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.

This one decided it wanted to be a sort of "stay under the radar, dodge sketchy shit, and deflect bad eggs, bad eyes, and bad juju" sort of charm. Which is hilarious considering that this is one of the least subtle/discreet/blending-in pieces I've made in a while. Well, we'll see once I get the final bones in place. Maybe it'll be stealthy enough to go unnoticed if you're wearing, er, a thick sweater 🥴 #seraphinstation #conjureartist #spiritualjewelry #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #hoodoorosary #rootwork #rootworkersofinstagram #blackcatbones #esoterichandmade #bayouhoodoo #devilsshoestring #coyotebone #malojo #apotropaic #witchy #talisman #goodluckcharm #amulet #lawkeepaway #roadopener #reclaimed https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPRRAbSX-A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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=
