How to Use Sachet Powders: Questions and Answers

[JayDee]

Chels,

I would dust them with a make up brush while focused on your prayer and petition. See the dog coming to you. Then tap it lightly and draw snake like lines in it top to bottom with your nails. When done pray over them. I like to stick things I dress under a glass dish and dress with oil and place it on top while I pray to God with my petition. When done I would hang the posters. You can stick all the posters under one dish, dont even need to do that step just one I prefer to do. You can also blow the powders in 4 directions at a crossroad stand in the center. Make a petition paper, burn it to ash, mix the ash with your powder and blow it in the 4 direction each time calling your dog home and stating your petition.

Beautiful, thank you!

I’ll be seeing my target for another date on next Friday (hopefully neither of our babysitters cancel on us) so I was wondering if I could use some powders on him.. I don’t want to carry the packs themselves Incase he catches me with them so I was thinking.. Can’t I just put them in a compact with like eyeshadow or blush powder (take out whichever comes in the compact originally & that I won’t use anyways) it would be kiss me now & love me powders since the only others that I have are return to me and reconciliation which I don’t currentl need.. But I was wondering what others thoughts on here were about doing that? I could keep a blush brush or eyeshadow brush with it that way I could lightly brush it on items in his truck or even his house if we go there again & if he sees me then I can just play it off like it’s scented makeup that I’m putting on.. Thoughts? I haven’t seen anyone else mention that idea so hopefully if everyone thinks it’s a good idea it can help others in the future Thank you!

CuriouslilThing,

Yes you can use the powders in this tricky method. Many ways to use powders and doing so unnoticed is often preferred lol. Dust things that he will come into contact with, sprinkle in his shoes telling him to come to you, on his pillow telling to think of you. You can also cary the oil with you and wipe in items lightly as well. Best of luck!

I have a question about making black salt -- I'm not certain this is the right category to ask.

I'm preparing to make black salt. Many recipes suggest using ashes from a fireplace or BBQ. I was wondering if temple ash -- ash from burning insense during contemplation or meditation -- would be appropriate.

I also wondered what other herbs might be appropriate. I've read of the following: pine, rue, bay leaf, peppercorn, and clove. Maybe black mustard or black sesame?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Desert Lavender,

The forum is to help customers in their use of Lucky Mojo products. We don't advise on making products at home.

You can find real black salt here:

I hope this helps. Good luck.

[JayDee]

Desert Lavender,

I have never made black salt I personally purchase it from LM. Here is a link to it: http://www.luckymojo.com/salt.html
Also see :http://www.herbmagic.com/salt-black-pack.jpg
In addition, if you own cats herb and root magic book you can read more about it on pages: 173-174. On page 174 it is mentioned under two workings, 1. to hurt an enemy, 2. to move someone out.
I would not use temple ash unless the ash was from work directly related to the use of the black salt.

[Desert Lavender]

Thank you, JayDee.

I actually found a whole section on ash on the site, and then wanted to delete my post before anyone replied to it, but was out and about. Le sigh.

I have Cat's book but didn't expect it to cover ash. This site is just so rich with content it's sometimes hard to find things, and of course my desire is to know yesterday!

If I were to use powders instead of Chinese Wash as a floor wash for house cleansing (because 90% of my house is carpet), would I have to dispose of the vacuum canister remains in the same way as the wet floor wash? Also, would I need to do the cleaning before dawn or could I do it the day before and then dispose of at dawn? Also, what powders would you recommend for this purpose? thank you!

[Miss Athena]

Hi curiouslyhere,

For carpeted areas, I like to sprinkle the powders onto the carpet then sweep them towards the front door with a broom. That way, I can collect them and dispose of them the way I would dispose of the floor wash water.

You can do it the day before and dispose the following dawn.

The powders you would use are dependent on your goal. For removing any spiritual messes in your home, I would use Uncrossing.

[curiouslyhere]

Thank you! I don't suspect any spiritual work being done on me. I'm trying to clear out the space after a breakup. Would uncrossing still be the right choice?

[Miss Athena]

Hi curiouslyhere,

It would still be OK, as it clears out any negative energy lingering in a space (whether sent there intentionally or just residual energy). Sometimes bad arguments include harsh words which are their own form of curses, so it's a good general practice to clean up those spiritual messes after a breakup.

We use Chinese Wash as a means of doing just that, so this would be an appropriate powder replacement.

Good luck.

[curiouslyhere]

Okay, great! Thank you!

[LaJaguarina]

I was wondering if it was OK to dust myself with sachet powders when I have no specific target in mind. I just wanted something to give me a more alluring effect on the general public when I’m out and about.. make me stand out and have more people “drawn” to me like a magnetic pull

If so.. I wanted to hear what the lovely moderators would recommenced? I was leaning towards Bewitching.. not sure which other powders would have that effect.

