Lucky Mojo Forum

I was just reading this morning about La Madama.
Thank you for the historical background!

I've been working with the bones and the book since last fall, and am so grateful for it. I've read Tarot for several years, even teaching courses at a local metaphysical store, but the bones are a whole new ball game.

Here in West Virginia, I grew up hearing stories about old folks in the hills ...

I'm at present going through a very slow break-up. We've lived together 3 years, and I'm moving in September to begin seminary. I made the decision to go by myself, and for many reasons I don't want to try a long-distance relationship. He has no job (part of why I'm going alone), so we're still ...

To bathe at sunrise, and take the bathwater (or a portion) to the crossroads and/or pour it to the East are not abitrary details in Hoodoo bath working. These elements are deep in the tradition, and very very old. Some say they may go back past the Middle Passage to Africa, with the emphasis on the ...

I would say yes to both questions.
If you want the oil to attract a specific person, then just make that point clear in your prayers when you put the oil on.
Same with the FMB powder. When you apply a product, tell the product who it's for, whether it's for someone in particular or just to bring ...

Wow.
Thank you so much for this info.

I am a gay male, and I've had positive results with a combination of Fast Luck & Cleo May (even though Cleo May isn't technically for gay men, it works wonders for me). Good stuff. Sometimes I'll add a little QE root in oil.

Specifically, I use the oils to anoint myself after the shower: I rub up ...

I love using Hell Money in my work with my Ancestors, and I've used small bits of joss paper for petition papers before.
These designs are beautiful! I'm going to have to get some with my next order, especially the Star Gods paper with the bats.
FYI: I was told by an Asian man at the local Chinese ...

Just in case: I commit to buying St. Sebastian oil if a batch is ever made.

So what are the differences between the various Jesus formulas? Why would one choose to use Sacred Heart vs. Jesus the King (or vs Infant Jesus or Holy Trinity for that matter)?

I had a Catholic friend (who is very devout and a theology student) tell me that devotion to the Sacred Heart is ...

Amen.
A vigil candle burned in gratitude is awesome (I have a red one dedicated to Jesus burning right now, actually),but the best way to pay Jesus back (in my humble opinion) is to live the way He wanted us to live, and that starts with how we treat the poor and marginilized among us.
I can't think ...

A follow up.
The 3 powders (Van Van, Fast Luck, and John the Conqueror) make a very interesting combination. The JC can overpower the others, so I recommend using a little less of it than the others in the powder blend. The smell is wonderful: a little spicy, a little sweet, and a little masculine ...

I want to echoe the above suggestions regarding daily cleansings, ancestor work, and mojo work. These have become important parts of my spiritual routine.

If nothing else, I find the daily act of praying with my mojo hand before putting him in my pocket gets my day started on the right foot.

I recently used this candle, but not in a Hoodoo context.

In my magical tradition (Feri), the Baphomet is sometimes used to represent the union of all opposites: The figure is female (having breasts) and male (having horns and a phallus), S/He is both human and animal, one hand points above and ...

Detailed instructions on how to use bath products in the Hoodoo tradition are found here:

You'll especially want to focus on the subsection, "The Role of Bathing & Cleaning in Hoodoo Spell-Work." This not only will answer your basic questions, but give you other ...

For reading and research, I prefer the New American or, as Miss Michaele said, the New Revised Standard. The latter was made by a joint team of Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox scholars, with Jewish scholars collaborating on the Hebrew Bible. In the two seminaries I am applying to enter, both ...

I was going through the website planning for my next order, and read that "The Black Pullet" "has long been accepted by both Appalachian and African-American conjurers." As a native Applachian who is very interested in learning more about folk magic from my ancestors, I was wondering if anyone could ...

Thanks for the recomendations!
I've worked with the LM Van Van & Fast Luck in oil form, but not powder. However, part of my confusion was not only what would work best in terms of intention, but also in terms of smell. I have the LM John the Conqueror incense, and it is a favorite as well (JC root ...

I love the idea of mixing satchets in a shaker and powdering myself with good luck after my morning shower. I was thinking about combining Van Van & Fast Luck, and maybe a 3rd. What's a good 3rd choice?
On another thread there was a discussion about adding a "spiritual" oil to any work, such as one ...

A great incense for Pele (from Scott Cunningham) is:

2 parts Frankincense
1 parts Dragon's Blood
Sandalwood
Orange Peel
& Cinnamon
with a few drops of Clove Oil

*I've made and used this with good results.
I also have some lava rocks from Pele's sacred mountain. I have never been to Hawaii ...

An update:
I have been reading the bones for friends, and recently had the opportunity to read bones all day for the public as part of an annual Psychic Fair to raise money for my chuch (Unitarian Universalist).
I am in love with this way of reading! As I mentioned, I've read cards for years, so I ...

Thank you very much for this response; I've been reflecting on it all day.
I've decided to order the mojo, and I'm attachin a note about adding the human bone as you suggested. I am very grateful to you and to Nagasiva.
Thanks again!

This past Sunday I was doing some crossroads work, with a very strong sense of the Man there.

Since then, I've had a recurring dream about being at a crossroads in the deep woods, in late Autumn (cold wind with trees shedding leaves). There is a figure there, who is very indistinct. He hands me a ...

Traditionally, the offering to El Nino de Atocha is candy. Some even give him small toys.
I've also read that he can be offerred rum, but the candy and toys are more in keeping with the fact that he's a child.

Hope that helps

I got my bone book and set last week! I have been studying the book, meditating on the bones that came with the set, and have already added a few bones of my own: a piece of petrified wood, a quartz crystal, a John the Conqueror root, and a chicken wish bone. I was drawn to this tool out of a desire ...

When studying and struggling, I like to burn a little of the Solomon WIsdom incensce before a statue I have of Ganesh. Ganesh is a God of opening doors and removing obstacles, and He's also associated with wisdom and scholarship. LM makes a Ganesh incensce which I like, but when studying I like to ...

On the LM page for "Hot Foot" products there is a spell that involves Hot Foot Oil and a black candle. I can testify from personal experience that this works, even if you don't have access to the person to do a Hot Foot in the traditional way.

I started the spell described above, with some slight modifications. I didn't have all the herbs, so I used a John the Conqueror root, some fresh Ginger, and other money-drawing herbs I read about in "Hoodoo Herb & Root Magic." I drenched the candle in Lodestone Oil, and powdered in with money ...

Queen Elisabeth Root oil is a good aphrodisiac for men to attract men (I attest from personal experience).

I start a new project for work today. I have my first ever office, and a pretty harsh dead-line. I have till the end of March to complete a heavy-duty project involving mental health literacy for veterans and their families. Its being funded by the Department of Defense, which means if I get this ...

I'm in my senior year of college, working on an English Lit degree, so I'm constantly reading, studying, and writing long analytical papers. I keep a Ganesh statue at my study area, and last semester I started petitioning him with a pinch of the LM Solomon Wisdom incense whenever working, especially ...

I can think of TV programs which promote hate, including towards me as a gay person, and I can appreciate a desire to hex 'em off the air. But I like the idea of the "Cut and Clear" and "Cast Off Evil" suggestions are good for that. I can't control the world, but I can choose not to let them rule me ...

This thread gave me a lot to think about. Thank you to everyone who shared in it. I was especially moved by the Deacon's Prayer, and other comments on that sort of ecstatic devotional prayer that just comes pouring out of the heart. Those comments really touched me.

I appreciate what was said. I've been reflecting on it (and the songs) before responding. Part of the problem was that I didn't communicate clearly, but that has provided me an opportunity to learn something that I'll have to set with for awhile. You've both said things that really affected me, and ...

And I can say from personal experience that the QE in Oil is awesome! It smells great, and it does get a man's attention

A thought on the comment above about using or not using Catholic saints when you're not Catholic. One of the things I love about Hoodoo/Conjure is its immediacy; I don't need to wait on God or any other spirit to do it for me. With some roots/herbs, minterals, oils or powders, and so on, I can draw ...

And they're Tibetan. Most often they have a horse with 3 flaming jewels on the back. This is the wind horse, a sacred spirit animal in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The 3 jewels are sometimes called "wish granting jewels." I love prayer flags, and the couple I've gotten from LM in the past with ...

Thank you for giving me the proper information. That was very informative, so I'm going to go back and read this thread to make sure I'm more accurate in the future. I'm trying to make sure as I do my personal pagan traditions that I keep accurate about what Hoodoo is and isn't, and it pleases me to ...

My understanding of Hoodoo is that it doesn't really worry about things like a Mercury Retrograde, or astrological timing (which is Western/European, and Hoodoo has its roots in African magic). So I don't think there would be a specific Hoodoo/Conjure answer to your question. But I have a personal ...

Personally, whereas I don't think its "wrong" to do both, it seems excessive. Hot Foot drives someone away and Goofer Dust.. well ... its name means "Killing Dust."

I'm in a situation myself right now where I want to just blast someone with everything I have, but my more rational-magical mind is ...

St. Expedite.

I come from a Christian background where anything remotely approaching magic was forbidden in the strongest possible terms. Once I started practicing magic as a pagan, it seemed like I had to make a clear break between the two. Hoodoo has been very helpful in enabling me to bridge the gap between ...

I can attest to Black Arts, wormwood, and mugwort being great for calling spirits. I'd also recommend, especially for more benevolent forces, the Abra Melin products. These are based on the formula in the Old Testament for the oil and incence of Jehovah's Temple. Abra Melin and Black Arts are ...

I'm also a former Jehovah's Witness, so I'd like to say something also.

As someone who now practices Goddess-centered Witchcraft, and who stumbled onto Lucky Mojo a year ago, I can say that Hoodoo has had the unexpected side effect of really helping me deal with some of the Christian imagrey from ...

What kind of herbs, scents, etc. are found in the Hindu God products, and how would you recommend using them?
The oil would be used to annoint candles, and the incense to burn, with petitions to the Gods ala saint work; that seems self-explanatory, but what about the powders or baths? How would ...

I've always been told that after doing any sort of so-called "negative" work, you should cleanse as soon as possible. The tradition I've been taught is to use Hyssop in the bath and recite the 51st Psalm (I think that's the right one, where it actually talks about having one's sins cleaned away by ...

Thanks! I have a better idea what product(s) I actually need to get now.

Flora: thank you for your story.
I have been practicing and studying Hoodoo on my own since early last summer, and have been thinking a great deal how it has effected my life overall. I am a full-time college student with little money, but want to learn more. Having experienced powerful energies at ...

Currently planning my next LM order (and waiting for the funds), and I'm wanting to know the difference between the Uncrossing, Jinx Killer, and Fear Not to Walk over Evil formulas. I read the pages, and it seems Fear Not is primarily for countering work done with foot tracking, while Uncrossing has ...

Here's my two cents:

First, LM products are prayed over when they're put together, so there is not a need to "heat them up" or "charge them" or anything like that. Just clearly state/focus on your specific prayer, wish, or intention when laying your tricks or doing your work. However, if you want ...

Correction!
sorry, I made an innacurate statement above when I said She is understood as "Death Itself" by Hispanic devotees. That is true of a some of them, but not all. In some folk contexts, she is believed to be the vengeful spirit of a women who committed suicide after her husband cheated on ...

Loved this thread!
I forget how Santa Muerte came into my life, but as a NeoPagan I always had a thing for the Darker Goddesses. A statue of Her stayed on my Ancestor Altar, until a house fire resulted in many sacred things being boxed away.
My boyfriend uncovered Her, and though he's not pagan he ...

So how far back in Hoodoo history do Hindu deities go? In reading the LM pages, I learned that certain figures/spirits/saints/gods associated with good luck just got picked up by Hoodoo in the 20th century, sometimes with different associations or meanings than they had in their original context ...

OMG
I can't believe I found this topic!
I just got done writing my testimonial about how St. Expedite came through form, but I left a detail out there.

In the midst of the crisis I was having today, which was URGENT, and which I did a very by-the-book offering for him to fix, I got angry. I said in ...

You can also ask the spirit/saint who She is.

Inspired by all I've read on this forum, I ordered a St. Expedite print some months ago, and just last night had occasion to use it. Following the instructions on the LM St. Expedite page, I made an offering of a red candle annointed with St. Expedite oil & Fast Luck Oil, and sprinkled the candle ...

I had a similar question, regarding what exactly constitutes "negative" and "repelling."

My first order included "Black Arts" Oil (Which I love!): does that count as "negative"?

I also have Black Cat Incense, which I know can repel or counter bad luck (which is why I bought it), so is that ...

The last post on here was a while ago, but as a gay male I'd like to add my own experience to the mix.
I have found for some time that Queen Elisabeth Root is a miracle worker, either the powder or the oil.
I also had success recently with Dixie Love & Bend Over together to get a straight-but ...

I am so happy to report this success story.

I am a gay male, and my best friend, who I've known for many years, is straight. However, we've been close for years, and I have always felt a sexual attraction to him which caused me a lot of stress. Three years ago, he admitted after some alcohol that ...

Conjure Man Ali : I agree that the "Dark Man" is the Hoodoo form of an old African crossroads Deity. In researching I found references to the "Dark Man" not only as a man but also as a small child, which makes sense given that in some African tribes the crossroads God was an old man ("Papa Legba ...
