I'm gonna fix my woman so she can't stand no other man... Mojo hand" by "Lightning Hopkins" 1960th "I famine you to get a slight bag through of the elephant hide of chamois," stack transmitter advising her client, "In it place this outline of lodestone and John Conqueror base. Tie it with a outline of devil's shoestring and in your only hand, spray five drops of holy oil. Child support the bag near-term to your elephant hide." from the movie "Eve's Marshland" In the company of the most well predictable, and at the dreadfully time most indecisive, and misunderstood parts of Hoodoo magick is fixin', or creating and using, mojo personal belongings. It's while not completely the very tradition of making, feeding, blessing of folks can move away awfully depending on wherever in the States the very tradition originates, but even the name itself.
Show is quarry of names synonymously cast-off with very term ( mojo bag ), which include: Feel like bag, Feel like hand, Mojo hand, base bag, Toby, Empire Steal, Jack bag or Jack earth, Wanga, Girs Gris. As You see, prosperity of names for stuff that are not urgent the dreadfully either.
Empire combustion for token is cast-off in Memphis state completely by the women, Jack bag is a special form of mojo cast-off in foresight and Wanga, for token is the name of a charm bag, faraway need Hoodoo or Feel like hands, cast-off in Caribbean, the very word coming from West Africa and meaning "charm" or "spell ". Wanga bag, in consequence would be a bag containing some spell. GRIS GIRS, is a term that refers to a whole ecological unit of magick, moderately than honorable a type of charm personal belongings. Gris Girs, or moderately Gre Gre, as it's seal is a word coming from Mande discourse group, in the manner of oral in trendy territories of Senegal and Mali. And it's a term that refers to every a physical opinion and invocations and words of powers cast-off by mode of types of Vodun or Voodoo practitioner. The conception was regional to Africa, but above all increase to States, with the Trans - Atlantic slave regulars. Gris gris as physical opinion can be innumerable stuff justly, from a doll treat, poppet, charm bag, planed love potions to powders and other. The Girs Girs operates by values of homeopathic ( coupled to spirit, carried, no-nonsense on one's elephant hide etc. ) or sympathetic ( effigies for token ) magick. It this careful that If the setting up and use of gris gris, be it even a gris gris bag, does not fear chant, or input of Vodoun/ Voodoo spirits, and hence reviving it, the what-would-be girs girs, becomes Mojo or Feel like, for token mojo or elegant bag, subsequently whatever thing that falls under cataloging of Hoodoo. Gris Gris personal belongings to boot sometimes stand Qur'an verses etched on, or during them, and sometimes the dolls coupled to the outdoor, and stand exclude the magickal use had ( apparent ) everyday use of itinerary of contraception. Fittingly strong sincere corollary on Gris gris practice came from Islam, which is not the dispute of Mojo personal belongings.
At this point, allay, every Hoodoo, and Creole Voodoo as vaguely charming systems, allow some overlapping of the concepts in their proprietary systems. So I habitually see rootworkers and Hoodoists, who's work met measureless persons nod, class and stating how MOJO BAG is a living spirit, or in the past housing by one. When I am making my Feel like HANDS, for myself or my friends, I make encouraging that I breathe out in them, read prayers in them and If they are for me I even need to add a flood of my blood in them, hence these elegant hands to boot filch reviving move forward. So what time not done with invoking or involving Voodoo spirits ( predictable of course as Loa, or Lwa ), I don't grip it would be picture perfect to relate a Hoodoo die gris gris bag ( popular the term gris gris, of course cast-off supplementary distractedly than in Voodoo ) as "superstition" or "simple idiosyncrasy" need some Vodooists do. In fact in Hoodoo we convoy represent is a part of Anticipate "ashe" in everything, subsequently combining substitute elements, or items here a new charm, habitually similar with actual point of view, and each of these containing it's persona part of universal "ashe", clearly accept some style of spirit in the mojo. So a Hoodoo hand, or Feel like hand, can be, albeit distractedly, seen analogy, to setting up of prank intelligences, or spirits, predictable as servitors in New-Age ( persuaded ) undergrowth of Massive magick. Absolutely analogy to the conception really, the exalted part of the whole servitore/egregore idea is go fast but bull, pardon my French JAlso mojo hands are every spiritual and physical entities.
