Luckyboy, just because something exists, that does not mean that there is any use for it in folk magic.

This forum was created to help people chose and use Lucky Mojo spiritual supplies. Its not a general occult or folk magic discussion board.

But, to quickly answer your question, Cinnamon has a different magical usage than Ginger. You can learn more about them at our Herb-Magic web site:

Good luck.

Dates (the fruit, not the activity) are not mentioned in Hoodoo Herb and Root magic, but I am seeing them crop up as a sweetening ingredient in other traditions such as middle eastern-based work.

Dates are used in some Middle Eastern practices, especially those derived from Arabia and North Africa. They are often used as offerings, in love spells, and other rites. That said, I do not know any uses in African American Conjure.

Hi Mrs Cath:

It's been a while since I have spoken to you. Hope you are well.

I have a problem at work. Another co-worker has been putting salt mackerel in my patient's laundry. Everything is smelling so fishy -- her beddings, clothes, rags, towels, bedpad, etc. My patient is bed-ridden so she is stuck there.

There is also some in my laundry at my house too.

Could you please tell me the reason why the other co-worker is doing this and what can I do about it.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Wilma:

I have never heard of the use of salt mackerel in hoodoo. If she's doing this on purpose (so she didn't accidentally drop her lunch into the laundry bin, for example), it could be for control or something. Have you mentioned this to your manager? I'm a nurse myself so that just shocks me, a patient all bedridden being exposed to something that smells so bad :(

You may want to get a ten minute reading from an AIRR reader to find out if this coworker is trying to fix or curse the patient and you.

Good luck,
Mary Bee

I agree with the above work and worked as a cna in nursing homes, I for one would go to the DON or the admin, that is something a patient espically one who is bedridden and can't speak for themselves when needed, if it's something to help thats one thing but what patient who has to live in bed really wants to smell fishy?

The question I have is a bit of a departure from the focus of the topic thus far. It's about spicy food.

Spicy things such as red pepper are typically used for causing discomfort in the target of a spell. But there are many people who enjoy spicy food.

So the question is: when a person eats spicy food, are they basically applying hotfoot powder to their own selves by doing so?

Intent always plays a major role, of course. A secondary question would be whether the effects of any given herb are likely to be felt even without a strong conscious intent.

That's not the default, no. But red pepper, black pepper and garlic are also used in protection work.

Of course, the cook could turn a good curry or mess of chili into a hot-foot dish with fervent prayer.

You mean, will putting store-brand salsa on your taco drive you out of your home and force you to wander the world forever?

Seriously, how often does that happen? ;)

Hot spicy East Indian curries are some of my favourites when it comes to marriage work. Coriander and cumin are classic additions that encourage good conjungal relations and fidelity; and combined with lots of ginger and a little cayenne to spice up the bedroom later in the evening... well... you get the idea.

Thai and Vietnamese curries and soups on the other hand are great for protection and uncrossing work with their liberal use of lemongrass and garlic. The heat there tends to give them strength and potency in what I've thus far experimented with.

For crossing work, it would be fascinating to try an batch of vindaloo: with the massive use of cayenne, vinegar and black mustard the recipe calls for - no doubt some damage could ensue. Although cooked lovingly, with white mustard instead of the black and containing the full head of garlic called for: it, it's still one of our household's favourite protective and tasty meals!

...ok, curry rant is over now ;) ...

Wonderful idea! But I've been told, by people who really know their conjure, that cayenne is pretty dicey for love work. I once had a client, for instance, who was steered wrong and put chili peppers in a honey jar to bring her man back. He came back home, all right, but they fought constantly!

I'd say a prayer over the dish, calling on the red and black pepper to protect the situation, to stand guard against interruptions, attacks and bad luck.

Yes, and the dish of fresh herbs on the table to sprinkle lavishly over everything, which always includes BASIL.

LOL! Thank you for the warning Miss Michaele - it will be borne in mind and I like the use of the pepper as a ''guard'' for future dinner-work.

While in our case the cayenne has never caused a fight - it has pushed to the surface deep rooted issues which we hadn't been willing to discuss and needed attention and resolution (strong discussions and uncomfortable subjects). So user beware...

