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.)

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!

Making Reconciliation Spells REALLY Work

Hands-down, the most common client request for hoodoo is for a reconciliation spell. This is no real surprise when you think about what a vast and complex landscape human emotions can be, and how challenging it is to make a relationship really work in this modern age. We are taught dysfunctional ways to behave in relationships from television, glamor magazines, movies and even from our friends and family. So when the relationship goes sour, or breaks up all together, it makes sense to turn to a conjure doctor to fix the situation.

This, however, is a misconception. Yes, a conjure doctor can help you mend your relationship. Yes, we can help soften hearts and open minds and get the two of you to reconcile. BUT, contrary to popular opinion, we are NOT miracle workers.

So how, then, should you approach reconciliation spell work in order to get effective results with your hoodoo? Let me share what I've learned over the years from personal and professional experience.

Communication is Number ONE!

My teacher taught me that reconciliation spells are much more likely to success if the people are talking to one another. I'm going to take that one step further and say that reconciliation spells will ONLY succeed if the people involved are talking to one another. Otherwise, there really is little chance for the two of you to come back together and heal the wounds of the past. That means, tuck your tail, apologize for what went wrong and genuinely try to mend things. Let go of resentments, start anew and give the other person the benefit of the doubt. And if it has been longer than two years since you've spoken to the individual your chances for success are pretty much none. But, for those of you who are speaking to your lover, here's a great spell to get the lines of communication going.

Personal Letter Dressed with Powders for Reconciliation

You'll need:

• 1 packet of Success and Eloquence Powder
• 1 packet of Reconciliation Powder
• 1 hand-written letter or card to your lover

Write a letter to your ex sincerely apologizing to them if you've wronged them, or forgiving them if they've wronged you. Be heart-felt and honest and don't blame them for anything. Just focus on the love you have for one another and how much you miss the great times you had together. Sign the letter or card and make sure the ink has dried.

Flip the letter or card over and sprinkle some Success and Eloquence Powder and some Reconciliation Powder on the card. As you do so, call out your ex's name and pray to God in your own words for his heart to be softened, for his mind to be opened and for him to remember the love you have together, and feel desire in his heart to call you and speak with you in return. Now run your four fingers down the card in wavy lines - like snake tracks - and say "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, AMEN!" Shake off the excess powder, then give the letter a flick with your finger to snap off any residue. Fold up the letter, put it in an envelope and seal the envelope with a little dab of your urine. Mail the letter to your lover and when he opens it, he'll be dominated by your urine, affected by the Reconciliation Powder to want to be with you again, and then compelled by the Success and Eloquence Powder to want to talk to you.

Humility and Sincerity Are KEY!

All too often, I have clients come to me and say "I want my boyfriend that broke up with me back, but I want HIM to make the first move and I want HIM to apologize to me!" or some variation of that theme. Let me tell you right now that the reason you two haven't reconciled your love is because OF YOU! Stubbornness and pride serve no role in reconciliation work. Let go of your pride, let go of your stubborn need to be right, and stop this whole cat and mouse game of not talking to him until he talks to you, etc. All it does is feed into the dysfunctional mind games that Hollywood have taught us are a part of any relationship. I'm here to tell you that the sooner you drop that behavior and those requirements the more likely you are going to succeed in getting your partner back.

Forgiveness Goes Two Ways

In order to go from break up to make up, you'll need to master the art of apologies and forgiveness. But remember that forgiveness goes two ways - and by that I mean that you have to forgive the other person AND FORGIVE YOURSELF for what happened. Holding on to guilt or resentment are only ways of closing off your heart and will ultimately fight against any positive spell outcome.

I always recommend to my clients that they should take up some kind of journaling or way of processing their emotions. Shoot, even therapy is something we should all sign up for after a break up - it helps you work through your feelings, learn your lessons, grow and evolve instead of just placing blame, vilifying the other person and walking away from the relationship with nothing to show for it.

Make your journal a magical one. Get yourself a nice spiral bound notebook from the local book store. Into it, place a photo of you and your ex together when you were happy. Then, you can use some Love Uncrossing Products to unravel the emotional knots that you built up in your relationship using the following spell:

Dr. E.'s Love Uncrossing Spell

You'll need:

• 7 or 13 packets of Love Uncrossing Herb Bath (depending on how much you have to work out)
• 1 half red/half black jumbo love uncrossing candle
• 1 bottle of Love Uncrossing Oil

You will perform this spell every afternoon or evening for 7 consecutive days. Make a strong infusion of 1 package of Love Uncrossing Herb Baths by pouring boiling water over the herbs in a coffee cup. Allow the herbs to sit for about 10 minutes. Strain out the herbs. Draw yourself a nice bathtub full of water. Add in the cup of infused liquid to the bath.

