"Juju is a Central West African word that means "magical power" -- and that is just what this formula represents. Containing herbs and roots popular in Africa, it symbolizes the ancestral magic strength of African sorcerers whose beliefs and practices form the core of African American hoodoo, rootwork, and conjure."
-- The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. catalogue

The labels shown here are from packages of Lucky Mojo brand African Juju Ritual Oil, crystal salts for putting in the laundry or performing a ritual floor wash, self-lighting incense powders for fumigating an area one wishes to purify, sachet powders for sprinkling on letters of sympathy and prayer, and anointing oil for dressing candles or anointing the body. Like the rest of the Lucky Mojo line, these products contain genuine herbs, roots, and herbal essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. The ingredients in Blessing formulas include Little John Root, plus other herbs and essences.
Like the rest of the Lucky Mojo line, this product contains genuine herbal essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. Lucky Mojo labels are adapted from vintage packaging and in many cases the images are as traditional as the ingredients themselves.
African Juju is one of a family of related formulas that also includes Abramelin, Master Key, Black Arts, Psychic Vision, Spirit Guide, and Indian Spirit Guide products. Each one of these old-time recipes is slightly different -- some placing emphasis on magical conjuration, others on psychic ability, spirit contacts, or mental sensitivity, or all of these combined with good fortune and luck at ritual and ceremonial workings -- but they have in common the underlying aim of enhancing the magician's internally generated spiritual forces, enabling action upon the external world.
The above formulas may, of course, be mixed and matched in any way that suits the practitioner, or may be teamed up with formulas from another line of goods, such as a financial or money luck formula like Money Drawing, or a passion and sexual love spell formula like Love Me.
How you choose to use African Juju spiritual supplies is, of course,
up to you, but one very traditional
method is to employ them in conjunction with the 23rd Psalm, while praying for all that is
desired.
PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen.

There are thousands of specific spells that employ a variety of hoodoo spiritual supplies. Here are some of the ways you can use African Juju brand spiritual supplies to attract the luck you desire.
You may perform spells for increasing magical power, strength, energy, and force of will whenever you desire. If the need is not urgent, you can take time to align your spell-casting with cosmic forces and work by a Waxing Moon Phase, so that the Moon grows bigger while you work. But don't let the Moon Phases hold you back: if the timing is not right, you can do the work whenever it is best for you.
Before dawn dissolve half the packet of African Juju Bath Crystals into a tub of hot water. Pour the water over your head 9 times as you say the 23rd Psalm and name what you want. Air-dry yourself and collect a basin of the used bath water, which now has your essence in it. Dress in fresh, clean clothes, carry the basin of bath-water to a crossroads and throw the water toward the sunrise in the East. Walk back home and don't look back.
African Juju hoodoo oil can be used as a bath oil, to dress candles for magic rites and rituals, as an additive to oil-based furniture polishes, or to wear oin your own body as a magical perfume. The genuine and authentic herbs and roots in the bottle are your assurance that this is a hand-made conjure oil and not a chemical-scented factory product.

Dust your body, your important paperwork, or your socks and shoes with African Juju Sachet Powder, or sprinkle a pinch of African Juju Sachet Powder in the four corners of the room where you plan to meet with those whom you wish to influence. Each time, say the 23rd Psalm and name what you want.
Make the African Juju Incense Powders into cones (use a twist of paper or a small candle snuffer cone, pack the incense in with your finger, and turn it out of the cone) or place it loose on a brazier. Many people find that keeping a pot of Incense smoking while they work increases their ability to break through into a spiritual space or magical way of working.
Carve your full name on a purple Offertory Candle and dress the candle with African Juju Oil. As you dress it, speak aloud your petition, such as, "With the help and grace of God, may i be strong tonight."

You may burn the candle in sections (generally 15 minutes at a time) or let it burn through to the end, no matter how long it takes. If you burn it in sections, you may fnd it a good idea to light and burn the incense each time as well.
If you want the spell to be ongoing, or want a light at home to "back you up" while you are about your business, you would be better off to use a fixed and prepared purple Glass Encased Vigil Candle. Write your petition on paper, cross it with your name written 9 times, and set the Vigil Light in a safe place, such as the sink, bath tub, or shower stall, where it will not cause any problems while you are out.
Whenever it is convenient for you, dissolve the remaining half of the bath crystals in hot water and add the liquid to the rinse water when you do your laundry, especially your underwear and stockings. When you wear these clothes, you will be "dressed" for magical power.
It is important to properly dispose of ritual remains. Because these are magic spells for good luck, you may want to keep the remains around your home. Wrap up any left-over candle wax, incense ashes, and used sachet powders in a piece of cloth. Secure and tie it with thread or string. Bury it in your back yard.
