![]() ![]() Or, they may tell you about factors in the situation that you don't even know about. Even if you just do your reading for yourself, the cards, runes, or whatever tool you use, might tell you not to precede just yet, or to precede but in a different direction than what you had in mind, with a different emphasis. So, I think it's always good to get another set of eyes to look at the energy of a situation beforehand. Perhaps the book-remedy is not always the right remedy for a situation. Some also seem to base their magical prescriptions on intellectualized "remedies" based on "what this magic book says a person should do in a situation like this." But to be effective, I think magic should be tailored to the particular situation. That approach might be based on emotion, and not on an objective assessment of the actual energy of the situation. A lot of times we want to jump in and just "do a spell" for something. In such a situation, as with all traditional hoodoo workings, a divination reading would be done first, before any magical work would be commenced.Īll the African Diasporic spiritual traditions seem to me to have the caveat of getting a reading done first before doing magical work. Then, when the person is ready to open the road of a new relationship coming his or her way, that's the time to do some Road Opening. Maybe some healing work would need to be done first, and an appropriate amount of time passed. You could do Road Opener work after, say, the end of a long-term relationship. You could include a Road Opener herbal spell bag for the student to take to college, so whenever they feel "stuck" it would help them unstick themselves. If your kid is going away for college, a road opening ritual would be a nice send off. For instance, if someone starts a new job, you might do some Road Opener work to create clear circumstances, an energetic environment that welcomes the conditions we'd want from a successful employment experience. It is more associated with positive energy. Like I said above, it's less heavy energetically than, say, uncrossing, which is removing a curse or jinx. You would do Road Opening work for any new endeavor. It literally means, "open road" in Spanish. The main ingredient in a traditional hoodoo Road Opener herb blend is wood from a plant named, Abre Camino (Latin: Eupatorium villosum). ![]() Washes are used to spiritually clean a home (or any person, place or thing, really) as you physically clean it, which was the idea behind this fun post: Housecleaning with Magic. This spell is designed to give one the feeling one gets when viewing the photo above (or when actually experiencing an open road when driving!).no obstacles, no one getting in the way, nothing to slow you down, just full speed ahead, straight to your goal! That's a Road Opener spell.Ī lot of the herbal spell ingredients in a Road Opener are the same as the ones in another hoodoo spell/herb formula category, Washes. It is one of my favorite workings, and has a multitude of applications. It is a less-heavy version of what's known as "uncrossing" (or "block busting") work in hoodoo.Īsk any hoodoo practitioner what a "road opener" is, and they will know. Road Opener is one of those kinds of spells. ![]() As I mentioned before, there are many, many positive hoodoo spells that could be done, that bring positivity into one's life, and those of others. Though hoodoo practitioners can vary greatly in technique and philosophy, I have found they pretty much all speak the same language when it comes to spell categories. ![]() It all made me think about the Road Opener family of hoodoo spells. I myself planted some marigold seeds that were leftover from plant gifts given to me for Mother's Day last year (hehe, seed-bearing plants: the gift that keeps on giving). Imbolc is a time of new beginnings, new birth, planting seeds. This past weekend, many celebrated Imbolc! I enjoyed seeing peoples' posts sharing their Imbolc festivities. ![]()