Now, carefully using a knife, cut the tip off of the candle, turn it upside down and carve a new tip on the butt of the candle - digging out the wick so you'll be able to light it. On the black half of the candle carve in mirror-writing "Remove my condition". On the red part carve in normal writing "I am worthy of love". Dress the entire candle with Love Uncrossing Oil - stroke away from you on the black part, stroke toward you on the red part. Place this in a candle holder and set it next to the bathtub. Light the candle.

Disrobe and enter the bath. As you soak in the bathtub, state "Wash me with hyssop and I shall be clean in the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!" Now relax in the tub and mentally go through any of the suffering, anger or resentment from the break up. Focus on forgiving yourself and forgiving your ex. See if you discover any emotional behavioral patterns that need to be healed or changed. Write these down in your journal during and after the bath is done. Finally, imagine all of the pain and anger being leeched out of your body by the herbs in the bath, and then imagine glowing pink light entering your body - replacing the resentment with love, the anger with acceptance and the distrust with loving trust.

When you are done, stand up, cross your arms across your chest and then quickly uncross them by wiping diagonally from shoulder to hip across your chest saying aloud "reMOVE this condition from me!" - repeat that three times. Step out of the bath and lightly towel off. Scoop up a cupful of the used bath water and allow the rest to drain away.

Once you are dry, anoint your feet, wrists, neck and heart with Love Uncrossing Oil. Dress in light colored clothes and walk to the crossroads (4-way crossroad). Toss that used bath water over your left shoulder into the intersection toward the east saying "AMEN!" and walk away without looking back. When you get home, pinch or snuff out the candle and use it for the next bath.

Over the course of the week, keep your journal with you and write down any thoughts or realizations that come to you about your relationship, your negative behaviors or patterns or lessons you've learned. The effect of those baths will last up to and beyond a month.

Reconciliation Spells Take Time

Sometimes clients think that a reconciliation spell will be a "one shot, bang, and you're fixed" kind of job. I'm here to tell you that reconciliation spell work in a long haul, and it is a slow and steady progress that you're looking for. Trust takes a long time to grow, and one moment to destroy. You now have to go through the process of rebuilding trust - and that takes time, honesty and communication. Reconciliation spells should aim at softening the hearts and opening the minds of those involved.

Reconciliation Honey Jar Spell

This spell uses sweeteners to soften up their attitude toward you and to remember the sweetness you had together.

You'll need:

• A jar of honey with a metal lid
• A photo of you
• A photo of your ex
• 3 gold-eyed needles
• 2 balm of gilead buds that are stuck together
• orange peel
• 1 package of Reconciliation Powder
• 1 bottle of Reconciliation Oil
• 9 pink candles

Take the photo of your ex and put a dab of Reconciliation oil on each corner and the middle of the photo. Do the same with your photo. Now put a dab of honey on the ex's photo's mouth. Then stick your photo to it so that the mouths are touching. As you do so state aloud your ex's name and say "You remember the sweetness of my kisses and we only speak sweet words to one another from now on!"

Then stick the three needles through the papers (in and out to hold them) so they are stuck together. Make sure the three needles are parallel. As you do so, state "We are joined at the hip, joined at the head and joined at the heart. In Jesus' name I call you back to me for it is our destiny to be together again! AMEN!"

Now push the papers down into the honey and when you pull your finger out it will have honey on it. Lick the honey off and say "As this honey is sweet on my tongue, so too shall I be sweet on your mind, sweet on your tongue and sweet in your heart!" Add in the balm of gilead, the orange peel and three pinches of Reconciliation Powder. Cap off the jar.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you will do the following: Take 1 pink candle and carve "reconcile our love" onto the candle. Dress it with Reconciliation Oil - stroking the oil toward you. Dust it with Reconciliation Powder. Then melt the butt of the candle enough that you can stick it to the lid of the honey jar. Light the candle and let it burn all the way down. As it burns pause for a moment and pray to God to illuminate your ex's mind, to draw him back to you and to remind him of the good times, the love and the wonderful joy you shared together. Do this for three consecutive weeks and you should see steady improvement in your ex's disposition toward you. You can continue to work the jar with pink candles until they return to you if you like.

