 If you have someone meddling in your affairs, talking smack about you, if you find yourself the subject... of the rumor mill, if you have a court case coming up and you don’t need some witness getting on the stand talking bad about you, or if there are coworkers spreading malicious gossip about you or a back biting friend talking out of both sides of their mouth, then this curio is perfect for you! What is it? Rarely seen anymore, but not forgotten by those of us old enough to remember, is authentic, dried, ritually prepared beef tongue. Combined with a Tapa Boca Candle and Stop Gossip Conjure Oil, you will be ready for your stop gossip and court case works! Beef tongue is a commonly used ingredient for getting people to shut their meddlesome traps. But working with a raw beef tongue is not everyone’s cup of tea and our grandmothers knew this. Furthermore, using an entire beef tongue for one work was not something poor folks could afford to do, so instead, they used dried and cured tongue instead. In New Orleans and along the bayous of the Deep South, dried beef tongue was used in a multitude of ways – in gris gris, mojo hands, powdered and used as a sachet powder, or as a stand-alone ingredient. Instead of sewing up the actual split tongue, when you use dried tongue the law of similarity is at play drying up the gossiper’s tongue so it can no longer wag. Can you imagine trying to talk with a dried-out tongue? It would be impossible! That’s why this curio is so perfect for this kind of work. Dried beef tongue may be unfamiliar to most people today, but it was something used by old timers in the Deep South with great success. Placed in a mojo bag along with slippery elm, licorice root, and chia seeds and anointed with Stop Gossip Conjure Oil will keep you protected from gossip and slander by silencing the perpetrators. A powerful Indian conjure hand uses dried beef tongue, adder’s tongue, deer’s tongue, bear root, slippery elm bark and okra along with an arrowhead. Anoint with Stop Gossip Conjure Oil and your gossiper will do just that – shut the hell up! For added punch, recite Psalm 37 while preparing your work. Combine with a Tapa Boca Candle and Stop Gossip Conjure Oil and you have a powerful stop gossip hoodoo tool! You can find Tapa Boca Candles and Stop Gossip Conjure Oil at Creole Moon. Happy conjuring! Labels: conjure, beef tongue, stop gossip, dried beef tongue, stop rumors, shut the hell up

 St Joseph's Lucky Fava Beans, aka wishing beans or mojo means. Searching for Luck When I began compiling a list of charms for good luck for an ebook for Creole Moon's Conjure Club, I came across some real doozies. Some of the lucky charms are really old practices and beliefs, and I have no explanation for why they are considered good luck. But they are interesting nonetheless. I have listed three lucky charms and a formula for Lady Luck conjure oil below for you enjoyment. Lucky Fava Bean Here’s an interesting lucky charm to help a friend get good luck for a particular circumstance. Walk around the person three times in a sunwise direction, then give him or her a fava bean on which you have inscribed the number 7. Tell them to make their wish on the fava bean and keep it with them until their wish is answered. Once it is answered, the person should pass it on to someone else in need of good luck by performing the same action - walking around the person in need of good luck and then passing on the fava bean. In that way, it keeps the positive energy flowing with a domino effect. Lucky Beef Tongue It is lucky to carry the tip of a dried beef tongue in your mojo bag. It is said to keep folks from talking smack about you. Horseshoe Talisman To make a good luck horseshoe talisman, take 9 pods of garlic, 9 sprigs of thyme and 9 sprigs of parsley and place in a small brown paper bag and wrap around the bag 9 times with red string, then tie the packet to the horseshoe and hang it over your door (adapted from Hyatt, 1978 Vol. 2). Formula for Lady Luck Conjure Oil The formula for Lady Luck conjure oil is as follows: Irish moss, cloves, cinnamon, orange and a lodestone in a base of almond oil. Use to anoint candles, ritual tools, your wallet, purse, anywhere you keep money, playing cards, dice and anything connected to playing games of chance; pour a few drops in your palms and rub your hands briskly together before gambling to sway luck in your favor. |
