Customers (and the postman even) ask me what does the S.A.G. mean on all my packages? Well, the short answer is that it is a prayer on every order. It an old folk Catholic custom to write the initials for St. Anthony's Guide (S.A.G.) for safe mail delivery on packages to insure they reach their destinations without any problems. It is just one of the old school blessings that goes into the creation and fulfillment of every order. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ Way back in Spain in 1729, the wife of a merchant was in need of the support of her husband who was away on business. So, she tucked a letter to him in the sleeve of St. Anthony's statue in her church believing that he would miraculously deliver it. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ According to legend, the next day the merchants wife returned to the church to check the statue and found not her own letter, but a letter from her husband, Don Antonio. There was also a heavy pouch containing 300 pesos, also reportedly sent by him. The merchant advised his wife that a letter from her had been delivered by a friar of the Order of St. Francis. Don Antonio sent his reply via the same friar. To this day, the merchant's letter is preserved in the church at Oviedo. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ Www.creolemoon.com #hoodoosecrets #voodoosecrets #catholicconjure #neworleansvoodoo #stanthony #safemaildelivery #folkcatholicism #folksacramentals #whatsinyourconjure #creolemoon #folklore https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_wCskA6nG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d41o38wbteq
