Which Hoodoo Love Product is Right for Me?

Love love love... no matter what the season, love is at the forefront of every rootworker's client work. I often receive questions about which love product is right for a given situation, so I thought I'd go through each of the ones I offer and explain how they are a bit different, and give a recommended use for each.

True Love Hoodoo Oil, Herb Bath and Mojo Bag
True love is what everyone desires, and this line of products is my most "general application" for love. If you want to find your perfect mate, get a husband or wife, or meet a fantastic new partner, this is the stuff to go for.

A Hoodoo Love Spell to Draw a Perfect Mate
This spell is best performed on a Friday during the waxing moon.

You will need the following items:

• A figural candle of the appropriate gender for what you seek to attract
• A bottle of True Love Oil
• A package of True Love Herb Bath
• A list of all the qualities you seek in a perfect mate (keep it positive!)
• A plate
• A piece of red cloth

Take your figural candle and carve "my perfect mate" into the stomach of the candle. Dress it with True Love Oil stroking the oil toward you. As you go over each part of the candle, describe the qualities of your perfect mate. For example, "Your hands are soft and lovingly care for me when I need it. Your mind is keen and brilliant. Your lips whisper soft loving words to me. Your legs are strong and walk by my side through life's joys and sorrowes." etc.

Take your list of all the qualities you seek in a perfect mate and "5-spot" it with True Love Oil, by dabbing a bit on each corner and in the center of the page. Fold the list in half toward you. Rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise and fold it in half toward you again. Rotate it one more time clockwise and fold it in half toward you for the last time. Place this under a plate and place the dressed figural candle on top of the plate.

Now ring the candle with the herbs from the package of True Love Herb Bath, by sprinkling them clockwise around the candle. Burn the candle until it has finished, then gather up the remaining wax and your list of qualities and wrap them up in a piece of red cloth. Place this bundle near your front door (or bury it near your front doorstep if you can). You can hide it in a vase or some other container too. The idea is to place it near your front door to draw your True Love to your doorstep and into your life.

Attraction Oil, Herb Bath and Powder

Attraction products were made to increase a person's attractiveness. It magnetically draws people to you. This is a good line of products to use in order to meet new people and draw new potential dates to you, or to get a person's attention.

Attraction Herb Baths to Draw a Date

This is a great spell when you're heading to a social event and want to meet new potential mates.

You'll need:

• 1 bottle of Attraction Oil
• 1 packet of Attraction Herb Bath
• Honey
• Two white candles (tea lights are fine)

Start by dumping the packet of Attraction Herb Bath into a coffee cup. Pour boiling water over it and allow it to stand for about 5 minutes to let all the herbs release their essences into the water. After five minutes strain out the herbs and pour the cup of water into a larger bowl or basin of bath-temperature water. Add in a little dab of honey to the water. Pray over this prepared bath for God to magnetically attract a beautiful new mate into your life, for him or her to find you sweet and attractive and for you to meet quality people that you, too, find attractive.

Take the bowl into the bathtub or shower. Light two white candles and place them on either side of the tub so you will cross between them as you enter and exit the tub. Either plug the tub or stand over another bowl to capture some of your used bath water.

Now pour the herb bath over you from feet upward toward your head, to draw in the new potential mate and attract others. As you do so, pray in your own words, stating how attractive and magnetic you are, how you are beautiful in everyone's eyes, etc. You might even describe the kind of person you'd like to meet and the qualities they have. When you are done using all of the bath, begin to wipe the excess liquid off of your body using your hands. ALWAYS stroke in an upward motion from your feet toward your head to draw in the positive attractive forces.

Now step out of the bath between the white candles and air dry. If you are cold stand in front of a heater. Don't engage in any mundane activities, just focus on your goal of being attractive to others. You can continue the wiping action with your hands - it speeds the drying process.

Once you are dry, you can dress your body with some of the Attraction Oil by dabbing a bit on your wrists, over your heart, behind each ear and on the bottoms of your feet. Dress in clean clothes.

Take a bit of the captured bath water outside and toss it over your left shoulder so the water flings toward the east, saying "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, AMEN!" Now return inside, snuff out the candles, let the rest of the bath water drain away, and go to your social event to meet great new people.

Love Me NOW! Oil, and Powder

Love Me NOW! products were formulated as coercive love products. Use these when you are targeting a specific person to make them fall in love with you. The trick to coercive love magic is repeated application and the more physical you can get in applying these on the targeted person, the more effective your magic will be.

A Sneaky Love Spell to Make Someone Fall in Love With You

This spell is best performed during the waxing moon on a Friday.