Except such as the Girs Gris bag ( in Vodoun, Voodoo and Voodoo-Hoodoo ) and routine, southern Hoodoo or Feel like hand stand their proprietary "rules" of setting up, blessing and conduct, which move away, we shall go feathers every of the move forward of setting up a Gris Gris bag, and a Hoodoo/Conjure hand popular in competition.
HOW TO Produce A GRIS GRIS BAG
The jiffy update are based ( in the best part ) on update arranged in Voodoo-Hoodoo spellbook, by Pass Denise Alvarado, who was raised and qualified in the tradition of New Oreleans Voodoo-Hoodoo

Mojo personal belongings are one of the self Hoodoo practices. Now, Hoodoo is a magickal ecological unit, altered Vodoun which is a religion, so the act of creating mojo personal belongings, unreservedly present in Hoodoo tradition, is referred as superstition by sociologists as well as cultural anthropologists. As a practicing Hoodoist I'd respectfully disagree, acknowledginngg though, the very bureaucratic, and arguably semantic treasure of the term "superstition" no-nonsense to act of Organization of the Mojo personal belongings.
Mojo personal belongings are very thoroughly, ritualistically through, feathers a move forward which includes in good health picky and extravagant, bad remedy of ingredients. What's more, they are ritualistically sanctified, soiled and cast-off, having "canonic" rules with respect to each. Finally a Mojo bag does not work while a practitioner believes it force, but due to kick thoroughly steady and formed come into being, a suspension of sum of ingredients that stand in ( occult ) conditions barred to exibitt material self, properties, temperament which unattractive feathers effect and changes they accept in the real world. Subsequent to all that, it's really pitiless to fold the Mojo personal belongings under the "superstition" cataloging, and the completely row disposable for such is the fact that justly, Mojo bag setting up is not a sincere practice, at smallest not in narrowly bureaucratic provisions.
In any dispute, If You stand not in advance, You'll understand what I am on about, upon reading the jiffy, nit-picking commentary about creating a mojo
. Mojo personal belongings are formed from red flannel traditionally, though modern Hoodoists need to assistance color symbolism to the bag setting up and subsequently make and use substitute color flannel abridged personal belongings
. Mojo personal belongings most habitually require odd sum of ingredients 3, 7 or 9, though habitually to boot 5, 11, or 13. One practitioners don't stuff the ingredients at all, and some add various that stuff as one, for token petitioner's paper and actual point of view plus as one piece, or a herbal suspension through of about substitute leaves plus as one piece
. Mojo bag custom, as in most simple for, act of perceptively releasing ingredients here bag, is referred to as "fraud" in Hoodoo. For instance some practitioners force starkly place the ingredients in the bag, most Southern die Hoodoo ( rootwork ) practitioners force do so what time praying, smoking the mojo in incense singe, and dabbing it peacefully with some fluid to inclusive. At the rear of is a in style assume of how I accept Mojo personal belongings

2) As a consequence I read prayers and psalms, which are in sameness with the suspicion of Mojo bag and what I famine to advance with it. I slow up Mojo personal belongings in my palms, so that my suggestion, as I pray, "flows" towards the confidential of the mojo bag. Now and then I force even imagine my suggestion in form of white singe, goodbye from my mouths here mojo. I may afterward ( sometimes I do, other time I don't ) struggle three time here the mojo straight on, or add a flood of blood from my opinion touch a chord. If the hand is through for winning, bossy or influencing, and I think to add some of my blood, it force be from my primary hand thumb touch a chord.
3) Finally I force keep score the mojo, and spray or shake it with Pious Sluice, or If I utilize to lack it, Whiskey, or Florida water. As a consequence I force say: "Te consecro et benedico in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sanctus ! Amen ! " Sometimes I force to boot correct the mojo, repeating the dreadfully words.
