I ordered a human finger bone and I lost it. I don't know what that is about. Is that a bad sign?

(Well, i lose things all the time and take it as a sign of my not having good mental focus on the subject. If something is dear and near and important, you tend not to lose it; in other words, it is not so much a bad sign based on what it is, but not a good sign of your mental concentration on the work you were hoping to do with it. --cat)

missdiamonique,

As someone who works with bones frequently albeit in another
tradition, I wanted to make a brief observation - yes, I can be brief.

Bones are not mere objects. They are recepticles of spiritual energy,
most specifically that of the person who they belonged to when alive.
As a result, there is another intelligence involved. Sometimes they
have a will of their own. While your own attention may be at issue,
and I won't say it isn't, it may also be that the individual whose
bone it was, simply didn't want to be a part of your planned work.
There is a very fixed rule in Palo, and the principle applies to
Hoodoo if you are going to include bone, that the individual agrees to
the work and is paid for it, much like when you buy grave dirt from
the cemetery. Nothing is done without asking or without paying the
spirit. The use of bone has become rare in Hoodoo, or at least in the
literature of Hoodoo, but the principle of buying graveyard dirt
demonstrates that it observes the same rules as does Palo on this matter.

You might try lighting a candle for the spirit of that bone and asking
for permission to use it and offer to pay it for its services. If it
accepts, you will find the bone. If not, well, where it went will
remain a mystery.

Yeah, I clearly put it on my table. I have not lost anything else I
ordered and my boyfriend didn't see it so I know he didn't do anything
with it.

So a white candle is fine? As in, just a candle or flowers or something?

missdiamonique,

Maybe after a while we develop a gift for knowing when something is a coincidence and when there is a rational explanation and when there is not.

One time I ordered an Adam and Eve root and named them for myself and another man and was so careful with them and when the Adam root suddenly and mysteriously disappeared that time, I knew there was no rational explanation. I was so careful with those roots but when I think about it now, I realize I was not really sure of this man deep down and was more sure of my goal of having a good relationship someday with someone and not that man necessarily.

A few years back, I got a pack of Cat's Job's Tears to make a wish about another "love interest". I was so careful with those Job's tears. I walked out into the woods with intention to cast them over my shoulder into water and I stood there in the woods and counted them out and there were 7 and then I looked in my palm and noted that there were only six tears. I looked on the ground and could not find the other one anywhere. Maybe there are times when there is no rational explanation but part of it is some inner knowing on our part that we are not completely connected to this thing we are doing and the spiritual world is hearing us and responding

If you include a human finger bone in a gambling mojo bag, I imagine it would be wise (and considerate!) to both communicate with and show appreciation to the spirit of the individual to whom that bone belongs. Does anyone have any suggestions for working with that spirit and/or acknowledging and thanking him or her when success is achieved? (Beyond the standard care and feeding of the mojo, of course.) Thanks!

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

The standard care and feeding of a mojo hand should be sufficient to maintain the spirit. You may smoke the mojo hand with an appropriate incense (or tobacco smoke) as part of your standard care and feeding. You may offer verbal thanks, and/or offer the spirit a white candle and flowers as a thank you for successful work.

Well, I can only speak for my self but my gambling hand: I took the bone in my hand and prayed and gave the spirit my thanks for this and asking that spirit to help me in my work. But that's not really different then what I do with all the items I put into a mojo. I also put out a glass of water with a bit of Florida Water to it the night I made the mojo as an offering to the spirit.

I am curious as to the origin of the finger and hand bones offered for sale by Lucky Mojo. The only information is that they are legal to posess. Are they from India? America? How old are they? I'm curious. I'd want to at least know a little more about where they came from before I ordered one and began working with it.

The LM catalog states that they are "For use in mojo bags for extreme gambling luck in games of chance; also used in Necromantic and Black Arts work." My question is: If used for gambling, would the bone attract negative energies/spirits?

To Mama Micki

The spirits of the dead are regarded as drawers of good luck (if treated well and fed).
In the case of the bones in question one would normally work with the spirit they belong to, the concept of the dead as a being who draws (neutral) or, if used in cursing a gambler, as something who will bring bad luck to him/her.

