Protection mojo bag

 Protection Mojo Bag (Traditional Hoodoo Style – Very Strong)

This is the classic “don’t mess with me” hand that rootworkers make when someone wants to stop gossip, psychic attack, crossed conditions, the evil eye, or physical danger. It works 24/7 as long as you carry it and keep it alive.

Bag color (choose one)

•  Red flannel (most common and fierce for protection)

•  White flannel (pure spiritual shielding)

•  Black flannel (returns evil to sender)

Must contain an odd number of items: 5, 7, or 9 (7 is the strongest for protection)

Core 7 Items (the “never-fail” combination used by many old workers)

1.  Devil’s shoestring (trip and bind enemies) – one piece cut into 7 knots

2.  Rue (breaks jinxes and the evil eye) – pinch of dried rue

3.  Hyssop (Psalm 51 cleansing and protection) – small pinch

4.  Graveyard dirt (paid for with a silver dime at a soldier’s or protector ancestor’s grave) OR black salt if you can’t get dirt

5.  One small iron nail or coffin nail (returns harm)

6.  Piece of snakeroot OR a snake shed (sheds evil like a snake sheds skin)

7.  Your personal concern: lock of your hair tied with red thread + a drop of your blood on a name-paper (or saliva/sexual fluid if blood if you don’t do blood)

Optional power-ups (add to make it 9 items total)

•  Master root piece

•  Frankincense tears

•  Angelica root (“Holy Ghost root”)

•  Small crucifix or St. Michael medal

•  Black peppercorns (hot-foot evil back)

•  Pinch of gunpowder (old-school, use very carefully)

•  Fiery Wall of Protection powder

Petition paper

On a small piece of brown paper torn on all sides, write:

“I am surrounded by the Fiery Wall of Protection. No evil can see me, touch me, or harm me in any way.”

Turn paper 90° and write your full name 9 times over it.

Fold the paper away from you 3 times (to push evil away), turn and fold again, repeating until small.

How to put it together (best on a Saturday during the hour of Mars or Saturn)

1.  Light frankincense & myrrh or protection incense and a red or white candle.
2 Hold each item in your left hand, pray Psalm 91 or speak plainly:
“In the name of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, I charge you to protect me from all harm seen and unseen enemies.”
3 Breathe on each item three times.
4 Place everything in the bag (do not count out loud).
5 Add 3 drops of Fiery Wall of Protection oil or holy oil.
6 Tie shut with 3 knots while saying “So mote it be” or “Amen” each time.

Feeding schedule (keep it alive)

Once a week (Saturday or Tuesday night is perfect):

•  Sprinkle with whiskey or Florida Water

•  Smoke it in protection incense

•  Hold it to your mouth and breathe into it 3 times while praying

•  Anoint with protection oil

Where to carry it

•  Left pocket (traditional)

•  Bra (very common for women)

•  Around neck in a black pouch (if very serious danger)

•  Under your bed or over your front door if protecting the house

Warning – Old-school rule

Never let anyone else touch or see inside this bag. If they do, it dies instantly. Bury it at a crossroads with whiskey and thanks, then make a new one.

Carry this and you walk inside an invisible wall of fire that burns anything evil that comes near you. Many people swear they have felt bullets bounce off, curses slide away, or attackers suddenly turn and run for no reason.

Stay safe, and keep that hand strong.

Love Spells

 Witch Love Spells: History, Practice, and Ethical Considerations

What Are Witch Love Spells?

Witch love spells are magical rituals or incantations performed with the intention of influencing romantic feelings, attracting a specific person, strengthening an existing relationship, or kindling general love and desire. In modern witchcraft and folk-magic traditions, they typically involve some combination of the following elements:

•  Symbolic tools: candles (especially red or pink), herbs (rose petals, lavender, damiana, vervain), crystals (rose quartz, emerald), personal items (hair, clothing, photographs), written petitions, oils, or poppets (cloth dolls representing the target).

•  Timing: performed on Fridays (Venus day), during a waxing or full moon (to increase love), or on specific pagan holidays such as Beltane or St. Valentine’s Day.

•  Invocation: calling upon deities of love (Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Oshun, Erzulie Freda, etc.), spirits, angels, or simply the practitioner’s own focused will.

