I've also successfully used a variation on the beef tongue spell when strong Stop-Gossip type work is needed. Slit the tongue down the center, add in the prepared name paper, alum, bitter aloes, red pepper, gagroot, etc. then sew the slit shut and place the tongue in the freezer to remediate the situation.

I have an arbitration coming up. An investigator has advised me that several people conspired to set up me to get me removed.

1) I know some of the names but not ALL -- what do I put on the paper that I put into the cut?

2) Do I have to eat the whole tongue after the case is done?

3) What do I do if it lasts a couple days -- do I continue to let the tongue cook and continue to add liquid?

I need help pretty bad.

Thanks

1) As many as you know, plus the words, "All who would testify against me."

2) No. Please read the page at
http://luckymojo.com/courtcase.html
You will see on that page that eating the tongue is optional. You may leave any remains that you do not wish to eat out in nature for animals to eat -- BUT YOU MUST REMOVE ALL PINS AND NEEDLES FIRST. Do not under any circumstances leave pins and needles in a beef tongue that you set outdoors -- you can kill people's dogs, cats, and other animals that way!

3) You could, or you could freeze it while the case is still on, then when it is settled, remove the pins and needles and leave the tongue in nature for animals, as noted. Or feed to your own cazarniverous pets, if you have any.

You may do so. That is a methodology that was taught to me by an old woman root worker in Oakland, California. Not everyone does this. She was from Mississippi, and that was her way of working it.

Hey Everybody

I have a arbitration which is like a court case on the federal level. There are several people who are to speak against me. Unfortunately, I exposed some procedures that were not supposed to be practiced. I was carrying out these procedures, PER INSTRUCTION of my trainer and boss. If it comes out they indeedwere giving these instructions and acting like I was set up for the fall due to my lack of experience it will be very bad for those people... AND EVERYONE OF THEM DESERVE IT. Because it has made mine a living HELL. The date for the hearing is June 7, 2011.

I do know the name of the deciding official.

Please any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you all and GOD BLESS YOU!

Hello

I Was wondering if I could get someone to boil the beef tongue for me in the pot while I am in court -- is this ok ?

or should i put in the freezer?

whats the best method ?

jwmcclin · Unread post by **jwmcclin** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 6:40 pm

Its according to what you want to happen (http://www.luckymojo.com/courtcase.html). What results do you seek? Why are you going to court, do you want them to shut up, silence them, their words to burn? So the word 'best' is not not what you want here.

Both methods are great old ways to work. You can't do both, but if you want the oldest method, hire someone to boil the tongue for you while you are in court.

Usually when the tongue is boiled, it is eaten, so one would not add spiritual oils.

Hello Fellow Board Members,

I am about to do a freezer spell on the opposing counsel for a civil suit that I recently filed.

I read somewhere that writing their names on paper along with using poppy seeds and then throwing it in the freezer helps to cause confusion (such as missed deadlines, sloppy work, incompetence).

I have a picture of the opposing lawyers from their website, and I was wondering if I could use that instead of a piece of paper to write their names on?

I want to do beef tongue in the freezer for someone. I was reading on the lucky mojo where you write and cross over the name but i will not want to use my name it is not for me use red pepper or cayenne slit the tongue and pin or sew it shut then place in freezer can it be this simple or is there more work that is needed? I have a lot of court case work to do
Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated

You don't use your name in the beef tongue spell unless you want to shut yourself up:

You use the name of the person or people you want to shut up. Follow the directions of the spell and put your prayer into it; it's an old Conjure remedy and many have had success with it.

You also may want to try Court Case products if you have long term ongoing court work.

Hello,
My husband had a head injury at work 4 yrs. ago. Due to the injury, he became deaf and now classified as disabled.
Unfortunately, he'll no longer be able to work as a nurse for the rest of his life. This case is still open and we have a court date coming this month of June. The opposing lawyer is doing all he can, so his client { insurance company} won't pay as much with the injury. I am thinking of doing a court case spell and beef tongue freezer spell on the lawyer. My question is, can I do these spells on behalf of my husband? I also need some advise as to what I can do, for the insurance company to compensate him fairly. Thank you!

I just had an amazing result with an ox tongue. I prepared it & put it in the freezer about a month ago but whilst the trial was on for 2 days I cooked it in the slow cooker to make their words burn in their throat if they spoke against me & make them feel the heat from my bartister. I used court case oil, commanding oil, lots of 'hot' ingredients & spices, chillies etc... I won! When I got home I chucked it in the local woods for the foxes to ravish & finish off the spell.

Hi there - in answer to your question, I ended up getting a reading from ConjureMan Ali, and followed his suggestions of starting an inflammatory confusion jar, and put the names of the board members and their lawyers in it. A lawsuit is a slow process, but so far they have lost their motion to have my lawsuit dismissed so the inflammatory confusion jar seems to be working.

