Invoke St.

Expedite for Quick Results

Denise Alvarado

I receive so many emails from people wanting to know how to get relief, and how to get
relief fast so I thought I would share a couple of spells here that involve petitioning St.
Expedite. Truth be told, I need to share his name and work because he has been extremely
helpful to me and others that I have shared his talents with and one of the conditions of him
helping you is that you have to agree to spread his name and tell others about how he has
helped you. So don't forget that if you try one of these spells and find that he answers you.

Saint Expedite is the patron saint of those who need fast solutions to problems, who strive
to put and end to procrastination and delays, and who seek financial success. His feast day is
April 19. In Haitian Voodoo, Baron La Croix is often represented by St. Expedite. In New
Orleans Voodoo, he often represents Baron Samedi, the spirit of death.

In hoodoo, it is customary to offer St. Expedite pound cake, flowers, and a glass of water. In
New Orleans, we typically offer him Sara Lee pound cake. He is believed to grant any
request within his power provided the petitioner recommends his invocation to others. In
this tradition, his image in the form of Holy Cards and medals are used in gambling charms
and crossing rituals.

According to a legend, Saint Expeditus was a Roman centurion in Armenia who was
beheaded during the Diocletian Persecution in 303. On the day he decided to become a
Christian, the Devil took the form of a crow or a snake and told him to postpone his
conversion until the next day. Instead, Expeditus stomped on the animal and killed it,
proclaiming, "I'll be a Christian today!"

Here is a popular spell that you can use to petition St. Expedite for just about anything you
need fast.

St. Expedite Spell to Get Things Fast

Perform this spell on a Wednesday. Light a red candle in a glass jar. I used a cinnamon
candle. Place a Holy Card of St. Expedite on your altar and set a glass of water next to his
image. Write your petition on a piece of paper and place it under the candle. Then, say the
following prayer:

Saint Expedite, you lay in rest.

I come to you and ask that this wish be granted.

____________ (Express exactly what you want, and ask him to find a way to get it to you.)

Expedite now what I ask of you.

Expedite now what I want of you, this very second.
Don't waste another day.
Grant me what I ask for.
I know your power, I know you because of your work.
I know you can help me.
Do this for me and I will spread your name with love and honor
so that it will be invoked again and again.
Expedite this wish with speed, love, honor, and goodness.
Glory to you, Saint Expedite!

Recite the prayer once a day until your prayer is answered. Allow the candle to burn down.
When your request is granted, pour the water into the empty glass candle holder, and place
fresh cut flowers in the candle glass. When your request is granted, thank St. Expedite by
offering him a piece of Sara Lee pound cake (In New Orleans we are rather adamant about
this, but I have heard reports from others that using any brand of pound cake will do) and
be sure to tell someone how he has helped you. If you do not thank him in this manner, he
will take back your request and then some, so be sure to remember this step.

Okay, here is another version of the spell from my soon to be released new book The
Voodoo Doll Spellbook.

St. Expedite Spell to get Rid of an Enemy

Perform this spell on a Friday. Write the name of your target on a helium-filled red balloon.
Make a very small Voodoo doll out of red fabric, anoint with Fast Luck Oil or St. Expedite
Oil, and attach a medal of St. Expedite to the doll. Light a red candle. Place a Holy Card of
St. Expedite on your altar and offer him a glass of water and say the following prayer:

Saint Expedite, you lay in rest.

I come to you and ask that this wish be granted.
____________ (Express exactly what you want, and ask him to find a way to get it to you.)
Expedite now what I ask of you.
Expedite now what I want of you, this very second.
Don't waste another day.
Grant me what I ask for.
I know your power, I know you because of your work.
I know you can help me.
Do this for me and I will spread your name with love and honor
so that it will be invoked again and again.
Expedite this wish with speed, love, honor, and goodness.
Glory to you, Saint Expedite!

Tie the balloon to the Voodoo doll and release into the air. The person should leave in
whatever direction the wind is blowing. When your request is granted, thank St. Expedite by
offering him a piece of Sara Lee pound cake. If you do not thank him in this manner, he will
take back your request and then some, so be sure to remember this step.

St. Expedite Spell for Financial Relief

Here is a spell for money emergencies. Take a white and a green candle; carve your name on
them lengthwise with a pin. Anoint the candles with St. Expedite Oil or Fast Luck Oil. Light
the candles and pray to him until he grants your request. Pray to Saint Expedite:

I call forth the Power and the presence of St. Expedite in my time of financial trouble. I
offer my body, heart, mind and soul upon your altar of light. I have faith and trust and
complete confidence that you will be my strength in this time of need. Quickly come to my
assistance.

Bring to me ____________ (Clearly express what you want, and ask him to find a way to get
it to you.)
My financial need is urgent. Be my Light and Guide in this situation so that I may live with
peace, love, prosperity and abundance and in the Praise of God.
Amen.

Now promise to give Saint Expedite some Sara Lee pound cake if your desire is granted. Tell
him you will spread news of his work as well by taking an ad out in your local newspaper so
that his fame will grow.