•  Verbal components: rhymes, chants, or affirmations spoken aloud or written and burned/buried.

Love spells exist on a spectrum:

•  General love-drawing spells – meant to attract “the right person” without naming anyone specific.

•  Sweetening spells – to make an existing partner more affectionate (e.g., the famous “honey jar” spell).

•  Compulsion or binding spells – intended to force a particular person to fall in love against their natural inclination (historically called “goetic” or “black” love magic).

Historical Overview

Love magic is one of the oldest and most universal forms of folk practice.

Ancient World

•  Mesopotamia (c. 2000 BCE): Clay tablets record incantations to make a man or woman burn with desire, often addressed to Ishtar.

•  Ancient Egypt: The “Love Spell of Victorious Horus” (Papyrus Chester Beatty, c. 1200 BCE) uses effigies and wax figures.

•  Greece and Rome: The Greek Magical Papyri (2nd century BCE–5th century CE) contain dozens of erotic attraction spells (agōgē) and binding spells (katadesmoi), often inscribed on lead tablets and buried with the dead or thrown into wells. Roman writers such as Ovid and Apuleius describe love philtres and witches who could “draw a man from the ends of the earth.”

Medieval and Early Modern Europe

Christian authorities condemned love magic as demonic. The 13th-century Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches) explicitly lists inducing love or lust through witchcraft as proof of pact with the Devil. Despite the danger, village cunning folk and clergy themselves were frequently consulted for love charms (e.g., using menstrual blood in food, tying knots in cords, or reciting corrupted psalms).

African Diaspora and Hoodoo/Conjure

In the American South, enslaved Africans and their descendants developed a rich tradition of rootwork that included powerful love workings: “nation sacks,” mojo bags containing lodestone and a lover’s hair, or the famous “Follow Me Boy” oil used by sex workers to keep clients returning.

19th–20th Century Occult Revival

Figures such as Paschal Beverly Randolph (sexual magic), the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later Aleister Crowley integrated erotic magic into high ceremonial practice. Modern Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner in the 1940s–50s, generally discouraged coercive love spells but popularized gentler attraction magic.

Contemporary Practice

Today, love spells are widely shared on TikTok (“WitchTok”), Etsy, and pagan forums. Many modern witches explicitly reject spells that target a specific unwilling person, favoring instead self-love rituals or spells “for the good of all and harming none” (the Wiccan Rede).

Ethical Considerations

The ethics of love spells are the most debated topic in modern witchcraft and occult communities. Three broad positions exist:

The Consent-Absolutist Position
Any spell that attempts to override another person’s free will is inherently unethical and tantamount to magical rape. This view is dominant in most Wiccan, eclectic pagan, and New Age circles since the 1980s. Practitioners argue that even “mild” influence (e.g., making someone notice you more) violates autonomy and will rebound karmically (“threefold law” or simple cause-and-effect).

The Traditionalist/Pragmatic Position
Found in older folk magic, Hoodoo, and some ceremonial traditions. Love magic has always been performed for hire; village witches and rootworkers rarely refused a client who wanted a specific person. Ethics are contextual: if the target has already shown interest, or if the client has been wronged, stronger measures may be justified. The practitioner’s responsibility is to warn the client of possible backlash, not to police desire itself.

The  Radical-Will Position
Associated with chaos magick and some Left-Hand-Path practitioners. All magic is manipulation of reality; drawing an arbitrary line at love is inconsistent. If you accept that advertising, fashion, and flirting are attempts to influence attraction, the difference between a spell and a seduction technique is merely one of method.

Common Practical Arguments Against Coercive Love Spells

Even many non-absolutists caution against them for purely pragmatic reasons:

•  They frequently backfire, creating obsession, stalking, or violent jealousy in the target.

•  They bind the caster as much as the target (“you become what you obsess over”).

•  They rarely produce genuine, lasting love; the relationship often collapses when the spell’s energy dissipates.

Self-Love as the Modern Alternative

Most contemporary teachers now recommend redirecting the desire for a particular person into spells for confidence, magnetism, and openness to healthy love. The logic: “Work on becoming the kind of person your ideal partner would fall in love with, rather than trying to force a specific person to change.”

So, should you do love spells?

