the fall, it just means that the grounds keepers are doing a very serious job of cleaning. Keep trying until you succeed.
For now that is all that I know about graveyard dirt.
My next posts will be about the use of railroad spikes.

Full proceedures to gather Graveyard Dirt~~~
Hello Ms. Q,
Well I’ve given you a lot of the basic premise for Graveyard Dirt, now I’m going to put it together as a whole.
First you now know that Graveyard Dirt is really dirt, not Mullin or anything else.
Next decide the type of spell that you need to do for the situation that demands it.
Then the type of grave to use, and if you have free access to a graveyard, the time to gather it. If you do not have free access then as close to Sundown as possible without raising suspicion, but then you need to know if it’s a full moon that night or a dark or a new moon. So consult your Astrological calendar.
The next thing to decide on is the location on the grave to gather the dirt. For most spells taking it from the head is usual, from the heart for love, from the feet for domination.
Next is putting together your “kit”, that which you’ll need to gather the dirt, coins both silver or copper, 9 copper coins for the spiritual gatekeeper (more on that in a bit), maybe a small bottle of whisky, a little tobacco (depends on what will work best for offerings but you have to have those coins because you are buying services, if you’re taking it from a baby’s or small child’s grave then add a bit of candy or a small stuff toy to put on the grave) your bottles, labels and pens, small hand garden shovel, flowers either cut or in a pot as both an extra offering as well as a cover up, if it’s getting dark then a tea light incased in a clean clear glass jar to light up the area, plus something to light it with, gloves (simple cloth garden gloves works well, but if you’re in an area where there’s dangerous animals, insects then leather)
Have something to carry this stuff in, a tote bag or small duffel bag.
Most cemeteries one can drive through, but if there is parking outside, park out side first, go to the gate way entrance of the graveyard/cemetery stand to one side to allow other cars to go through but then ask silently for permission from the spiritual guardian of the cemetery to enter to do your work, once you feel the permission has been granted, put 9 copper coins (pennies)next to the gate in a place where it’s not easily seen, and then either walk or drive into the cemetery, if there is no parking outside, then drive just inside the gate get out of the car being careful to not block the entrance and ask permission.
Then send out the meditation energies to the grave you’ve selected earlier, when you approach it do not dig yet, ask permission silently or softly if you can “purchase” their services and state the reason, then listen for their response, if it’s yes see if you can sense what they may want as payment in addition to the coin, if they were a drinker or smoker the whiskey and tobacco can be an addition plus the flowers, but if they were a family member and female, maybe a little candy with the coin and the flowers, although there were some female members of my family that liked a little wine.
Those small bottles that one finds for air lines work real well.
If they say no, then send out a “message” to one that might be receptive, you will almost always get a response or a grave will send out an energy and draw you to them.
Then gather the dirt from the correct area, if there is soft sod or grass, remove it as a plug to put back after you’ve gather the dirt from underneath, then drop the silver dime or if they also request any copper pennies, into the hole in payment for the dirt, thank the spirit and say "As I have paid you in silver, so shall you pay me in labor!" you can then pour the whiskey or wine or candy into the hole, and replace the plug of sod to cover the hole.
Now comes a bit of “book keeping”, write down the name, birth and death dates of the grave as well as the cemetery on a piece of paper or label and affix it to the bag or jar. Hold the bag or bottle of dirt in your hand and pray hard for the spirit of the grave to come with you, that there is work to do, and that it is through this work that their spirit will be elevated and redeemed. This is especially good if it is to correct an injustice.
Place the flowers at the grave and even on the grave next to it just in case.
Leave the grave knowing that you have that spirit's assistance and its power in the grave's dirt. Don't look back. Leave the cemetery and go home by a different route than the one you came by otherwise more than just that spirit will come with you, at the gate turn around three times (if you’re walking) or get out of your car and do that, it confuses any spirits that might decide to attach themselves to you. Sometimes sprinkling a little sea salt on the bottom of the car’s door frame or on the driver’s side mat helps, or a pinch of salt (if you’re walking) drop behind you as you exit.
Then go home, before you enter your house, turn around three times, make it look like you are just checking things out like anything around the outside of your home or the neighborhood. Be subtle. This is to also confuse the spirits in case any of them decided or are able to circumvent the gates of the cemetery, also have outside next to your front door a pot with a lot of small pebbles and sea salt, add another pebble to it before you enter, spirits will have a compulsion to want to try and count what is inside the pot, and if they try and are still there by sunrise they are forced to return to the cemetery.
