Testimonials for Natural Magick Shop

Cedar, thanks for opening the online store. When I moved to Portland I thought I would have to stock up on Pan Oil during my annual pilgrimage to Austin.

My boyfriend always knows he’s getting lucky when I wear that earthy scent, of course he might get stuck out dancing for hours before it happens.

I like to put it in my beard and in my armpits and crotch. Smells like a healthy happy man’s body that’s been rolled in the forest floor.

Cedar,
I really like the Ex-Smoker blend. I had already quit for about a week when I received it, I wish I would have found it on the web in time to order for my quit date. It has really helped me get through my first bon fire and drinking get together without a cig. I really only smoke about 1 ex-smoker a day right now and its just good to know there is something to smoke when I am really craving a cig. I also liked what you wrote about the effigy, I may try that. I had smoked for 20 years and quitting is one of the hardest things I have done, I still want to smoke everyday but I haven't so far for 15 days.
Thanks again,
Marcy from Wisconsin

When I got the role of Coyote in a play, I tried Cedar’s Coyote oil. And instantly I felt sneakier, sillier, tricksy-er, and all of the thing Coyote should be. If the audience response is any indication, the oil worked like a charm!

Dear Cedar,
I received my order Saturday! Thank you sooo much! They are all so unique and beautiful! I will certainly be ordering more soon! Thanks again for working things out with me regarding my recent address change. :-) I couldn't possibly pick a favorite! I love something special about each one. The Pele oil is really great! I was lucky enough to learn a traditional Hula to Pele once and this oil brings up many of the same feelings and energies! I also wore the Circe oil out Sunday night and when I got home I had some very vivid dreams! I am already planning my next order! I'm sure my H.P. will love his two oils as well! Thanks again.
Blessed Be,
Meghan Rice

Hi y'all,
Cedar's handcrafted items are some of the best I've ever come across. I'm a huge fan of her pendulums. The positive energy is hands down the best you will ever come across. I also love her oils!

Hello,
I have been meaning to write you now for some time. I was your first international customer.....from Canada.I just wanted to thank you so much for your write up on how you stopped smoking.
I could truly relate to the visuals you described.

I have now been a non smoker for a month and a half.

I really did enjoy smoking ....BUT.....it was harming me and it was time face that fact and do something positive about it.Your write up gave me the courage to honor myself and release all that did not serve my highest good.I just wanted to share that with you and tell you that your article truly helped someone.......me.
Have a blessed day,

Hi, Cedar,
Just got my order, wow, that was fast! Everything arrived just fine. The wand is just great. You know how some things feel new and take a little breaking in? Well, not this one. It felt comfortable the first time I held it. Amazing. Speaks well of your methods. I am very happy with the "Newtonian". Thank you so much and Blessed Be.

Cedar,
I wanted to give you an update on my job situation....
I went by your house to pick up my oils on Wed 4/9. The following day I lit a green candle with the symbol you showed me for money and wrote on the glass "I Am Prosperous" with gold paint. I also dabbed it with the Money, Good Job & Success oils. That evening I saw an ad for an Office Manager and sent my resume. The following morning on 4/11 I got a call from the recruiting agency. She wanted me to come to her office on Monday so she could meet me and have me take some tests. After meeting with her on Mon, she scheduled the interview for Tues (following day) with the company hiring the Office Manager. I went on the interview on Tues and it went very well. I was also told that aprox 10 people were going to be interviewed. I was invited back for a second interview 2 days later on Thurs and offered the job! (that was on 4/17....just a couple of days ago). All of this happened in only 8 days since I went to pick up the oils and started using them. To put all of this into perspective: I was working with a very controlling man who was very abusive to his daughter who also worked with me in the office. He had awful energy. Before him I had walked out of a job I had been at only 2 weeks because the boss raised her voice to me (I think I told you this when I met you). I had also told you that I desperately wanted to "shift" my employment situation as circumstances had been quite negative in the workforce for at least 2 years (I had had 7 jobs in 2007). The man at the company I was working at was paying me $12/hr. At my new job I was offered $18.50/hr.! And the woman I who owns this company --- that I will be working with --- is about 60yrs old and oozes warmth and kindness. For the first time in a LONG time, I really think this is going to be a nice place to work at.
The reason I wanted to update you is because everything shifted when I began to use the oils I bought from you.
Thank you!!

