"Sometimes you don't care what it takes or how much trouble you cause -- that couple has got to break up, for the sake of your future happiness. It is our belief that Heaven does not favour those who tear love asunder without good reason, and we hope that these products are only used when the case is justified, but if you have been deceived or hurt by adultery, or if your marriage partner still keeps drifting back to his old time used-to-be -- if you want to put an end to the problem, then BREAK UP spells are traditional, effective, and, God willing, just and fair to all the parties involved."

Break Up is available in foil packages of Lucky Mojo brand Break Up sachet powders, Break Up incense powders, Break Up crystal salts, and a 1/2 oz. bottle of Break Up oil for anointing oneself or dressing candles. Like the rest of the Lucky Mojo line, these products contain genuine reputed break-up herbs and herbal essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. The ingredients in Break Up include Red Cayenne Pepper and Sulphur, plus other herbs and essences. Lucky Mojo labels are adapted from vintage packaging and in many cases the images are as traditional as the ingredients themselves.
Using Break Up spiritual supplies can be as simple as dressing black
Divorce candles with the oil -- to
laying down sachet powders
in the couple's home to cause them to fight. When starting Break Up work, some
people like to get things going with a full-blown spell and then
continue to use the sachet powders
to dress the places where the couple will
There are many forms of break up work. The first
and second given here are different from one another, and the third is
a synthesis of the first two. The fourth is in a class of its own as well.
To deploy the fixed containers, it may be
shaken, thrown into running water, thrown into a corssroads,
buried under the doorstep or walk-way path, thrown over
their roof, broken, or, in the case of a lemon, cut and the
juice squeezed behind the one you want to have get away.
A typical break up spell in a botle is described in full below.
Spells to harm an indiividual or to break up a couple can also be made with
feces, which are a form of personal bodily concern.
Typcially, a name paper is written with the two people's names on it, then cut in half to
separate their names. The papers are then
smeared with feces. If the spell to harm an individual or break up a
couple, as when wiping one's behind with a name-paper. The
paper is disposed of in the toilet.
Some Break Up Spells use LIVING ANIMALS to effect the
break-up by having them consume a prepared or fixed food
item (generally an egg or a lemon). For instance,
one common form of this class of spell consists of burying a
prepared Break Up egg in an ant's nest. A second version
involves feeding the two halves of a
prepared hard boiled egg to a black dog and a black cat, or,
feeding a prepared lemon to the maggots that live in an outhouse.
The deployment of the spell occurs when the animals
eat apart the contents of the egg or lemon, thus
symbolically destroying the relationship.
A gentler drive-away and spearation spell performed with a living animals entails
capturing a cooter (a kind of river turtle) and writing
the name of the person you want to see gone from the relationship
on its shell,
then releasing the cooter back into the river. This breaks the couple up by
driving the unwated person away.
Divorce candles,
Bride and Groom candles,
Adam candles and
Eve candles,
or
Clothed Men candles and
Clothed Women candles
are popular
figural candles used
in the performance of Break Up spells.
Stationary or fixed
figural candle
spells for breakups may employ
black Divorce figural candles,
which show a man
and woman back-to-back, or
black Bride and Groom candles,
which show a couple side-by-side. In either case, they
are burned down until they are close to finished and then
whacked in two with a knife, a machete, or a butcher's cleaver.
The other
figural candles
mentioned are used in spells which combine the two
ideas of breaking up and drawing back by using a traditional,
old-fashioned moving candle spell to send
the intruder away from your target and at the same time attract or draw
the target back to you or your client.
Start by selecting
figural candles
of the proper gender and intimacy-level
for each person, and make sure that they are each of an
appropriately symbolic candle colour
for the work, such as red for love, pink for friendship, or black for the intruder.
You will also need the
proper
conjure oils
and some
magical herbs
or
sachet powders
to sprinkle on the candles once you have oiled and dressed them.
Set the candles up as shown, and as
they burn, walk the intruder away from the target and walk the target
toward your (or your client's) candle. You may beurn the candles
in sections over the course of 3 or seven days while doing this, or
you may stay up with them all night for a marathon job of work. If you burn in sections, you can keep a love lamp,
filled with red kerosene, going the entire time to carry the work on
while the candles are resting.
