Herbs, Roots & Flowers

High John the Conqueror Root, Ipomoea jalapa, is one of the best-known roots in African American Hoodoo and conjure. It is worked for strength, courage, luck, success, and getting the upper hand when the odds are against you.

Carry the root as a pocket piece, keep it in a mojo bag, or work it into a charm for money drawing, gambling luck, court cases, competition, and overcoming obstacles. High John is also tied to the folk figure John the Conqueror, whose wit, survival, and resistance speak to the root’s place in work for victory and endurance.

Each bag contains one large High John root, approximately 1–2 inches long.

Common Hoodoo and conjure uses:

• Strength, courage, and confidence
• Success and victory over obstacles
• Money drawing and gambling luck
• Court case and competition work
• Protection and personal power
• Mojo bags, charms, and rootwork

Correspondences: Strength, luck, success, courage, victory, power, and resilience.
