Gambling: How to get on a winning streak

By Dr Snake, on March 10th, 2010

The illustrious bluesman BB King – born in Mississippi in 1925 – always loved to gamble. But maybe he loved it a little too much: It’s said that when touring (which was all the time) he and his fellow band members were so crazed for a wager they’d bet on raindrops running down a window.

Voodoo dolls: For real or all in the mind?

By Dr Snake, on March 10th, 2010

It is said that you need to believe in the power of a voodoo doll curse for it to work. Therefore, if you truly think it is all nonsense, you’d have nothing to worry about. Even if someone’s laid one hell of a hex on you with a voodoo doll, you’d be able to brush

A key part of conjure work is knowing the best time to do rituals. The phases of the moon are worth taking into account. Some say the lunar currents have a measurable effect on us. This may be true. But all I ever look for is the flickering glimmersparks of fate that dance on the

By Dr Snake, on March 5th, 2010

Angelina Jolie: Does she use voodoo to hook her men?

Yes, she did a spell to break up Brad and Jen, and could now have her sights set on Johnny Depp.
No, it’s all media hype, and besides, spells aren’t real, they’re superstition.
Don’t know – but I wouldn’t want to

Graveyard Blues

By Dr Snake, on March 4th, 2010

I was just pumping out a riff on my battered old Gibson guitar, this morning. Mainly because playing a little blues relaxes me. And I was thinking about how my old Voodoo mentor Earl Marlowe taught me a method of increasing personal power. It works like this:
