The root of the word jinx stems from the wryneck bird, a crafty little creature who spins its neck nearly 180 degrees and hisses like a snake.  No matter which way its prey goes it manages to follow, keeping its gaze fixed on its goal.  Whether a malediction from an outside influence or a negative self fulfilling prophesy, a hex can be hard to shake.     Change bad luck to good with the Jinx Removing Spell Caster Club Card.     A hex or jinx acts as an attractant for bad luck and accumulates negative energy around the afflicted.  Carrying a cloud of curses can upset the most stable and balanced; throwing off all attempts at progress.     The Witches Union Jinx Removing Spell uses everyday objects and Coventry Creations candles and oils to allow you to change your luck and remove negative influences.  Crafted by our resident enchantress,...

Candle magic, known as setting lights in hoodoo, is one of the traditions that has been widely adopted by the larger magical community.  Rootworkers often have a special altar where they burn candles for petitioners.  As wild and adaptable as hoodoo magic is there are some consistencies among its practitioners.     The importance of color in hoodoo candle magic cannot be stressed enough.  Change the color and you change the energy of the spell.  For instance, the color blue is associated with road opening, increased mental processes, and creativity.  Our Motor City Hoo Doo Helping Hand Candle reflects this in its bright blue color, oil blend, and spell work to assemble a call for assistance from beyond to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.     Some colors seem quite obvious at first but quickly reveal their complexity.  Black can be used to clear or cause evil, provide protection, or offer increased...

There are some common misconceptions about hoodoo.  Some assume that it is all hexes and curses; that there is a ruthlessness to the magic.   It’s practitioners have long been misconstrued and branded it as unethical.  The truth is more complex and a lot less frightening than some think.     Hoodoo is a strong and powerful magical system and let’s face it, it had to be.  Hoodoo traveled across the world on the backs of a people enslaved.  Fierceness and direct action are necessary when you are robbed of freedom and in constant peril.  Hoodoo does encourage ethical practices.  They consult with spirit guides, their ancestors, and do divinations to see what is the right course of action.     Hoodoo came largely from the Congo regions of Africa, further south than the original home of voodoo.  Voodoo is a more ritualized, deity based religion while hoodoo is more fluid.  The...

When your energy is bedazzled with ick, you can sure feel it. It’ll give you headaches, make you cranky, tired and oh so blue.  Where does this stuff come from?  It’s sourced in other people and can also come bubbling up from your own secret closet deep in your unconscious.  A lot of it is from emotional dumping and your emotional reactions. It is also from negative thinking, negative language and the stink eye aka a psychic attack.