Dear Natural Magick,
I wanted to thank you for the fast delivery! My wand and incense arrived yesterday. I am speechless when it comes to the wand. All I can say is magnificent! The incense smells amazing as well even having not lit it yet! Thank you for everything! I have never been as happy with a product as I am when I use yours!! Everything is simply wonderful!!!

Hello! It's Zach again. I just wanted to thank you for the wand. I used it recently, and it worked wonders. I'm going to place another order soon, because I've been using the Full Moon oil I ordered as well and the effects are amazing. Looking forward to more of your excellent product!

Cedar,
I never quite got around to saying "thanks" for all the wonderful gifts you sent me. You far exceeded my expectations with customer service.

Good Evening Cedar!
I received Rhianna today, she arrived save and sound. Of course I have not had time to get to know her, but my first impressions are tremendous. Visually the wand is truly a splendid work of art. She is understated in design, yet through the almost austere appearance there is a classic elegance portrayed by the clean slender lines, and lack of superfluous ornamentation. To me there is an aura of energy and function. I was also struck by the shape of the shaft and crystal, sleek and straight, almost arrow like. The initial feeling was of focus and purpose, an unwavering true flight. Needless to say, I am very happy right now. Safety and happiness to you and yours,Seenidog, Fennimore, Wisconsin

Hey, Cedar!

I’ll go on the site and order extra Aura Docs and Healing Lotion – you may be getting new orders from my colleagues, too. I can’t tell you what a hit your products have made in our office.  Everyone is saying, “WHAT is that wonderful smell?” and “WHERE did you get that?”

This is great! Thank you, Cedar. I am so glad that my guides led me to your site over the cyber waves.  You are a treasure!!!

Have a great day and enjoy settling in to the new space. Continued good luck in your wonderful alchemy!!!

I just wanted to thank you for how well  your products work. I had purchased many, including Djinn, Dream, Black Cat, and Fire. I have had amazing outcomes, of which I will not write on account of it being quite lengthy. Recently I purchased Ghobe for my dear friend who has a great love for gnomes and will be spending his summer mining to find Red Beryl (apparently a rare stone of great worth). As a token of pre-thanks for aiding in the find, and a token of thanks for your highly under-priced products, I have done a picture for you. Seeing as I am unable to send it, I will merely put it up in my show this July and put it as 'not for sale', for at some point we may meet or I may be able to give it to you. Good luck in your future ventures. I will continue to patron your site. 

Sincerely,

Gamaliel Azbury

Wow that was really fast shipping! And it has a very good feel to it. When I opened the bottle and smelled it it was definitely Green Tara. :-)

Hi, Cedar,
I received my Faery oil and Faery bath herbs today. I am just *delighted* with the oil and I look forward to using the bath herbs very soon. I dabbed the oil on my lids, wrists and behind my ears. It smells so wild and free, like summer. I never smelled anything like it before.

Hi Cedar,

Just wanted to let you know I received my parcel, and I have paid the outstanding freight charge.

I absolutely love my products, they are gorgeous, and beautifully presented. 

I can see that you put a lot of time and care into your products, and for that I thank you.

Will definitely be ordering from you again soon.

Kindest regards,

My order arrived today, perfectly and carefully packaged, and earlier than I would have expected. The oils are exquisite. 

Thank you, William D., Ft. Washington PA. 

I love the products from Natural Magick, not only does Cedar take the time to answer my messages, she makes such great quality products. Within minutes after I made my good job mojo kit I received an email for a job interview. AND at the end of the month I have another job interview. Thank you so much Cedar!

Just received my second package from your shop! My fiancee is CRAZY about your Pan oil, and I adore the way it smells on him!

Thank you so much for carefully crafting your lovely oils! They are quickly becoming a staple in our household!

How to Anoint Candles with Magick Oils

Before a candle is used for candle magick or for a spell, it should be dedicated to the purpose for which it will be used. This is sometimes called “fixing” the candle, and there are a number of ways to do this properly, according to different traditions.

