Hoodoo Hot Foot Spells, Recipes and More

Hot Foot Spells are one of the most traditional and time-tested spells in hoodoo. Hot Foot Spells are used when you seek to drive someone away from you, make someone leave, move out, go away, get fired, etc. In rootwork terms, they are a forceful and effective way to compel someone to leave, without doing them genuine harm. Almost all forms of Hot Foot Spells use Hot Foot Powder or some of the ingredients found in Hot Foot Powder.

Hot Foot Powder

Hot Foot Powder is one of the oldest and most traditional sachet powders used in hoodoo. It is mainly composed of all manner of hot chilis, sulfur and other highly irritating or "hot" ingredients, ground into a fine powder mixed with either talcum powder or cornstarch (Dr. E. Products uses corn starch for our powder base as talcum powder is a mild carcinogen).

Hot Foot Powder is usually deployed by sprinkling it on the ground where your target will walk over it. This works through the principle of foot track magic: magically affecting your target through the feet, as the feet are what carry a person through life. Additionally, a person will typically track substances into their home or car after walking through it thus introducing it into their private space. A particularly effective way of hitting a target with Hot Foot Powder.

Because Hot Foot Powder has such a distinctive color and is easy to see, it's usually best to mix it with equal parts of local dirt to hide its color from your intended target before sprinkling it.

Hot Foot Oil (GTFO! Oil)

Hot Foot Oil or GTFO! Oil (Dr. E. Product's brand name) is an oil version of Hot Foot Powder that is useful when you want to drive someone away but can't get them to walk through Hot Foot Powder. Hot Foot Oil (GTFO! Oil) can be used on doorknobs, keyboards, phones, chairs or other objects that your enemy will touch. They'll get the Hot Foot Oil on their bodies and it will magically hit them on a physical level. Since it is invisible it's best to use on objects that will be handled instead of Hot Foot Powder (with the exception of paper - do not use GTFO! Oil (Hot Foot Oil) on paper as it will wick into the paper and stain it).

Hoodoo Hot Foot Spell to Make Someone Move Away

This is one of the most traditional ways of using Hot Foot Powder and it is very effective. Take a packet of Hot Foot Powder and mix it with equal parts of dried local dirt. Sprinkle* this powder across your enemy's doorstep or across the walkway leading up to their home. Make sure to name your intended target and command them to move away, go away or find their blessings elsewhere. I like to say "(So and so's name) with this Hot Foot Powder I burn your feet and light a fire under your ass to make you move away! In Jesus' name I pray! Your blessing lie everywhere but no longer here. Go elsewhere and find those blessings because your time here is DONE! Amen!"

Make sure to also sprinkle powder on the ground around the driver's side door of their car, and across the threshold to their workplace if you can find it. If you are targeting a co-worker then sprinkle some under their desk or around their work area. It won't affect the people you don't target so don't be afraid about walking over it yourself.

*A note on how to use Hot Foot Powder: When you sprinkle Hot Foot Powder, walk backward bent at the waist, and call your target's full name, commanding them to go away. Walk an odd number of steps when you sprinkle (3, 5, 9, etc.).

Hot Foot Bottle Spell to Get Rid of a Roommate

If you are sharing a living space with someone and want to make them go away or move out, you need to hit them with a harder Hot Foot Spell and this Hot Foot Bottle Spell is just the trick. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 packet of Hot Foot Powder
• 1 empty bottle
• 1 used dirty sock belonging to your target

Make sure to use a dirty sock that has not been cleaned for this trick. It will have your target's sweat on it and this will hit them on a physical level. Put the sock in the bottle and add in about half a packet of Hot Foot Powder. When you cap the bottle pray over it and ask God to drive the pestiferous roommate away from your house, force them to move away and leave you alone for good. Then take the bottle to a river that runs out of town and throw it into the river over your left shoulder and don't look back. The person will run out of your life just like that river runs out of town. (If you do not have access to a river, then you can also toss the bottle into a crossroads way out on the edge of town to drive that person out of town.)

