Jezebel Root Pieces, 1 Lb (Pinus)

A traditional Hoodoo love and money root. Jezebel Root is worked to draw love, to gain favor with a partner, and to pull money and material support toward you. It carries one of the most specific reputations in the rootwork materia, a root reached for when the aim is to tip matters of the heart and the purse your way.

A full pound for repeated, working practice. This is a rootworker's quantity rather than a single charm's worth. A pound stocks many mojo bags and jars, dresses candle after candle, supplies a working group or students, and refills your shelf without frequent reordering.

A ritual curio for external work only. These are cut and dried root pieces meant for mojo bags, jars, dressings, and carried work, never for eating, brewing, or medicine. Decant working amounts into smaller jars and keep the rest sealed and ready.

In Hoodoo, the African American folk magic of the American South, Jezebel Root holds a particular place. It is traditionally a woman's root, named for the biblical Jezebel, and it is worked above all to command favor in love and money: drawing a lover, holding a lover's attention, gaining the upper hand in a relationship, and drawing money and support toward the worker. Where some roots simply attract, Jezebel Root is understood as a commanding root, one meant to bend a situation the worker's way.

Rootworkers carry it in mojo bags, sweeten it in honey jars to soften a person toward them, dress it with condition oils, and add it to candles burned for love and money. As with all conjure, the spoken intention matters as much as the material; you tell the root plainly what you want it to do. Hoodoo is a living tradition with its own lineages and teachers, and if it calls to you, the deepest way to learn this root is from the practitioners who carry the work.

1. Cleanse and name it. Pass the root through cleansing smoke or leave it out under the moon, then hold a piece and state plainly what you want it to draw, in love, in money, or in favor.
2. Make a mojo bag. Tuck a piece or two into a charm bag with other love or money curios, dress it with a condition oil, and carry it on you or keep it close.
3. Work a sweetening jar. Place a piece in a honey or sugar jar with your written petition to draw and soften a person toward you, feeding the jar with a candle over time.
4. Dress your candles. Set small pieces around the base of a love or money candle, or grind a little to sprinkle, to carry the root's pull into the burn.
5. Store and reuse. Keep the rest sealed in a cool, dark place, and decant working amounts into smaller jars so your bulk supply stays fresh between sessions.

• Attraction Anointing Oil, 2 Dram: dress the root or its mojo bag to push the love-drawing side of the work; oil and root together draw stronger than either alone.
• Money Drawing Green Jar Candle: burn it beside the root for the money side of a Jezebel working, tucking a few pieces around the base to carry the pull into the flame.
• Pyrite (Fool's Gold), 1 Pound: a money-drawing stone by the pound to match your root by the pound; anchor a prosperity altar with pyrite and dress it with Jezebel Root.
• Money Drawing (Ven Dinero) Wash, 8 oz: wash your hands, doorway, or register to open the way for money while the root draws it closer.
• Florida Water Cologne: cleanse the root and your hands before you begin, a simple way to clear old energy off a curio before you set it to work.
