Body Effluvia And Detritus Conjuration

In Africa and throughout the world, many cultures ritualistically use body fluids and any other biological matters in their workings, including the blood, amniotic sac, and umbilical cord of a baby, saliva, semen, menstrual blood, vaginal fluid, sweat, urine, feces, head hair, facial hair, pubic hair, and nail clippings.

Hoodoo practitioners adapted this practice from their Kongo ancestors. Biological matters, called "mfumya" in the Kongo language, are traditionally used to construct their fetishes. Hair or nail clippings of a living person could be attached to an "nkisi" to provide spiritual protection. The saliva or shreds of garment belonging to the parties petitioning or making an oath or agreement with the spirit within the nkisi might also be added to oblige them to honor the contract; otherwise, the nkisi would punish the violators. When investigating crimes, body effluvia and detritus of the victims or suspects could be attached to some minkisi to know the truth and seek justice.

Other tricks such as concealing someone's feces or excrement in a tree and placing names, fingernails, and other materials that represent a person in packets and bottles that are then thrown in running water, buried in graves, and turned upside down to cause disease or even death are very similar to some forms of Kongo witchcraft.


This most well-known fidelity trick gives women dominance, makes their man a faithful husband, and strengthens blood ties. This spell requires the wife to steal the dirty underwear of her spouse, tie it with red strings dressed with menstrual blood, and uses herbal curios with spicy scent to ensure her mate knows "home is where the heart is." This is a form of 'tying nature' to limit or negate the man's ability to commit adultery.


Even so, using these particular body effluvia and detritus in spell-casting can be problematic for those unfamiliar with the more significant history of African-American folk magic. Still, Hoodoo practitioners know and understand that these biological matters are the most powerful tools in magic. According to conjure thought, the very life principle is contained in them, especially in blood and semen. These items have the elixir of being. We consider them the miraculous ingredients that make our magic more alive and more interactive with the spiritual world, and so it is given special attention in Hoodoo spell-casting. They are dashed on, rubbed on, speckled on, or sprinkled on the other curios and tools, especially when performing sympathetic magic through making dolls, poppets, and other effigies, as they serve as magical links. We believe all that dashing, rubbing, speckling, and sprinkling, though disgusting to think about for most mundane people and even for some practitioners who belong to other spiritual or magical paths, is actually an attempt to break open the biological matters and release the life principle. Just as we rub a sprig of mint to release a fragrance, so too do we rub and dash them to express our desire to connect that life principle with our magic.

Here are the biological concerns one can get and use in conjuration. In descending order of strength, according to Hoodoo folk magic:

  • Blood - the use of blood in magic is emotionally powerful. Blood represents life, and Hoodoo teaches us that life is sacred. This body fluid is usually utilized to sanctify personal amulets and talismans and to increase the potency of spells and rituals, most especially love-related.
  • Menstrual blood and vaginal secretions - bodily fluids such as these served in a man's drink, or food are a powerfully excellent recipe to get his sexual attention. No ritual or prayer is necessary; you simply insinuate a bit of them into his food or drink, and your scent will steep into the man's heart and soul. Contrariwise, if a man wants to get rid of his wife, putting her soiled napkins or sanitary pads in a hole in a tree can make his wife leave him. Also, if another woman is after your husband, you can get her soiled napkins or any fabric with her menstrual stain, then throw it in the running water so that when the stain fades, she will fade out of his mind too. 
  • Semen - men can make use of their sexual fluids in love magic. Like the application of female sexual fluids in pheromone magic, men can add them to their edibles. Women also capture men's semen to dominate or keep them faithful. The most popular way to do this in conjure tradition is through fixing what practitioners call nation sack or through a binding spell.
  • Urine (Chamber lye) - one of the oldest Hoodoo traditions is for a male gambler to have his wife or female lover urinate on his gambling mojo hand while at play to draw in all the winnings. Please note that female urine is only considered lucky in this case due to the 'copulins' suspended in vaginal fluids, which are basically attractants for males. To cure male impotence as a result of spiritual malady or malefic magic, a man can use his own urination by prayerfully peeing on a magically fixed large knife blade  ("bolo" or "itak") and letting the pee run into a red ants nest or a running river. A woman can also take her first urine on Monday morning, put it in a mason jar, and place it under the bed for nine days to hold her husband. Some people also 'mark' their place as their territory by washing the doorstep with their own urine in a bucket of water, and when it dries, they sprinkle red brick dust across the doorstep. 

(All these biological concerns can be used to feed the mojo hands and other talismans, amulets, and taglocks in dolls and poppets.)

These biological matters can be substitutes for the fluids mentioned above or used too, mainly when feeding mojo hands, as taglock in magic dolls, and personal concerns in container-spells (bottle, lamp, mirror-box spells).

