Healing Power of God

Exodus 15 V 26

²⁶ and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

God is a powerful healer whose Spirit cleanses, heals, and uplifts us. Because the Spirit of God is in the Word (Bible) you can work with your Bible to heal illnesses and crossed conditions. The first thing you have to do before you even start healing work is believe that you are already healed. This is the first step. Your faith in the healing process makes the work successful.

No matter how bad the situation is or overwhelming the blocks your faith is what matters. Most of the time the biggest block to healing is us. We stand in the way of our own healing because of fears, worry, doubt, and inner turmoil. As humans we hold on to stuff that needs to be let go. Stop thinking about the past and let that mess go so you can move forward. It’s old mess from the past like unforgivingness, hate, resentment, and grudges that creates stress, depression, disease, and all kinds of negative conditions that plague us today. Let it go so you can be productive in life.

That’s why I included Exodus 15 V 26 because it does two things: (1) you are petitioning God to lead you in the path that’s right for you, and (2) claiming God’s healing as yours. By working the bible verse you are asking God to show you what you cannot see and uplift you where you need uplifting. That’s the best way I can explain it.

To do this healing work, find you a white candle. Tear out Exodus 15 V 26. Write your full name and the condition on the bible verse. Burn the verse to ash and sprinkle the ash on the white candle going away from you. Hold the white candle and a photo of yourself in your hands and ask God to fill you with healing power. Speak out loud from your heart about the situation and why you need healing. God hears all prayer but stating your petition out loud will help you build power in yourself and the work so it is a total success.

Dress your head with olive oil in a cross shape. Light the white candle on top of your photo and state the bible verse with your petition at least three times in the name of the Holy Trinity. If you have personal prayers you can also work with those.

Everyday state your petition with bible verse three times over the candle. Do this work when the hands of the clock are going down to remove the negative condition…Drlovebug

Janie's Prayer (Healing Conjure)

I got this prayer from Momma Starr. She has named it Janie's Prayer after her niece so that's what I call it. This prayer is very powerful for healing work and garnering strength in hard times. I thought it was appropriate to share for when you're having those hard times and need the strength to fight life's battles.


Always remember through God all things are possible. Drlovebug

Janie’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, I call on You right now in a special way. It is through Your Power
that I was created.Every breath I take, every morning I wake and every moment of
every hour, I live under Your Power.

Father, I ask You now to touch me with that same power. For if You created me from
nothing, You can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of Your
Spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what is broken. Root out
any unproductive cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damage
areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection.

Let the warmth of Your healing love pass through my body to make new any
unhealthy areas so that my body will function the way you created it to function.
And Father, restore me to full health in mind and body so that I may serve You the
rest of my life.

I ask this in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen

Hoodoo is More than the Product..

As more information spreads on the Internet about Hoodoo more and more people are taking on the role of workers.

In many ways this could be a great thing because one worker cannot help everybody however as more people take on the role as hoodoo doctor especially after finishing your studies online there are some things to be remembered:

(1) Hoodoo is more than a bunch of spiritual products you learn about online.

Yes the products are very important and have their place in this work if they are made right and prayed right. I'm not dogging spiritual products. I make and sell my own spiritual products but what I am saying is that there's a lot more to Conjure work than oils and formulas. People focus too much on the right formula or oil recipe that it takes away from the true spirit of Conjure work.

(2) Hoodoo aint a bunch of mojos and gree grees that you throw together.

This is another big problem in Conjure. Some folks think that if they know how to put together a mojo hand or a gree gree then they can open shop as a hoodoo worker. Well I'm sorry folks but just because you put together a few hands that work really well doesn't make you a conjure worker. That's all people know which is mojo hands. I've seen folks online recommend mojo hands for any and all situations. Well some situations require more than a conjure hand. There are always other steps to take.

(3) A Hoodoo worker knows more than burning candles.

In some ways I think candles are pushed too much in online hoodoo. Don't get me wrong. I love burning candles especially vigil lights but I have seen amazing results in my work without burning a single candle. All you need sometimes is an heartfelt prayer to God and an open mind. So what if you know how to prepare a few lights? There's more to the work than lighting it up.

(4) Honey jars, Honey jars, and more Honey jars. Oh lord give me a break!