A small planter with a succulent plant nick-named “Hen and Chicks” also works well to keep spirits and evil beings out side of your home, if you live where there is a lot of frost or snow, bring it just inside the door and protect it from the cold, as this is a plant that does well in milder climates like Italy or California, Arizona, Portugal, Spain, Mexico places like that.
Then start preparing the dirt, yes Ms. Q the dirt needs to be prepared, there are two ways to dry the dirt out, one is to tie the dirt up one bottle’s worth at a time so you don’t confuse or mix up the dirt, in an old tea shirt or old cotton dish towel, so the dirt will dry out. Another method which is good if you’ve only collected a small amount is to lay out the dirt on a piece of foil to thoroughly dry out.
Once it’s dry (and do this next step outside or if you’re doing it inside wear a mask to not breath in the dust) sift the dirt into fine grains, larger clumps or bits of rocks/pebbles, tiny roots, any dead bugs, any live ones or worms (this is if you dig very deep) that you find, put into a jar and release at the nearest open field (even a school or park baseball or football field) and release them.
The dirt that is either fine dust, clumps, rocks/pebbles, roots, dead bugs, keep those but put them into separate jars or bags but with the same name on the label, keep a list or notebook of whom you gathered dirt from and for what purpose, each part of it can be used depending on the spell or if you are making a mojo bag or packet. Another way to store the dirt is in a small paper bag or a zip lock baggie with the name, birth and death dates and name of cemetery on it.
Every time you use the dirt, call the spirit by name and command it to assist you with your work by the contract you and the spirit made in the cemetery.
Some other examples of graves to use in magical purposes are these:
Using the graveyard dirt of a lawyer to win a court case
Using the graveyard dirt of a detective or police officer to expose a rapist
Using the graveyard dirt of a dockworker, carpenter etc. to get steady employment that’s if you are a blue collar worker, a white collar worker is for more “office” work
Using your grandma's graveyard dirt to get your perfect mate
Using graveyard dirt from a doctor to help you overcome illness
Another option is to use dirt from the grave of someone who you may not have personally known but is generally known to you by reputation, like dirt from a famous writer’s grave for creative inspiration, dirt from a wealthy person for prosperity spells.
And then there are other dirt’s a person might consider collecting although some I would not recommend:
Mentally Disturbed / Insane person : To cause insanity, mental instability, etc.
WARNING: When collecting this dirt, do remember that you're dealing with the spirit of someone who was obviously mentally disturbed. This can backlash upon you.
Murderer / Killer : The older the dirt, the better in this case. Dirt from the grave of someone who has taken human life can be extremely powerful in matters of revenge and causing harm. Especially if the person was hung by the neck.
WARNING: Do be aware that incorporating this type of dirt into your magikal practices can even cause DEATH! And like the insane person can be an instable energy to work with.
A Murdered person: This dirt is very useful in matters of injustice or wrong-doing.
Nun / Priest / Pastor: Used in situations where spiritual guidance and spiritual protection are needed. However some people will unscrupulously use this to present or to convey the appearance of goodness and innocence to the outside world. This is a type of glamour or glamoury spell and it cannot hold up against someone who is truly good.
There are other types of dirt that is gathered for other purposes that are not from graves, I will cover those in my next post, as well as an alternative way of getting graveyard dirt and although not quiet as powerful it still can be very effective. I will post that as my final post on Graveyard dirt in my next posting. After that I will post about railroad spikes and their uses.
So one more post on Graveyard dirt.
Blessings Ms. Q
Well I’ve given you a lot of the basic premise for Graveyard Dirt, now I’m going to put it together as a whole.
First you now know that Graveyard Dirt is really dirt, not Mullin or anything else.
Next decide the type of spell that you need to do for the situation that demands it.
Then the type of grave to use, and if you have free access to a graveyard, the time to gather it. If you do not have free access then as close to Sundown as possible without raising suspicion, but then you need to know if it’s a full moon that night or a dark or a new moon. So consult your Astrological calendar.
The next thing to decide on is the location on the grave to gather the dirt. For most spells taking it from the head is usual, from the heart for love, from the feet for domination.
