Cursed With a Voodoo Doll? Here's What to Do About It.

So-called "Voodoo dolls" are the the most iconic "evil witchcraft" in pop culture. If you see those in a movie you just know a character is up to no good. A whole post about this sort of witchcraft already exists here.

This post today deals in quite another topic -- namely, what to do if you are the victim of a Voodoo doll.

With most magic spells, even if the enchantment was effective, the spell would have to be performed anew to redo its influence once the victim is uncrossed. Ways to achieve this include spirtual uncrossing baths, using a witch bottle, or multi-step curse removing rituals. But, if a practitioner is keeping a voodoo doll of their victim, the doll might easily be re-worked time and again, for as long as the practitioner has it and is interested. This makes it difficult for the victim to fully free themselves of the influence.

The answer to such a conundrum is to fight fire with fire and make your very own uncrossing voodoo doll.

This method works because just as your enemy's doll is permanent, so is your uncrossing doll that neutralizes its work.

Remedy Against Voodoo Dolls

To do this, start with a voodoo doll (homemade or store bought, doesn't matter. You can even use wax figural candles as your voodoo doll -- just don't burn it as a candle if you do this.) Bless it in accord with any of the voodoo doll consecration instructions in this post.

When it is prepared, dress the doll with Spellbreaker oil.

Then wrap the doll in white cloth, and either bury it near your house such as in your yard, putting it deep enough you won't have it come up again; or you can keep it in a safe place inside your home where no one will bother it and it won't fall into danger of discovery (everyone's life differs so one person's safe spots might differ from another's.) Once a month, pour a little more Spellbreaker oil on the ground where it's buried or on the doll itself if you're keeping it.

For added power, dress your own head daily with Spellbreaker oil. You can even pour a bit into your shampoo or whatever hairdressing you use. A very simple and traditional spellbreaker oil can be made from rue essential oil or oil that's been infused with rue.

If you want extra strong uncrossing, you can add these steps:

Bathe daily for nine days with Spellbreaker bath salts or soap. Burn Four Winds or Spellbreaker incense as you do so.

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it...

The Intranquil Spirit

(EDIT: Up to date information about the Intranquil Sprit can be found in my book The Intranquil Spirit , available on Amazon. This post has some incomplete information which is clarified in the book.) The Intranquility spell is, unfortunately, the first resort of many a rejected lover. In some ways it makes sense -- the more unhappy and forlorn one is about a breakup, the better this idea of making the other partner feel just as much so starts to sound. Unfortunately, this spell is often not well suited to a case. The purpose of the standard Intranquility spell is to have the person be tormented by the spirit until they make contact with you, or whomever the spell is being cast for. This means that if a person is already in good contact with their ex OR if they're one of those people who cannot restrain themselves from initiating contact, then this already is probably not the right spell for that case. If you've had an Intranquility spell cast and you make contac...

Spiritual Use of Turpentine in Hoodoo and Witchcraft

I have posted in the past about the use of giving one's bedding a spiritual cleansing from time to time. I recently was laundering my pillows in the same load of laundry as some turpentine-soaked rags, with the result that the pillows emerged from the wash reeking of turpentine. From a magical perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Turpentine is used in old-time hoodoo rituals for purposes such as uncrossing, protection and sometimes as a feed for mojo bags. Its solvent powers and strong odor do indeed suggest a powerful spiritual cleansing agent, and it is still used in some modern day cleaning products on a purely practical level for these same reasons. Old time medicines sometimes included turpentine as a thing to drink, in small doses. A book from the 1850s, The Domestic Medicine Chest , recommends giving it to children in a dose of one teaspoon for killing tapeworm. Relatedly, in old time hoodoo cures for "live things" turpentine might be made into a tea...

Ammonia - A Spiritual Cleansing Agent for Magick

Ammonia is a strong cleansing agent in hoodoo magick, both physically and spiritually. In Edwardian times it was advised as an old home remedy for a nerve tonic (see recipe below.) "Household ammonia" or "ammonium hydroxide" is a solution of NH3 in water. Household ammonia ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia. The Romans called the ammonium chloride deposits they collected from near the Temple of Amun (Greek Ἄμμων Ammon) in ancient Libya 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple of Amun, the chief god of ancient Thebes. Salts of ammonia have been known from very early times; thus the term Hammoniacus sal appears in the writings of Pliny, although it is not known whether the term is identical with the more modern sal-ammoniac (ammonium chloride). In the form of sal-ammoniac (nushadir) ammonia was important to the Muslim alchemists as early as the 8th century, first mentioned by the arab chemist...

Magical Water Recipes - Old Style Hoodoo, Real and Genuine Magic Spells from History

Hoodoo Style Magical Waters for Magic In hoodoo tradition, some of the oldest and most traditional ingredients are natural gathered waters. While cologne and perfume is sometimes classed as a water for conjure purposes, special waters are based on water, sometimes taken from a specific location. They can have additional ingredients added, but the magic is generally held to be in the water itself. They've become a little less common since the rise of commercial hoodoo, perhaps due to manufacturer's tendency to sell any old tap water as "alleged glory water" or whatever it's labeled; and also there is difficulty in shipping liquids like water that aren't inherent in somewhat thicker mixtures like soaps or oils. (For example, a bottle of oil won't evaporate if left out too long.) Here's a list of some traditional hoodoo magical waters and how to make them: Glory Water Glory Water is a recipe I did not include in my Conjure Cookbook , as it's not ...