That is for you to decide on a case by case basis and with the relevant ethical and psychological considerations taken into account . As with all witchcraft, no magick is totally free and every action causes ripples through lives and therefore this is all part of the equation of balance and consequence.

True love is a wonderful thing that cannot be made to happen but you can of course help things along, say with a shy partner. If they truly love you then they will always love you Magick or no. If they are with you because of spells then you may spend more time thinking if they really love you than you would be happily in love with someone who truly wants to be with you.

Witch love spells are an ancient and cross-cultural phenomenon that range from gentle attraction charms to aggressive binding work. While their techniques and ingredients have evolved, the core tension remains unchanged: the collision between human desire and the principle of consent. Modern witchcraft has largely moved toward an ethic that prioritizes autonomy and self-work over coercion, but older and more pragmatic traditions continue to exist. Whether one views love spells as harmless fantasy, legitimate folk practice, or unethical manipulation ultimately depends on one’s metaphysical worldview and personal moral framework. What is undisputed is that, for better or worse, the urge to use magic to secure love is as old as humanity itself.

Get Knotted: Witches Knot Spells

 Get Knotted.

The None Knot Witches Ladder 

The Nine Knot Witch’s Ladder (often simply called the “Witch’s Nine-Knot Spell”) is one of the oldest and most widespread forms of knot magic in European folk witchcraft, particularly in British, Scottish, and Appalachian traditions. It is a classic example of sympathetic magic: by tying nine knots in a cord while speaking a specific incantation, the witch “binds” or “loosens” energy toward a desired outcome—most traditionally to bind an enemy, cause impotence, control the wind, or secure love, but it can be adapted for almost any purpose.

The Traditional Rhyme

The most famous version of the incantation (recorded in the 19th century but clearly much older) is:

By knot of one, the spell’s begun.

By knot of two, it cometh true.

By knot of three, so mote it be.

By knot of four, this power I store.

By knot of five, the spell’s alive.

By knot of six, this spell I fix.

By knot of seven, events I’ll leaven.

By knot of eight, it will be fate.

By knot of nine, what’s done is mine.

Each line is spoken as its corresponding knot is tied. The knots are usually tied in a specific pattern along a cord, rope, or thread (traditionally red, black, or white depending on intent).

Knot-Tying Patterns

There are two classic ways to place the nine knots:

The “binding” order (most common for curses, protection, or containment):
Knots are tied at intervals working from the two ends inward toward the center:
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – (center) 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9
This literally “ties the target up” and is used when you want to restrict or bind something/someone.

 The “releasing” order (for love spells, healing, prosperity, or raising power):
Knots are tied from one end straight through to the other:
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9
This is thought to “draw” the desired thing toward you.

Materials Traditionally Used

•  A length of cord, yarn, embroidery thread, hair, or leather thong (about 1–3 feet long).

•  Red cord → love, passion, life force.

•  Black cord → banishing, binding, hexing.

•  White cord → blessing, healing, purification.

•  Sometimes feathers, beads, or charms are threaded between knots to strengthen intent.

Historical Examples

•  In 17th–19th century Scotland and England, accused witches were sometimes found with knotted cords hidden in their homes; prosecutors claimed these were used to “tie up” the weather or cause cattle to stop giving milk.

•  Sailors bought “wind knots” from witches: three knots in a rope. Untie the first for a breeze, the second for a strong wind, the third for a gale. (This is why you still hear the phrase “three sheets to the wind.”)

•  In the famous 1618 Pendle witch trials in Lancashire, a knotted cord was presented as evidence of malefic magic.

Modern Adaptations

Today the nine-knot spell is used for:

•  Binding an abuser or stalker (ethical practitioners add “harm none” clauses).

•  Cord-cutting rituals (tying nine knots while visualizing a toxic relationship, then burning or burying the cord).

•  Manifestation ladders (adding beads or written petitions between knots).

•  Daily 9-day spells: tie one knot each day for nine days while repeating the rhyme, then keep or bury the finished ladder.

How To Untie the Spell

If you ever need to undo a nine-knot working, you reverse the process: untie the knots in reverse order (9 down to 1) while saying the rhyme backward or a simple release statement such as “By knot of nine, this spell unbind…” This is considered essential in traditional craft to avoid backlash.

The nine-knot practice remains one of the simplest, most portable, and most powerful tools in a witch’s repertoire—requiring nothing more than a piece of string.