Next is putting together your “kit”, that which you’ll need to gather the dirt, coins both silver or copper, 9 copper coins for the spiritual gatekeeper (more on that in a bit), maybe a small bottle of whisky, a little tobacco (depends on what will work best for offerings but you have to have those coins because you are buying services, if you’re taking it from a baby’s or small child’s grave then add a bit of candy or a small stuff toy to put on the grave) your bottles, labels and pens, small hand garden shovel, flowers either cut or in a pot as both an extra offering as well as a cover up, if it’s getting dark then a tea light incased in a clean clear glass jar to light up the area, plus something to light it with, gloves (simple cloth garden gloves works well, but if you’re in an area where there’s dangerous animals, insects then leather)
Have something to carry this stuff in, a tote bag or small duffel bag.
Most cemeteries one can drive through, but if there is parking outside, park out side first, go to the gate way entrance of the graveyard/cemetery stand to one side to allow other cars to go through but then ask silently for permission from the spiritual guardian of the cemetery to enter to do your work, once you feel the permission has been granted, put 9 copper coins (pennies)next to the gate in a place where it’s not easily seen, and then either walk or drive into the cemetery, if there is no parking outside, then drive just inside the gate get out of the car being careful to not block the entrance and ask permission.
Then send out the meditation energies to the grave you’ve selected earlier, when you approach it do not dig yet, ask permission silently or softly if you can “purchase” their services and state the reason, then listen for their response, if it’s yes see if you can sense what they may want as payment in addition to the coin, if they were a drinker or smoker the whiskey and tobacco can be an addition plus the flowers, but if they were a family member and female, maybe a little candy with the coin and the flowers, although there were some female members of my family that liked a little wine.
Those small bottles that one finds for air lines work real well.
If they say no, then send out a “message” to one that might be receptive, you will almost always get a response or a grave will send out an energy and draw you to them.
Then gather the dirt from the correct area, if there is soft sod or grass, remove it as a plug to put back after you’ve gather the dirt from underneath, then drop the silver dime or if they also request any copper pennies, into the hole in payment for the dirt, thank the spirit and say "As I have paid you in silver, so shall you pay me in labor!" you can then pour the whiskey or wine or candy into the hole, and replace the plug of sod to cover the hole.

Films You Should Watch and a book~~~~
Dear Ms. Q,
"I watch a lot of movies are there any that you like that show what doing the work is like?"
Yes, let me be more specific, there are two movies that I strongly recommend you watch. Granted, compared to today's over exagerated films like "Paranormal Activity" they may seem tame, but they are by far very, very accurate on how the paranormal energies really work, and should be taken far more seriously, than more recently films.
The one with Dana Andrews was filmed in 1957, the British Title was “Night of the Demon” the American Title is “Curse of the Demon” but I recommend watching the longer British version because the American release removed several important key scenes, the British version runs close to 96 minutes. The edited American release is only 81 minutes.
What I liked about the film is the power of the energies, and how the principal character as played by Dana Andrews senses something just beyond one’s own senses, which is how most magical works feel. The seance scene is also excellent as I have attended seances very much like that.
The 2nd British film stars Peter Wyngard and Janet Blair and was filmed in 1962, the British title is “Night of the Eagle” the American title is more dramatic “Burn, Witch, Burn”. In one of the scenes the hero comes across some bottles filled with dirt with names on the labels, and it’s much like that.
The one thing that I dis-like about “Night of the Demon” is showing the Demon in the beginning and end of the movie, originally the Demon was only suppose to be suggested and never shown, it would have been a far better movie if it had been filmed that way, in fact if I was to do the picture today but have it set in the late 1950’s I would eliminate showing the demon and leave it up to the audience.
There are some scenes that slightly exaggerate magical workings more for dramatic effect, but I have seen things that happen very close to what is shown in the movie.
With the other film “Burn, Witch, Burn” look for the longer British version under it’s own title “Night of the Eagle” again some sequences are done for dramatic effect but in principal especially with negative workings it can be close to that and it can have the same backlash, that is why doing negative workings can be dangerous.
The principals that Fritz Limber outlines in his fictional work “Conjure Wife”, that the movie "Burn, Witch, Burn" is based upon, that is all magical workings have a formula, but he presents it as a mathematical formula to find the basic principals is essentially correct, one has to find out what will work for you, meditation and study and comparison of various spells can help one find one that will work best for a person depending upon the magic to be done. I do recommend getting the book for your own library as well as the films. I believe the book is available in paperback.
Oh and in one part of my previous post it says “Sulfur and sales” it’s suppose to be “Sulfur and salt” I would use iodized salt as a last resort, and prefer to use either sea salt or kosher salt. Some times I could curse “spell correct”.