Oh yes every worker online knows how to use a honey jar but the problem is there are a bunch of other works you can do using sugar, syrups, and everything else. There's more real hoodoo to be found in the everyday world than through a honey jar. Besides you can't sweeten everybody with honey. Some folks needs their ass whipped and manhandled in something stronger than just throwing a small piece of namepaper in a jar of honey.

(5) Spiritual Baths for cleansing.

Baths are overstated in conjure work. Yes they are good but sometimes you don't have time to take a bath or just can't for whatever reason. I prefer a quick sweep over myself with a conjure broom than taking a spiritual bath. Regardless of how I cleanse I always pray and call on God. A thorough cleansing can be done with only a few prayers and some Scripture. Don't limit yourself to just baths. They're only icing on the cake.

These are just some of the things people need to pay attention. Let me ask you something. If you didn't have any formulas, honey jars, candles, and none of the famous "tools of the trade" can you still do conjure work? It's still possible! I'm not discounting the use of these tools but if you are doing hoodoo then realize there's more to the work than the "toys."

Hoodoo is more than the product. If you get stuck in the implements of the trade then you're just about as good as the products. Drlovebug

Demons (WTF!!!)

A dangerous trend I have noticed lately is that more and more workers online are talking about working with demons. These spirits have become as popular as the Intranquil Spirit it seems.

Most of these hoodoo workers practice ceremonial magick so they're in effect combining the two. This is due to some confusion about magical seals. There's a story being told online that as conjure workers ordered their products through the mail they bought books with magical seals and ceremonial work from these same "marketeers." That is the proposed origin of these infernal and demonic spirits in conjure.

Well I'll tell you that story is true but only partially. Yes the magical seals are used in some conjure practices BUT they are not worked the same as in ceremonial magic. Most down-home conjure workers don't go around summoning demons. There are a lot easier and more effective ways to get a job done without conjuring some demonic spirit you don't know that you read out of an old book. True conjure workers don't go around casting circles and calling up you don't know what. It ain't hoodoo.

Demons and those kind of spirits are very dangerous to work with. This is not something that people should just grab and run with because you might cross yourself up with no way out.

That kind of stuff is from Crowley, ceremonial, and high magick which has no place in hoodoo or conjure work. I don't care what the online sources are saying. Some people might disagree with me on this. They'll use the story I mentioned above as proof but where does the story come from? ONLINE. Where did they learn this? On the Internet! Need I say more?

I'm pretty sure there are probably a few real workers out there in the world that has done this kind of stuff with demons and whatnot but we'll NEVER KNOW because they would never talk about it...ever! It would never come up in a conversation. However when you look on the Internet at what folks are saying about these spirits it's a whole different story. A far cry from reality don't you think. Drlovebug

Conjure Craft

There is no such thing as Conjure Craft. Hoodoo works with God, the Bible, Ancestors, and the saints. That's it!

There are no demons, gods, goddesses, deities, or anything similar in Conjure work.

Some practitioners are blending hoodoo with wicca and other pagan practices but what they are doing is not Hoodoo. It's a mish mash.

I first saw the term Conjure Craft at the website of a well known pagan publisher where someone used the word. I could be wrong but I think she coined the term. Whoever started it doesn't matter but it is important to remember that paganism has nothing to do with Hoodoo/Conjure/Rootwork.

I'm not against Pagans or their practices. I'm not here to judge pagans and what they do but we have to be honest with ourselves and each other about what is what.

There's Conjure work and then there's paganism. Keep the two separate. Just like Hoodoo isn't another form of Santeria or ATR; it is not American paganism or pagan magick of any sort either. Drlovebug

Moth Balls

Moth balls are an old trick that will protect you from being thrown. They keep away snakes whether animals or hidden enemies trying to knock you down.

All you have to do is pray over them then lay the mothballs inside your home and around the property. Ask God to place protection around you and your loved ones.

They work because moth balls eat any work thrown at you. If someone is working hard against you the works will lose their touch.

A powerful trick to send devils running is to place a *bloodline* around your property while sprinkling the moth balls. I've seen this work against demons and muertos sent to cause trouble. With the bloodline added these nasty spirits canNOT cross your threshold.

I'll talk more about the bloodline in the next post...

