Red Ants Questions and Answers

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 6:22 pm

A friend of mine had an idea against an enemy. But I wanted to know what would happen if she put honey on a picture of an enemy, and hoping that attracts ants. What affect would that have on the enemy? I know that ants are messengers, and she is planning on ordering some red ants from lucky mojo (dead ones). But I didnt know what attracting ants to a picture of an enemy would do.

Fire ants to make her go crazy?

If you are putting the fire ants in the jar its going to affect both of them. If you want to do solely her then make a vinegar just for her or in a figural candle such as a skull, but you could use a basic candle. Also, you can get an egg and boil it for about a minute then poke a small hole in the top. Insert any herbs you want to use and include a picture of name paper of the person...Bury it next to a red ants nest, or any other ant thats known to bite. It will REALLY make the person not only go crazy, but they will suffer misery as well usually something physical like getting hurt or pain. Even the nature of the ants i noticed when i put the egg, they tend to go crazy and scatter. In addition, it might be difficult to find red ants nest in the winter. But I would just work on the woman and make HER go crazy, then he will see that and probably leave her. So you could do a moving spell 2 black figures to represent him and her. Put them back to back and have them move away from each other dress them with the appropriate herbs ( you can look on the forum various break up spells) but on her candle put the red ants. Then for the next 9 days move them away from each other.

this is not answering ur quest., but an AIRR worker says she uses red ants 2 make her hotfoot powder. jus had 2 thro that n there

Hotfoot powder and Goofer Dust often contain ground up animal parts or shells of various kinds. Snake skins, scorpions, fire ants, powdered snail shells, and other vermin.

If you have a lock of her hair, dip it honey and toss it in the fire ant hill and curse her to go crazy as the ants eat her hair up. You can also use ants to make them restless.

Cat Yronwode taught me a spell she learned from West Leland, an older worker in Florida; he got it in Georgia, from an old man whom he studied under in the 1940s. The way cat tells it, quoting Mr. Leland is this: “If you raise Chickens, you know what a double-yolked egg is. Well, if you can find one, write the couples’ names separately, one around each end. Bring the egg to a quick boil, but not enough to cook it, then poke a hole in each end. Leave the egg out in the hot sun for five days days to spoil, carry it to a Red Ants' nest and bury it so the Ants can eat into it from each side. When they do, it will tear the two of them apart.”

If you can get your hand on her sexual fluids or menstrual blood you could use ants to stop up and curse her sex.

Dead fire ants can also be purchased from LM and can be used as ingredients in a figurine candle spell, or in a bottle spell to bring about the effect of restlessness and "craziness."

You can add the red ants and see what happens but personally, going 'Crazy" on each other has two connotations. basically what does crazy mean to you. Mental institution crazy? or just acting like she is psycho woman and accusing him of things. I dont get what your meaning is.

As for when I did the egg thing....I used pictures, and even just a name paper and it worked fine for me. so i would actually go with pictures if that is all you have. If you put the ants in the jar it just might make them agitated and restless towards being with each other. Basically you need to put that in your petition and state what you want to happen in this spell so that it can be directed. I mean if you just throw them in the vinegar jar but dont really state what its for you might get something random to happen. In addition, it depends what other ingredients you used. I LOVE LOVE LOVE rust in break up spells. Too bad lucky mojo doesnt sell any but if you can scrape it off a nail or something you are good. Rust makes people fight...not only fight...but fight VIOLENTLY and very very angry. I did this to my ex and his now ex girlfriend. Man there were many times she was punching him, or him pushing her. LOL He even threw her clothes over the fence of the house where there was a busy street. It was awesome. With the right ingredients in addition to the red ants, you can achieve a explosive break up. I would recommend red pepper (cayenne pepper or any hot hot peppers are good), asafoetida (stuff stinks! but it really helps me in break up spells). If you cant get rust, use war water instead of vinegar in your jar because it has rust in it. Or you can add nails because they will start rusting in the water.

Hi Star,
Great post. Quick question.... when you mentioned using a jar or figural candle did you work it for a set number of days and dispose or did you continue to work it. Also if using a figural candle did you actually burn it or did you just use it on the side to represent her? Thanks!