You'll need:

• A packet of Love Me NOW! Powder
• Hair from the head of the person you seek to target
• A small glass jar or bottle with lid
• A lodestone and some magnetic sand
• 1 bottle of Love me NOW! Oil
• A red candle big enough to fit in the mouth of the jar or bottle, or on top of it when the jar is capped

Take the red candle and care "LOVE ME NOW!" on one side, and the target's name on the other side. Dress the candle with Love Me NOW! Oil by stroking the oil toward you while you call your lover's name, commanding him to love you and come to you. Set this aside.

Take the bottle or jar and rub a little Love Me NOW! Oil on the inside of the jar and lid. Then place your lover's hair inside the bottle. Next dress the lodestone with some Love Me NOW! Oil and instruct it to draw your lover to you, making him think constantly of you and crave for your company and physical touch. Place the lodestone in the bottle and give it a healthy pinch of magnetic sand to feed it and help it keep working strong.

Now dump the majority of the packet of Love Me NOW! Powder into the bottle. As you do so, call your lover's name out loud, commanding him to come to you, love you with his/her heart, soul and mind. Command all five of his or her senses to be intoxicated with you and for them to come running to you and love you with all they have.

Take the remainder of the Love Me NOW! Powder and dust the candle with it. Place the candle in the mouth of the jar. If it is too small or too big, you can cap the jar and stick the candle to the top (if you have a cork for a lid, place the candle in a candle holder next to the bottle so it doesn't catch fire). Light the candle and let it burn all the way down, calling your lover to you with the light of your magic and the power of your intent.

When the candle is done burning, cap the jar (putting the wax drippings inside if there are any). Place the jar under your bed to draw your lover to your bed where you can seal the deal in an erotic encounter.

Love's Fire Oil

Love's Fire Oil was formulated to help fire up existing relationships that might have gone a bit cold in the intimacy department. Use it to rekindle the romance in a marriage, or to make the most of a romantic getaway.

Fire of Love Hoodoo Spell

This spell will get your partner fired up for a night of serious romance. It uses a one-two punch of Love's Fire Oil and Hot Fucker Oil for maximum impact.

You'll need:

• A red penis candle (if your partner is male) - OR - a red vagina candle (if your partner is female)
• A bottle of Love's Fire Oil
• A bottle of Hot Fucker Oil
• A Southern John Root
• A muslin bag
• Some of your partner's pubic hair
• A plate

Take the genital candle and carve your partner's name from the bottom toward the top of the candle (to make their sexual fluids RISE). Lovingly stroke Love's Fire Oil on the genital candle as if you were making love to it, speaking your partner's name aloud, making sexy statements about all of the intense sex you'll have together.

Place your partner's pubic hair on the center of the plate and place the genital candle on top of it. Now rub some Hot Fucker Oil on the Southern John Root and place that on the plate at the foot of the candle (but not too close so it won't get captured in dripping wax).

GO WASH YOUR HANDS CAREFULLY to remove any lingering oil.

Return to the candle and light it. While you gaze into the light of the candle, begin to pleasure yourself sexually. The objective here is to gather some sexual fluids, but NOT CLIMAX. When you have collected some vaginal fluids (for the ladies) or a bit of precum (for the men) rub that onto the candle and state "My sexual fire draws your sexual fire and together we will ignite the fire of love that is within us! AMEN!"

Allow the candle to burn all the way down. When it is done burning, get the Southern John Root, place it in a muslin bag and gather up your bed linens. Wash the linens and toss in the muslin bag containing the Southern John root. When you dry the sheets, remove the Southern John Root.

The candle remnants can be lovingly gathered up in a little bag and placed under the bed. Put the newly dressed sheets on the bed and get ready for a night of some HOT sex!

Hot Fucker Oil

This controversially named product is strictly to have hot sex - no attachments required. It is a seduction oil plain and simple. Sure you could use it in a loving context with great results, but you can also use it just to get some action for a night on the town.

Seduction Hoodoo Spell

All you need for this is a bottle of Hot Fucker Oil. Plain and simple, dress your own body with the oil (do a patch test first to make sure you don't have any skin sensitivity!) by dabbing a bit on each wrist, inside the crooks of your elbows, behind each ear, behind each knee, and a dab on the bottom of each foot. As you do so, read the Song of Solomon - Chapter 5 aloud.

Now head out for your night on the town and make a point to go after the guys or gals you find interesting. You'll see them respond in a much more physical way than they usually do!

A "Testimonial" of Accidental Dr. E. Products Use

One of my friends and customers had an accidental use of Dr. E. Product's True Love Oil in a rather embarrassing situation. Read all about the amusing testimonial of the power of Dr. E. Products in his comical account of the story.