Hands On Conjure vs Online Hoodoo

There is no teaching like Hands on conjure work from a traditional conjure worker. Hands down. The reason why you'll learn "real Conjure work" the hands on way is because when you learn directly from a worker you are being taught information that applies directly to your situation. We all have our own personal issues. When you are dealing with a true conjure worker he/she will look at your situation for what it is and show you how to work through it using conjure work and plain old common sense.

What many people don't realize is that true conjure workers are true readers. I mean this in every sense of the word. Anytime you are dealing with a real conjure worker he/she is reading your spirit whether by phone, e-mail, chat, or face to face. When a real conjure worker looks at your photo they can read your spirit. Because true workers are true readers they "see" everything going on and will teach you based on what you need, the kind of work you are supposed to do, and the hurdles you need to jump in order to be a strong person overall. You won't get any of that in an online hoodoo course however you will get "schooled" when you learn hands on from a real conjure worker.

This brings up a problem when discussing online hoodoo courses. When you take an online or written hoodoo course given over the Internet you are given information that is "one size fits all."

There is no single trick that will work each and every time. Each situation requires something a little different. Sometimes you may only have to do one work to hit home but most of the time you have to do more than one kind of job to handle a situation. Most online workers are under the impression that you have to do just one work and that's all you need. A lot of online hoodoos also think there's only one way to do a job and that's it.

This will work against you because you are putting limits on the work that shouldn't be there to begin with. These workers think and act this way because they all took online hoodoo courses and never had hands on training so they are only limited to what they learn in those courses. If you don't believe me then do a search on google and see what these workers are saying. If you pay attention you'll realize they're all saying the same thing. They're only passing around regurgitated information. That kind of information gets old and leds to mediocre workers who can't hit on point in their tricks. I'm serious. Look around the internet and read the bs you see in some of the forums. That's the problem with limiting yourself only to online hoodoo courses.

When you learn hands on conjure work from real workers you are taught to use what really works with results to back that up. You are being taught something special just for you. You are being shown old traditional works that you won't find in online hoodoo courses that always hit the target. Hands on work empowers you in ways you'll never get from online hit-and-miss classes. Hands on conjure work teaches what'll always stay with you. It teaches you how to use your strengths and weaknesses to be a better and stronger individual. That is how we all grow.

Some may say I'm only trying to promote Starr's courses but that's not the whole truth. Yes I am pushing her courses out there because they're hands on. I'm not trying to make her look good. I'm only speaking the truth because she's all about hands on conjure work and her stuff is the real deal that she can back up with proof. There's not many workers who can prove their credentials. When you learn hands on you'll know the difference between the real and the fakes. You'll also know how to tell the real works apart from a bunch of nonsense thrown together. This is important if you want to do work on your own. Drlovebug

Peaceful Home Conjure

As a spiritual worker I believe that everyone should always keep themselves clean and everything in order in the home. Your home is a very sacred place. The home is not only where you eat and sleep but the place where you PRAY, spend time with the family, and shed all your troubles in the world.

Most online hoodoo workers don't talk enough about spiritual cleansing which is essential if you want to get anywhere in life. Some do mention it but there's always something left out that connects the dots. One of those missing links is cleansing your home. After you cleanse yourself you've got to clean up the place where you live and run those devils out!!!

A simple way to cleanse the home is to blow a pinch of Fiery Wall of Protection powder on a big onion that you've peeled the sheds. State your petition over the onion then starting at the front door sweep that onion all over your house with a broom. Ask the Spirits to remove anything from your house that is not prosperous and holy. Go through every room in the home with that onion.

When done leave the onion at a crossroads with some change for the Spirit. Don't forget to bless your home. There are all kinds of ways to do a house cleansing. This is just another way. Even though it's simple it really works because the onion will pull away anything that's not supposed to be there. Good luck. Drlovebug

Hoodoo/ Conjure Floor Sweeps

Hoodoo/ Conjure Floor Sweeps

Growing up we had hard wood floors. I remember our house always smelled nice and it felt good. I’m using the word Floor sweep here because I think folks will understand it better, I was raised calling it “dusting”.  If you called anyone of my siblings or my children or grandchildren and asked them what was good to remove problems from the home they would all tell you coffee grounds. My daughter would tell you to sprinkle coffee grounds from back to front while praying and let it sit for a while. My brother would tell you to take the morning coffee grounds squeeze a little lemon juice into them let them dry then sprinkle them throughout the house. My mama would have added a little soda to that.