Next return home and sprinkle Hot Foot Powder in the roommate's shoes. Put some in their bedroom under their bed. Put some in their foot powder if they use some, or in their talcum powder if they use that on their body. Put it everywhere you can so that they will constantly be hit with the Hot Foot Powder and be driven out of your home for good. You can even double up by using GTFO! Oil (Hot Foot Oil) on the doorknobs in the house, dripping some in their shampoo bottle or body wash.

Hoodoo Hot Foot Recipe to Get Rid of Coworkers

How often have you been asked to participate in a pot luck at work? This is a perfect time to affect your bothersome coworkers with rootwork on a very powerful physical level by feeding them spells and powders. Just remember do not eat the food yourself - you don't want your Hot Foot Spell to backfire on you!

Hot Foot "Aztec Chocolate" Cupcakes:

• A box of chocolate cake mix from the store and the required ingredients to make it
• A cupcake pan
• Metallic cupcake liners
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• Coffee
• 1 packet of Hot Foot Powder
• Chocolate frosting

Mix up the cake mix as usual, but replace the required water with an equal amount of fresh brewed coffee. As you stir constantly in a counter-clockwise direction as you make the mix. Add in 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a good pinch of Hot Foot Powder and blend well into the mix. Fill your cupcake pan with metallic cupcake liners, and as you place each one pray over them stating "May all your gossip and wicked deeds be reflected back at you! I hold you accountable for your gossip, for throwing me under the bus and for your conniving at work. In Jesus' name I pray!" Pour the mix into the metallic cups and cut a double cross into the top of each cake. (An equal armed cross with a second cross bar in it) Bake as the cake as usual. Once the cakes are baked, allow them to cool, then frost them with chocolate frosting in a counter-clockwise direction continually commanding your coworkers to leave their job either willfully or forcefully. Pray with great emotion.

Serve up your kitchen conjure Hot Foot Cupcakes at the pot luck and make sure your most hated coworkers have at least a taste. Make sure to let them know they are Aztec Chocolate cupcakes and they have a bit of a kick in them. Then sit back and watch the magic work.

A Hot Foot Hoodoo Candle Spell

When you can't sprinkle Hot Foot Powder where your target can walk over it, another approach is to apply some sympathetic magic and use a figural candle. These can be obtained in either male or female forms, and I typically use a black candle since I am afflicting the target to make them leave. The process is very simple, and the ingredients are easy to come by. Here's what you'll need to cast a Hot Foot Hoodoo Candle Spell.

• 1 packet of Hot Foot Powder
• 1 bottle of GTFO! Oil (Hot Foot Oil)
• A black figural candle of the appropriate gender for your enemy
• Pins
• Crushed red peppers
• Hair, fingernail clippings or a photo of your target
• a plate

Take the figural candle and carve your target's name into the back of it. Then on the front of the candle carve "Go Away!" Dress the candle with GTFO! Oil (Hot Foot Oil) by wiping the oil from the head of the candle down to the feet, stroking away from you as you command your enemy by name to get the hell out of your life forever. Place the personal concerns for your target (hair, fingernail clippings or photo) under your plate. Dust the candle with Hot Foot Powder and place it on top of the plate. Dust the entire plate with Hot Foot Powder, and make four little "roads" of crushed red peppers, leading away from the figural candle toward the top, bottom, left and right of the plate (simulating your enemy standing at a crossroads of crushed peppers. Place pins in the candle's butt and feet stating "So-and-so,  you cannot rest or stand still until you get the hell out of this town and out of my life forever! In Jesus' name Amen!" Then light the candle and let it burn as you yell at the candle calling it by your enemy's name commanding it to get out of your life and out of your town forever.

Let the candle burn all the way down but keep your eye on it as Hot Foot Spells tend to burn fast and often erupt in flame. Be cautious. Once the candle is done burning, gather any unburned wax from the spell and the personal concerns under the plate into a small paper bag. Take this to a river the runs out of town and toss it into the river over your left shoulder. Don't look back. (If there are no rivers around then toss it into a trash can near a crossroad, and don't look back.)

