It has been a while since we have highlighted our courses, but we have many at the Soulful Santero University! Classes range from cultivating self-love, to caring for our pets, working with angels and saints, psalm magic and a handful of pagan-inspired courses to connect with deities and build portable tech. Many of the courses La Sirena and I offer come from us asking the question of what our practices would look like if they took seriously modern insights, and also connected loose threads in these same traditions that have dangled and never been weaved into coherent practices. Much of what you see at Soulful Santero U reflects the fruits of these discussions over the years. This is why these courses are unique for the traditions they hail from, and offer students fresh new ways of approaching Hoodoo, Greco-Pagan magic and other folk magical approaches.

As we always also say, there is something to suit everyone here. So we heartily invite you to check out our handiwork and give our classes a whirl. You will be glad you did!

THE AMULETO OF SAINT JUDE: A REFLECTION

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jude. He’s less humble looking here, and to me, more driven. Knowing the story of the Apostles and all that happened to them in the times after Jesus was executed and appeared to them to reignite their spirits, it seems a common thread in their stories is how bold and determined they became after seeing the person they loved. The picture of Jude is one where he looks focused and determined. His saint story definitely tracks with this, all the way to his martyrdom. This is what it’s like after a conversion of the heart. NOT conversion in the sense of assent to doctrine or beliefs. But conversion in the sense of becoming our more authentic self.

I have two tools I offer related to this great Saint. One is a class on Jude that teaches just these things. Of how to work with his determined spirit to manifest what you need in your life. The other is an amuleto. A way of carrying his energy, spirit and determined vibe into your daily life. Check them out. You will be glad you did!

The Amuleto of Saint Jude

The attached image is not the amuleto but the reliquary alleged to hold the saintly remains of Jude at the Vatican. We leave it here for your inspiration!

Our limited-edition amuleto was crafted to benefit people’s businesses and all it takes to succeed in business endeavors. Doc Aaron’s relationship with San Judas brings this blessing and benefit to patrons who purchase this potent tool. The amuleto will facilitate your ability to broker deals, maximize profit and scale and grow your vision over time. This tool is a perfect way of combining your mundane business efforts with the magical backup one would do to have a prosperous business!

Because Jude is historically known as the patron saint of impossible causes, the amuleto also has the ability to assist its wearer in dealing with these particular challenges of life. To adequately use this power, it is strongly suggested that a nine-day novena be done to the Saint.

Supplies are limited! To purchase the amuleto, please go here: https://www.soulfulsantero.com/the-soulful-santero-store/p/the-amuleto-of-saint-jude

Hey Folx!

Just wanted to leave a few words to accompany this short video on our upcoming class on petition papers. La Sirena and I have a live class coming up on 3/10 where we will go deep into the mechanics and different ways petition papers can be used and deployed in any kind of occult practice. This is not a class to miss as no one else I know is teaching this little tidbit. It is also economical and includes copious written material you can refer to well beyond the live itself.

PETITION PAPER 411: COLOR

Most times when you see a petition paper, even in the traditions I practice, they are written on a plain piece of paper with ink or pencil. But a little-known “secret” application is to make use of color in your petitions. This would seem like a no-brainer, especially when you take into account that Hoodoo has made use of color correspondences well into its modern iterations. Usually this is applied to things like candles and mojo bags.

But we can apply color to petition papers too. This is a simple but effective way to infuse a petition with the energetic vibration of an astrological planet. It can be a way to bring the energy of prosperity by tracing words in colors like green, silver or gold. There are other folk traditions that even note that the shiny nature of a metallic color helps to radiate the intention of the working. Really, the sky is the limit with the way you use color!

All of this and more will be discussed on the live (and also in the document available after the live). If you’re interested, sign up for the course here: https://square.link/u/5TX0f20A

PETITIONS & GOD NAMES

Within the psalm magic tradition there is a historically underutilized aspect of working with specific names of God to produce certain magical or mystical effects. I say underutilized because in my own research I discovered biblical scholars (mainly Protestant) who dismissed the idea of God’s word having inherent power as superstitious. So even the occult texts related to the psalms, especially once like Godfrey Selig, do not properly unpack this venerable and potent tradition.

Much of my work on the hoodoo front has been to reclaim that in a practical way. In my upcoming course with La Sirena, we will show a simple but effective method of working with God names through the use of petition papers. This is not something to miss!

PETITION PAPER 411

People who do not practice hoodoo or another ATR may not be aware of this, but full-sized mojo hands are not the only way we actually deploy mojos. Another method is to make what Doc Aaron calls a flat mojo. There are way less ingredients than a typical mojo, but depending on the situation needing to be addressed, this is a mojo that is typically used in one’s shoe to maintain works of dominance. You are literally stepping on your target with every step you take.

Petition papers come in because you need something to LINK the mojo to your target. This can be their personal concerns. But more often it is a slip of paper with their name and a few other things. This slip of paper goes in between the cloth and then other ingredients are added and the whole thing is put in your shoe. This is just one of many ways to work a petition paper for a sneaky trick!

DID YOU KNOW?: PETITION PAPERS FOR SPIRITS

Most people probably do not think about this, but when something like a grimoire tells you to write a spirit’s sigil or pentacle on a “virgin parchment,” they are essentially instructing you to write a petition paper to that spirit and then take it through a lengthy and complicated ritual. This is one way to work, and it is valid. But it is seldomly practical and even ceremonial magicians Doc Aaron knows well will admit that it’s a lot of work to conjure spirits in their traditions.

Hoodoo is not like this. Yes, there are complicated rituals, but the MAJORITY of what rootworkers do is simple and effective. Part of why this is this way in rootwork is because we are seldomly concerned about conjuring spirits to visible appearance. We call spirits to work, not just show themselves.

In our course on petition papers, we will explore ways workers can work with spirits in this fashion. Sound interesting? Then sign up here: https://square.link/u/5TX0f20A
