High John the Conqueror is the most famous root in the Hoodoo tradition, named for a folk hero who triumphed through wit and will rather than force. In conjure practice the root is the great worker of mastery, personal power, success, and luck, and it is also called on for protection and uncrossing.

As an incense, John the Conqueror is burned to take charge of a difficult situation, open blocked roads, and lend a working the conqueror's forward momentum. The incense does not act on its own; it charges the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick when you need to take command of a circumstance, back a goal with bold personal power, or open the way before important work. Hoodoo is a living African American tradition; to go deeper with High John, learn from its own teachers and practitioners.

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
3. Set your intention. As the smoke rises, name the obstacle you are breaking through or the goal you are taking command of.
4. Burn it before the moment that matters: a hearing, a negotiation, an interview, or the start of a hard piece of work.
5. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.

• High John the Conqueror Root, 1 oz: the root itself, to carry alongside the smoke.

• High John Powder Incense, 1 Lb: High John powder in a bulk size.
