Galangal Root cut (Little or Low John)

Galangal Root (Alpinia galanga), also known in folk magic as Low John or Little John, is a powerful dried root used in Hoodoo, conjure, rootwork, and spiritual protection practices. Long valued as a working root for strength, luck, success, and protection, Galangal Root is often chosen for spellwork where confidence, power, and forward movement are needed.