A Client Testimonial about Dr. E.'s Rootworking Consultations

The following testimonial was sent to me by one of my clients that I recently did some work for.

Dr. E's work on my behalf has been very successful. I had a problem with a jealous co-worker who excelled at ruining other people's reputation by spreading rumors and lies through a network of contacts she has developed through the years. These people do not work for her directly, so they do not know the true nature of her information. She decided to target me this year, which would have ruined me professionally and hurt my family through lost wages. I contacted Dr. E as soon as I found out she had started spreading her lies about my work and reputation.

He immediately began work on my behalf to protect my reputation from her gossip and slander. Since he did the work, the target has not spoken about me nor spread the usual rumors that she does. She only managed to "black ball" me with a couple of companies which tells me that his quick work stopped her in her tracks. She hasn't written about me on her blogs (my google searches have kept me informed on that front), nor has she sent me any nasty emails. This is great! I know her other venues are public appearances, blogs, on-line magazines, the trade papers, etc. There is a big trade show coming up that I am not attending and rumor has it the something has popped up that is keeping her from attending (thank you again, Dr. E). The damage she has done to others is far worse than she has been able to do to me (thanks to Dr. E's actions). I highly recommend Dr. E's work to help in situation that requires immediate intervention, as well as his wonderful product line that has help bring peace and prosperity into my life.

'Tis The Season ... To Be Trickin'!

You never thought you'd be saying "trick or treat" around Christmas time, but this is the best season to hit people with some hoodoo when they least expect it. Does this make me hard-hearted and a grinch? No, but I am a very practical rootworker, and I understand that people who are stressed out and have their guards down are easy targets for magic. 'Tis the season, indeed!

Holiday Cards Laced with Powders

This idea actually came about when working on a case for a client. He is faced with a hostile work environment where his job has been given to another guy in the office, his coworkers are a bunch of gossips and his boss is weak-minded and unwilling to give him back his job (even though the replacement is completely incompetent.) The premise is simple; use magical powders to affect everyone in the office by tricking holiday cards and giving them to people.

For the guy that took his job - a Merry Christmas card dusted with Hot Foot Powder. He opened the card, touched the paper and got the magical hit - then he promptly hung the card up in his cubicle. Jackpot!

For the gossiping coworkers matching Happy Holidays cards each dusted with STFU! Powder to stop their gossip and protect him from their nasty rumor spreading. Some took the cards home (where they sit as time-release protective amulets affecting them as they rest in the comfort of their homes). Others put the up outside their cubicles, affecting the entire atmosphere in the office. No more gossip, and that's a good thing.

For the boss, a Happy New Year card with warm wishes for the year to come - laced with Boss Fix Powder. He propped the card up on his desk where everyone could see it, and where he could be affected all day long to work in accordance with my client's will, for his best interest, and to stay out of his personal space when working.

Holiday Treats with Irresistible Magical Power

Christmas cookies and other holiday treats are a great way to affect others - be it your coworkers, your neighbors, family members or a love interest. Simply mix in the magical affects into the frosting on those cookies, or into the batter itself!

To make that guy you like love you even more, put a tiny bit of your menstrual blood into that red frosting on heart shaped cookies. Or add a pinch of Attraction Powder into the frosting.

To get those obnoxious upstairs neighbors that stomp around all day to move out and leave you in peace, make up a batch of "Aztec Chocolate Cupcakes" that are nothing more than chocolate cupcakes that you put some Hot Footing herbs into. Now... you don't want to poison them, so just use red chilis, a bit of cayenne and black pepper.

And if you really want to hurt someone (which I don't recommend unless it is a justified case in the eyes of God - like a rapist or a murderer) you can put Goofer Dust into their rum balls to leave them crawling on the ground, howling like a dog. Or you can putting live things in them. Try putting some ground up horse hair in a cookie, or spider's eggs in their vanilla creme frosting-topped cake.