Traditionally, Wicca teaches to do for yourself and that's where the understanding of herbalism many Wiccans possess comes from.

The so-called "magical" properties of bay laurel, for example, lays in the fact that they possess eugenol (without the levels of thymol found in cloves, for example) so they are one of the traditional ingredients in chicken noodle soup, and one reason chicken noodle soup is so good when you have a cold.

The effects of eugenol will still affect you whether you believe in them or not.

Now, would bay laurel be an appropriate burnt offering to the far shooter when asking him for psychic powers? Sure. But I'm not sure why you'd do so or how you could do it accidentally while cooking.

The simple fact remains that if tomorrow all the technology was gone and I was the last human on earth I'd know what local plants to eat for a cold... although I'd be more likely to go get canned goods and the like..

I was just wondering if herbs become less powerful and effective over time? At what point should you just buy new herbs to use, instead of using old ones?

If you are at all good at psychometry, let the spirit tell you when your herbs are expired. Otherwise, well, if they are too stale to use in the mundane way (whether cooking or medicine), they are probably too far gone magically.


Hope this helps,

No, we do not carry that herb. We do carry both Wormwood and Mugwort, which are closely related to Southernwood and are used in similar ways.

Its not. There are many, many different kinds of wasp, and many kinds of flying insect erroneously called a wasp, within the USA. What most would call a regular wasp nest is generally made by a paper wasp, these are very aggressive insects. Dirt daubers, or mud daubers make a nest out of, wait for it, Dirt or Mud! The insect itself is very peaceful, you near have to sit on one to get it to sting you, and they are home body's, one of the two mated pairs, usually the male, always stays at the nest to watch over the larva while the other member fly's off to gather food.

I'm sure you can see from the descriptions that the two species, and there nests have very different uses in magic.

Hi renascent,

I've used the single herbs such as borage, goldenseal and feverfew in infusions without trouble. Do make sure you're aware of the effects of what you're consuming however since many herbs are toxic and/or interact with other medications and foods in your diet. Furthermore, you never know what you might be allergic to, so do the sip test first! But Miss Cat would be the expert. (and taking a tea internally CAN BE conjure work BTW... ;) )

Blessings and best of luck.

I am somewhat familiar using herbs as infusion, however I noticed Lucky Mojo had herbs for teas and conjure.

I was just curious if there was any difference between the two.

It would sure help to know the language of your grandfather's culture, for there is no "universal language" on Earth.

For instance:

Tulsa is the name of a city in Oklahoma that was settled by the Native Americans who were forcibly removed there by President Andrew Jackson in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act. Creek medicine men planted ashes from their old home at the new site; the name refers to a town in what is now Alabama that was known to the American invaders as Tallasi, Tallase, Talise, Tullahasse, or Tallahasse, meaning Old Town. Early spellings of the Oklahoma town by Anglo-Americans included Tulsee and Tulsey Town.

Tulsi is the Hindi name for Basil herb.

Atobi in Japanese means "grooves in a sword carved by someone other than the original sword smith."

Atobi is a proper male name among the Akan people of Ghana, and it means "evil."

Atobi means "worn out, tired, fatigued, or wan" in Somali.

Atobi is the name of a tribe of people of the Solomon Islands in an area known as Latea.

Is there a link to purchase gunpowder on the LM website? I can't seem to find a direct link for it already made/mixed.

If not, then would it be best to get the 3 ingredients (charcoal, saltpeter & sulphur) and mix them all in equal 1/3 parts?

(here's individual item numbers for those who are also looking to mix it up, if need be):

Charcoal: ALT-CHA-D10P

Saltpeter: MIN-SAL-PETE

Sulphur: MIN-SUL-POWD

We do not sell gunpowder. We do not give out recipes for gunpowder. We do sell some ingredients that are included in gunpowder (and are also used for making many other things), but the making of gunpowder is too dangerous for us to describe to customers whose experience levels with chemical reactions and whose mental stability as well may vary a great deal.

I apologise in advance if following question has been covered before.

I have heard somewhere that distilled/deionised water kills the God-given property of herbs, dried and fresh. Is this true?

