The Hoodoo tradition of the American South is another plant with energy, if not often, we experienced a patient to take 'a medicine to cure.
The word "Hoodoo" is of African origin, and is used to describe various forms of magic, folk healing and hexing used, roots and herbs. Today, the hoodoo doctor often referred to as "root doctor" or "juju man". This quaint notions deny the power of tradition, but because inAfrica, this practice has been a priest (botonons) and Wizards (azondoto), which is rightly feared and respected for its herbal expertise and knowledge of the spirits and bochio or soul.
When these priests came to America as slaves, they brought with them their knowledge, however, meant the absence of certain plants that they would take to Native American and the European allies and investment practices in their work. In modern hoodoo, we see the fusion of many herbal magicStrands.
One of the most popular forms of this magic is the "mojo bag" - a bunch of plants and sacred objects from or to bring luck and protection to ward off negativity. These are not so different than those created offerenda packages Andean shamans as a call to spirits that their healing energies directly to the person making the offer. The word "mojo comes from the West African Mojuba (" Prayer ") - a method of spiritual energies directed at similarEffect.
To read is a mojo bag with a washcloth magic items, which is normally conducted on the person, hidden from sight, and are often worn directly on the skin. When the mojo is meant to protect a property and not as a person, it can be hidden in the vicinity of the door. In any case, it is important that no one sees and touches the bag apart from the person he holds, or may go its charm is lost.
The contents of the bag, depending on its purposebut usually there are at least three magical objects, whether roots, leaves, feathers, crystals, stones, snake vertebrae, Lodestone, metal charms, and papers were drawn on the seal, or written requests. Sometimes there are more than three, in the combinations, which always add up to an odd number.
The reason odd numbers will be different for depending on who you ask, but is a popular destination that the universe works in odd numbers, in order to "keep things moving. Three, for example,wants "to" four, "whereas four fixed fixed and instead of a smooth tumble. To 'energy in motion" for the benefit of a client therefore obtain or uses a losing streak that' seems never ending, "an odd number is , in order to signal to the universe, now it's time to undo a change.
The Jungian psychoanalyst Marie-Louise von Franz, including those discussed in her book, The Interpretation of Fairy Tales. Last Jung, she noticed that it involves "three: as a rule with the Flow of movement for the movement ... You need two poles and the exchange of energy between them - for example, the electrical positive and negative poles and the electricity, the voltage is like. "
For economic success, for example, is an old trick to wrap mojo High John the Conqueror root in a bill and add incense and a little sugar, then tie them all into a green bag. Here are five elements are used: the root, the dollar bill, the incense, sugar and> Bag itself, the symbolism behind these products work in harmony with the principle that draws Plant Spirit at the same same. High John will conquer, "" financial worries, the higher the denomination, the more money to be drawn by the magician or his client. The bag is green, because that is the color of money ( "greenbacks"), and sugar sweetened the pot.
For a peaceful home, angelica root, olive leaves, buds, lavender, lemon balm, basil leavesbound in a blue bag (harmony), along with a few hairs from each other the whole family. Again we see the doctrine of signatures play a role in the choice of angelica ( "angel root ') and a balm for spiritual harmony and the leaves of an olive branch for peace.
Another unusual mojo trick is for invisibility. This calls for poppy seeds and dried leaves along the floor away "under a dark moon". In addition, myrrh, marjoram, Slippery Elm and fresh dill comemixed with spring water and almond oil. If it is dry, the mixture added to a mojo bag or sprinkle objects to hide them from others. The magic, the magic as they can as curandera Doris Rivera Lenz says of her own work to give to a client to believe themselves that they do not draw attention to themselves, they can navigate their difficulties with more confidence 'know' that it is invisible. The change, in other words, the customer and not the externalWorld.
When it is ready, a mojo bag is cleaned and incense in his mind "fed" with rum or whiskey, and with Florida Water. Body fluids can also be used, especially when the magic influence on another. To a person fall in love with you, for example, it is useful to some of their sweat, urine, saliva or DAB in the bag (other personal items - the closer to their DNA as possible, such as hair or nail clippings - also to be added to the bagitself).
A mojo bag can also be used for dowsing (as we understand it in the west), taking him to a string and using it like a pendulum. By asking to show the spirit of the charm of "yes" (often by turning clockwise) and 'no' (often out by rocking back and forth), you have a device for spiritual answers to simple questions.
For more complex questions (eg "How do I make the man I want to fall in love with me?") Is it better to write theLetters of the alphabet, and let the pendulum to spell out the answer to each of the gravitating series.
