Unblocking and Road Opening Work.

Hello All and Blessed Be! This New Moon's work for me shall be focused on Unblocking and Road Opening. It seems to be that some changes need to be made concerning certain situations and the people involved that are directly and indirectly a part of my life. I also need to make some changes to my own situations and it seems as if I am blocked and impeded no matter which way I turn and I am not receiving much help or support in some of my endeavors. Things seem to be stalled and sluggish and its like I'm spinning tires and going nowhere. I need to move, or find another full time job soon so I can move. The other situations around me seem to be very slowly moving and the longer it drags out the more volatile and problematic it becomes. So.. time to do some magickal dynamiting of these issues and see if I can clear the way for change! Sometimes in order for required changes to happen you have to take a lead and others will follow and other things will fall into place behind you.  For this working I will be asking and calling upon St Expedite, known to get things going in a hurry and helping with clearing obstacles. His offering is a slice of pound cake and a shot of strong 100 proof rum. His feast day is April 19th, but petitions can be made to him at any time, his motto is "why wait?  do it now!" Other popular Saints and Spirits invoked for Road Opening and Unblocking are Ogun,  Elegba, Maximon, and Pomba Gira Maria Padhila, and Saint Holy Death, however I will write a separate post concerning them as they are lengthy and more elaborate in their offerings and working with them can be a bit more challenging and exacting.   

I will be using a recipe I borrowed and mixed using different unblocking and road opening formulas. It is for a unblocking powder made from the ingredients found in "Arabka Soudagar" powder, and a handmade Road Opening powder.  Arabka Soudagar powder is used when nothing seems to go right and everything is just a tangled, blocked mess, it is used mostly for matters involving money and love. I already have a Road Opening spell bag so the powder and some condition oils will be used inside it. St Expedite will be asked to bless and charge it for me. 

For the Road Opening/Unblocking powder you will need:
1 teaspoon of Allspice
1 teaspoon of Anise Seed
1 teaspoon of Bay Laurel leaves
1 teaspoon of any sour citrus zest, (lime, lemon, grapefruit, etc)
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of real Coconut Extract
1 teaspoon of finely ground Devil's Shoestring
1 teaspoon of finely ground Frankinsence resin
1 teaspoon of finely ground Licorice Root
1 teaspoon of finely ground Myrrh Resin
1 teaspoon of finely ground Peppermint leaves
1 teaspoon of finely ground dried Red Rose petals
1 teaspoon of finely ground Vertivert Root
1 teaspoon of crushed Tonka Beans

Grind , sift and bottle the powder in a airtight container. For more quantity of powder you may double or triple the recipe or as desired.  For the oil made from this you shall use  2- 6 ounces of Sweet Almond and Coconut oil base and 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon of each herb. heat all ingredients in a Bain Marie or a double boiler until it steams, do not allow it to boil! Wait until it cools and bottle herbs and the oil and allow it to steep up to a month to allow the scent to be obtained. It should have a sweet scent of floral, citrus, mint and spicy coconut. The oil and the powder can be used to powder, and anoint candles and use in charm bags and sachets. Do a skin test before applying to the skin as cinnamon can cause a rash or burn in sensitive skin types. Another great idea for this powder is to grind up a decent quantity of it and boil it in 8 ounces of spring water and infuse the water to use in Ritual Baths, soak up and wash away your issues and troubles!

The Road Opening Spell Bag I carry contains these items contained inside one black cloth bag nested inside a red flannel bag.

7 teaspoons of dirt collected from seven different crossroads, you will have to make the bag double layered or carry the dirt in a pouch inside the bag to keep it from dumping out.
1 small chunk of Himalayan Pink Salt
1 skeleton key
1 nail or small pebble found on or near a railroad track, I used both as I happened to find a railroad nail lying smack in middle of the tracks and I have never found another one just like it.
 Magnetic sand and two  Lodestones.

Optional items may be items related to what you want to see opened up for you, such as paths to money, you would add 3-7 real copper pennies, preferably "wheat pennies" or pennies made before 1983. Any type of other charms or roots and oils may be used with this bag to emphasize what you wish to see open up for you. This is a ongoing spell bag and I have seen some of these bags that are stuffed full of things in regards to love, money, success, protection, you name it. To charge and use you bag, Three days before the New Moon and on the actual night of the New Moon, You are to invoke your Spirit or God and Goddess of choice and cast your circle, and inscribe and dress a red and black candle or one each of red and black household candles or use a 7 day ritual candle, with your powders and oils and allow the bag to sit between the small candles or against the glass jar candle while the candles burn down. after it is finished, you are to anoint your bag and feed it with magnetic sand and a small pinch of powder once a week for maintenance, and especially on the New and Full Moon nights.