Please note: Dr. E. Products Condition Oils are NOT INTENDED for use on the skin - least of all your "delicate" parts.

A Ritual to Stop Gay Teen Suicide

There has been a rash of teenage suicides in the last few weeks that should be brought to the public's attention. Each of these kids was a gay teenager that chose to end his life because of the bullying and tormenting he was receiving from his peers. Asher Brown and Seth Walsh were 13 years old. Billy Lucas was 15, Tyler Clementi, 18 and Raymond Chase, 19.

To honor the memory of these brothers, many of us have opted to wear purple in an act of solidarity for today (Wednesday Oct. 20th). A public action is good for raising awareness, but as a conjurer I feel motivated to do more. I've written up a ritual here that you are welcome to do as well, to help end the hate, end the violence and torment, and mend the social division around what seems to be the last remaining prejudice that people are unashamed to declare publicly : homophobia.

A Ritual To Stop Hate and End Gay Teen Suicides

I'll be performing this ritual tonight, but you can certainly perform it at any time. Your support and energy are always good toward this social cause.

You'll need:

• A white glass-encased vigil candle
• Blessing Oil or Holy Oil
• Five purple offertory candles
• Printed photos of the kids above
• Lavender flowers

Carve each boy's name into one of the purple offertory candles. Dress each candle with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil. Using a pointed tool, poke three holes down into the wax of the white vigil candle and drip a bit of Blessing Oil or Holy Oil into them.

Pray over each of the purple offertory candles in the honor of that person, that the light of the candle cleanse away their pain and torment and that they find their way quickly to heaven. Place the 5 candles in a circular arrangement and place that boy's photo at the foot of the candle in his honor. Then pray over the white vigil candle for love to conquer hate, for the violence to stop, for the community to be united against bullying and for the Ancestors to help any LGBT youth out there that's suffering, to let them know that it does get better and to have strength. Tap the white vigil candle three times on your table, then place it in the center of the circle of purple candles. Place a pinch of lavender on top of each photo and a pinch in the white candle, then light the white candle followed by all of the purple candles.

As the candles burn, open your heart and radiate love out into the community. Pray for the souls of these boys that they will be healed, find peace and comfort and that the violence, bullying and hatred will stop. Sit quietly in contemplation while you reflect on the burning candles before you.

Allow them to burn all the way down. Then collect all of the photos of the boys along with the pinches of lavender and dispose of them in a beautiful peaceful park at the foot of a large tree.

Reconciliation Spells - What Every Client Should Consider

I just wrote an article over at the Hoodoo Crossroads Blog on Reconciliation Spells and things that every client should consider. Go check it out!

Okra Baths to Break Evil Magic

In past postings I discussed the magical power of okra and how it can be used in protective work. Okra is also useful in breaking evil, curses and any kind of negativity. One of the best ways to do this is to make a magical bath with okra.

Okra baths are effective in a single application or you can do them regularly as part of a spiritual hygiene routine. Whenever I feel that someone has thrown some serious curses at me, or even reversed work back at me, I use an okra bath to shatter the curse or evil, and allow me to smoothly move through life slipping out of its grasp. It's important to note that if you are allergic to okra you should not be doing this bath.

How to Prepare a Magical Bath with Okra

Okra baths need to be made a bit in advance in order to get the most out of the herb. Okra emits a slimy juice, it's characteristic herbal property, that reacts with water to create a mucilage. This slippery, slimy juice is what breaks the evil magic and also allows you to slide under the radar and escape enemy attack.

You'll need:

• About 20 fresh okra pods
• A large basin
• Fresh water
• A sieve or strainer

Start by pouring about 2 cups of fresh water into the basin. Now begin manually breaking up the okra pods with your hands in the water. Try to rip them up into the smallest pieces you can. Use your hands and pray over the okra, asking that God shatter any evil that has been sent at you. Once you have broken up all of the pods with your hands, begin scooping them up in your hands and squeezing as much juice as you can out of them. Keep adding water, cup by cup taking time to squeeze the pods and extract their juice into the water between additions. Once you've filled the basin up with enough water for a magical bath set the basin aside to sit for about half an hour. (Use reason to figure this out - quantities are NOT specific here. All you need is enough to dump over your head and cover your body.)

After the bath has sit for about half an hour, being to scoop the bits of okra out of the fluid. Give them a good squeeze and place them into the strainer (holding the strainer over the basin - the mucilage will continue to drain out into the basin). Once you've gotten all of the okra bits out of the bath and you have a strainer full of the stuff, use your hand to press the last bits of juice out of the herbs, allowing it to fall into the bath. Then take the okra chunks and toss them in the garbage. All we need is the juice.

