"When times get hard, it is the person who is truly blessed who can count on a steady job that pays a fair, working wage, with no danger of unexpected lay-offs or down-sizing. Finding a good job is the concern of many, and keeping one the sincere desire of many more. STEADY WORK is an old and traditional formula alleged to meet this need."
-- The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. catalogue
Like the rest of the Lucky Mojo line, this product contains genuine herbal essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. Lucky Mojo labels are adapted from vintage packaging and in many cases the images are as traditional as the ingredients themselves.
Here is an old-fashioned African American job-getting spell from the hoodoo rootwork tradition:
Get a white crucifix candle and two blue offertory candles. Carve your name on the Get a white crucifix candle and the words STEADY WORK over and over on the blue offertory candles, going round and around like the stripes on a barber pole. Dress all three magical candles with Steady Work dressing oil .
Write a description of the type of job you want on paper. Sign the paper by writing your name at right angles across the job description nine times. Draw a dollar sign in each corner of the paper. Dress the four corners of the paper with Steady Work anointing oil . Place a pinch of gravel root or Steady Work sachet powder (or both) in the paper and fold the paper toward you to bring the job toward you. Fold it again, still folding toward you. Place the paper beneath the crucifix candle. It is traditional to put the paper under an overturned cream saucer and set the crucifix candle on top of the saucer. Light all three candles. Hold the blue offertory candles in your hands as you pray for a job, using your own sincere words. Replace the blue offertory candles on the altar. Let all the candles burn until they go out.
Whenever you send in a job application, dress any papers with Steady Work sachet powder and if you leave home for a job interview, keep a Steady Waork vigil light candle dressed with Gravel Root and Steady Work anointing oil burning over your name paper (in your kitchen sink is a safe place to burn it if you are not home). Carry Gravel Root and a pinch of salt in your pocket and look the interviewer or prospective boss in the eye as you speak.
How you choose to use Steady Work spiritual
supplies is, of course, up to you, but one very traditional
methods is to employ them in conjunction with the 23rd Psalm, while praying for all that is
desired.
Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen.