A Present For You - WITH A PUNCH!

Once of the most handled items in the holidays is WRAPPING PAPER! Just turn that paper over and sprinkle your powders on the back of them, then dust off the excess, give it a snap with your finger and wrap up the present for your intended target. If they rip through it, they'll get the powder on them. If they carefully work their way through the paper in order to "save it" that's even better! They'll take the magically affected paper into their homes and keep it for quite a while.

Here are some ideas for powders to affect people:

• Money Draw Powder - to get delinquent clients to pay their bills, or to influence your rich relatives to be a bit more generous
• Attraction Powder - to get that cute guy or girl to pay more attention to you, or you can send out promotional gifts to prospective customers to draw them back to your business
• Evil Begone! Powder - to affect a mate that's trying to stop a bad habit like smoking or drinking
• Love Me NOW! Powder - to make someone fall in love with you (great when wrapping up romantic gifts like a box of truffles)
• Success and Eloquence Powder - when trying to win or succeed at something (especially potential new employers)
• Hot Foot Powder - to drive someone away, get rid of them
• Goofer Dust - to make someone sick and curse them - only when justified in the eyes of God (like a murderer, child molester or rapist)

Holiday Ornaments to Protect and Bless Your Home

Well I can't have a holiday posting be so harsh and heavy-handed, so here are some "nicer" applications for magical products during the holidays.

A wreath was originally a protective emblem that was placed on the door to keep death away from the house. You can still use a wreath in the same way, with a few hoodoo twists. You can make an all-pine wreath our of trimmings that you can get for free from the local Christmas tree lot to keep ghosts and unwanted entities away. Or, try hanging spices like bundles of cinnamon, whole nutmegs and oranges on the wreath to attract wealth into the home. Another idea is to weave in some Devil's Shoestrings and branches of bay leaves into the wreath to make it a powerful protective amulet. Finish it by dressing the back of the wreath with some Fiery Wall of Protection Oil and there you have it - a powerful protective amulet for the home that can also double as a prosperity-drawing spell.

Ornaments that you hang on the tree can be dabbed with a little Blessing Oil to bring blessings in the year to come. You could do this with any of the many condition oils that are available. Some good options would be Money Draw Oil, Attraction Oil, Holy Oil, Blessing Oil, Fast Luck Oil, True Love Oil, etc. Use your imagination - you can even use color symbolism in your selection of ornaments to amplify your spell working.

Reconciliation Spell + Cut out a Meddling Person

Often, a meddling party is interjecting themselves into a relationship that has fallen apart, or is starting to suffer. This "meddling party" syndrome can pose a real problem for people trying to work reconciliation spells to bring their partners back to them. Here's a great little spell I've done in the past to not only cut out that third interfering person, but also to reconcile the two lovers who have grown apart.

Reconciliation Spell + Cutting Out a Third Person

This is primarily an elaborate candle spell with a few extra props added in for good measure. Here are the supplies you'll need:

• Scissors
• Hot Foot Powder
• Reconciliation Oil
• GTFO! Oil
• Fiery Wall of Protection Oil
• Van Van Oil
• Two pink figural candles of the appropriate genders for the two lovers
• One black figural candle (or a regular candle will work) for the third meddling person
• Two 4" square pieces of paper
• a pen
• a sharp pointed tool to carve the candles

Step 1 - Prepare the Name Papers

Take one of the pieces of paper and write one lover's name across it 7 times in a row. Turn the paper clockwise 1/4 turn and then cross that person's name with the second lover's name 7 times. Now draw a shield with two inter-locked hearts on it at each of the four corners of the paper (to protect their love). Dab the paper on all four corners and in the middle with Reconciliation Oil. Fold the paper toward you in half. Turn 1/4 turn clockwise and repeat. Do that one last time for a total of three folds. Set it aside.

Take the second piece of paper and write the interfering person's name on the paper 9 times. Turn the paper 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and write GO AWAY NOW! on it 9 times crossing their name. Next draw arrows point outward from the name matrix on all four corners of that paper. Dab the paper with GTFO! Oil on all four corners and in the center. Fold the paper in half away from you. Turn the paper 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and fold again. Repeat one more time for a total of three folds. Place this paper aside.

