Most folks in the hoodoo tradition will make use of unlined white paper that's never been used before (for instance from a small memo pad). Back in the old days, i was also instructed on more than one occasion to use paper neatly torn from an unprinted paper bag. And none of that fancy Dragon's Blood Ink or Dove's Blood Ink either -- folks in East Oakland in the 1960s told me to write all instructions, prayers, names, and wishes with a short #2 pencil that had no eraser on it (no eraser on it because that could indicate that you might go back on your wish). > ... Five Finger Grass ... how to use it, or if you could > send me spells that i could perform with it. Five Finger Grass is a general good luck herb popular for those activities involving the use of the hands (e.g. gambling). Find mention of it and descriptions of how to use it at http://www.luckymojo.com/powwows.html > ...anything similar that I could use that could take > the place of Black Arts Oil? If you could you tell me > which one.... There are many recipes for Black Arts Oil. Here's a quick one: half a dropper essential oil of patchouli half a dropper essential oil of black pepper a pinch of valerian root a pinch of black poodle dog hair a pinch of black mustard seeds a pinch of spanish moss a pinch of powdered sulphur nine whole black peppercorns Blend into one half-ounce carrier oil such as almond. Colour dark brown.
