- Add a pinch of dirt from sacred sites as you visit them.
Gather the following and place in a conjure bag:
Sand from the beach
Dirt from a mountain
Dirt from a cemetery
Dirt from a crossroads
A cat’s claw herb (uno de gato)
Seashell
Pebble from a crossroads
Nail or pebble found on or beside train tracks
These combined materials bestow the powers of the elements. Only pinches of sand and dirt are needed. Place the initial bag within a second, stronger one to prevent the dirt from spilling out and escaping.
Mojo bags are created and carried to enhance and maintain psychic power.
