Happy Imbolc! Tomorrow marks Imbolc, which is considered by many to be the festival of Brigid, Goddess and Saint of poetry, healing, and smith-craft (among other things). (It’s also the start of the annual song-writing challenge, FAWM, which I’ve found so inspiring these past two years.) Here in the Northern Hemisphere, in Wales, the land is starting to wake up after the long dark nights, and…

In this post I'm going to speak on what is and the different ways to use Dume Powder.

What Does Dume Mean? D.U.M.E means Death Unto My Enemies.

What Is The Difference Between Goofer Dust & Dume Powder? This type of powder I would say is a step below Goofer Dust. Dume Powder is fairly newish and has lighter ingredients, where Goofer Dust has been around for over a hundred years and has more potent ingredients and takes longer to make.

Is The Store Bought Dume The Real? Don't know, I can say Goofer dust Is Not The Real Deal in stores. Dume I want to say can be in some places. But i can say this. I think the southern hoodoo communities stop telling outsiders how to make goofer dust to keep it from being sold because of how dangerous it can be.

How Can It Be Used? There are many ways to use this depending on what results your looking for.

Dume powder works well with a person's natural tendencies.

(Example) If I know that a person's is constantly getting sick or think that they are you can play off that and actually make them sick.

Spells: Here are two spells useing a photo if you done have your targets photo use their name and burn that to ash.

Burn a photo of the target to ash & mix in hospital dirt and dume powder. Now this will make them sick.

You can burn a photo of a person to ash then mix dume powder and put it in a little bottle or pill bottle the it will make them shake constantly.

There are other ways it can be used like putting it a persons foot track or of you pick up their tracks.

Write down the following phrase on paper. This is also used for protection of caddle, so this is going to sound funny! But do not worry, this works beautifully. The phrase goes as follows:

Trotter Head, I forbid thee my house and premises; I forbid thee my horse and cow-stable; I forbid thee my bedstead, that thou mayest not breathe upon me; breathe into some other house, until thou hast ascended every hill, until thou hast counted every fence-post, and until thou hast crossed every water. And thus dear day may come again into my house, in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Every full moon I make a list of things, people, experiences, places ideas, and values that aren’t serving me and I burn them. I usually see the normal orange colored flames so this time, I wasn’t expecting anything but the usual.

  This time I was stopped in my tracks because I had several colored flames going at the same time! I saw green and blue they were the brightest, purple and yellow. I literally couldn’t move until the flames died down and turned orange. I never saw the flames so big either! There was lots of magic in my bathroom sink let me tell you.

  Here’s what I found out:

Blue: The primary spiritual color It’s used to obtain wisdom, harmony, inner light, or peace; confers truth and guidance. Other uses include healing, sleep, creativity, perception, calming wisdom, truth, loyalty, dreams, and the examination of emotions. Some say it represents the divine mother.

Green: Promotes prosperity, fertility, and success. Stimulates good luck, can increase money, harmony, and rejuvenation. Also represents Healing, health, and growth. Can be an important component in rituals involving Venus; attracts love, and social delights.

  Purple: Is used to obtain desires, power and success. Can stimulate idealism and psychic manifestations and help make contact with the spiritual world. Increases enthusiasm, desire and power. Is also powerful for healing, and spiritual development. Some attempt to use it for power over others

Yellow: Represents attraction, charm, confidence and persuasion. Used to stimulate mental clarity, knowledge and concentration. Also used in healing. Like gold, it can serve for magic and rituals involving solar energies and deities associated with the sun. Stimulates logic, aids in overcoming mental blocks and promoting the self. The burning of candles for spiritual works goes back to ancient times.  Many spiritual workers believe that the flame of the candle pierces the veil between the physical and the Spiritual world and creates a passageway that allows the prayers and petitions to be more readily received by those from whom help is being sought out.

What is Magic?

If you ask 100 different practitioners, you'll probably get 100 unique answers. This is because this path places a focus on the experiences of the individual rather than external validation. For those coming to an energetic practice from mainstream religions that place the focus on external validation instead, this can be a new and daunting concept.

Some common answers akin magic to the Force from Star Wars: an energy that flows through all life and between all life and between all things, connecting us and binding us together. Others may reference Eastern Religions that talk about Chi, Ki, or Spirit that resides inside of a person or other living things. Answers range from calling it an internal spark or fire that keeps you going with passion in your heart and life in your body. You may see their own energy or magic in different ways than these described here: from likening them to elements (fire, water, air, earth, electricity). I've also heard magic described as the quiet beauty of a sunset or the love represented in self care or the intention put into little moments during your day. However you perceive your own power and life-force is probably how you perceive magic.