Some root-workers on the other hand recommend distilled/deionised for hygiene reasons especially if the herbs are used in a brew fit for human consumption.

Madame Morose,

I've never heard of this in my life. I am 64 years old and was raised by an herbologist mother and have used herbs medically and magically since i was 12 years old. It sounds like a load of bollocks to me. In fact, it sounds like a load of perniciously anti-natural bollocks, because what i was taught was to use natural spring water or rain water in preference to tap water when preparing for the use of magical herbs in teas and cookery

Pseudo-scientific EXPEN$IVE equipment to "deionize" water has never been a part of the folk magic of any people on Earth, to the best of my knowledge and belief.

I didn't see it in the catalog either and HHRM doesn't offer an alternate name. You might try to call the shop during business hours and ask if it's available. For as extensive as their herb catalogue is there are some herbs and roots which are either difficult to obtain or raise, rare, endangered or otherwise unavailable.

Squiill Root is "a dangerous irritant poison, producing inflammation of the alimentary canal, and urinary organs, and proving fatal in the dose of only 24 grains of the powder." It suppresses coughs when mixed with serious opioids such as heroin, morphine, and opium. You can no longer even buy Indonesian-made African Sea Coconut Cough Syrup from us because it has Squill Root in it and the FDA has banned its import. Sorry, folks.

Hello everyone!:)

I've recently been thinking a lot on the uses of non-traditional plants and herbs in hoodoo practice. I've been thinking about how everything has spirit- energy in it. You see I live in a suburb of Atlanta, and I'm seventeen; so High John, Chamomile, Five-finger grass, and Damiana like herbs are extremely hard to get. Plus, I don't have money presently to buy them online.

The result is me having to study extensively what these herbs may look like to be able to identify them, which is impractical in terms of actually "doing' conjure work. Though studying is good- you gotta actually do what you study!

So my question is this- how can one figure out the uses of non- traditional plants and herbs, from let's say China, or Brazil. We have alot of monkey grass, English ivy and kudzu around here. And a whole' lotta other stuff! I'm itching to know the energy paths of these so I can use them in love, money, blessing, or other works. I'd appreciate everyone's input on what they think, and their experience and advice on the matter. If I could, personally, get hold of the powers of these different varieties- my work would be even more satisfying and empowering!

P.S.- I'm not trying to avoid the common plants and herbs. I just don't have them!:)

Referring to your introduction response by Mister Hob. "This is a site about traditional American hoodoo, and the information and advice you receive here will be in regards to that tradition." Even as you may do a Google search and receive 100's of 1000's information on any subject, if you want the true reliable information, you will get it here. If you need herbs, you do not have in your city, state, etc. you better believe that Lucky Mojo has them...oftentimes readily available. On average herbs cost $3.50-$4.00 according to what you order.

Papalegba,

You are seventeen, you say, but you are not the first man who has walked the earth. Always ask the elders, shamans, witches, and medicine people who live where plants grow exactly what they are used for and how they are deployed. Don't try to re-invent the wheel.

As for expense, you should purchase a copy of "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic" for $16.00 and a used field guide to the plants of Georgia at any used book store for about $5.00 - $10.00. Then follow this three-step system:

1) Since hoodoo originated in Georgia and the South, all you will have to do is go to a local state or regional park and start observing what grows there in nature. Once you have learned to identify the plants around you, you will be well on your way to learning how to use them.

Hoodoo Herb & Root Magic, Paperback by cat yronwode
$18.00

2) Next, go to a plant nursery and get some herbs to grow. If you live in an apartment, buy some containers for them; otherwise, grow them in the ground. Before you purchase them, ask the sales people at the nursery which are the easiest to grow. Start with three easy ones. You will now have a good supply of those herbs for your work.

3) Purchasing herbs online from the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. is cheap and easy. Packets are $3.00 each, except for some of the whole roots. Here are three that you might wish to start with:

BOT-JOH-WRSM
John the Conqueror Root, Small
$5.50

Image

Image

HER-SOU-ROOT
Southern Dixie John Root, Whole
$3.50

Image

Image

HER-LJC-ROOT
Little John to Chew Root, Whole
$3.50

Image

Image

With these three "John Roots" you will have the basis for one of the most traditional mojo hands made, the Three Johns Root Bag.