Honey Jar Spells

 What is the Honey Jar Spell?

The honey jar spell is one of the most popular and enduring love spells in American Hoodoo/conjure, Appalachian folk magic, and modern witchcraft. Its core purpose is to “sweeten” a specific person’s feelings toward you — to make them think kindly of you, speak sweetly about you, become more affectionate, forgiving, or romantically interested. It is classified as a sweetening spell rather than a full-on compulsion or “bend-over” working, which means it is considered gentler and less likely to override free will completely (though opinions on that still vary).

The underlying magical principle is sympathetic magic: honey is slow-moving, sticky, and irresistibly sweet, so the target’s thoughts and emotions are drawn toward you in the same gradual, clinging, pleasant way.

Traditional Hoodoo Honey Jar (for romantic love or reconciliation)

Basic supplies

•  A small glass jar with a metal lid (jelly jars, baby-food jars, or honey jars work perfectly)

•  Honey (real honey, never artificial; some workers use cane syrup or molasses for darker intentions)

•  A plain white or red candle (or a candle in the person’s “likeness” color)

•  A square of brown paper bag (traditional petition paper)

•  Red or pink ink (for love); sometimes black ink is added to “cross out” obstacles

•  Personal concerns of the target: hair, signature, photo, sexual fluids, or at minimum their full name written an odd number of times (3, 7, 9, etc.)

•  Herbs associated with love and sweetening: rose petals, lavender, catnip, damiana, cardamom, cinnamon, balm of Gilead, lovage root, cubeb berries, or deer’s tongue

•  Optional: a lodestone and magnetic sand (to “draw” them), or a small magnet

Step-by-step (classic method)

1.  Write the target’s full name 3, 7, or 9 times on the paper.

2.  Turn the paper 90° and write your name the same number of times across theirs so the names cross and form a + sign.

3.  In a continuous script around the crossed names (never lifting the pen), write your exact petition in a circle, e.g., “Love me only, think of me constantly, be sweet to me always.”

4.  Place the petition in the jar along with any personal concerns and a generous pinch of the love herbs.

5.  Fill the jar completely with honey while speaking your desire aloud (some sing Psalm 23 or recite their petition).

6.  Close the lid tightly.

7.  Light a candle on top of the lid (dressed with love oil). As it burns, state your desire again.

8.  When the candle finishes, shake the jar gently while calling the person’s name and commanding them to “grow sweeter and sweeter toward me every day.”

9.  Repeat the candle-burning and shaking routine every Monday and Friday (or just on Fridays, Venus day) until you see results. Some workers do this for 7 or 9 weeks; others keep the jar working indefinitely.

Where to keep it

•  On your altar

•  Under your bed

•  In the bedroom (for passion)

•  Hidden in a drawer (most common in traditional Hoodoo)

Variations

•  Reconciliation jar: add balm of Gilead buds and the couple’s wedding photo.

•  Same-sex love: many workers simply use the same spell; some add lavender or violet leaves.

•  “Shut-up-and-come-back” jar: add poppy seeds (confusion) or a devil’s shoestring root (to trip them up from leaving again).

•  Modern witchcraft version: many pagans use maple syrup or agave for vegan reasons and add rose quartz chips.

Expected results (according to practitioners)

•  The person begins texting or calling more often.

•  They become noticeably kinder, more forgiving, or flirtatious.

•  Arguments stop; they start bringing gifts or doing favors.

•  In strong cases, they confess love or propose reconciliation.

Warnings from experienced workers

•  Honey jars are famous for working slowly but persistently — sometimes for months or years.

•  If the person truly hates you or is committed elsewhere, the spell may only produce friendliness or temporary affection, not full-blown romance.

•  Overly frequent shaking or burning too many candles can “overheat” the situation and cause obsession or arguments.

•  Disposing of a honey jar improperly (throwing it in running water or burying it at a crossroads) can end the sweetening abruptly.

In short, the honey jar is the go-to “gentle persuasion” spell in rootwork: not as aggressive as hot-foot or crossing work, but far more focused than a simple self-love candle. It remains hugely popular because it is inexpensive, easy to hide, and has a centuries-long track record of producing noticeable (if gradual) changes in a target’s behavior and feelings.