I had a piece of one of my back teeth break off today. I don't think I recall seeing anything about teeth in Cat's book. Anyway, before I throw it out I was interested if I can add it to any luck/money workings. Cause it's not everyday you get a biological specimen like that from yourself. Well, HOPEFULLY, not every day.

I'm hoping I can do something with it for attraction work.

It could be used as a personal concern for yourself.

I don't know of any lore regarding using adult human teeth for luck-type work, only some animal teeth. I've heard of mothers using baby teeth from their children to craft strong protection or blessing for them. And I've heard of teeth being used in crossing-type work to bite-back at someone. But not in luck.

But if you wanted to use it as a way to link a trick to you, then there's no reason why you couldn't.

Where do these human bones come from?
Are they from donors?

LOL - they come from the same legal sources that other suppliers and users of human bone get them from. Some Googling will bring up the info you're looking for.

In addition to human bones as hoodoo curios, we also carry Tibetan Buddhist goods manufactured from human bone for use in ritual practice. These are to be found under the section dealing with Altar Tools and other religious supplies.

Is there any "proper" way to dispose of a personal concern such as teeth? I was just curious. My husband lost a tooth by accident and was just going to throw it away, but I had him hold on to it. I'm really leery about things like this. I was taught growing up that those things can be used against a person.

For my own children, I have kept all their teeth to make them a protection/luck item as they have been growing up out of it. Could I use my husband's tooth for something similar then?

Odessa,

1) Some people save their teeth to be buried with them, some people bury the teeth ahead of their own death. (And some people don;t care -- but you are not one of them, nor am i.)

2) Yes.

Good information all...

Dark_Damicelle, human bones are legal to sell in all states in the USA. I suppose people's attitudes toward them vary from the all-out amterialistic to the all-out spiritualistic -- just as people's attitudes vary about the role of nature in our lives, whether we should keep pets, who should be allowed to marry whom, and what is the best brand of hot sauce. It's not our role as suppliers of spiritual goods to judge those who do not see the world in the same way that we do.

Your other question belongs in the mojo bag sub-forum in the thread about mojo bags and is too off-topic to be answered in this thread.

Hello! This is mostly directed to Ms. Cat as it is a question about what I need from the company.
I recently got a copy of Graveyard Wanderers, a necromantic ritual book from the Swedish folk tradition. Many rituals require the use of human bones, either to be carried or whatever. Now, I don't want to go around digging up graves to obtain such relics. And the issue I have with just ordering bones online is that if I get the bone and the spirit refuses to work with me. Also because I like intimately working with the spirit, I prefer to know its name and preferences of payment.
So, could someone at lucky mojo curio co with the ability to perform such a work be wiling to try find a bone that's in stock willing to work the ritual I need as well as get a name? I hope you will be ableto accommodate this. If not, I understand.
Thank you.

Hello, Euoi,
You might want to call the shop and ask them about the bones: (707) 887-1521.
Take care

Here is a few items that LM sells, there may be others,

...as Miss Aida recommended, call the shop to be sure on this issue.

Euoi, we do sell human bones here at the shop, but there are a few issues with your request. We do not know the names of the individuals where these bones originate. We have an excellent source for our bones and this source gets them mainly from folks that have donated their bodies to science. Their names have long been left behind.

What I would suggest is seeking out a rootworker who works with spirits to help you with your ritual. You might check out the rootworkers on AIRR to help you. (www.rootworkers.com)

Best of luck!

Thanks all. I'll give the shop a call.

If you don't know the name of the spirit, I can probably obtain it through summoning the bone's spirit through simple necromancy.

Why have the price of human bones skyrocketed ? I used to be able to get those carpal bones for less than twenty dollars....

BewitchingBelle,

I will be bluntly honest. used to be no one wanted human bones except a few Paleros. Then in 2011 i gave a course in bone reading and we began to sell bone reading kits In 2012 i wrote the book "Throwing the Bones," about bone reading, and suddenly everyone wanted them. The supply ran low and it can no longer meet demand. Such is life -- and death.

Place that human bone in a mojo bag, and smoke the bag with tobacco, for success when gambling.