Step 2 - Carve and Dress the Candles

Carve one lover's name on the candle of the appropriate gender. On the back of the candle carve "Reconciled love, protected love". Do the same with the other candle, carving the second lover's name in it along with "Reconciled love, protected love". Dress the candles by putting a few drops of Reconciliation Oil on your fingers and stroking the oil onto the candle toward yourself (to draw your lover to you). Place both figural candles on top of the name paper, side by side (so the wax from the two candles will melt together) facing in the same direction.

Now take the black figural candle and carve the interfering person's name on it. On the back of the candle carve "GO AWAY NOW!" Dress this candle with GTFO! Oil by stroking the oil away from you (to drive the person out of their lives). Place this candle about a foot away back-to-back from the couple candles (they should be facing away from the black candle) on top of its appropriate name paper. Sprinkle Hot Foot Powder on the feet of the black figural candle saying "Just as this burns your feet so shall it light a fire under your ass to drive you out of their lives forever! AMEN!"

Protecting The Couple

To protect the reconciling love of the couple, put some Fiery Wall of Protection Oil on your hands and draw a circle of oil around the paired couple of candles. As you do this state "Surrounded in the fierce protection of God, and protected from all evil and interference, walk on to your new lives together, protected in love and protected in life! AMEN!"

Cutting the Person Out!

Take the pair of scissors and dress the cutting edges of the blade with Van Van Oil. Hold the scissors up to heaven and say "By the mighty blade of God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit I CUT YOU OUT OF THEIR LIVES FOREVER! AMEN!" Set the scissors in an open position with the cutting blades facing the black candle.

Light the couple candles, then the black candles and allow them to burn. When the black candle is half burned, powerfully exclaim "Walk away from this situation as it involves you NOT! Run away from this couple as you serve them NOT! GET AWAY from this relationship, for it includes you NOT! In the highest power of God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, I banish you from the Eden of their love forever and cast you out into the shadows with your kind, where you shall gnash your teeth and wail in solitude forever! AMEN!" Then sprinkle some Hot Foot Powder into the flame of the black candle. Allow it to burn itself all the way down.

Planting the Various Parts of the Spell

Take the remnants of the black candle (any wax, and the name paper). Wrap it up in tin foil, go to the nearest river that runs out of town and toss it over your left shoulder into the water. As you do so, state "Run out of town, Run out of the state, Run out of their lives forever! AMEN!" The meddler will now go away, moving into another town, or just as simple as getting out of the couple's lives by whatever means.

Take the remains of the couple candles (the wax should have melted together into one puddle) as well as the name paper. Wrap it in pink cloth and bury it under the front doorstep of the person who is trying to draw back their lover. The work is complete.

For an extra good measure, you could take a Spiritual Purification Herb Bath after the working to remove any negativity that might be around from the hot footing part of the spell.

How to Use Magical Powders

Magical Powders For Sneaky Spells

Sachet Powders (Magical Powders) are a powerful and effective way to directly affect an intended target by affecting their physical body. Powders, by their nature spread easily, fly on the wind and get all over the place - allowing you to get the magical ingredients within all over the person you intend to affect.

I make my sachet powders using a cornstarch base for a finer powdery consistency, and also in light of recent health concerns around the traditional use of talcum powder as a base. I prefer to use natural substances whenever possible.

Dressing Letters with Magical Sachet Powders

One of the best ways to hit a person with a magical spell, without them knowing it, is to lace a letter or card with magical powders then mail it to them. Once the intended person touches the letter or card, they are directly affected by the magical powder on their hands.

To dress a letter with magical powders: Write out your letter or card, then place it face down on a table. Sprinkle a bit of your selected magical powder on the letter while praying in your own words for the desired effect. You could use Love me NOW! Powder on a love poem you wrote to the object of your affections to make them fall in love with you. You could lace the back of an invoice sent to a customer with Money Draw Powder to make sure they pay their bills quickly. The possibilities are endless.

