Many hoodoo magic spells operate by way of creating physical charms like mojo bags or bottle spells. In these cases, what is one to do with the resulting magical spell device? Traditionally, the answer is to place the charms in specific locations that relate to the work. When one deposits a hoodoo spell at a house, it should be the home of the person the spell is meant to influence. So if it's a spell to draw money to yourself , you keep the charm at your own house. If your spell is to mentally influence somebody through magic , you will hide the charm someplace at their house. It is of note that the magical spell device does not necessarily need to be hidden inside the house, but it should at least be on the property of the person it is meant to influence. It is perfectly fine to conceal the charm; it need not be plainly visible. In fact, it can even be buried or hidden under the house. "But I can't get into so and so's house," you complain, "in ...

Medieval Witchcraft gives several methods for telling one's own fortune and the fortunes of friends. After all, what better way to be sure of the fortune teller's honesty than to do it yourself? Charles Godfrey Leland, one of the contributors to the collection, described in the 19th century the following cold reading statements used by scam fortune tellers and how anyone could use them: 1. It is safe in most cases with middle-aged men to declare that they have had a law-suit, or a great dispute as to property, which has given them a great deal of trouble. This must be impressively uttered. Emphasis and sinking the voice are of great assistance in fortune-telling. If the subject betray the least emotion, or admit it, promptly improve the occasion, express sympathy, and "work it up." 2. Declare that a great fortune, or something greatly to the advantage of the subject, or something which will gratify him, will soon come in his way, but that he must be kee...

If you really want to feed your hoodoo mojo hands and conjure bags the old fashioned way, then here's the stuff for you! Apparently this moonshine is so disgusting, even the clerk at the store told me not to buy it.

Figured I'd throw forth this little family recipe I just coaxed out of my grandmother. She says this is what her grandmother, who was the midwife and herbal-remedy person around La Cienega, NM , would make when anyone had a cold. Lavender (called alhusena in the local Spanish dialect) Lemon Honey Boil together into a tea. For very serious colds and flus, replace the honey with onions. (She is said to have saved a lot of people in the 1918 Flu Epidemic with her onion mixture.)

David J. Lieberman's book Get Anyone To Do Anything explains the following:    The way people gamble and how they live their lives often parallel one another. Because, really, life is a series of decisions and gambles [...] Gambler A: The Chaser Here is a typical scenario of Gambler A. He bets $10 and loses; he bets $10 again and loses; now he bets $20 and loses; $30 and loses. He increases his bets as he does worse. The gambler tries to chase his money -- trying to win it all back in one hand by betting more to make up for the times he's lost. Gambler B: A Man Divided Against Himself Will Fall Here is a typical scenario of Gambler B. He bets $10 and loses; bets $10 and loses; after some time his bet goes down to $5.00 Good plan? No, because he never feels successful. If he wins the $5.00 bet then he feels he should have bet more and if he loses then he still lost.