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 1:52 pm

Hi Kiana,

For the vinegar jar, I usually work this is conjunction with something else. So I will shake it from time to time while I am doing another break up spell. Or I will use a free standing black candle, and dress it with break up herbs powders and burn it on there. But I do not get rid of it immediately until I am finished working the break up work.

For figure candles, I answered this in the first pose, but I burn them, a portion over 9 days. Or if it is just one person i am making go crazy, I would still burn it, and burn it over 9 days.

Hope that answers your questions.

Hi,

I went to the cemetery to collect grave yard dirt from some of my ancestors graves. While there, I spent hours looking at other graves and one stood out to me in particular. It was a male grave that was heavily covered with red ants, only his had the ants on it. It did feel significant, but I am not sure exactly why. Does anyone have any ideas what the red ants on this grave were communicating?

Thanks,
Char

Hi char:

Ants can be used in Hoodoo to "run someone crazy", since they're always moving around. Red ants (oh boy, I remember their stings! I used to live in Florida!

) or any other stinging insect can be used in Goofer dust or Hot Foot powder.

If you are gifted in divination, why not do a reading (tarot, pendulum, etc) right at the gravesite to ask the spirit of that grave what the ants mean? If you're not a reader, you can get a 10 minute reading from an AIRR member. The problem is, ants could "mean" something, or it could just mean that someone left some food on that grave and the ants are all over it. You kinda need a reading

Good luck,
Mary Bee

If you are talented at spirit communication attempt to commune with that spirit. It is likely that you'll find the spirit in the grave with all the red ants to be quite helpful in matters of hot foot and intranquil-type workings.

As you noted, Ants are used to carry communications. If "Crazy Ants" (a particular species) are attracted to the paper and walk all over it, you might drive the person crazy -- but i don't know that they are honey ants.

Better work -- more thorough and more sure -- would be to find a large Ants' nest, then smear the paper with honey (but remember, some Ants prefer meat or eggs to sugary things!) and bury it in the Ants' nest, where they will eat it up. It is the eating of the paper that will destroy the enemy. You could call for a skin affliction (itching, inflammation) as the ants walked over the picture, and worse effects as they consumed the paper.

This is a variant of a truly great, world-class, down-home Break-Up or Hot Foot spell (it can be worked either way; i will give the Hot Foot version): You spoil an egg by placing it into hot water for less time than to cook it -- a half a minute. Then you let it sit in the sun for three days, to be sure it is rotting inside. You then punch a small hole in the end with a knife, roll the enemy's name paper or picture up real tight and insert it into the egg, adding Red Pepper and Graveyard Dirt which you insert on the point of the knife. Then you either throw the egg over the person's house or carry the prepared egg to a large Ants' nest, carefull bury it in the nest and allowing the Ants to eat the contents of the egg out -- thus eating up your enemy.

This topic has been moved to the section on Herbs Roots, Minerals, and Zoological curios, and it has been retitled, since the question deals with Ants.

I live in Oklahoma and we always have plenty of ant nests, but I'm not sure how to bury anything there with destroying the nest or the intricate tunnels below the surface. Could someone elaborate on how to do that without causing harm to the hard work those little ants put into their dwelling?

Unread post by **Miss Aida** » Sat Sep 07, 2013 7:03 pm

Good Evening Candijojo,
That's so thoughtful of you to worry about them like that.
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer
Is there any way that you could dig at it a foot away or so? I'm not familiar with their nests and tunnels.
Or maybe go to a website that shows you what the tunnels look like from the inside and then you could figure it out?
Maybe try scraping off a little at a time and see if any ants come running out?
I don't have anymore suggestions. Maybe another Monitor is more savvy about the intricate tunnels and such.
We'll just wait and see who may have better answers.
Take care and have a good evening

RebeccaR · Unread post by **RebeccaR** » Thu Sep 19, 2013 2:23 pm

Hi, I attempted this trick where you poke a whole at both ends so the ants can eat away at both ends. Well, I carefully prepared the egg over three days, I inserted my ingredients, prayed over it, explained to Spirit why I was doing this kind of work and went to bury the egg. So that the contents didn't leak out the bottom I didn't poke the second hole until I had dug my hole in the ground. Well, when I tried to make the bottom hole I broke the egg altogether. I should have been more delicate. Anyway, it all oozed out into the hole I had just dug for it so I covered it up and am hoping for the best.

