Some of the most effective rootwork you can work is deceptively simple (and generally doesn't produce drool-worthy photos for your IG posts that anybody is gonna aim a sexy hashtag at). But some of y'all keep asking for spells and getting upset when I tell you to set a light or take a bath. Y'all wanting some shit to chant and something witchy-looking i guess. Thing is, most of this can really be boiled down to a couple of simple principles that apply in a majority of situations: Wash your house. Wash your ass. Pray. The most powerful hoodoo back in the day was performed by folks who spent more time scrubbing their floors than they did curating a crystal collection or worrying about whether the moon was void of course.

Chicken foot charm aesthetics pt 3/3: The pink foot is a third type of chicken foot charm, and I learned to make this style in the early 2000s around Baton Rouge. The hot pink feet are a thing in that region for reasons I admit I don't fully understand, but I know they are related to Mardi Gras and are stand-ins for, or references to, flamingos. For real, Louisiana does things its own damned way, y'all 😆 #rootworkersofinstagram #conjureart #chickenfoot #mardigras #courirdemardigras #haphazardstation #seraphinstation #bigluckyhoodoo #karmazain #swampconjure #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #materiamagica #folkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJavtKOEg8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicken foot charm aesthetics pt. 2/3: These are examples of more New Orleans-style chicken foot charms. I'd say this is the style people usually picture when the topic comes up. These focus largely on "scratching up" and reversing tricks laid for you (and maybe sending along a little lagniappe by way of the spur for good measure). . . #chickenfoot #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #seraphinstation #haphazardstation #rootworkersofinstagram #swampconjure #folkmagic #amulet #apotropaic #materiamagica #southernhoodoo #bigluckyhoodoo #karmazain #rootwork #conjureart https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFiNH3O635/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yaupon holly berries (ilex vomitoria). A native plant that is a source of free caffeine. The tea is tasty despite the unfortunate Latin name. . #bayouhoodooherbal #foraging #haphazardstation #seraphinstation #bigluckyhoodoo #karmazain https://www.instagram.com/p/CnX5Ogwrd1E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Attempt number one at making candied spiderwort flowers was a total fail. That's what I get for being lazy. (I know what I did wrong.) On the plus side, it's pretty obvious they will work as an ink or dye (though how fugitive that blue will be I can't yet tell you). Don't let my unsightly kitchen disaster turn you off of spiderwort, though. Both Tradescantia ohiensis and T. virginiana are native and fairly common in the Eastern U.S. They are also edible. Around here, they are used to draw love and blessings to the home, and while the cut flowers don't last long at all, you can float the ephemeral blossoms in a bowl of water, to which they'll gradually impart their gorgeous blue hue. Keep the bowl of blossoms by your front entrance or where guests are gathered to ward off jealousy and the evil eye, or use the water in a spiritual bath to cool, calm, and draw blessings. #spiderwort #bluejacket #tradescantia #tradescantiaohiensis #tradescantiavirginiana #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #seraphinstation #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #foraging #rootworkersofinstagram #spiritualbaths #craftingfail https://www.instagram.com/p/CprYfHkuKuT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fleabane. This is Erigeron philadelphicus, one of those ubiquitous "weeds" that widely ignored when not being mowed, pulled up, or poisoned by lawn owners all over North America. I don't think it's actually much use against fleas, but I've heard it is genuinely useful against mites, so I might try some in the chicken coop at Seraphin Station this year. It's got a host of medicinal uses, especially for coughs, colds, and minor wounds, though it probably shouldn't be used by pregnant women. Spiritually, use it to ward off pests and pestiferous entities. Definitely don't use it for goals related to love or sex, even if you see some sources attributing it to Venus (which i think is kind of a weird association - I am not feeling that connection). It's supposedly edible but I have no experience with consuming it. #erigeronphiladelphicus #fleabane #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #seraphinstation #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #foraging #philadelphiafleabane https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiCLs6Ov-3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In case you've been wondering why your order, report, or reply is taking so long, let me give ya a status update. I've been in the process of moving basically half my stuff to Haphazard Station in Louisiana, which will be my home base for part of the year as I work on the Bayou Hoodoo Herbal. I've been trying to get this set up for a good while now, but my car broke down on my last trip in November and screwed up everything, leaving me with inventory, raw materials, paperwork, and possessions spread out across three states. The car was toast. Things have been pretty chaotic. I finally made it back to Haphazard, but since I'm basically hitchhiking to get from one place to the other these days, I rushed out the door to catch a ride with a pretty flawed packing list and ended up in rural Louisiana without some pretty important things, among them some of the more important herbs and roots I have to have to do my work and fill your orders. (Yep, this genius rootworker walked out the door without John the Conqueror root - you know, only one of the *most important roots in Southern hoodoo* 🙄 ) I finally have the majority of that stuff back on my shelves, shipped to me from Seraphin Station or ordered or located locally, so order processing will be going more quickly now. Unfortunately I still don't have reliable internet here, even after having lost most of a workweek to the pursuit, but hopefully the fourth time will be the charm for AT&T techs! #seraphinstation #haphazardstation #bigluckyhoodoo #karmazain https://www.instagram.com/p/Cncb4XqrVjn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lots of hidden denizens at Haphazard Station. This one is practically underneath a building and mostly obscured by a tree. . . #haphazardstation #seraphinstation #karmazain #swamplife #bayouliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIvcfwLlf5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