With the powder in place, run your four fingers across the surface of the letter from top to bottom in wavy lines like serpent trails, biting your intended target and affecting them with your magical power. Then shake the rest of the powder off of the letter and give it a flick with your fingers to snap the excess off. Place the letter in an envelope, seal it and send it off to your intended target. Little to they know what will hit them when they open it up, but you can be assured your magical trick will hit them the moment they touch the paper.

Sprinkling Powders in a Person's Tracks

One of the oldest and most reliable ways to hit someone - especially with enemy work - is by sprinkling powders in their tracks to afflict them through the feet. In order to do this without detection, mix the powder with equal parts of local dirt to hide its color. When they aren't looking, sprinkle your powder in a line somewhere where they'll walk through it: across the threshold to their house, around the passenger-side door of their car, under their desk at work, etc. Some folks even throw powders onto the tires of a person's car.

There is a proper way to sprinkle powders. Bend at the waist and sprinkle with one hand while taking an odd number of steps backward. Do this while calling out the intended target by name and pray for the intended effect to hit them. Then walk away, don't look back and wait for the spell to hit them.

For example, you could take the granddaddy of all magical powders - Hot Foot Powder - and mix it with equal parts of your local dirt to hide it. Then when your annoying neighbor isn't home, you can head over to his place and sprinkle a line of the Hot Foot Powder across the steps leading up to his front door. As you sprinkle you can say something like, "Ernest Jones (or whatever his name is), just as this Hot Foot Powderburns your feet, so shall it light a fire under you to make you move out of this house, out of this neighborhood, and out of my life forever! You can be happy anywhere, but you can't be happy here any longer. Get out, I command you, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. AMEN!" Then walk home, clean yourself off, and watch the magic happen.

Magical Powders in Candles and Other Spells

Magical powders have many uses. You can use them to dress candles by dusting a little on your hand and then running your hand over the candle. This works especially well if you oil the candle first with an appropriate condition oil.

For example, you could dress a pink candle with Attraction Oil, then dust it with Attraction Powder and burn it over a photo of the man you fancy to draw his attention.

You can also use Magical Powders to dress name papers, amulets, or anything else that needs to be imbued with powerful magical effects. The possibilities are limitless! Evil BEGONE! Powder is even formulated to directly combat powders you might find sprinkled in your track - to undo their magic before it affects you and before you track through it.

Let your creativity in spell work soar with Magical Powders. They are the most misunderstood and yet one of the most powerful and effective ways to hit unsuspecting targets with your spells.

A Stop Gossip + Hot Foot Spell: a client's experience

I recently prepared a custom spell kit for a client that involved a candle working that was part "stop gossip" and part "hot foot". The intention was to drive an meddling family member out of my client's life and to get them to stop their hateful lies that they were spreading to other family members.

The spell involves taking a black figural candle, carving the mouth out, packing it with STFU! Powder, and wrapping a black string gag around it. Then, the candle is stood on a mini-crossroads of Hot Foot Powder compelling her to get out of the person's life. This is all burned over a prepared name paper for the target. Here are some photos from the spell's progress.


According to my client, the flame split into three separate flames one of which burned at the candle's head, the second somewhere in the middle of the body and the final one at its feet. These are perfect signs for the spell doing exactly what it is supposed to; make the person taste the bitterness of their hateful words and stop gossiping, and then lighting a fire under their feet to get them to go away. The candle popped, crackled and made a lot of noise as it burned, indicating that spirits of the dead were assisting the work. The remains of the candle spell were bundled up in the foil and then thrown into a river that runs out of town over her left shoulder, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The finished wax drippings look like an ear and an eye, which I interpreted to warn the client to keep an eye and an ear out for any more of her vitriol, and if necessary, follow up with more drastic measures. The client was very pleased with the process and is following up by planting Hot Foot Powder directly in the target's home, as well as lacing gifts with Hot Foot Powder and STFU! Powder and sending them to the family member to directly get these substances on them.