I'm a little confused. MaryBee, you mentioned to the lasy doing the spell not to put her own name on the petition paper unless she want to shut herself.

I read.. to write the target's name, then write your name on top of their names.

If I'm doing this spell on behalf of my husband..would this mean I can't write his name on the paper?

Can you pls. clarify this? Thank you

starsinthesky7 · Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:47 am

Hello starsinthesky7, thank you for the advised.

Checked the link and it says to write your name {spell caster} 9x on top of the target's name.

I suppose to be on the safe side, I'll just won't write my husband's name. I don't want to freeze his speech when being ask by the court.

After reading this topic and the freezer spells on the LM site, I think doing this spell with the beef tongue might be a good thing to do when job interview time comes up. I could write on the paper "all of my rivals for the ___ job", and maybe add a little I Can You Can't as well. I already know how to handle the interviewers.

How far in advance can I do the tongue freezer spell? Maybe if I do it early enough they won't even want to interview?

Hi, all,

I have several names I need to stuff into a beef tongue, but I wanted to know if I need to get more than one tongue in my situation. I have court problems as does my boyfriend. Does this mean we need two tongues? I also am having a problem with his ex being hateful towards me. Does she get her own tongue since she has nothing to do with court?

Psychic Mimi · Unread post by **Psychic Mimi** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:45 pm

I think I should add that in both of our cases, she is involved, although my case has nothing to do with his.

Psychic Mimi · Unread post by **Psychic Mimi** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 10:09 pm

Hi, all,

This was my first time with the beef tongue spell, and I had zero clue how difficult it would be to get the tongue. Not only that, but I was not prepared when a butcher questioned me as to what I was doing with it. He was not asking in a friendly, whatcha makin' kind of way, either. I wanted to say something smart, but I bit my own tongue.

Anyway, I did have a question about it. Has anyone been exceptionally tired after this? Because I can't remember ever being left so drained. What could this mean?

aura · Unread post by **aura** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:12 am

Well miacane00,

how easy or hard it is to get a beef tongue (and how curious people are about it) will depend entirely on where you're from. Down in Quebec, we even have beef tongue pickled in glass jars beside the pickles and they're considered a delicacy by brasserie-goers alongside they're large beer known as a ''quille'' for the shape they have which resembles a bowling pin. But I digress.

That you're so tired may be the mundane side effect of running around, the accumulated worry from the court case, or that you're up against some pretty strong opponents. To be certain a divination would be advised. That said, the first half is done now: you have the tongue and the work is done. Blessings and prayers be with you in success for that spell and keep a light burning with Court Case oil on it meanwhile.

Take care and good luck.

Hello, all,

I used the beef tongue spell Friday, and results came hard and fast because an offer was submitted to our lawyer the following Monday. Now, the offer is not exactly what my boyfriend wanted, but to be honest, I think it was a good deal. I know that for him, any amount of jail time is too much, but imho, I think it was actually a fantastic deal. All in all, I think the offer was better than what I had hoped for when I performed the spell. 8-)

Now, our lawyer thinks he could negotiate it down a bit, so I'm not going to stop him (obviously :lol:

)... However, for the purposes of the beef tongue spell, though, does the offer mean the spell is complete or do I wait until after the agreement is reached? When the spell is done, what do I do with the tongue? I don't remember seeing anything about it. Oh, and I used a 7 day brown candle which is still burning.

PS: Now that we are going into negotiation, is it time for a honey jar spell involving the probation officer? She is the person we have to negotiate with. Once we have an agreement with her, the agreement just has to be signed by a judge, which doesn't involve anything but handing them a pen pretty much.

Doctor Hob · Unread post by **Doctor Hob** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:39 am

You will want to get a honey jar going as soon as possible. They are subtle work, and can take time, so you want a good running start when you have to negotiate with who ever you are sweetening.

The beef tongue spell has run its course when you have achieved the results you wanted at the time the spell was started. If your intent was to see a good deal reached, then hang on to it until everything is resolved. When all is said and done, you can wrap any spell remains up in brown paper, and dispose of it at a crossroads, or tuck it away in the the roots of a tree. Just be sure to remove any pins or anything that could harm animals that cone along.

Psychic Mimi · Unread post by **Psychic Mimi** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 8:16 pm

Ok, I'm going to wait like you said. Thank you for letting me know what to do with the tongue afterwards. I'll be sure to take those pins out, although the animals might want them back after they get a taste of the thing. :lol:

Dear Lucky Mojo Forum,

Working on a court case. Thinking of the tongue freezing spell (with vinegar and ice). Found out my friends have deer tongue, which is off a deer they slaughtered. Thought it would be of good use. However, I have also heard deer tongue causes eloquence (which I think is a root, not an actual deer tongue).

Do you think a real deer's tongue would be ok to use in this application? This would be instead of a beef tongue. Thank you.