If you can find the 1940’s film version of “Conjure Wife” with Lon Chaney, Jr. it was titled “Weird Woman” it drifts from the original story but is fun entertainment as well, especially to see how film handles this subject matter from decade to decade.
I need to work a little longer on my next part on the subject of Graveyard Dirt, so I may take a few days, keep checking the blog dear reader.

The Times to "Purchase" Graveyard Dirt~~
Dear Ms. Q,
"Is there a certain time or moon phase to purchase Graveyard dirt?"
I was taught this many years ago by both my Grandmother as well as two of her friends who came from the South, so some of what I learned is from those areas and some is what my Grandmother was taught as well.
I've seen people who have posted around and they have learned either from their mentors or have read it in a Folklore Book by a man names Hyatt.
So much of it still hold true, it worked then it still works now.
I recommend that you read a book by Fritz Lieber titled "Conjure Wife" it was made into two movies one in the 1940's with Lon Chaney jr. titled "Wierd Woman", the other film done in the late 50's early 60's titled "Burn Witch Burn", although fiction and film, the premise on which they are based is correct and older than time.
As a matter of fact I recommend watching as a "double feature" the two British made movies "Burn Witch Burn" aka "Night of the Eagle" and "Night of the Demon" aka "Curse of the Demon" starring Dana Andrews, both were done in the late 50's early 60's look for the longer time versions of these two films as the American released edited out some scenes. It's amazing how these had all the spiritual information almost correct, and not over exaggerated either, but very close to how magic would work. Although some scene's I feel were over played for dramatic effect.
The Timing to obtain the dirt is also important, most of the old graveyards are some what accessible but because of vandalism many cemeteries have guards to prevent as much as possible such desecration.
I give you these times for your own information and if you are able to gain the trust of a caretaker or grounds keeper to be able to have access to such locations, but sometimes you maybe lucky to find such a place.
Now in a number of regions of the United States you have to be careful in old graveyards and cemeteries at night not only because of trespassing, but also because of poisonous snakes, this is especially true in the West, Southwest, and in the South due to Rattlesnakes, Coral Snakes, Cottenmouths and Copperheads, just to name a few.
There are also scorpions, Black Widow Spiders and the deadly Brown Recluse Spiders again just to name a few, also poison oak and poison ivy.
Check to find out what kind of dangerous, venomous insects and reptiles could be lurking among the old grave sites, wear thick leather gloves, boots that are mid calf, long sleeves, high turtle necks and a head covering to keep them out of your hair, carry your offerings, your jars, labels and pens to write on the labels, as well as a small handheld garden shovel in a carry bag, include flowers as well. Take also a long stick or cane to ward off snakes and such.
If you think you've come in contact with poison oak or ivy, remove your clothing as soon as you get home, wash it in hot water and take a shower immediately.
Now you might get lucky and find an old urban cemetery that doesn’t have as many problems that I have named, otherwise find out when the cemetery closes its gates, usually its at Sundown, however as the days get longer and twilight is lengthened that will give you a certain advantage.
If you live in Europe, in Asia, more rural Canada, in any of the South American States anywhere Mexico and further South again exercise caution both physically and legally.
If you live in New Orleans or plan to go there---DO NOT take any dirt from anywhere around Marie Laveaus’s tomb, you would be inviting very serious trouble upon yourself, only a properly “crowned” voodoo, hoodoo practitioner can do that. Do not think that because you maybe proficient in magikal workings that you can, trust me it is dangerous.
Alright with that out of the way, let me give you the times to collect the dirt and some possible alternatives.
9 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT-NORTH SIDE OF THE GRAVEYARD
Go to the graveyard at nine o'clock at night, and get some dirt out of a grave on the north side of the cemetery. If there is a man or woman you want and they are married or living together, gathering this dirt, can be used to breakup the relationship.
But be careful as how this is used it could cause a serious possibly deadly illness.
Another purpose would also to get rid of someone out of your life, but it would have to be placed near where they sleep, like under their mattress again use with caution and again it depends on from whose grave you gather this from.
MIDNIGHT
Gathering dirt at this time also depends upon the type of luck or success you need, such as getting that break in acting or the music business or even getting a job, again it depends on whose grave you get it from. When you have gathered this dirt do the ritual for luck or success, put this dirt into very tiny bags and wear it around your waist, you could sew it or pin it on what you wear to an interview. Be sure that it cannot be seen, some people will sew it up in a small green flannel packet. Green for prosperity.