Im on the mobile site, so I’m really sorry if this was already asked and answered before. (I searched in the search bar with the search terms and didn’t find anything)

[catherineyronwode]

LaJaguarina,

It is a great idea to dust yourself with any sort of spiritual sachet powder that suits your situation, whether for love, money, charismatic attraction, business success, or gambling luck.

The use of lucky dusting powders goes deep into the African roots of hoodoo and is one of the magical methods that sets hoodoo apart from the magic of other cultures.

[SpellsnSuch]

I've read a few pages on this thread, so excuse me if this has been asked already..

I am going to lay my mix of break up powder, destruction powder, & graveyard dirt (I prayed and asked a spirit to help me with my spell), in addition to the ashes of black cat hair/dog hair burned with their names on a piece of brown paper torn apart (spell from miss aida's destroying relationships book).. mixed with local dirt. everything was purchased from lucky mojo.

i plan to lay this mix on my targets doorstep, in his garage, and in his bathroom.

i will pray for the other woman and him to fight & break up. (she is a drug addict single mom prostitute, so yes i do believe it is justified and they should not be together). to my knowledge she is at his house at least once a week.

i can only leave it at his house because i don't know her address.

so, to make sure i don't trick myself, how will i go about doing this?

i plan to focus on the other woman and him the entire time i lay down the powders, use their names in my curse, and wear protection oil when laying my trick.

is there anything else i should know/do?

thank you for any assistance

[FiachnaCybele]

Hi SpellsnSuch,

Sounds good to me! The general understanding in Hoodoo is that tricks only work for the one you lay them for. Just make sure to call their names as you lay the powders down, and they shouldn't negatively effect anyone but those two.

As Miss cat says, they make destructive powders and oils in the shop every day, and they're still standing!

Just remember to cleanse and protect yourself afterward, and you should be all set. You can use Hyssop herb made into a bath-tea to cleanse, and recite Psalms 51.

I think of it like I just threw dog crap at someone. The next step is to wash your hands (cleanse), then take cover (protect), in case they try to throw it back.

Good luck!

[bythebeautifulsea]

SpellsnSuch,

Fiachna gave you wonderful advice. Just wanted to add that I think wearing protective oil is definitely a good idea.

Walking backward as you are laying the trick (as Miss cat describes in her description of laying powders) will ensure you don't step in it. Of course, calling their names into the powder will focus the intent, but personally I'd try to avoid stepping into it if possible.

As Fiachna said---take a cleansing bath with hyssop praying Psalm 51 afterwards, followed by protection. I'd advise to do that as soon as you get home without putting it off.

I once made the mistake of not cleansing myself shortly after hotfooting someone and broke my foot and ankle the next day...the only time in my life I have ever had such an injury. Sure, maybe it was coincidence...and I have to add, in my situation as well it was an extremely justified case. But the irony of hotfooting someone (quite successfully, I might add) and badly breaking my own foot the next day really taught me a lesson about cleansing yourself properly after laying a negative trick. I certainly don't believe it was karma or backlash, but I do think it's possible that negative work you throw can stick to you if you are prone to absorbing energy around you.

Again, just my own experience and your mileage may vary! I personally do tend to be quite "absorbent", so I'm sure this does not apply to everyone.

Best of luck with your work!

[SpellsnSuch]

Thank you both for the advice,

Bythebeautifulsea -
You said you successfully hotfooted someone before with powders, about how many times did you lay the powders down for your target before you got results or even saw movement?

I also have hotfoot powder from LM but im hesitant to leave it at my "boyfriends" house.. i know im supposed to only call her name into it but still.. i may leave it at her "job" instead.

i know every case is different but its nice to know an example of what worked for others.. i would PM you but there is no button for that anymore.

[bythebeautifulsea]

Spellsnsuch,

I'm really glad you asked, because I actually started thinking more about the situation (which was a few years back) and remembering more details after I posted. I wanted to clarify some things I brought up and actually tried but couldn't edit my post to do so! Anyway, in my situation, it was pretty complicated--there were 3 troublesome individuals I needed to move away. Two were a married couple (it was not a love situation in my case, I needed them both gone but did not want to break them up). I attempted to hotfoot all 3, and this was how it went down:

For one person (not part of the couple) the results were immediate. Within a day he packed up everything and left the house he'd been staying in for 7+ years. He actually left the country for several months. He did eventually come back to the US but moved to another state when he got back and never came back again to that house. So that time was only once and results were immediate and dramatic. I did follow up with barberry and other work to keep him gone, not sure if it was necessary but I did it anyway. It has stuck.