  • Saliva - Christ used his own saliva in the eyes of the blind to heal them and restore their sight, so when people have afflictions caused by the evil eye, gifted spiritual workers gently place their fingers with their saliva on the arm, foot, stomach, or any particular part of the body to remove their distress or illness. In the Philippines, "balis" or "usog" is treated similarly. Old conjure workers told women to spit on the man's back if they wanted him to return as he was leaving the door. To bring bad luck to a house or an establishment, chew a piece of gum while cursing under your breath and lay the chewed gum (with your spit) around. Spitting three times is a good antidote for the evil eye.
  • Feces - some folks throw their own feces in their enemies' yards to bring bad luck to them. People counteract it by shoveling it up, putting turpentine on it, and burning it to make their ass burn forever. 

Handkerchiefs used to wipe sweat were utilized in protective magic.


  • Sweat - this could be acquired from any previously worn and unwashed article of clothing which belongs to the individual, handkerchief, towel, etc.

  • Hair (head, facial, armpit, pubic) - tying a man's pubic or head hair together in one's left shoe is said to make the man crazy about her. Putting one's hair in one's empty pocket for two days is said to give the person a headache. To make your man change his attitude for good, take a strand of hair out of his head and necktie, put them in a bottle, and throw them in the river. If a woman wants his man to think of her constantly, she can put a lock of her hair in his hat or cap and make him wear it. 
  • Nail clippings - putting toenails into a drink would get your target under your feet, while fingernail filings would get you to hold them. 
  • Teeth -  practitioners use one's foe's tooth/teeth when they wish to rend or obtain things through forcible means by conjuring the enemy to lose his teeth, eloquence, or speech. 
  • The umbilical cord, placenta, or amniotic sac - some practitioners use them to create charms for the protection of newborn babies, including skeleton keys, blue-eyed beads ("nazar"), and mirrors wrapped in white cloth and attached or else displayed near the cradle. Other workers plant babies' placentae with angelica flowers to give protection and attract good fortune to the child. 

Even though using body effluvia and detritus is one of the most critical elements of Hoodoo, it is most odious to some magic practitioners. By nature, no one wants to contemplate anything as ghastly as blood or sexual fluids. No one wants to dwell on morbid thoughts like wounds or excretion. No wonder, then, if you ask most modern magic practitioners, "Do you use blood, urine, or semen in your magic or spiritual works?" they will respond, "This is the 20th century. We don't need those things. We perform our magic in a more civilized way". Thoughts of bodily fluids are not well received in today's society as they could never understand how anyone could use them in 'spiritual works.' To them, the symbolism of sexual fluid is as beautiful as carnal desires. On the other hand, urine, feces, saliva, and sweat represent filth and disease. There is nothing 'spiritual' about these curios unless one has a perverted mind.

Yet, believe it or not, Hoodoo practitioners can make them as spiritual items through God, who produced creation from nothing, and can also produce beauty from ugliness or filthiness. From the decaying carcass of a lion, God produced honey (Judges 14:8). From a marriage founded on duplicity and adultery, God raised King Solomon (II Samuel 12:24). From the gore of blood sacrifices, God established a relationship with His people. From the horror of crucifixion, God brings forth salvation.

How to take off a sorcerous body fluid conjuration?

There are really some unscrupulous people who put other people under spells through body fluid conjuration. In the Philippines, we call this "gayuma." Spiritual workers can stop this kind of manipulative magic by employing:

  • Love-trick Killing or Uncrossing - an essential ritual for this is to start by lighting a black and red double action candle and prayerfully anointing yourself with Blessing Oil, then incensing yourself with lavender flowers invoking blessing and healing into your life. Then get a photo of the one who tricked you. Dab, some Uncrossing oil and Cut and Clear oil on the picture, saying, "I severe my ties with you and release me from your harmful grip. You no longer hold any power over me, nor does any connection exist between us any longer." Put a pinch of blessed salt and red pepper flakes on the photo to gently cleanse their negative influence out of your life. After that, you may do an egg cleansing to lift off any manipulative weight from your mind and heart. When you're done, use a knife dressed with your sexual fluid (use the similar biological curio your ex-lover had used against you), cut a lemon in half, and as you prayerfully state your intention to remove the sourness out of your romantic and sexual life forever. Now squeeze the lemon juice out of the fruit onto your half-naked body (be careful of your eyes) and into the photo of the one who tricked you. Last, take a picture of your ex-lover and throw them into a river that runs out of town; as the water in that river flows out of your town, so shall that person and his nasty trick flow out of your life.
  • Purification - performed by washing yourself in a bath of 13-herb or blend of nettle, rue, hyssop, rose petals, and lavenders, smudging yourself with white sage, and then dressing your body with Van Van Oil.
  • Reversing - you can capture some of your ex-lover's sexual fluid and put it inside a bottle with 9 pins, 9 needles, and 9 rusty nails, then hide the bottle in a hollow tree where your ex-lover will never find it. This would give him or her sexual or reproductive problems and force him or her to leave you alone in peace.