You may not have the luck all the time as there could be other factors but you will be more successful than not.
MIDNIGHT-NO MOON SHINING
Gathering dirt at the dark of the Moon is mostly for doing harm or wishing ill or bad luck, it is said if you want a person to have bad luck you toss the dirt at the person, without anything else, it doesn’t have to hit them, it can be just a very small amount, you can even add glitter to it like as if you’re at a party or club and they won’t suspect.
Prepare the dirt first with a hexing ritual, and then when you’ve done it they will never be successful in any undertaking. I’ve known one person who did this and they used black glitter and since it was a Halloween party they mixed black bat glitter (black glitter in the shape of bats) with their dirt, they tossed it on the person’s head and since that person was drinking and it was a noisy, fun party with dancing the person wasn’t aware of it.
The person who was Hexed by this method I knew to be unscrupulous and devious in their business dealings, he went down hill fast.
This could also be used if you know of someone who has done criminal activity then they could be arrested and in jail, just don’t be around them ever again after you do this act, because you don’t want to be arrested either.
(Do not do this indiscriminately, if you do this out of jealousy you could have it backlash to you)
NEW MOON - INNOCENTS GRAVE
A New Moon as compared to a Dark Moon is just when the tiniest bit of moon is showing just barely a sliver or by using a good Astrological Calendar set for your location that will tell you when the new moon is, usually 3 days before the new moon is the true dark phase.
An innocents’ grave is usually a baby’s grave or very small toddler, it is believed that using dirt from this grave the spirit is more compliant to do as you request, but just as any 2 year old they can say “no”.
There are two ways to use dirt gathered at this time, if you have someone who is always running around, leaving your home and just going off or if you want to go off and do something and don’t want anyone asking you or bothering you about where you are going.
If this person is running around you get this dirt add sulfur and salt (sea or kosher salt) and when they are about to leave but they are out of their room toss some into their room, then when they go out the door toss some after them saying you do this in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit, and ask them to bring this person back.
But if you want to leave and not be bothered you do the same thing but toss the dirt in front of you as you leave saying in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit that you want to leave and not be bothered by anyone and then you can go anywhere you want.
But as with anything, this can have dire consequences, if you are going to get into trouble, it will hurt you in the worse possible way, but if you are leaving a person who has abused you and not because you’re mad at your parents, then it will clear the path.
FULL MOON-DIRT FROM A FRESH GRAVE TO BRING IN CUSTOMERS
If you have a business or shop, either working from your home or a brick and mortar store during the full moon gather the dirt from the grave of a business man (successful) especially one who has recently passed away, you mix the dirt from the fresh grave with sulpher and red pepper and bury it under the step of your shop, now considering that most places have steps or walk ways that are concrete place it under the welcome mat in a small flat brown envelop or packet that you can make yourself, or if you are working from home that is you have an internet business place it under your computer, this is suppose to bring in customers/persons to your business or shop.
ONE O'CLOCK IN MORNING
Again choosing the right kind of grave, gathering it at this time will help you make someone you don’t want in the neighborhood to move. You get the dirt, do the correct ritual, sprinkle it on their porch or in front of their doorway walking backwards to make them move.
4 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
This one is very difficult to work with so you have to work with it very carefully. It is used to get rid of someone out of your home or if you rent to get the person out of the room they are renting or to cease having someone be a friend, perhaps they might have in some way betrayed you and you want them to no longer come into your home, you no longer want anything to do with them.
Go to the graveyard around four in the morning and buy 2 ounces worth of graveyard dirt equal to 3 pennies. And sprinkle it around the house, all around and be prepared to sweep out the doorway behind them after they leave, make sure that you sweep the dirt from the doorway completely outside of the house. That will get them to move.
Sweeping graveyard dirt is both an uncommon and dangerous rite. The person that wants to get rid of an unwelcome renter or friend, sprinkles graveyard dirt about the house on the outside, leaving themselves with all entries that is dirty with the dirt except one. Coming indoors the person closes the door that does not have the graveyard dirt yet and then sprinkles the graveyard dirt in front of that doorway.
The person who does this then becomes a prisoner in their own home. But, as soon as the unwanted person walks over the dirt, either entering or leaving, the practitioner sweeps it away. The spirit in the graveyard dirt does not liked to be swept by the dirty broom, and will flee back to the graveyard; the person having walked across the dirt, must go away, and the practitioner, now immune from the graveyard-dirt spirit, is free to have either a new renter or friend.