Coffee grounds will cut and clear anything that is disturbing the household. It will also get rid of any odors. Pine straw gathered in the west side of the house, then sprinkled on the floor will remove all crossed conditions placed on the house. Start from back to front early in the morning before the dew dries; leave it on the floors until the sun begins to set. Then sweep it out the door to the road. Rose Mary and soda make a good cleansing sweep. It also keeps the woman of the house in charge. My mama kept rose pedals and soda under her bed to keep peace in the bedroom. She would sweep it out of the house once a week and put fresh down.

You can place lavender and soda under your furniture in your home to ensure peace and blessings. Change it once a week placing it in the East side of your yard. Floor sweeps are old conjure remedies to keep the home running smooth. On-Line conjurers don’t know nothing about them because you can’t find them in a search engine! I would give more information on this but I am tired of folks STEALING my information and claiming it as their own to make them LOOK like an old school worker!  Momma Starr

The Holy Trinity in Conjure

The Holy Trinity is the powerhouse of conjure. Old timey and traditional conjure workers always begin their work "In the name of God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Ghost; Amen" at the beginning and end of any job. This is how old workers tie down their work so it can't be undone.

When you work with God in the Holy Trinity you are calling on God in different aspects to help you. You are claiming a power that can't be taken away from you nor stolen because it is already yours. This in itself is powerful. The origin of the Holy Trinity can be found in the Bible where Jesus stated to call on the Trinity when you pray.

You can call on the Trinity for protection, success, love, and any situation where you need divine assistance. All you need is a sincere heart and a little faith. If you want to work with tools you can use a white candle and a prayer card of the Holy Trinity. Write your petition on the prayercard then light your white candle on top of it while calling on the Trinity. State your petition to God and when the candle burns out carry the prayercard in your purse or wallet.

The Holy Trinity is very important in traditional conjure but no one is talking about it. As many of you already know there's a bunch of online hoodoos mish mashing conjure work. Some of these workers want nothing to do with God or they try to mix the Bible with who knows what. They will work with demons and all kinds of spirits on one hand but guess what?

The Holy Trinity is represented by the triangle and God's holy number is three. Three represents the Trinity. Anytime you do work in a triangle you are in some way working with the Holy Trinity. Some magicians call it the Triangle of Manifestation and I can see that because when you do your work in a triangle you are locking it down. When you do conjure in threes you are tying down the job.

Traditional workers know this little secret but many hoodoos working online aren't aware of it even though it's looking them dead in the face. This goes back to the old saying "Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater..." If you try to remove God and the Bible from conjure work then you are not doing conjure work.

Justice work

Isaiah 61:7-9 (NIV) Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs. [8] "For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them. [9] Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed."

As a traditional conjure worker I have a strong belief in justice work. A lot of folks online and internet hoodoos try to cross folks up in a hot flash.

Some of it may be justified but most of it is just plain wrong and dirty. Just because someone online doesnt like what you say doesn't mean they have a right to throw at you. These shady workers do these kinds of tricks because they feel threatened by you or think you are stepping in their territory. Well I'm sorry for you that you feel this way but I'm not here for show and tell or to prove how mighty I am. I'm content just doing my thing so why can't you be the same and tend to your own work.

I don't believe in throwing at folks and trying to hem somebody up with conjure work but as I stated before I'm a strong believer in justice work. Anytime you do justice work call on God to reign justice on all your enemies known and unknown.

I always call on the Trinity because for me God the Holy Trinity is the most powerful protection apart from covering myself with the blood of Jesus.More on that in a later post...

Call on God, state your case over a white candle, and claim justice. Light that candle over a page torn from your bible and place justice in God's hands. Justice is God's duty so let God take care of it.

All you need to do is claim it over your work and always know it is done. If you claim justice then justice is served. It may not be when you're ready because it's not time but when it comes God will tear down those walls holding you back like never before. All you need to have is faith.

