The idea behind feeding the mojo bag is that the content inside is to keep the bag “alive”– feeding the spirit of the bag. Hoodoo and folk magic is based on a very deep-rooted belief that everything in this world is alive and is a part of the divine…the universe…God (whatever you want to call it). A secondary difference between mojos and European talismans is thatmojo hands are customarily fed with scented liquids that are themselvesderived from various magical herbal ingredients -- herbal conjure oils,magical herbal-floral colognes, and even liquors such as whiskey ("water oflife") in which herbs have been soaked. This is nature magic, the use ofthis earth's spiritual interweb of magically active beings, in whichpersons, animals, plants, and minerals are bound together in socialpatterns on an invisible plane. Hurston, Zora Neale (1990). Mules and Men. New York: Perennial Library. pp.139, 276. ISBN 9780060916480. Once you’re done adding the ingredients, tie or sew up the end of it, making sure to seal it up tight; you can also add a cord to it if you intend it to be worn. Although, if there is one specific item in the bag that you’re taking out to hold onto, you’re not going to seal the bag.

Each practitioner has his or her own method of preparing and fixing a mojo bag. There are certain steps in the process that are considered universal.

Again, speaking from personal history, i can say that in my life prior to the development of the internet, leather mojo bags with leather or nylon-braid drawstrings weresometimes tied with a reef knot or left snugged up tight, due to the lesser flexibility of the leather.But even those may be tied with a miller's knot if the leather is thin and flexible enough to bemanipulated in that way. Then, when that’s done, pass it through incense smoke and sprinkle it with a bit of saltwater to clean it, then pass it over (but not through!) a candle flame, to “start the mojo cookin’.” Here are a few representative mojo handcombinations, to which it would be customary to add aname-paper or wish-paper signifying the person for whom thework is being done: During the creation of your bag, talk to your mojo as you make it. After all, this is a Spirit bag. If that makes you uncomfortable think of it like this, every item in that bag has its own energy that needs to be activated. So you need to bring this bag alive and to life. Free Protection Spell Archive: protection spells against witchcraft, jinxes, hexes, and the evil eye

Items placed inside the bag are symbolic of the intention as well as the target and may include herbs, minerals, coins, animal parts, and other symbolic objects, as well as personal items. Lastly, willit be no problem for me to make this mojo bag for myself even if i still have the hex on me, or do i need to find a way to get it out on me first. And HOW do i do it? amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style=”color: #cc99ff;” mce_style=”color: #cc99ff;”><span mce_style=”color: #ffffff;” style=”color: rgb(255, 255, 255);”><span style=”color: #ffffff;” mce_style=”color: #ffffff;”><span style=”color: #ffffff;” mce_style=”color: #ffffff;”> </span></span></span></span> A broken length of chain; a broken ring; a rat bone or toyplastic rat; a catseyeshell; a miniature metal, bone, or plastic skull; a pinch of five fingergrass; and a miniature dagger; fixed in a red flannelbag and dressed with Stop Evil Condition Oil, Jinx RemovingOil, or Uncrossing Oil. And if it doesn’t have it’s energy activated how do you expect it to achieve a result for you. So it could be a good idea to give it a name. Compliment it, tell it what lovely things you’re adding and why. If you’ve got a piece of High John in there, make that the first thing you add, and then speak to John as you do it – he’s becoming the whole mojo, rather than just an ingredient in it.

Hemenway, Robert E. 1986. Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography. London: Camden Press. [ Google Scholar] Your mojo bag should be carried with you for the first week and you should sleep with it near you at night. It should also be fed each day for a total of seven days, at the same time it was originally fixed, if possible. After the first week, you may carry it on you during the day, or you may put it away in a private place.
