Devil's Shoestring - cut

Devil’s Shoestring is a root used in Hoodoo, rootwork, and conjure for protection, guarding good luck, and keeping an enemy’s interference from taking hold. Its name refers to the idea of tripping up trouble, not inviting it in.

These cut root pieces can be added to a mojo bag or protection charm when you want to keep your business private, guard against ill will, or carry protection while travelling. The cut form is useful for small charm bags and prepared spell packets.

Traditional magical uses

• Protection: Used in charms and spells against crossed conditions, gossip, and an enemy’s interference.
• Guarding luck: Carried to keep misfortune from following you and to protect favourable circumstances.
• Travel protection: Included in a pocket charm or mojo bag when travelling or heading into difficult situations.
• Doorway warding: Placed in a protection charm near an entrance to symbolically keep trouble outside.

Ways to use it

Add a few cut pieces to a mojo bag with a folded petition paper stating what you wish to protect. Carry the bag in your pocket or purse, or keep a prepared protection packet near your doorway. These are traditional spiritual uses, not guarantees of an outcome.