Stir the bath up well with your hands. As you do so, you'll note it's VERY slimy. This is precisely what we want.

Take your basin into the bathroom. Light two white candles and place them on either side of the tub or shower to that you will cross between them as you exit the tub (like a gateway of light). Disrobe and take the basin with you into the tub. Now begin by praying Psalm 37 "Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and whither as the green herb!" (or you can read the psalm in its entirety) If you don't like reading the psalms you can also just pray in your own words to your higher power for it to shatter the curses laid against you, wipe you clean of any evil and restore you to peace and grace.

Now, pour the bath over you from your head down to your feet. Yes it is slimy. Yes it feels weird. Yes it really works!

Make sure to cover EVERY part of your body with the bath. Then set the basin outside of the tub. You can then shower off the slime, making sure to get it all off. Once you are fully clean you can exit the shower passing between the two lit candles and towel dry. You can also pinch out the candles and reuse them for another bath, or if this is a one-off bath, just set them on a counter or your altar and let them burn down completely.

You should notice how good you feel IMMEDIATELY after the bath. Dress in clean light colored clothes and avoid getting agitated or angry for that day. Do something relaxing and keep your calm. If you have a protective oil or mojo bag you can wear, it's a good idea to use it after you've dried off from the bath.

**NOTE**

This is one example of a magical bath that is NOT left on the body to dry. While the slime has healing properties and IS very good for the skin, you don't want to keep it on your body. Additionally, this is a magical bath where you DO NOT capture your used bath water. Just let it run down the drain and rinse out the shower or tub after you are done.

A Powerful Uncrossing Spell to Remove Spirits

The term "uncrossing" comes from the magical concept of cursing called "crossing." To cross someone up means to obstruct their life with misfortune. The name comes from the idea of laying down equal-armed crosses of powders or other objects where the target will walk through them. Uncrossing, therefore, is the process of breaking through a curse, cleaning it off of a person and restoring them to balance and spiritual health.

Typically, uncrossing spells center around the use of Uncrossing Baths usually prescribed to someone in 3, 7, 9 or 13 baths depending on how severe the curse is. This is a standard and effective way to cleanse the physical body if powdered were used against someone or if the curse is afflicting the person's health with symptoms like itching, welts, lack of energy, sickness, etc. In addition to Uncrossing Baths, it's usually a good idea to do an Uncrossing Candle Spell to deal with recurring curses timed to hit the target over and over, month after month. After any uncrossing spell it's also a good idea to immediately apply some kind of protection to keep yourself clean. Something as simple as a Protection Mojo Bag or dressing your body with Fiery Protection Oil are effective ways to keep the jinxes at bay. This standard course of magical treatment is so common that I've made up an Uncrossing Spell Kit for people who need to uncross themselves and keep themselves protected afterward.

On rare occasion, you need something a bit unexpected as a way of Uncrossing yourself. The Uncrossing Spells I present below are my own unique spells, work powerfully and are good spells to do if something like an Uncrossing Spell Kit isn't enough to break through the curse.

A Powerful Uncrossing Spell to Remove Spirits

Some craftier conjurers will use spirits of the dead to haunt their targets. The afflicted target is haunted day and night with tortured nightmares, spiritual phenomena happening around them with no logical explanation, and a perpetual feeling of being followed. The spirit is paid for the work they do on behalf of the conjurer, so part of the uncrossing has to be either a higher payment, or a complete eradication of the spirit tying it down into the bowels of hell so that it will not continue to torture the person any longer.

You'll need:

• Graveyard Dirt of a Soldier (purchased in the proper manner)
• A jumbo double-action candle
• A pointy tool to carve the candle
• 1 bottle of Uncrossing Oil
• Seven 13-Herb baths
• Seven Protection Herb Baths
• 1 glass bottle with a twist top
• black cloth (sufficient to cover the glass bottle)
• Blackberry leaves and branches
• Whiskey
• 9 pins
• 9 needles
• 9 coffin nails
• Frankincense and Myrrh incense
• a cigar
• gunpowder
• A prepared Protection Mojo Bag with its bottle of Fiery Protection Oil
• A bundle of fresh herbs including pine, fern, sage, lemon verbena and mint tied together

Preparation

First, prepare the bottle by putting the blackberry leaves and branches inside of it in a tangled mess. These will trap the evil spirit when it enters the bottle. Add the pins, needles and coffin nails to the bottle. Finally add some whiskey to the bottle to fill it 1/3 full. These "spirits" will draw the ghost into the bottle as alcohol feeds the spirit.