It is ideal to use a magick oil that is specific to the purpose on a candle of the appropriate color. So you might use Money or Jupiter oil on a green candle for a money spell, Love oil on a red or pink candle, or Peace oil on a blue candle to bring serenity to a troubled home. When this is not possible, ordinary olive oil can be used on a white candle or colored candles if you have them. Alternatively, you can keep an all-purpose oil, like Altar, Temple, Abramelin, or High John the Conqueror oil to use on a white candle or appropriately colored candles.

Most Southern or HooDoo tradition practitioners will pray over a candle, or use some sort of blessing or purification incantation to cleanse the candle before it is fixed. Wax, by its nature, is gooey sticky stuff that intentions easily adhere to, even if they are not intentional intentions, so it is a good idea to purify candles of any contamination they might have been exposed to, for example, some lady's "to do list" that she was thinking of while shopping the candles at Hobby Lobby. And that's a best case scenario!

How specifically to cleanse or "blank out" a candle: breath fully, calm and center yourself. Allow your root chakra to join with the center of the Earth and fill you with the vast energy of the molten center of our Earth. Allow your crown chakra to unite with the heavenly stellar energies, your Star of Destiny. As you feel these energies of Heaven and Earth filling your body and purifying and brightening your own intention and Will with blessing, you can direct that light into your hands, and holding a candle cupped in your hands, the white or golden or blue-white purifying energy you shine into the candle will cleanse/purify and make your candle clear and blank for absorbing your new intention. This exercise has multitudinous uses in addition to candle magick, and is in fact a basic magickal visualization that would prepare for and benefit any spiritual working regardless of tradition.

Then, to fix the candle for any positive or invoking magick of your choosing, you hold it in the middle with your weak hand (left hand if you are right handed), and anoint the candle with the fingers of your strong hand to rub the magick (or “condition”) oil onto the top half, stroking from the center towards the wick, until the candle is completely covered with oil. If you pour a bit of the oil into the palm of your weak hand, you will have plenty to cover the candle. Then you rub the oil onto the bottom half of the candle, rubbing from the middle to the bottom.

The reasoning here is that the first half of the candle is taking your petition up towards the Heavens, and then the second half brings the prayer back down into the material planes towards manifestation. You will also have the oil on your hands to dedicate your hands as agent to your will towards manifesting your intention.

For negative or banishing magick, like exorcisms, binding, hexing, or releasing, the pattern would be opposite, first you would stroke from the middle down, then from the middle to the wick.

I have found some references to a way of anointing from the top towards the middle, then the bottom towards the middle, but I think this is just a confusion of the above process. That is, unless your Grandma or Mambo taught you to do it that way, then, by all means!

The Wiccan or western Witchcraft tradition favors a different method of anointing candles. Most of us would also do a blessing or cleansing of a candle before dedicating it to its magickal purpose. Quite simply, for any positive or creative purpose, the oil is applied with the fingers of your strong hand from the bottom of the candle upwards towards the wick. For any negative or banishing purpose, you apply the oil from the wick towards the bottom of the candle. I personally prefer this technique because it works well combined with inscribing a candle with words or symbols. So I can use my New Moon Agave Thorn to write “Prosperity” in my magick alphabet from the bottom of the candle upwards to the top, and then anoint the candle with Money or Prosperity oil in the same direction as the writing. Or I can write “Forgiveness” onto a blue or black candle from the wick end towards the bottom, and then anoint it with Dark Moon oil in the same direction.

When you are using glass cased candles, like the very popular and useful seven-day candles, there are two ways to use magick oils. Before you light the candle, you can use a nail or some other tool to make a deep hole next to the wick. Then, best as you can, dribble the magick oil into the hole. Or you can dab a bit of oil on top of the wax, drawing a circle around the wick prior to lighting. Once the candle is lit and going well, and there is a molten pool of wax around the wick, you can add more oil without messing up the wick. Repeating this process will give your candle a good smell from the oil. I like to use these candles for more long-term purpose intentions, and they work really well with silver and gold paint markers if you want to draw sigils onto the glass jar. Don't be afraid of the craft in Witchcraft!

Whichever technique calls to you, just settle on one methodology that is in alignment with your tradition, or makes sense to you, and use that technique always. That way your spirits and angels and guides and your own subconscious can understand the message you are trying to send out with your candles and magick oils.
