This group is intended to be a forum for discussing Conjure, Rootwork and Hoodoo, a system of low magic that relies extensively on animal, vegetable and mineral curios, as well as a handful of other materials and techniques.
Hoodoo - not to be confused with Vodou - is not a religious system, though it does borrow elements of religious systems for use in its techniques. There is no pre-assumption of spiritual affiliation with Hoodoo, which borrows from a wealth of African, Native American (particularly those tribes found where the slave trade thrived) and European folk magic techniques.

Comment by Oakthorne on May 22, 2012 at 9:43 Hey, all. Just wanted to let folks know that I'm keeping an off-site blog on hoodoo and conjure, in connection with my Crossroads Joe's Ministrations work.
It's called Tapping the Roots. Please feel free to read long and take a gander. I update it about three times a week or so, thus far, including a Friday Reading feature where I do a reading intended for someone reading it.
Comment by Dsuyentor on May 20, 2012 at 18:32 Hi guys! I was reading through one of my spells books and I came across an unofficial Saint that I decided to do more research on and I find extremely fascinating. He's San Cipriano, patron saint for for those who have practiced the magic arts or have been victimized by the magic .. Has anyone ever heard of him before or worked with him? I'm curious if he's involved with Santeria/Hoodoo possibly?

Comment by Beorc Kano on March 16, 2012 at 13:29 So, two questions... If I were to, say, hotfoot the GM, and then perform a door/road opening ritual of some sort for him... That may make his time in this company uncomfortable, while opening up doors for him elsewhere... This would, in effect, get him out of my way, and motivate him to do so. Thoughts?
Also, he has said some things about my grandfather in the past six months that, were they to come back to my grandfather, would damage my grandfather's like of him. I was thinking adding a sprinkling of wormwood powder or a drop or two of wormwood oil to the Honeypot, for True Sight. The problem it, it's bitter smelling and tasting, and toxic. how would that apply to/affect the honeypot? Would the taste/smell of the oil offset the sweetness of the honey and sugar, or would the effects of the oil be more apparent than the sense effects?
Now, I am very unfamiliar with how to hotfoot... I've done a short bit of spot research, but could use some directional pointers. I'ma go through the articles here, see if I can come up with anything. Of course, any pointers you have would be greatly appreciated. Is there a such think as a Hotfoot jar, like a honeypot in revere, or would that simply embitter the GM towards me?
Other bits would be that I was considering, instead, dressing a white Stick candle with Wormwood, lighting it with my Master candle, and setting it between the Hotfoot spell and my grandfather's Honeypot. That way, the Wormwood oil would have it's say, bringing True Sight into the mix, without bittering the Honey Pot, and directing it towards the hotfooted GM. How does that sound?
Admittedly, I have had precious little time to study... Full time job, working over time when I can, five kids, a wife, and the attempt at NOT being a hermit... I really ever only have time for spot research... What would you suggest?
Also, should I move this into a thread or PM? I'm down with public discussion, if you are.
Comment by Oakthorne on March 16, 2012 at 12:40 Gotcha. Tripping up the GM is going to be straight-up Crossing work. If you were closer to him, I'd suggest Hot Footing him, but even that wouldn't guarantee him messing up. It'd just make him get out of your life.
For yourself, I would suggest a mojo. Use a High John for its heart, with some success, prosperity and compelling curios to aid it, and dress it in Crown of Success oil, possibly boosted with something else (like Fast Luck, High John or Road Opener oils).
For your grandfather, use a honeypot. If you want it to work a little faster, use both sugar and honey. Lay your curios in the pot, cover with sugar and then fill the rest with honey. If you want to add a little "heat" to it, add some red pepper flakes and/or gunpowder to the curios, but do be warned: sometimes that heat can get to be a little much. Use the honeypot as a base for burning purple candles dressed with Crown of Success or High John oil, and green candles dressed with a prosperity oil.
Comment by Beorc Kano on March 16, 2012 at 12:27 This is a tough decision... I'm not opposed to doing all three. Tripping up the general manager would make his position in the company fragile, and ripe for the taking. Sweetening my grandfather towards me would be good, since he has been primarily a businessman for most of my life, with ten of the last twelve years or so being separated from me. Boosting my own performance is always a plus... we all can benefit from improvement.