Also, since this involves a complicated ownership/property lawsuit/countersuit, how can I get the judge to side with my friends? An ex has created a "slander on title" where they indebted 1/2 of a property over and above almost the full value of the whole property. We would like to see justice be that the person who created the slander finally be forced to sell their half or better yet lose their half entirely with no cost to the people I am working with (who have tried many times to buy the property for a fair price, and own half, who paid for it all the FIRST time, pay all taxes, maintain it, etc.)

Thanks for your advice.

Archangel Singer

aura · Unread post by **aura** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 3:53 am

Hi Archangel Singer,

To get the judge to side with your friend, a honey jar on the judge would be a good idea. LM has a great one that comes with all the ingredients that you need to make it a success: http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatspells.html#honeyjar ''Court Cases, ARBITRATIONS''. Make sure you get a dozen extra brown candles to keep the work going.

For the slanderer, consider burning a combo of Stop Gossip, Commanding and Pay Me lights on their name and picture to get them to shut up and do what's right - AND give you their 1/2 of their property.

Blessings and best of luck.

catherineyronwode · Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 8:10 am

Archangel Singer,

First, let's talk terminology.

Deer's Tongue Leaf is a plant. The plant does have a root, as you noted, but we use the leaves, not the root, in our work. The shape of the leaves resembles the tongue of a deer, hence the name. We are relating the tongue-shaped leaf to eloquence.

Here is the plant:

And here is a Lucky Mojo packet of Deer's Tongue Leaf:

We use the leaves of this plant to increase the powers of speech because the leaf looks like a tongue. This form of magic is sometimes referred to as the Doctrine of Signatures. See my book "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic" for more about the idea that the shape of a plant is God's way of giving os a clue about how to use it in medicine or magic.

There is a brand of German milk chocolate called Cat's Tongues (Katzen Zunger)) -- but nobody thought they were cut off of cats. Look! Here's a box -- my grandmother gave me these every year, in a box just like this!

There is also a kind of French cookie called Cat's Tongues (Langue du Chat) -- and here is a picture of them, too:

So a name is just a name.

Okay, then lets go on to the question of why an animal's tongue is used to stop gossip or to win a court case:

The reason is that by BINDING the tongue, you bind the words of the enemy or opponent. It's as simple as that. Filling it with hot pepper, filling it with poppy seeds, pinning it closed, tying it closed, freezing it, cooking it, eating it -- all of those actions, and similar variations of the tongue spell, are used to STOP THE SPEECH of an enemy or opponent.

Do you need a beef tongue exclusively, as Aura surmised, based on my web page?

No you do not.

A lamb tongue, a kid tongue, a veal tongue, a pig tongue, or a deer tongue will work just fine!

It's about the tongue being from a prey animal -- hence the magician's victory over the opponent's or enemy's power of speech. It is not about the species so much, and, again, the tongue DOES symbolize speech and eloquence in this spell as well, but instead of carrying it with you to have great speech, you symbolically name it for your enemy or opponent and then torture it and bind it, to limit the enemy's or opponent's eloquence.

At my Southern Spirits web site i have hosted a great description of the use of tongue spells in court cases, as given to the folklorist Alan Lomax by the renowned Creole jazz musician Jelly Roll Morton of New Orleans, Louisiana. As you read this, please note that the tongues are from varied species of animals (Morton specifically mentions lamb tongues and veal tongues).

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS NARRATIVE:
FERDINAND "JELLY ROLL" MORTON Born in Gulfport, Lousiana, 1890.
Interview conducted by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress, 1938.

Please so take the time to read this entire page. It is very interesting, and should prove educational to all.

I went to my pretrial court date today, (froze what I thought was the opposing attorney.) When I arrived at the court house I found out the male lawyer was replace by a female lawyer. While I didn't win (by having my case dismissed ) I didn't lose ( judge didn't sided with the other person). Instead we have to meet back in 60 days. (they asked for 60 instead of 30 days).

I want to do a beef tongue court spell that is listed on another page however I'm not sure how to word the name paper. Would I just stated the name of the law office since I'm not sure who they're going to send to court that day.

Miss Bri · Unread post by **Miss Bri** » Sun Oct 07, 2012 9:39 am

I would recommend you get a reading on this and here's why:
In many cases its more effective to SWEETEN the opposing lawyer(s) to you and your side with a honey jar-I have done this many times. The beef tongue spell is to make people shut up and trip on their words and is especially effective when someone is witnessing or testifying against you. If the opposing lawyer is simply inarticulate then the case may be delayed yet again, but if he or she is more favorable to you then chances are higher for a favorable outcome. So with all that said, if you still want to do the spell then yes-for now use the name of the law office but it won't be nearly as effective if you don't get a specific name and (in an ideal world) birthdate.
Blessings,
Bri