My question, did I "break my spell" in breaking the egg or is the effect still intact since it's buried? Thanks

Hello, RebeccaR,
I'm so sorry to tell you this but...you have to do it all over again.
Don't worry about it, though. We have all made mistakes. I can't begin to tell you how many I've made in the past. I've learned now to laugh at myself and then think about how I messed up and plan it more carefully the next time around (with great results!).
Sometimes, it's spirit trying to prepare me for any time in the distant future when something is required but, more complicated. Then, I'm suddenly an expert!!
Once in awhile, it is a means of communication from spirit saying that there's resistance. OR not the right spell.
We all learn from experience.
Take care of yourself.

Hi, folks,

This thread is about the use of Red Ants in hoodoo folk magic spells, but if you want to know about how rootworkers interpret signs given by Ants, or any kind of animals, as omens on whether a spell is working or not, we have a sepraate part of the board on "Pets and Wild Animals. There are three threads there on omens:

For information on insects and spiders as omens and signs, see this Forum thread:

Hello, cheekybunny ,

Now, I'm just guessing here. BUT it could be a way to use them to make your target restless until they see you (if you put just a little bit on whatever represents the target.

You've herd the expression: "Ants in their pants"?

Just make sure you remove then when the target returns to you.

Please keep us posted if you decide to do this. Would be interested in the outcome

cheekybunny <------great name!

Miss Aida is right on the money...in the listing on red ants in Miss Cat's Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic, it has a spell for returning someone.

So it's a form of intranquility. Not sure how this would work with the red ants from LM as they are deceased, but at least that's the traditional way they are used to bring someone back.

I need some ideas!

Unfortunately, I do not live in a state that has fire ants; however, I did go to school in Texas so I know all about fire ants, their wrath and how much pain they can inflict! With that said and not having them here in Wisconsin, I have ordered several packets of ants through LM. In fact, I have two more packets on the way which I plan to use in a destruction vinegar jar and also in a doll baby, along with a dirt dauber nest and some dead wasps I killed around my house.

My enemy target revealed on FB that she's deathly afraid of spiders (typical girl, get over it...yes, their creepy but grab a shoe and kill it...but she loves to play the damsel in distress with my ex). Anyway, of course after seeing her pathetic post, I got the idea of using spiders to make her crazy since it's her biggest fear. Problem is, LM doesn't sell spiders, I'm not really finding them online anywhere to buy, and I don't feel like scouting in the deep dark corners of my basement to locate some. I know hotfoot and goofer dust can animal and insect parts, I want spiders!

Here are my questions:

1.) If I did find a spider or two (dead or alive), what does anyone think about putting it in the vinegar jar or sealing it in with her doll baby like in a ziplock bag?

2.) I like the idea of this egg and fire ants thing but again, I have no fire ants mound to throw the egg onto. Would regular black outside ants work? They might not bite but I'm hoping they still might make her restless, annoyed and itchy! I was thinking about smearing ground beef all over a figural candle or skull candle, letting the meat rot in the sun while ants crawled all over it and then lighting it. Sounds nasty and vicious huh!

3.) Does anyone have any other ideas I could do with the fire ants? Or maybe the scorpion tail, idk!?!

Thanks!!!!!

karma_13,

Spiders may be in the products but not for sure. But the products are traditional and will cause more trouble in this girls life then your few dead spiders so focus on what works and not on your random idea. Black ants are not the same and wont work the same so either use the LM product or drive to a town with them and use them their. Rubbing item on a candle or doll to cause an intended affect is something people do, iv read in old writings putting shit, or poop on candles or doll babys to to mess them up. Not sure your goal to rid this girl or kill her lol. You seem to have both options on the plate with the ingredients and work suggested.

Would driving someone crazy be the only way to utilize putting the egg in the ants nest or would you be able to use it for other reasons like "as these ants get full from this egg so shall your life be full of misery" or "as this petition deteriorates so shall your happiness." Thank you.

Hello, Intrigued01

You could try it but I don't know if that would work

Or It could be used to deteriorate the person. Or a relationship.

For instance, I would not light a pink candle with attraction oil and say: as this candle burns, so will your hatred of "so and so".

If collateral damage to the ants when burying articles in their nests is too tender for you, then do not do it. Folk magic spells are done so many different ways that you way simple choose a different spell.
