Cleo May products originate from an olde-time New Orleans formula designed for working girls who sought to attract high-end clientele with the ability to pay large sums of money in return for sexual favors. This way, the women didn't have to service as many men in one day. Today, Cleo May products are still used with similar intent, i.e. drawing men with money, finding and keeping a Sugar Daddy, or developing a relationship someone who has the potential to raise the economic status of the woman. Now, Cleo May products are not used solely by prostitutes anymore; they are used by any women interested in upping their financial game by securing a man with means.
This candle bears the image of vintage photograph of an actual prostitute from the Storyville area of New Orleans. From Wikipedia: "Storyville was the red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana from 1897 to 1917. It was established by municipal ordinance under the New Orleans City Council, to regulate prostitution and drugs. Alderman Sidney Story, a City Councilman, wrote guidelines and legislation to control prostitution within the city. The ordinance designated a sixteen block area as the part of the city in which prostitution, although still nominally illegal, was tolerated or regulated. The area was originally referred to as "The District", but its nickname, "Storyville", soon caught on. It was bound by the streets of North Robertson, Iberville, Basin, and St. Louis Streets. It was located by a train station, making it a popular destination for travelers throughout the city, and became a centralized attraction in the heart of New Orleans. Only a few of its remnants are now visible."
The photograph was taken by John Ernest Joseph Bellocq (1873–1949), an American professional photographer who worked in New Orleans during the early 20th century. He is known for his haunting photographs of Storyville prostitutes. The photo is in the public domain.
To use: Write your petition in the area provided on the back of the candle. Five spot it with Voodoo Mama’s Cleo May Conjure Oil. To “five-spot” means to dab the petition in all four corners and the center. Anoint yourself with the oil behind the ears, on the wrists, behind the knees, and in the pubic area. Light the candle, say your petition out loud and allow the candle to burn down. Repeat your petition daily. When the candle has burned down, keep fresh cut flowers in it and keep in your boudoir.
Creole Moon's fixed glass encased candles will burn for approximately seven days or 120 hours. They can be reused once they have burned down as vases for holding flowers, turned into a container spell to keep on your altar or refilled with wax to burn again. They are simply too beautiful to throw away and the creative conjurer will find many possibilities for using the decorative glass container once the original wax has burned down.
