Powder Recipes

Here are a few powder recipes that I've found so far (from books.) 

 

Algier’s Powder
Used to attract love by dusting the body or gris gris.
• Patchouli
• Orris root
• Vanilla Oil
Grind herbs and add to a base of rice flour or corn starch. Mix in a few
drops of Vanilla oil.

 

Algier’s Fast Luck Powder
This powder is used when you need luck in a hurry.
• Wintergreen oil
• Patchouli
• Cinnamon
Grind herbs and add to a base of rice flour or corn starch. Mix in a few
drops of Wintergreen oil.

 

Aunt Sally’s Dream Powder
Make some of this to have prophetic dreams. Sprinkle on your sheets
before going to bed.
• Licorice
• Cinnamon
• Cardimon
• Coriander
Grind herbs and add to a base of rice flour or corn starch.

 

Blessings Powder
• Lavender
• Jasmine
• Sandalwood
• Magnetic sand
Grind herbs, add magnetic sand, and add to a base of rice flour or corn
starch.

 

Controlling Powder
Corn starch, saltpeter, Epsom salts

 

Drawing Powder
• Corn meal
• Magnetic sand
• Confectioner’s sugar
Add to a base of rice flour or corn starch.

 

Goofer Dust
Goofer Dust is a very old African-American hoodoo blend used to
cause serious trouble, harm, or kill an enemy. There are a number of recipes,
no doubt reflecting the intent of the conjuror. Goofer dust can also be used
for its protective properties if you add the right ingredients to it. You should
not use goofer dust; I have included it here for its folkloric value.
Basic goofer dust contains:
• Graveyard dirt
• Black salt
• Ground sulfur
• Snake skin
• Magnetic sand
• Dried pigeon shit
To this basic blend, one would add particular items to enhance its effects,
such as ground insects, powdered bones, or black pepper.

 

Graveyard Dust
Graveyard dirt gathered from nine separate graveyards, with one
from a child’s grave for good works, or one or more from a criminal’s grave
for bad works.
Hot Foot Powder
• Chili powder
• Red pepper
• Black pepper
• Sulfur
Mix in a base of rice flour or corn starch.

 

Jinx Removing Powder
• Mint
• Wintergreen
• Chamomile
Grind herbs and add to a base of rice flour or corn starch.

 

Money Drawing Powder
• Cedar
• Patchouli
• Galangal
• Ginger
Grind herbs and add to a base of rice flour or corn starch.

Is there a specific proportion for base and herbs, or is 50/50 alright?

Would powdered Arrowroot be an acceptable substitute for the base?

Rachel, I am sure it would to acceptable to use arrowroot, which is more like talcum than corn starch or roce flour.  I think that rice flour and corn starch are recommended because they are a more common commodity. :)

I was wondering, what do you keep the powders in? a plastic baggie like to put charms in with a zip thingie? or a sachet?

I like to keep my powders in a spice shaker, since, after all most powders are to be dusted or sprinkled.

The spice shakers I use are from an old spice rack set and the left over spices were stale, I then emptied the bottles out to reuse for my powders.

Hmmmm, that gives me an idea to start grabbing those random, salt & pepper shakers that I see at the thrift store.........and giving them a nice cleansing & spiritual bath for future use. ;)