With faith in your hands and justice in God's you'll be blessed and highly favored many times over. Drlovebug

Hoodoo and The Bible

I said once I put the “Working With The Bible” book out I wasn’t going to say anything else about the Bible in Hoodoo. Well I lied to myself. I can’t speak for the folks in Africa because I have never been there although I did have a lady come all the way from Africa to learn from me; she stayed the whole weekend with me. I ask her about this type of work over there and she told me that if you got caught doing this work where she is from you could be stoned by the people and even run out of town. If it is a lie she is the one that told it. Then you have all these folks on-line saying they went to Africa and learned this and that so I’m not sure who to believe. One thing I do know is that the Bible is part of Hoodoo/Conjure maybe not in what folks are calling New Orleans Hoodoo but it is in Southern Conjure.

I don’t dispute the fact that when the ancestors were stolen from Africa they were not Christian. I’m sure they weren’t; but I know my history of the South. I was raised on it. This was a whole new world to them. Different language, different food, different clothes, different houses, DIFFERENT ROOTS AND HERBS, everything in this new world of horror was different. The only thing that couldn’t be taken from them was their KNOWLEDGE! It is obvious that they held on to some of their knowledge because we still practice conjure today; but let's be honest just for a minute. Let’s go back in time and take a look at the real horror these great Ancestors who endured a brutality not many could survive.

When they were captured they were chained in the bottom of the ship, they were allowed to wash when the body odor became so bad the sailors couldn’t stand the smell any longer. My dogs are kept better than these Ancestors were. Then once they reached the Carolina’s that wasn’t much better. They were stood up on platforms and inspected the way you would cattle. They checked their teeth, privates and God only knows what else was done to them. Then they were sold. They became the property of another human and “I question that the human part”. So woo hoo we be home! If you believe that then you better go read your history books.

They had no homes, they lived in shacks. They were abused and treated less than animals; so do you REALLY believe they were allowed to keep their religion. They would have been looked at as devils or witches; if they would have lived after those Christians “I use the term lightly” got done with them. Unless you have lived in the South you really can’t comprehend how it really is. I’m talking about Georgia on up to the Carolina’s; even today in 2012 it’s a whole different world than the rest of the U.S..  I will never believe that they were allowed to have their religious ceremonies amongst their Christian owners. They were smarter than their owners gave them credit and brought Christianity into the work or hid the work inside of Christianity. Hoodoo is a lot more than what some see as spell work. There are remedies and such that go along with the work; it is a way of life. It is not only about the work. If you try to remove the Bible out of Hoodoo/Conjure then you are NOT doing Southern Conjure work. You can’t separate the two because our Ancestors hid the work in Christianity. I can’t speak for New Orleans Voodoo/Hoodoo which folks see as the same thing or that they interchange it but I stand firm about Southern Hoodoo/Conjure.

I don’t claim to know it all nor do I claim to have a bunch of PHD’s next to my name; I have something that money can’t buy! The knowledge that has been handed down through my family and my elders. So if you don’t want to include the Bible in Conjure then move your ass onto something that fits your style! Momma Starr

The Truth About The Crossroads

A crossroad is any road where two roads cross. There is a lot of magic in a crossroads, it is said that the crossroads is a place without time. One thing is for stories about the crossroads. In rural towns in the South there are a lot of folks who want be caught at the crossroads at dark; even in this day and age. Many folks grew up on stories of the Black man who owns the crossroads; some even say he is the devil. This may sound like superstition to some but folks who have grown up on these tales believe them. I have read that you don’t have to go to a real crossroads to receive a gift. That you can draw a crossroads and it will have the same power; I find this impossible to believe. I use the symbol of the crossroads on my petition papers sometimes but I will never tell you that it can replace a real crossroads in power. I think that in order to ask a favor you must go to the crossroads.

There are some that say you have to go a certain amount of times or a certain day of the week to the crossroads. I think that this is a myth. I myself have felt the power of the crossroads when I went there for help with my writing skills. It was a calm clear night; and no I did not see the man but a breeze did pick up and I saw a mist in the center of the crossroads. I went one time with my writing tools. My writing most certainly  did improve; I now have {7} books written and a card reading kit that contains a deck of cards and a booklet on how to read them. Some say it is an old wives tale but I felt the power. Powerful Conjure work can be achieved at the crossroads. I petition the keeper of the crossroads often on behalf of myself and my clients.