See, What Our Path Is

Being immensely interested in African diaspora religions and Folk Catholicism, we primarily honor our ancestors, Church saints, angels, folk saints, and Afro-Caribbean spirits such as loas and orishas. If we absolutely have to put a label on ourselves, we prefer the label of “Folk Judeo-Christian” as we live according to the customs and traditions of conjure workers and root doctors from the Deep South and syncretic followers of Christ in various nations of the Caribbean and Latin America.

Our spirituality includes West African-based Caribbean-style tradition as well as Esoteric Christianity and Yoruba religion. Generally, we practice Gullah folk magic popularly known in the Deep South as Hoodoo or Lowcountry Voodoo; the ancient wisdom founded by Orunmila in Ile-Ife called Ifa, and a bit of Lihim na Karunungan (Filipino Esotericism or Philippine Mystery Tradition).

Respect, What Hoodoo Is

Despite visible evidence of Central West African, Islamic/Moorish, Native American, Judeo-Christian, European, and even a few East Indian/Hindu, Chinese, and Latino/Caribbean retentions, influences, and admixtures, this does not mean that Hoodoo is an open and unrestricted system of eclectic magic.

Conjure, and Rootwork is rooted in African-American culture and Folk Protestant Christianity. Any practitioners of Hoodoo who did not grow up within African-American culture should still have a fuller understanding and high regard for its origin.

In the beginning, the early conjure doctors were entirely Black. The students were all Black, the elders were Black, the teaching was Black, and they focused only on Blacks as their audience. But other races were accepted when they had also been brought into the Hoodoo community and learned the tradition. Even so, we should still acknowledge that Hoodoo, Conjure, or Rootwork is not ours but only belongs to the Black community. We are just believers who are grafted into their rich yet humble tradition and, by word and deed, embrace genuine African-American folk spirituality and magic. This is all we can do for all the blessings we received from God and our Black ancestors.

Hoodoo's lack of religious structure and hierarchical authority do not mean that any person or group can appropriate or redefine it. If one cannot respect Hoodoo as it is and for what it is, then please, do not play with it.



Learn, How Conjure Is Worked On

Authentic Conjure is not all about blending and selling oils and casting spells online to make money. Hoodoo has its own spiritual philosophy, theology, and a wide range of African-American folkways, customs, and practices which include, but are not limited to, veneration of the ancestors, Holy Ghost shouting, snake reverence, spirit possession, graveyard conjure, nkisi practices, Black hermeneutics, African-American church traditions, the ring shout, the Kongo cosmogram, ritual water immersions, crossroads magic, making conjure canes, animal sacrifices, Jewish scriptural magic, enemy works, Seekin' ritual, magical incorporation of bodily fluids, etc.

Unfortunately, they are currently missing in marketeered or commercial Hoodoo, as they are being removed, disregarded, or ignored by unknowing merchants who simply want to profit from an African-American spiritual tradition, thus reducing Hoodoo to just a plethora of recipes, spells, and tricks.

Tim and I are completely aware that we are not African-Americans, so we are doing our best to retain and preserve the customs and traditions of the slave ancestors to avoid unnecessary conflict with the larger Black-Belt Hoodoo community and prevent them from labeling us inauthentic outsiders and our practice as mere 'cultural misappropriation.'

Accept, Who We Are

The byproduct of eons of slave history, Black supremacists believe that only people with African or African-American blood are real Hoodoo practitioners and are often inclined to consider themselves as the elite of the Hoodoo community; a place in which they believed that Whites, Latinos, Asians or any other races who do not have Black ancestry do not belong. Black supremacists are prone to be very hostile towards both “outsiders” and those accepting of them, fearing that their promotion and acceptance would dilute or even negate the Black identity of Hoodoo.

Although we do understand why some Blacks hold this stance, since a lot of people nowadays are misappropriating many aspects of Hoodoo and teaching the spiritual path even without proper education and training (for purely monetary purposes), we would, however, want to say that not all non-Black Hoodoo practitioners are the same.

WE respect what Hoodoo is, and we never try to change it, claim it as our own, disregard its history, take unfair advantage of it, speak against the people who preserve it, and mix it with other cultures (like our own) and call it Filipino/Pinoy Hoodoo, Gypsy Hoodoo or Wiccan Hoodoo because there are no such things.