Hot Foot Spells with a KICK!

Hot footing is one of the more benign ways of getting rid of someone. It's basically a "get away from here" spell - no ill wishes intended. The classic method of getting rid of someone is just to sprinkle some Hot Foot Powder where they'll walk over it, thus affecting them "through the feet" - causing them to hot foot it out of town.

I've come up with some new, inventive and different approaches to hot foot someone out of your life, and decided to share some of them here.

Fire Under Your Feet, Haunt in your Home
This is a spell performed when you have a noisy neighbor or someone living in close proximity to you that you really need to get rid of. It effectively burns a fire under their feet, and at the same time haunts their home so that they NEED to get out of where they are.

Take a red glass-encased candle, dress it with GTFO! Oil and a generous pinch of Hot Foot Powder, as well as a pinch of Graveyard Dirt. As you add in the Graveyard Dirt, pray to the spirit that it belongs to and instruct then to haunt that person's mind, their dreams and their home. Instruct them to make it miserable to live there, to open and close doors and cabinets, make scary noises, the whole deal.

Next lay out a "crossroads" of Graveyard Dirt on your surface. Add arrow heads to the four ends of the crossroads and instruct that same spirit to drive those individuals (calling them by name) far away from here. I like to say "they can be happy anywhere, but they can't be happy here!" Instruct the spirit to continue to haunt them and that house UNTIL THEY LEAVE, at which point he is to stop harassing them and leave them in peace.

Tap the candle three times on your counter to seal in the energy, set it in the center of the crossroads and burn it all the way down. Interpret the results of the candle's burn as a sign to the success of the spell.

Hot Foot + Shut Up Spell
This little spell not only gets the person out of your life but compels them to stop their gossiping hateful ways. I affectionately call it the STFU/GTFO spell since it uses both products.

Get a black figural candle of the appropriate gender to correspond with the intended target. Carve their name into the back of the candle with a coffin nail. Using the same nail, carve out the mouth of the candle so that you can put things in it. Now, dress the candle with STFU! Oil and GTFO! Oil, rubbing the oil onto the candle by stroking away from you.

Next, stuff the mouth of the candle with STFU! Powder. As you do this, call the target by name and command them to shut the hell up, stop their gossip, and that the bitter taste of their evil words will fill their mouth. Now wind black thread around the candle's mouth like a gag, and as you do so state "(Target's Name) I gag you and shut you the hell up! Never again will you utter a single word about me or against me. Taste the bitterness of your hateful words and learn from your mistakes!"

Now, lay out a crossroads of Hot Foot Powder on your surface with arrow points at the ends of the croassroad lines. Stand the candle up in the center of the crossroads and add a bit more powder on top of the candle's feet. Burn the candle all the way down. Interpret the behavior of the candle's burning pattern and any wax drippings.

Finally gather together all of the remnants from the spell and go to the nearest river that runs out of town. Toss that mess into the river over your left shoulder saying "Just as this river runs out of town, so shall you run run run out of my life forever, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, AMEN!" Walk away and don't look back.

These spells work effectively to get rid of troublesome people without directly hurting them. At most they will feel the effects of their own actions and learn from their mistakes. At worst, they will just move away and keep up their obnoxious behaviors, but far away from you.

Keep the Law Away Spells

Let's be honest, not everyone is a law-abiding citizen. In fact, there are many people out there who scrape by in tough times by having to "bend" the law a little bit. Be it a few potted plants that the government doesn't look kindly upon, or a few under-the-table deals to save you taxes in the end - we all skirt the law somehow. Even speeding in your car is illegal, so don't act like you're innocent!

For all those times where you need to keep the police out of your business, there are Keep the Law Away spells. Below are a few that many of you will find incredibly useful.

