Hello Everyone!
Omikemi here bringing you an Apotropaic Charm, a charm to ward off bad luck and the evil eye.
This spell was taken and then adapted by me, from Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic by Cathrine Yronwode. Spell Components are as follows: 1 single small piece of licorice root(domination of situation; to empower the mojo hand), pinch of rue(purifying), pinch of hyssop(cleansing), 3 anise seeds, personal concern(I use my own saliva quite often in my workings), small square of black felt or any cloth(to mask the intentions of the work + negate energy), and hemp cord(to tie up the work).
I energetically place intentions and prescribe jobs to each of the herbs or curios for this workings and then I grab the corners of the felt and bring them together. Using the hemp cord, I bind the mojo hand together 8 times( for me this number presents justice through a Yoruba lens) and knot it 8 times as well. If you plan on keeping this hand charged, feed it either magnetic sand, money, song, breathe, tobacco smoke, special oils blends, or all of the above. I have also added a few other special things to the inside of this mojo such as tiny handcuffs, a golden star or badge, a small piece of paper with a name of job description listed on it (i.e. POLICE) and folded away from myself. These were added to give clear intention to the mojo which energies I would like to avoid coming into contact with. These objects can also be swapped out and arranged as you personally see fit.
Blessings everyone,
Omi the Waterbearer