Hi,

Reading Cat's Herb and Root book - a wealth knowledge, thank you Cat for sharing your knowledge. It's a must have staple that I'm enjoying.

Question: interested in getting a pair of Adam and Eve roots and matched pair of blood root chips stated in her book. I can't seem to find either on the herb section to purchase. Any direction to these roots/chips would be appreciated?

Loves-n-hugs!

Adam and Eve Roots are a federally (and internationally) protected endangered species. We do not traffic in endangered species.

We do sell blood roots in pieces; you can make your own pairs.

Salt peter is an ingredient in gunpowder. If you cannot find gunpowder, saltpeter can sometimes be used as a substitute. Check with your rootworker to see if this is the case in this case.

Gunpowder is used to make fireworks and ammunition, so if you have either of those lying around you can "harvest" some from there.

Must i use obscure herbs for domination or may i use cumin seeds and rosemary and other common herbs? Is it imparative to purchase the exact herbs?

Like for a nation sack could I substitute an adam and eve root for the more expensive John the conquerer or Orris root?

Hi stillsosola,

The best investment that you can make is Miss Cat's Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic. It delves in depth into each root and herb and tells you how each can be used and then some. That way you can substitute as you see fit. That said, you can't bend the rules until you've learnt them and know them so well that you are perfectly aware of what your swaps will do to a given formula - yet another reason the book will be your ''less for more'' choice with regards to Conjure Shopping: http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodooherbmagic.html

Adam and eve root aren't sold anymore out of respect for the endangered status of the plants, so don't even consider purchasing it (chances are you'd be getting a dud anyhow).

Finally, please do keep in mind that this is a forum for Lucky Mojo Spiritual Products and thus it is somewhat insulting to refer to the web-hosters of your own questions as ''grossly over-priced''.

Blessings and Success in your work.

You can always stick to Lucky Mojo oils, powders, and bath crystals, and can be assured that the proper herbs are added to the products.

stillsosola --

Adam and eve roots are protected under federal and international ENDANGERED SPECIES laws and anyone pretending to sell these roots to you to you is selling you FALSE GOODS -- usually Landscaper's Fir Tree Bark chips -- not a root of any kind, just bark mulch from a plant nursery that they purchase by the 50 lb. bag and resell with a fake name.

I haven't really tried ordering from Lucky Mojo yet. I was raised in a more hispanic/mediterranean tradition in which culinary herbs are more often used, but I am very interested in african root work. is miss cat's book for sale on site? I can't find it on amazon.

Hi stillsosola,

you'll find that African American Rootwork also uses many house-hold herbs and minerals :)

Miss Cat's book is available for sale via Lucky Mojo and Amazon, as well as other distrobutors; here is the info page on it at the bottom of which there's a link to purchase - it's still a favourite reference and re-read for me: you'll find it quite invaluable: http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodooherbmagic.html

Blessings.

Having just watched a Dead Files series program, Amy Allan mentioned a product called Tar Water, which she said comes from New Orleans. One drop of this in each room and you will never have any spirits in your home again, good or bad. Does anyone know where this product can be purchased?

Thank you for your help or advice.

This is a forum to assist the customers of Lucky Mojo Curio Company. I don't believe that Lucky Mojo sells tar water.

We don't sell tar water because it is carcinogenic and althoough you may get by with one bottle now and then, i do not want to be filling hundreds of bottles and ruining my health.

I've stumbled upon a huge collection of perfectly spherical, sandstone rocks. Some are pretty large (golfball size) and some are tiny as marbles. Apparently they're some kind of sandstone concretions, and they are sold under names such as called Shaman Stones, Thunderballs, and Moqui Marbles.

They're significant in some sort of Native American practice, but I can't seem to dig much deeper than lots of new-agey information. They radiate this amazing spiritual energy and I've never seen them anywhere before.

Do these have any use in hoodoo? I'm thinking about including small ones in mojos.