Next prepare the candle. Cut the tip off of the candle and carve a new one out of the foot of the candle (dig out the wick). You'll essentially be burning it upside-down. On the black part of the candle carve "wicked spirit be gone!" in mirrored writing. On the white side of the candle carve "Blessed and protected by God". Rub Uncrossing Oil on the candle stroking away from you on the black part, and toward you on the white part. Set this in a candle holder and set it aside.

The next part should be done outside. Set the bottle on the ground (preferably a paved surface) and stand the client facing away from the bottle about 5 feet away. Lay down a spiral of the purchased graveyard dirt around the client and extend the end of the spiral so it heads toward the bottle and encircles it. On top of this line of graveyard dirt, lay down a line of gunpowder. Once you have dislodged the spirit from the client the gunpowder acts to fire up the spirit of the soldier to grab that negative spirit and take him away from the client and into the bottle where it will be trapped.

Dislodging the Spirit from the Client

Before you begin to mess with the client, start by protecting yourself. You should have both feet, both hands, your forehead, heart, navel, and the back of your neck anointed with Fiery Protection Oil. Additionally, I recommend you summon all of your own protective entities and spirits to help you out. Finally, make sure you are wearing white or similarly light colored clothes to make sure you are well protected. If you have a Protection Mojo Bag, carry it.

Now that everything is set up, you're ready to start. Begin by lighting the cigar and making sure you have a nice burning ember at the end. Flip the cigar around and put the lit end into your mouth and blow out through the cigar to propel smoke out of it toward your client. Use the smoke to coax the spirit that is attacking them to come forward. Then, grab the bundle of herbs blow some cigar smoke onto it and pray either Psalm 51 (below) or The Lord's Prayer:

Psalm 51

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Now, slowly turn the client and lightly whack their body with the bundle of herbs. As you do so, command the spirit to leave that person's body and to leave them alone in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Start at their head, and work your way down toward the feet. (Make sure you do not disrupt the spiral of graveyard dirt and gunpowder.) Once you have reached the feet, move over to the bottle and blow some cigar smoke into the bottle and around it to coax the spirit to move toward the bottle. Now addressing the spirit directly, state that you have created a new home for it, one where it can enjoy good drink and a good smoke - over in yonder bottle.

Capturing the Spirit

Now, praying the Lord's Prayer over and over again, take the cigar and light the gunpowder closest to the client so that the burn will spiral out and away from him toward the bottle, propelling the spirit to leave the body and enter into the bottle. Shoo it along with the bundle of herbs as the sparking flame moves along. When the gunpowder finishes burning around the bottle quickly cap the bottle and state aloud "Spirit I have trapped you in the tangled mess in this bottle. Never more will you be able to escape this bottle and never again will you trouble another soul! In Jesus' name AMEN!" Wrap the bottle in black cloth and tie the opposite corners tightly over the top of the bottle so that it will never see the light of day again.

Protecting the Client

Now, smoke the client with Frankincense and Myrrh, to lighten their energetic field and build up their natural defenses against any other spirits. Hand them a Protection Mojo Bag to carry. Dab a bit of Fiery Protection Oil on their wrists, forehead, heart, bottom of the feet and back of the neck. Hand the client the candle and tell them to go home and light it and let it burn all the way down. Also send them home with 7 Protection Herb Baths - for them to use over the course of the next week. Send them home.

Getting Rid of the Spirit

Next, visit either the ocean or a river that flows out of town. Throw the bottle into the ocean off the end of a pier or into the river saying "I banish you to the abyss! Return to the hell from whence you came! In Jesus' name AMEN!" Walk away and don't look back. Return home by a different route than the normal one you take.

Clean Up

Finally, you need to clean yourself up. You can mop down the area where the ritual took place with Chinese Floor Wash or Florida Water to remove the graveyard dirt and gunpowder. You'll then take seven 13-Herb Baths over the course of the next week. Each day you should visit your ancestor altar and pray to your spirits and ancestors for them to be strong and protect you. Keep a candle lit on that altar throughout the week. When you take your baths make sure to toss out the used bathwater toward the east over your left shoulder (preferably into the street) and walk away without looking back. Wear your Protection Mojo Bag the entire week and dress your body with Fiery Protection Oil every day.

Warning: This is NOT to be performed by the casual rootworker. This is serious, intense work and it puts you in great physical and psychic risk to mess with taking spirits off of people. Only an experienced rootworker with solid spiritual relationships with his spirits should engage in such work. I can perform this work as part of a Spiritual Cleansing of your Body but prices vary greatly according to the risk level involved. Contact me for pricing and more information.