This was told to me by one of my Grandmother’s friends who was with her group, the lady was from New Orleans and told this to me many years ago, she used it to get an unwanted sister-in-law to move, but she had a hard time figuring out how to get the sister-in-law out of the house, especially before her husband came home, so she tricked the sister-in-law to go to the store to buy some things for dinner and said she couldn’t leave the house because she was baking some cookies for a church social and needed to keep an eye on them, the person in question went to the store and a week later felt that she needed to move out of the house and did.
So if you are going to do this one you need to plan it very carefully, otherwise the spirit of the dirt will make you very uncomfortable.
BEFORE SUNRISE - THROW IN DIRECTION VICTIM LIVES – AND USE A BIBLE VERSE
This is another one that was told to me by the same lady to get a person to move who lives in your area that you don’t want around.
Go the grave just before the sun crests the horizon or before sunrise, take it from the head area, and then hurry home, then from the front of your home throw the dirt in the direction where this unwanted person lives and recite a verse from the bible, allegedly they will move very soon. Part of the planning is finding a good verse from the Bible that speaks of moving or leaving, write it down and then read it while you throw the dirt.
BEFORE SUNRISE - DIRT FROM THE HEART
I was told again by the same lady this other Sunrise gathering ritual, that if you purchase your dirt before sunrise, right from the heart area of a person, let it dry out a bit and then either put it in your shoe or in a little flannel bag and put it in your pocket for good luck.
This is mostly for gambling, personally I would not put it in my shoe because there maybe unwanted bacteria that may cause problems.
So the best way to remember is this:
For luck, take it around the new moon. For warfare, take it around the full moon. Midnight is usually the ideal time to take it, as like in the story “midnight in the garden of good and evil” if you take the dirt a minute or two before midnight is for good, a minute or two after midnight is for evil.
ALTERNATIVES----
Most of the time purchasing the dirt before Sunrise is usually the best time and works best for positive magic, but because of the nature and protection laws of much of this may be prohibitive. So your best bet is to go soon after the cemetery is lawfully open to the public and send out your intent to the spirits.
Another is to go there close to Sundown with your supplies including a tea light in a glass enclosed jar, sometimes I’ve used a relish jar that has been well cleaned put my tea light in it with a touch of earthquake wax to hold it in place, light it with a long match or long necked bic lighter like the kind used for bar-b-ques, it will already be rigged with a wire to carry it with. This way the flame from the candle does not endanger the property. The reason why I say use a tea light is sometimes the batteries from flashlights are energy disruptive and also can be drained by the spirit.
Always carry a bouquet of flowers, inexpensive ones from the supermarket, that way if any security asks you why you're there you can say you got off of work late and this was the only time you could come, but this only works just after Sundown, and leave the bouquet of flowers so that your excuse appears legitimate, and also it's a nice additional offering.
Another way to obtain permission is to say you are ghost hunting, get permission from the cemetery and also notify the police as well, in that case there should be two or three of you with camera’s and portable recorders to appear that you are capturing EVP, again be respectful this is NOT A GAME.
On my next post I will lay out the procedures that you will need to do, so you can follow it step by step, and I will also include some other types of graves to collect dirt from.
Blessings, Ms. Q
"Is there a certain time or moon phase to purchase Graveyard dirt?"
I was taught this many years ago by both my Grandmother as well as two of her friends who came from the South, so some of what I learned is from those areas and some is what my Grandmother was taught as well.
I've seen people who have posted around and they have learned either from their mentors or have read it in a Folklore Book by a man names Hyatt.
So much of it still hold true, it worked then it still works now.
I recommend that you read a book by Fritz Lieber titled "Conjure Wife" it was made into two movies one in the 1940's with Lon Chaney jr. titled "Wierd Woman", the other film done in the late 50's early 60's titled "Burn Witch Burn", although fiction and film, the premise on which they are based is correct and older than time.
As a matter of fact I recommend watching as a "double feature" the two British made movies "Burn Witch Burn" aka "Night of the Eagle" and "Night of the Demon" aka "Curse of the Demon" starring Dana Andrews, both were done in the late 50's early 60's look for the longer time versions of these two films as the American released edited out some scenes. It's amazing how these had all the spiritual information almost correct, and not over exaggerated either, but very close to how magic would work. Although some scene's I feel were over played for dramatic effect.