Once the target's candle is back where he or she belongs and
the intruder's candle is a good distance away, place a sharp-edged tool,
such as a knife or pair of scissors, between them to prevent their symbolic reunion.
Here is a magic spell you can work to break up a couple. It is
what one might call an all-purpose spell because there are many variations
that can be improvised from it. Note that this spell is not designed to
break up a your lover and his or her outside partner and then bring your
lover back. It is only a BREAK UP spell, not a break-up-and-reuiniting spell.
If what you need is a Break Up AND a reuinion, i recommend either a different spell -- one
which employs candles to represent every party in the matter, including you -- or working a
two-part spell, first this bottle spell and then a reuinion or
Reconciliation spell
for you and your lover.
This spell is presented in several degrees of severity,
allowing you to choose just how much trouble you want to
make. In addition to the items here, you will need something
personal from both parties, such as their hair,
footprint-dirt,
photos, business
card, or
body fluids like menstrual blood or semen. The more intimate the better. In
addition, you should symbolically write their full names on
two pieces of paper 9 times. Use black ink for the one you
want to have get away and red ink for the one you want to
stay near you. Use black ink for both, if you want both to
get away. Whatever item you use, those things, plus the
name-papers, will be referred to as "the couple's personal
items." Not everyone works by Moon phases, but if you do, then perform this
spell during the waning of the moon,
so the Moon grows smaller while you
work, symbolizing the diminishment of their relationship.
Make the Break Up incense powders
into cones (use a twist of
paper, pack the incense
in with your finger, and turn it out
of the cone) or place it loose on a brazier. On the Black Divorce Candle carve the couple's
full names with the words BREAK UP between their names.
Dress the candle with Break Up oil and
sprinkle it with Break Up sachet powder. For each of the next seven
days burn a portion of the incense
and one section of the
candle. Pinch the candle out between times, never blow it
out. During these 7 days, you will work the spell itself.
The bottle contains 9 Pins, 9 Needles, 9 Rusty Nails, the
Hair of a Black Dog, and the Hair of a Black Cat. These are
to cause pain, anger, emotional incompatibility, distance,
and quarreling between the couple so that they will "fight
like cats and dogs" and seek to part from each other. You
have 3 types of powders.
Each is alleged to produce a
certain result. The more you use, the more mischief is
believed to result. Break Up powder is to cause the couple
to fight. Hotfoot powder is to drive one or both parties
away. Goofer Dust is to mess people up seriously, even unto
death. Choose 1, 2, or all 3 powders;
blend them together if
you want.
Mix the couple's personal items with the sachet powder(s) you have
chosen, then put the mix in the bottle with the pins,
needles, nails, black dog hair, and
black cat hair; if you wish, you can fill the
bottle with Four Theives Vinegar
or plain vinegar to "sour their relationship."
Stop up the bottle
and bury it under their doorstep where they will have to step over it. As you do this, pray aloud
for their anger break-up in your own words; ask
in the name of your God or Saint.
If you can't put the bottle under
their doorstep, hide it in a hollow tree where they can't
find it, or carry it to the nearest
graveyard and bury it
(praying for the death of their relationship), or carry it
to a crossroads and throw it into center of the road
(praying for them to travel apart from each other), or throw
it into running water (praying to have them both carried out
of your life), or mail it to another city (praying for them
to move away).
It is important to properly dispose of ritual remains.
Wrap up any left-over candle wax, incense ashes, and unused
materials in a piece of black cloth. Secure it with black
thread and tie it. Throw it out at a crossroads or bury it
in a graveyard.
Because breaking folks up is an Enemy Trick, you must
cleanse yourself and protect from retribution. To take off
your sin, prepare a bath by steeping the Hyssop Herb in a
pot of boiling rain water or spring water. Light the two
white Offertory Candles , stand between them, and pour the Hyssop bath
over your head while reciting the 51st Psalm ("Cleanse me
with Hyssop; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow"). For
protection,
drive the 9 Devil's Shoe Strings into the dirt
across the path to your door-step to tangle up anyone who
may try to retaliate and
cross you up. Put the
Devil Pod
outside or behind your front door to repel any evil work
that may be directed toward you.