A simple but effective way to do this is to collect a little dirt from each corner of the crossroads. Leave three pennies on each corner as payment for the dirt. Take the dirt back to your work space. Write your petition out and burn the petition to ash. Mix the ash with the dirt from the crossroads you collected. Dress a candle and sit it in the center of you dirt. Say your prayers and state your petition. Light the candle and let it burn all the way down; Once the candle has gone out gather up the dirt and any candle that is left. To this add three pennies. Go back to the crossroads and state your petition; throw everything in the center of the crossroads. Go home and KNOW that your petition will be answered.

A Testimony to the TRUTH of Momma Starr's conjure cards

The Old Style Conjure hoodoo playing card deck is nothing like any other decks out there. I continue to be amazed by the revelations I’ve had in my consultations and work with Starr’s deck. Everything that has been predicted in those cards has come to pass in my life. Not only has Starr’s special deck had an impact in my personal work and life but also in the consultations I provide to others. For example I recently did a consultation for a client who I’ve read off and on for a few years. This time I decided to lay out their cards with the Old Style Conjure deck just to see what would happen.

As soon as I laid out those cards the SPIRIT came on me fast and took over the consultation! I was in my right mind but with the cards laid out in a spread I felt like I was looking into my client’s spirit with a mirror. It was like his life, hopes, dreams, and failures were standing right before me in those cards just like the Book of Life. I could read anything and everything going on in his world including the things he tried to HIDE from me! The last part is really important. So I told him what was going on and why he was in a hot mess because of his irresponsibility and inability to see things through. He immediately hung up the phone in my face and wouldn’t return my calls when I called back so we could finish the consultation. I was shocked because I’ve never had a client do that to me before until that moment.

Another long-time client needed a consultation done because he was in a tight bind. Now this client of mine is a chatterbox. He loves to run off with the mouth and say what he thinks but he never listens to anyone beside himself. As he was explaining his situation to me I prayed to God for clarity and laid out the Old Style Conjure playing cards before him then explained what was going on and why things were headed the way they were. He got really quiet and didn’t say a word. That’s unusual for him because he never shuts up. As I got deeper into the consultation he got nervous because I was telling him too much information that he didn’t know how to handle. He was avoiding some personal issues that put him in trouble’s way but the Old Style Conjure cards brought all those issues out in the open and I guess he wasn’t prepared to discuss them. Unlike the other client I previously mentioned I was able to finish the consultation this time even if he didn’t want me to tell the truth that in the end revealed where the fault lies…with him!

I’m telling you these experiences not to make Starr look good but because they are God’s honest truth and testify to the power and Spirit of revelation that is evident in Momma Starr’s conjure card deck. Her conjure cards really do read TRUTH that speaks in VOLUMES for whomever you are reading whether yourself, your loved ones, your coworkers, or even your enemies. I am so grateful to God for giving Momma Starr her special gifts and I am forever thankful to Starr for her decision to share some of her gifts and “secrets” in the Old Style Conjure playing card deck.

My consultations are clearer, more precise, and hit home in ways that still shock me and some of my clients. I recommend these cards to EVERYONE whether you’re a spiritual advisor, beginner, or just want to know how to read the playing cards as traditional conjure workers have always done for generations. Momma Starr is continuing that same tradition through the Old Style Conjure playing card deck. Her conjure playing cards are unique and help you DISCERN through the layers people put around themselves and situations so you can SEE the TRUTH for what it really is….like a diamond in the rough and not what some claim it to be.

I strongly encourage anyone and everyone who wants to learn how “real” conjure doctors and two-heads read folks to purchase Momma Starr’s Old Style Conjure card deck. Your Spirits and your clients will thank you for it! Dr Love Bug

Ways to Cleanse

Ways to Cleanse

There are many ways that one can use to cleanse. We are going to talk about the ways I use. I want to teach you at least one good system that you can use to cleanse yourselves with. You will have a few to choose from and I don’t care which one you choose to use just so long as you pick one and use it. As I have stated at the starting of this lesson, you must keep yourself spiritually cleansed. This is so very important. You will have to get in the habit of doing this; then it will come as second nature to you.

Some of the ways you can cleanse yourself are so easy, and they are not time consuming that it would be stupid not to use them. After all we are talking about your spiritual person here. We touched on this in the last class, but I thought it important enough to do a whole lesson on. This is the first thing you need to learn before you do any kind of conjure work. Also as I stated you need to keep yourself cleansed so you don’t have any blocks and you can have success in your life.