The Timing to obtain the dirt is also important, most of the old graveyards are some what accessible but because of vandalism many cemeteries have guards to prevent as much as possible such desecration.
I give you these times for your own information and if you are able to gain the trust of a caretaker or grounds keeper to be able to have access to such locations, but sometimes you maybe lucky to find such a place.
Now in a number of regions of the United States you have to be careful in old graveyards and cemeteries at night not only because of trespassing, but also because of poisonous snakes, this is especially true in the West, Southwest, and in the South due to Rattlesnakes, Coral Snakes, Cottenmouths and Copperheads, just to name a few.
There are also scorpions, Black Widow Spiders and the deadly Brown Recluse Spiders again just to name a few, also poison oak and poison ivy.
Check to find out what kind of dangerous, venomous insects and reptiles could be lurking among the old grave sites, wear thick leather gloves, boots that are mid calf, long sleeves, high turtle necks and a head covering to keep them out of your hair, carry your offerings, your jars, labels and pens to write on the labels, as well as a small handheld garden shovel in a carry bag, include flowers as well. Take also a long stick or cane to ward off snakes and such.
If you think you've come in contact with poison oak or ivy, remove your clothing as soon as you get home, wash it in hot water and take a shower immediately.
Now you might get lucky and find an old urban cemetery that doesn’t have as many problems that I have named, otherwise find out when the cemetery closes its gates, usually its at Sundown, however as the days get longer and twilight is lengthened that will give you a certain advantage.
If you live in Europe, in Asia, more rural Canada, in any of the South American States anywhere Mexico and further South again exercise caution both physically and legally.
If you live in New Orleans or plan to go there---DO NOT take any dirt from anywhere around Marie Laveaus’s tomb, you would be inviting very serious trouble upon yourself, only a properly “crowned” voodoo, hoodoo practitioner can do that. Do not think that because you maybe proficient in magikal workings that you can, trust me it is dangerous.
Alright with that out of the way, let me give you the times to collect the dirt and some possible alternatives.
9 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT-NORTH SIDE OF THE GRAVEYARD
Go to the graveyard at nine o'clock at night, and get some dirt out of a grave on the north side of the cemetery. If there is a man or woman you want and they are married or living together, gathering this dirt, can be used to breakup the relationship.
But be careful as how this is used it could cause a serious possibly deadly illness.
Another purpose would also to get rid of someone out of your life, but it would have to be placed near where they sleep, like under their mattress again use with caution and again it depends on from whose grave you gather this from.
MIDNIGHT
Gathering dirt at this time also depends upon the type of luck or success you need, such as getting that break in acting or the music business or even getting a job, again it depends on whose grave you get it from. When you have gathered this dirt do the ritual for luck or success, put this dirt into very tiny bags and wear it around your waist, you could sew it or pin it on what you wear to an interview. Be sure that it cannot be seen, some people will sew it up in a small green flannel packet. Green for prosperity.
You may not have the luck all the time as there could be other factors but you will be more successful than not.
MIDNIGHT-NO MOON SHINING
Gathering dirt at the dark of the Moon is mostly for doing harm or wishing ill or bad luck, it is said if you want a person to have bad luck you toss the dirt at the person, without anything else, it doesn’t have to hit them, it can be just a very small amount, you can even add glitter to it like as if you’re at a party or club and they won’t suspect.
Prepare the dirt first with a hexing ritual, and then when you’ve done it they will never be successful in any undertaking. I’ve known one person who did this and they used black glitter and since it was a Halloween party they mixed black bat glitter (black glitter in the shape of bats) with their dirt, they tossed it on the person’s head and since that person was drinking and it was a noisy, fun party with dancing the person wasn’t aware of it.
The person who was Hexed by this method I knew to be unscrupulous and devious in their business dealings, he went down hill fast.
This could also be used if you know of someone who has done criminal activity then they could be arrested and in jail, just don’t be around them ever again after you do this act, because you don’t want to be arrested either.
(Do not do this indiscriminately, if you do this out of jealousy you could have it backlash to you)
NEW MOON - INNOCENTS GRAVE
A New Moon as compared to a Dark Moon is just when the tiniest bit of moon is showing just barely a sliver or by using a good Astrological Calendar set for your location that will tell you when the new moon is, usually 3 days before the new moon is the true dark phase.
