Open Roads & Wealth Rite — Full Moon Working

When money slows down and opportunities stop showing up, something needs to shift.

On the night of the Full Moon, I’ll be performing a focused candle rite to draw in financial movement, open roads, and expand the conditions around your work, income, and direction. This isn’t just about bringing money in—it’s about opening new ways for it to reach you.

This working is set to attract clients, create opportunities, and break through the kind of stagnation that keeps things stuck or repeating.

Your birth name and date of birth will be placed into the working and worked under the Full Moon. Each case is handled individually.

Candles are fixed with in-house powders and a custom oil blend, built from my own practice and knowledge and directed specifically for this rite.

If money has been delayed, inconsistent, or blocked—this is where things begin to move again.

Ajarn Apichai’s Jupiter Candle Rite — May 17

On May 31st, Jupiter enters its exalted state (Maha-Ut)—a rare 12-year shift where its power reaches full strength and begins to correct the current.

In Thai astrology, Jupiter is the great benefic—the force behind fortune, wisdom, expansion, and opportunity. When aligned, it opens the road. When not, it brings obstacles.

This candle rite is done to honor and align with that force.

If the current favors you, it amplifies success.
If not, it shields and stabilizes.

What it does:
– Strengthens Jupiter in your life
– Draws in luck, wealth, and opportunity
– Deepens connection to teachers, spirits, and amulets
– Supports study, mastery, and clarity
– Helps navigate obstacles with precision

There’s an old belief—honor Jupiter consistently, and even the harshest paths begin to bend.

Ajarn Apichai Success Candle Ritual – april 25th

This is a candle rite worked in Thailand by Ajarn Apichai, offered through his student Gary Noriyuki, who carries your name into the ritual itself. When you take part, you’re not watching from the outside—you are placed inside the ceremony as it unfolds, counted among those present before the Teachers.

This working is only done at moments that matter—initiations, lineage rites, and the Wai Kru—when the current of the masters is at its peak. It’s for those who walk close to this current, who carry his yants or amulets, or who feel called to stand under that lineage and receive from it directly.

At its core, this is about honoring the Teachers. In return, their current moves toward you—protection, steady growth, clarity of mind, and the strength to move through obstacles without hesitation. It reinforces your own workings, sharpens your focus, and aligns your path so what you aim for begins to land cleaner and faster.

The ritual is performed during the Wai Kru at the temple of Luang Phor Charuay on April 25th. From morning to midday, all participants are treated as present within the ceremony itself.

All that’s needed is your name and date of birth. You’ll receive images of your candle and the ritual as it’s carried out.

This isn’t distant work. This is your name being brought into the temple and placed directly into the hands of the lineage.

Hail the flame between the Horns.
Hail the forces that move under everything.
Hail Baphomet! The hidden fire, the knowing flame that never goes out.

The spark’s been plucked.
The pact is set
Let it burn in you
and light your way ahead
From now until the last breath

Hail Baphomet!

Wanna give a shout out to for the commission works done some time ago, I’ve been meaning to make a post about it, but I’ve been pretty busy all around.
I had a bag for a set of divination tools for a spirit and a doll commissioned from my friend at , love the thoughtful and attention to detail placed on each piece. I completely love them!!!
I recommend all their work, hands down one of my favorite artists out there!!!

Many moons ago, and myself began an experiment/ collab, it has finally come to fruition.
I’m proud to showcase the final product, and mention that there are only 3 left of the talismans, and some charm balls left.

These are special and one of a kind.
I encourage you get any of the products in this collection while they are available.

Today, December 31st 2025, as the sun went down I began the ritual, witnessed by friends and family.

What you’re seeing here came together through days of preparation for the road opening candle ritual for 2026, moving back and forth between the mundane and the unseen—making sure everything was in place before tonight’s ceremony. Forces from proper lineages were called, spirits drawn close, and offerings were given to Baphomet, Phra Ngang, ghosts, and assisting spirits. Each plate was fixed with its own candle, along with the materials that will become an amulet for each person this work was done for.

I want to thank and
for being part of this community, the support offered and help given to facilitate the process, making sure things move smoothly and with care. And thank you to everyone who took part in this working and trusted me with it. Twenty-one candles burned as part of this rite as a whole.

May you walk into the new year with open roads, real opportunity, prosperity, good health, laughter, and a life that feels full and worth living.

Happy New Year, 2026.

Tata Ezundu.

Road Opening Candle Ritual with Baphomet
December 31st

A threshold working to end stagnation and open the road into the new year.

This ritual is done to remove obstacles, sever cords tied to the past, and clear conditions that restrict movement. What no longer belongs is cut away so momentum can return.

Baphomet is worked here as balance held under pressure—opposing forces brought into alignment, not softened. When the elements within the spiritual body are corrected, movement resumes. Prosperity follows cleared paths, not noise.

Each taper candle is individually prepared and fixed with your personal information, then actively worked during the ritual. Offerings are made to Baphomet and assisting spirits on behalf of the group.

This year’s working is more involved than last year’s. The structure is tighter, the handling heavier, and the scope expanded.

At the conclusion of the ritual, a consecrated amulet is crafted from the charge of the working and shipped to you as a physical anchor of what was set in motion.

Well well well.
Last night was the Darkest Night Market in Peabody, MA, and once again it delivered.

Always a solid time meeting new faces, reconnecting with familiar ones, and finally putting handshakes to names I’ve followed for years. Great vendors, real work, real conversations. Plenty of laughs, friends stopping by, and more than a few deep talks about the magic Ajarn Apichai and I do.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come say hello, and a special thank you to those who took some of my work home with them—it’s appreciated more than you know.

This closes out another year of markets put together by the Salem Witchcraft & Folklore Festival crew. Always inspiring, always well curated, always a good reminder that the craft is alive and evolving.

Until next time!

These are thoughts that came from studying both Conjure and Thai Sorcery.
Both systems use holy words to ignite the magic, and because of that, people always ask me:
“Do I need to recite the prayer that comes with the amulet? Can I just carry it? Can I skip the activation?”
So here’s the truth, across both traditions:

Real results come from three pillars:

1. Your Past Momentum
Your history is half the work. Strong momentum lifts you. Weak momentum drags you. Magic doesn’t erase your past; it works from it.

2. Your Present Behavior
Your discipline, clarity, and choices right now either support the work or sabotage it. You can’t pray for blessings while living in contradiction.

3. The Tools
Chants, prayers, spirits, oils, amulets — these are amplifiers, not replacements. They add force only when the first two pillars are aligned.
Carrying an amulet without engagement is like carrying a blade you never sharpen.

Think of it like this:
You need 50 points for a result.
Your past gives you 30.
Your present gives you 10.
The tools can add the last 10.
But if you expect the amulet or chant to carry the full load, nothing moves.

HOW TO PRAY FOR REAL EFFECT

1. Don’t chant on autopilot.
Mindless recitation is useless. Meaning helps but presence matters more.

2. Chant with awareness.
Follow every syllable — Na, Mo, Tas, Sa — fully conscious of each sound as you speak it.
This creates mindfulness. Mindfulness creates concentration.
That combination generates actual power.

Chanting with awareness is sorcery.
Chanting like a parrot is just noise.

THE TRUTH
Magic responds to alignment — past, present, intention, and focus working together.
When those pieces lock, the prayer becomes a blade.
When they don’t, even the holiest words fall flat.