Indian Head Cent to Protect the Home
The Indian Head penny has always been a protective amulet. It is said that the Indian Spirit Guide will keep watch and warn you if any danger approaches. You can plant one at each corner of your property with the faces looking out. Additionally, you can nail a row of them across the top of your front door. Typically 9 are used in this fashion. In either case, dress the coins with Police Stay Away! oil (or some other Law Stay Away oil).

Foot Track Magic - To Keep the Police Away
If you can get your hands on a fresh footprint from a police officer in dirt, you are golden! Take a spade and very carefully lift the footprint up out of the dirt. Mix it with Hot Foot Powder or just salt and pepper in a pinch, and then turn the foot around so it is now "walking away" from your home and plant it back down on the earth.

Police Stay Away! Mojo for Your Car or Home
I live in Southern California - the home of speeding! One of the best mojos you can keep in your car is one made of "Keep the Law Away" type herbs. These include fennel seed, oregano and others. I'd also include an Indian Head cent for good measure and cascara sagrada (for help with the law). Dress this mojo bag with Police Stay Away! Oil and keep it either under the driver's seat or in the glove box. Make sure to feed it weekly to keep it strong. You can also blend in some Police Stay Away! Oil into your tire dressing and give your car's tires a good rub down with that oil so that the police never follow you or even perceive your activities. Similarly, you could prepare a mojo with the same ingredients and plant it in your backyard to secure your home from the police if you're doing anything a bit questionable there.

Powders for Sneaky Spells and More

Magical powders consist of various herbs ground up VERY fine, and blended with either cornstarch or talcum powder. (Dr. E. Products uses cornstarch for their powder base because of the recently revealed carcinogenic qualities of talcum.) They are a great way to deploy magical tricks on people without them knowing, and are one of the most powerful but under-utilized methods in the hoodoo toolbox.

The Infamous "Hot Foot Powder"
One of the most infamous powder recipes in hoodoo is Hot Foot Powder. This blend of hot spices and sulfur is used to make someone get away from you. It's not a curse, per se, but it effectively gets someone to leave - no harm intended or manifested - by lighting a fire of motivation under their feet to move on.

Hot Foot Powder is typically laid in a person's tracks where they'll walk over it and be "poisoned through the feet" (afflicted with magic through the soles of the feet). The trick with having it undetected is to mix it with local dirt to mask its color. Hot Foot Powder (or any powder, really) can be sprinkled in a line across someone's doorstep, at the foot of their driver's-side door to their car, across a walkway leading up to their home, or even a pinch in the footwell of their car or under their desk at work. You can also put a pinch in their shoes if they are the type that leaves their shoes laying around or outside their home, or you can even dust their door knobs to their homes so that they get the powder physically on them for maximum effect.

Love Me NOW! Spell Using Powders
This spell works best if you have regular communication with someone and already have a friendship in place. Write a letter by hand to your intended target. Turn the letter over and sprinkle some Love Me NOW! Powder on the back of it. Run your four fingers over the powder in a wavy pattern to dress the back of the letter. Shake off the excess then flick the paper with your index finger to get the remaining powder to fly off. Fold up the letter with the dressed side on the outside so your target will touch the dressed paper when he opens the letter. Seal the envelope with a dab of your own urine or sexual fluids. Mail the letter to your target and when he opens it, he will be affected by the powder and your personal concerns and start looking at you with loving eyes.

Neutralizing Evil With Powders

If you find some kind of evil spell left on your doorstep, or you see that someone has tried to lay a line of powder for you to cross over, do not step on it. Instead, sprinkle some Evil BEGONE! Powder or Fear Not to Walk Over Evil Powder over that line while praying for the trick to be unraveled by the just and watchful eye of God. Sweep the mess away and follow it up with a Chinese Floor Wash to cleanse away the remaining mess.

How to Sprinkle Powders
Powders are typically sprinkled from your own hand while calling out the intended target by name. It is important to call them by name, for it is the only person that the trick will affect. Anyone else who walks over the powder or touches it will not be affected. Also remember to blend the powder with local dirt to mask its color. Powders are typically sprinkled while walking backward in an odd number of steps while praying for the intended magical effect.