An innocents’ grave is usually a baby’s grave or very small toddler, it is believed that using dirt from this grave the spirit is more compliant to do as you request, but just as any 2 year old they can say “no”.
There are two ways to use dirt gathered at this time, if you have someone who is always running around, leaving your home and just going off or if you want to go off and do something and don’t want anyone asking you or bothering you about where you are going.
If this person is running around you get this dirt add sulfur and salt (sea or kosher salt) and when they are about to leave but they are out of their room toss some into their room, then when they go out the door toss some after them saying you do this in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit, and ask them to bring this person back.
But if you want to leave and not be bothered you do the same thing but toss the dirt in front of you as you leave saying in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit that you want to leave and not be bothered by anyone and then you can go anywhere you want.
But as with anything, this can have dire consequences, if you are going to get into trouble, it will hurt you in the worse possible way, but if you are leaving a person who has abused you and not because you’re mad at your parents, then it will clear the path.
FULL MOON-DIRT FROM A FRESH GRAVE TO BRING IN CUSTOMERS
If you have a business or shop, either working from your home or a brick and mortar store during the full moon gather the dirt from the grave of a business man (successful) especially one who has recently passed away, you mix the dirt from the fresh grave with sulpher and red pepper and bury it under the step of your shop, now considering that most places have steps or walk ways that are concrete place it under the welcome mat in a small flat brown envelop or packet that you can make yourself, or if you are working from home that is you have an internet business place it under your computer, this is suppose to bring in customers/persons to your business or shop.
ONE O'CLOCK IN MORNING
Again choosing the right kind of grave, gathering it at this time will help you make someone you don’t want in the neighborhood to move. You get the dirt, do the correct ritual, sprinkle it on their porch or in front of their doorway walking backwards to make them move.
4 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
This one is very difficult to work with so you have to work with it very carefully. It is used to get rid of someone out of your home or if you rent to get the person out of the room they are renting or to cease having someone be a friend, perhaps they might have in some way betrayed you and you want them to no longer come into your home, you no longer want anything to do with them.
Go to the graveyard around four in the morning and buy 2 ounces worth of graveyard dirt equal to 3 pennies. And sprinkle it around the house, all around and be prepared to sweep out the doorway behind them after they leave, make sure that you sweep the dirt from the doorway completely outside of the house. That will get them to move.
Sweeping graveyard dirt is both an uncommon and dangerous rite. The person that wants to get rid of an unwelcome renter or friend, sprinkles graveyard dirt about the house on the outside, leaving themselves with all entries that is dirty with the dirt except one. Coming indoors the person closes the door that does not have the graveyard dirt yet and then sprinkles the graveyard dirt in front of that doorway.
The person who does this then becomes a prisoner in their own home. But, as soon as the unwanted person walks over the dirt, either entering or leaving, the practitioner sweeps it away. The spirit in the graveyard dirt does not liked to be swept by the dirty broom, and will flee back to the graveyard; the person having walked across the dirt, must go away, and the practitioner, now immune from the graveyard-dirt spirit, is free to have either a new renter or friend.
This was told to me by one of my Grandmother’s friends who was with her group, the lady was from New Orleans and told this to me many years ago, she used it to get an unwanted sister-in-law to move, but she had a hard time figuring out how to get the sister-in-law out of the house, especially before her husband came home, so she tricked the sister-in-law to go to the store to buy some things for dinner and said she couldn’t leave the house because she was baking some cookies for a church social and needed to keep an eye on them, the person in question went to the store and a week later felt that she needed to move out of the house and did.
So if you are going to do this one you need to plan it very carefully, otherwise the spirit of the dirt will make you very uncomfortable.
BEFORE SUNRISE - THROW IN DIRECTION VICTIM LIVES – AND USE A BIBLE VERSE
This is another one that was told to me by the same lady to get a person to move who lives in your area that you don’t want around.
Go the grave just before the sun crests the horizon or before sunrise, take it from the head area, and then hurry home, then from the front of your home throw the dirt in the direction where this unwanted person lives and recite a verse from the bible, allegedly they will move very soon. Part of the planning is finding a good verse from the Bible that speaks of moving or leaving, write it down and then read it while you throw the dirt.
BEFORE SUNRISE - DIRT FROM THE HEART
I was told again by the same lady this other Sunrise gathering ritual, that if you purchase your dirt before sunrise, right from the heart area of a person, let it dry out a bit and then either put it in your shoe or in a little flannel bag and put it in your pocket for good luck.
