  • Buy, print, or draw a representation of Saint Expedite or one of his allies–Elegua or Hermes, for example. Set up the image someplace with space to burn a candle and put a few little gifts. I have a computer-printed image taped above a bookshelf, and use the top of the shelf for his offerings. You can also find his candle at a botanica or drugstore and use that.
  • Give him some nice stuff! He and his team like red candles, red flowers, a clean glass of cool water, dimes, keys, candy, and toys. Elegua’s number is three, so I made my gifts in threes.
  • Make your sincere request. There are plenty of formal prayers to Saint Expedite out there. I think a moment of quiet and a sincere request for help in your own language is as good as it gets. And it can’t hurt to ask three times, while you burn a red candle. Tell Saint Expedite exactly what you will pay him when he comes through for you. He generally likes rum and Sara Lee pound cake as payment, although who knows what he’ll ask for–try to listen, and not only speak, and maybe he will tell you. But be clear on the terms of your deal, whatever that deal may be.
  • Keep your red candle lit (as is safe and practical) and keep his altar fresh and well-stocked–but don’t give him payment until you get what you want! In between your request and its fulfillment you can rest easy because Saint Expedite is handling it. If you start to worry or fret, just tell yourself, “It’s in Expedite’s hand, and he is already solving it.”
  • When you receive your request, give Expedite his pound cake, rum, or whatever else you promised. If you didn’t get it, don’t. But if you’re not sure (a half-way type situation), give him the promised payment. They say if you don’t pay Expedite, he will take back what he gave and maybe more, as well. Better safe than sorry,and pound cake is cheap!

  • I recommend you keep your altar going, keep it fresh and nice and stocked with water, flowers, and maybe an occasional gift of toys, rum, or whatever feels right. That way, the next time you need his help, you are already on good terms and ready to go.
  • MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL is, as with St. Jude, you must publicly thank St. Expedite when you get your wish! For bonus points you may provide instruction, as I have, in how others may seek his help.
