Make Sure You Are Super Protected, Try Some Gris-Gris Protection
The term gris-gris derives from West Africa. Now frequently used as just another synonym for conjure, charm or mojo bags. Gris-gris originally indicated what the Portuguese called fetishes: handmade magickal objects. The original West African gris-gris often took the form of dolls, modern New Orleans gris-gris are often across between a mojo bag vodou paquets-congo, although doll-shaped gris-gris still exist.
For those who care about magical semantics, subtle, subliminal distinctions exist, however, mojo derived from on African word, usually implies magically acquiring success, whether in love, gambling, money, employment, or legal matters. Gris-gris implies protection; the gris-gris thus tends to cover the spectrum between benign protective spells and hexes.
1. Traditional New Orleans Voodou bag contains an odd number of charged items, from as few as a single prized talisman to as many as 13.
2. Gris-gris serves a specific purpose. Consider your goal( s) and choose items carefully and accordingly. Items may include botanicals, stones, bones, and intimate items including hair, nail, clippings, or a scrap of fabric soaked with sweat.
3. Charge items on an altar with all four elements represented. Petition and dedication to Lwa or other spirits may be incorporated.