Draw Them Back - Don't TORMENT Them

One of the keys to really winning in the arena of love is to become "magnetic" instead of being "electric". The best way I can describe this is by observing those two phenomena. Magnets just naturally draw things to them by an indescribable, invisible but powerful force. Electricity sparks, lashes out, strikes and jolts. People who are confident in themselves, love themselves and see a relationship as an addition to their life are magnetic - they draw lovers to them and they are desirable to be around. People who lack confidence in themselves, don't think they are worthy of love or limit their love to "he's the only one that will ever love me" are electric - they cling like static to others out of desperation, their love is obsessive, unhealthy, sharp, spikey and jolting. You should strive to cultivate magnetic appeal with reconciliation spells - not electrical lashing out.

I've seen a real pattern, lately, where clients approach me asking for The Intranquility Spell against their ex to bring him back - right off the bat. This immediately raises red flags for me as a rootworker because it tells me they are being "electric" not "magnetic" and their chances for reconciliation are very low unless they change their tactics.

I will say, once and for all here, that The Intranquility Spell is not the solution for reconciliation in most cases. Its uses are rare and selective and it really only works on certain types of people. Usually it results in tormenting the lover which ends up driving them mad, not back to you. Again... change your tactics. Try a honey jar, or a lodestone spell - but don't beat them over the head or you'll only drive them away.

Clean Both Physically AND SPIRITUALLY!

Cleaning is such a mundane chore. The mopping, the vacuuming, the windows - it all gets to be such an exhausting task. But there's a way to make the most out of your weekly chores around the house: make them MAGICAL! You're already scrubbing away the dirt, you might as well scrub away any dark energy and negativity while you're at it! Here are a few great ways to make cleaning your house a clean both physically AND spiritually.

Mop the Floor and Clean the Ambiance

I find one of the easiest ways to keep your house clean is to lace your floor cleaning products with condition oils. If you're working a lot of hoodoo and you need to keep your house clean, or if you have a lot of foot traffic in your home, a good thing to do is convert your ordinary lemon-scented floor cleaner with Chinese Wash. Here's how I do it:

• 1 bottle of Lemon Pine-Sol
• 1 bottle of Van Van Oil
• 1 bottle of Chinese Wash

Open up your bottle of Lemon Pine-Sol, add in about an eye-dropper full of Van Van Oil, and about 1 capful of Chinese Wash into the container. Give it a really good shake while you pray to God to empower the blend to shatter any evil hexes laid against you, sweep out the Devil and his darkness, and to keep your home clean like a temple in his Most Holy Name.

The next time you mop your house, you'll be using Chinese Wash instead of plain ol' Pine-Sol, and you'll notice the energetic difference.

Protect Your Windows From Prying Eyes

The windows of your home are one of the weakest points when it comes to protection. People can look in and see your business, or they can even break in by jimmying a window open. A great thing to do is add some protection to your window cleaner using Fiery Wall of Protection Herb Bath. Because you don't want streaking on your windows, you'll be making an infusion of the herbs in ammonia instead of using a condition oil. Here's how you'll do it.

• 1 package of Fiery Wall of Protection Herb Bath
• 5 tablespoons of ammonia
• 1 bottle of ammonia-based window cleaner
• 1 strainer

Pour the Fiery Wall of Protection Herb Bath into a glass container. Pour the ammonia over it and cover it up to protect you from any fumes and to keep the ammonia from evaporating. Let the mix sit for about 20 minutes. Strain out the herbs and pour the mix into your window cleaner bottle, making sure to prevent the herbs from going into the bottle. Pray over the blend for God to protect your home from any enemies known and unknown and to keep your home safe. The next time you clean your windows, you'll be using protection-infused cleaner to keep your home safe.

Keep Your Body Clean, Body and Soul

This one is a personal favorite of mine. You can add any condition oil to a body wash or shampoo that you regularly use to keep that magical influence on your body. I like to put some Van Van Oil in my hand soap, some Fiery Protection Oil in my body wash or even some Success and Eloquence Oil in my shampoo. The applications here are unlimited!

Want to draw more money into your life? Get a spicy-smelling body wash and add some Money Draw Oil to your body wash (just the smallest bit - you don't want to irritate the skin). Want to attract a particular guy? Put some Love Me NOW! Oil in your floral shampoo and give him a tight hug - when he smells your hair he'll be hooked.

'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.