Just being around negative people all day can draw that type of energies to ourselves. I know and understand that we are all busy during our day; and we are tired by the time the day is through. You just have to take the time to do this. It is very important! Below you will find a few different ways to cleanse yourself. This is by no means all of them. Remember to cleanse those feet; this is very important!

 The Chicken Foot

 The chicken foot is a wonderful tool to use for cleansing. The chicken scratches up messes! So by scratching yourself lightly with the chicken foot you will be removing the negative energy from yourself. This is a simple but effective way to keep yourself clean!

The Cleansing Sprinkle

 For this you need a bottle and a sprinkler head; the kind like was used in the old days for ironing. To your bottle you add, salt, Florida water, Holy water, and fill the  rest with water from a faucet. Once you have it ready you sprinkle yourself with it while praying Psalm 23. Remember to do those feet!

 BRUSHING

A small whisk or fan the whole dried wing of a black hen or buzzard, may be used to cleanse and take off jinxes. I use a whole Turkey wing for brushing, this works well because the Turkey is known to gobble things up. To remove a crossed condition you sweep downward, while praying that the condition be removed and you be cleansed.

 Rub Down

An alcohol base is used to make a spiritual rub down. You add your herbs to the alcohol and pray over it. Then you rub yourself in a downward motion while praying.

 Cleansing by Incense

Smoke can also be used to cleanse and to remove block conditions. When I cleanse a client using this method I cover them with a white sheet and set the incense pot under the sheet.

Don’t cover your head. Once the incense has gone out I brush them down, always going in a downward motion to remove. Sulfur and be burned in the home to cleanse it.

 Candle Cleansing

You can use a black candle to cleanse away a crossed or jinxed condition. Take you candle and wipe yourself in a downward motion; while praying that the candle draw the condition off of you and remove it to the sender.

Cleansing Prayer

If you feel that you have a crossed condition then you need to read Isaiah 41 for at least three consecutive days. This pray is very powerful and will remove anything that is on you.

Look At Hoodoo

We all know what Hoodoo is; an African-American folk magic. My question is do we really understand what that means? Hoodoo was brought from Africa by a people much to KEEP Hoodoo, Conjure, Rootwork , or whatever you wish to call the work as pure as possible. When these folks were brought here against their wills they used their knowledge to protect themselves, heal themselves and their loved ones. No one taught them this they brought the knowledge with them.

These folks weren’t Christians they had their own believe system; but due to the fear of the unknown they were not allowed to practice it. In order to hold on to their heritage they incorporated Hoodoo with Christianity. Therefore the Bible became a large part of Hoodoo. What other things had to be change in order for them to hold on to their way of worship? They were brought into a whole new  different world than they were use too. Do you really understand the gift these Ancestors have given us? Does their suffering not call out to us to keep the work as pure as possible?

I claim this as my heritage and I can tell you it really bothers me what people are doing to Hoodoo. I don’t understand why folks have to change things to suit themselves. I am a traditionalist, and have been called closed minded where  Conjure work is concerned; and I agree. I am! If all this mix matching doesn’t stop; Hoodoo will go from being very powerful to just another watered down system that will die out because the work will be useless. I have been asked what makes Conjure work so powerful. I tried to answer as best I could.

 It’s a scheme of things that make this work so powerful. One you need the power of God! I feel like you must have a gift for the work. I think that it is important to have a working relationship with your Ancestors. You have to have a power within yourself; that you can push forth into the work. You need to be in balance with yourself. If you have these things going for you then you have an open channel for Spirit to reach you. The roots and herbs that are used in the work hold a power of their own. Words hold power and the Bible is full of powerful words! Between the power of God, your Ancestors, the roots and herbs, and the power of the Bible and prayer you will have total success!

 I would suggest that if you have a need to remove or add to Conjure work that you look inside yourself and see if this is really what you need to be doing. If you have adverse feelings toward God, the Bible, Christians and the Psalms then you need to move on to something else because these things make up Hoodoo. I have never been into controversy but where Hoodoo is concerned I plan on speaking my mind. If you are going to practice Hoodoo, then practice Hoodoo; don’t mix it up  with Vodou, Palo, Santeria, Wicca, and whatever else is out there.