For the couple (the situation I mentioned above where I broke my foot after doing the work.) I theorized above that perhaps I broke my foot afterwards because I hadn't cleansed myself properly. But after posting that I remembered a lot more details about the situation (it was a while ago) and I recalled that there had been an ancestor involved, protecting the man of the husband/wife couple I was trying to move away. It was his deceased mama and she was pissed. I was relatively new to the work, flying by the seat of my pants with nothing to guide me and I don't know how I knew that was the case but I just did. She came to me very clearly. And because of her protection, I was unable to hotfoot him/them. HOWEVER---I did get what I wanted ultimately---him/them leaving--- by apologizing to his mama, befriending and WORKING with that very same spirit. She would not allow me to curse/hotfoot him(/them), but was very willing to help me to draw him (along with his wife and family) away to a better life and blessings elsewhere near HER family---ultimately he ended up getting a very good career opportunity many states away. So in the end these 2 other individuals also did leave as I wanted---but it took several months more (maybe 6 months total) because I had to change my overall approach from cursing to blessing; instead of hotfooting them, I had to draw them toward blessings---albeit far away. They were earth-sign homeowners as well so I'm sure that added to the timeframe! but man that house sold FAST once the opportunity came! In the long term scheme of things I was actually thrilled it worked as quickly as it did because it easily could have dragged out for years. So in my experience: hotfooting will usually work right away if it's going to work. If it doesn't-- ESPECIALLY if you get a bad sign----you may need to approach from another angle, like attracting/drawing toward a blessing elsewhere instead of hotfooting. But if you don't get a bad sign, and you do see movement, I don't see the harm in repeating the laying of powders. Hopefully your situation is much more straightforward than mine was! But definitely take that cleansing bath afterward and protect yourself, and be open to messages from spirit in case you're meant to go about it a different way.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

[Miss Athena]

Hello SpellsnSuch,

The number of times you would need to lay down powders to affect your target will vary based on a number of factors including weather, foot traffic from other people, your skill in laying tricks, your target's resistance to the work, and whether the work is justified in the first place, among others.

Asking others on the forum what their experiences were like as a measure of what you can expect is not going about it the right way. It's also treating the forum as a blog, when this is the customer service interface of Lucky Mojo to advise people on how to use their products.

Do your work, pay attention for signs and re-do it as often as you feel necessary given the results and environment.

And don't lay Hot Foot powder at your target's home unless you want to drive him out of town as well.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

My question is more about technique. I've tried blowing sachet powders off the palm of my hand, left and right as appropriate, only to have the whole pinch blow off in a single blob. How do you blow sachet powder so it spreads? I keep imagining a cloud of dust but all I seem to get is a clump. Guessing I should try spreading the pinch on my palm before I blow. lol

[catherineyronwode]

Major_Tom,

I spread the powder very thin across my palm and i blow from a very low angle, with a sharp puff. I also clap my hands with a sliding outward gesture, to release the last part of the powder.

[Major_Tom]

Thanks Miss Cat.

[Sc35261239]

Good day everyone,

Almost every morning, I put some sachets powders on my chest. Then I get dressed. My chest starts itching after several days of doing it. I don't sprinkle it on because I don't want any wasted. I feel like I need direct contact to my skin to get the full effects. Any suggestions? If I mixed it with body cream, do you think i would get the same effects

[catherineyronwode]

Sc35261239 --

Allergies are very individual. Our sachet powders are made on a base of food grade Arrowroot powder, but, like all vegetable-derived products, Arrowroot is not hypoallergenic nor is it chemically inert.

In addition, there will be a small amount of powdered herbal matter and essential oil in each powder, and that will vary by the formula of the title -- and you may be allergic to some herbs but not to others. For instance, in my case, after 35 or more years of exposure to Mugwort, i developed an allergy to it and cannot have it on my skin at all, but no one else in the shop is allergic to it. And, likewise, one person who has worked here for several years has developed a slight allergy to John the Conqueror Root and no longer can make products with it, but everyone else can handle it, including me, and i have handled it for 50-plus years. In other words, allergenic responses are individual and somewhat unpredictable.

Once an allergy develops, it is unlikely that it will go away. Your body perceives the allergenic substance as something to be gotten rid of, and reacts with itching, hives, or redness.

You have some choices:

1) Applying powders lightly with a makeup brush will reduce the amount in contact with your skin.

2) Washing the area daily will reduce the build-up of contact.

3) Discovering which herbal ingredients are causing the problem will allow you to choose other formulas.

4) Test the carrier powder: simply order a packet of unscented, undyed, uncoloured Arrow Root powder and apply it, and if it turns out that your allergy is specifically to the carrier, Arrowroot Powder, you can switch to the use of oils instead of sachet powders.
