MOSQUITO GOBLIN

Full listing: http://www.wolf-and-goat.com/Products/Seelie-Unseelie/Goblins/mosquitogoblin.html

Creeping plague and pointed cure, bleeder and leech, the MOSQUITO GOBLIN is daylight mist in a nighttime swamp...

Nature spirits in essence, goblins and their ilk belong to a multiflorous spirit-branch of many possibilities, mediated at birth by potential and ingredient, bone and bark - children of effluvia and chance played and splayed upon the land. Those intelligent many among their breed are potent harbingers of change and growth, allies capable of work and wisdom, friends and familiars of woe or joy.

A spirit-type much beloved by Wolf & Goat, we strive to find those individuals amongst their lot that are of the greatest possible use to the spirit-eared and spirit-handed, be it for edification, employment or enchantment. Such are found, fed and friended, and from such interior charges are devised of sympathetic goods, and body is aligned with soul, to rest within aesthetically accurate idols.

This figure is the seat of a goblin-like spirit that has expressed the desire to be brought to form, given roost, and made available to workers and witches who might benefit from his teachings and potencies.

The spirit within this fetish is an odd beast of pox and cure, aligning himself with drinkers of blood and carriers of contagion. Of an ambivalent nature himself, he is just as good at works of healing and expulsion as he is at works of attack and vampirism with his allies among those creatures that bite and sting and suck. The leech is his friend - both animal, and doctor of old.

In addition to this, he has skills in works of invisibility, particularly using the power of the sun and the masking of those that walk at night through the power of the day, as well as knowledge of herbal healing and works of fetid water.

Included with this goblin will be a cloth scroll detailing his information and person in more depth, including his name, those ingredients which comprise the charge that sits within him, suggestions on housing, offerings and starting points for workings, etc.

NEW PRODUCT: DEADLINGS

Full listing: http://www.wolf-and-goat.com/Products/Charms-Fetishes/PoppetsDolls/Deadlings/deadlings.html Those whose lives were over before they began hold a special place amongst dead-workers. Infant spirits are controversial: their use as spirit allies is both sought and shunned depending on the worker and their reasoning. From the worked graves of infants used in American hoodoo, to the kuman tong and hong pray of Thailand, the Santa Lucias of Mexico, the douen of the Obeahmen, or the animist kiyumbas of Palo Mayombe and Brazilian Quimbanda, there is a wide range of praxis in working with the spirits of infants. In our experience, they are potent allies if you can meet their demands- for they are often more demanding than 'grown' spirits. It is the spirit that must be the guide in the end, and the measure of success found in its advice and ability to work.

Borne from our continued work and an elaboration of our Lazarus Fetishes, the Deadlings are suitable dwelling for any child spirit, born or unborn, that the witch, macumbeiro, or rootworker desires to call to and that may in turn answer that call. Using the Rite of the Rolling of the Stone that has been included with our Lazari, the fetish is buried and resurrected after suitable call has been made, and contact and contract secured. In addition, our Apple Cheeked Oil will be included to further compound the mysteries each child spirit may bring with it.

Deadlings have an interior charge including child graveyard dirt, child bone, various herbs selected by spirit sign, ceiba, hagstone, and Wolf & Goat's Apple Cheeked Oil, with several other ingredients. It is dressed in tea stained and hand died cotton cloth.

The Deadling series is dressed in honor of the Kongolese primary spiritual colors of white, red, black and yellow. While not the sole source of their inspiration or animation, these colors do echo subtle hints of their power. They may be used to draw any child spirit or shade of the unborn. This makes them prime workers for almost any task, as long as the nurturing hand knows the line between reward and mollycoddling. lest cosseting make the Deadling headstrong and brattish, or neglect make the spirit starve and unstably seek out nourishment in other forms.

As mentioned, these Lazari will come with a bottle of Apple Cheeked Oil and the Scroll that accompanies it, that in tandem with the Rite of the Rolling of the Stone and La Brasa, these fetishes may awaken to their fullest potential for those that can deliver each Babe into Fullest Being.

Soon to be released: A variant on the Lazarus Fetishes, these infant deadlings have sympathetic charges to attract spirits of the unborn and other child spirits. The first four will be available this weekend. Priced at $300 each, they will come with the Lazarus Ritual 'the Rolling of the Stone' and a vial of La Brasa, as well as our Apple-Cheeked Oil to fully take advantage of these unique fetishes.

Harnessing the power of the Fixed Stars by traditional correspondences and specific astrological timing, our BEHENII OILS bestow “great gifts…to an extreme height of fortune”, calling to each specific star to bestow their unique virtues.

Monday night finds us again before the Tronco, and tonight, on the Feast of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, we honor the Exus and Pomba Giras of Vision and Dream- the spirits of the Mossorubi Line. May Seu Kaminaloá and Maria Mulambo stir the Dream within us, dispel illusion and fantasy in favor of the truth, and remove the obstacles to our progress on the Path. (And for those who call themselves our enemies, may the Nightmare of Truth and Illusion churn terrors and larvae in the shells of their minds!)

"If the Quimbandeiro does not set his sights upon his own life, battling his own emotions and thoughts and living, they will find war outside themselves constantly: attacking others, blaming others, finding conflict where there is none, escalating minor grievances to major conflict. At that point, the question remains- who is the master and who is the slave? Are you slave to your demons- your passions, your fire- who is in control? Who is the horse and who is the rider?"
