Indian Spirit Hoodoo
Native American influences
play a large part in New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo,
particularly among spiritualist circles. The famous war
chief Black Hawk, for example, is considered a saint in New
Orleans. Indian Spirit spiritual products reflect this
important influence.

I am happy
to offer you Voodoo Mama's signature
line of Indian Spirit Hoodoo Spiritual
products. The ingredients are gathered
according to proper Native American
protocol as I was taught by many
teachers over the years. Like Mam'zelle
Laveaux, I am Creole of Native American
ancestry; Cherokee on my mother's side
of the Bird Clan and Aztec on my
father's side, descending from one of
the seven original Aztec tribes of
Tlaxcala, and direct descendent of King Xicontencotl el Viejo. Pedro de
Alvarado, the Spanish conquistador who
is also my ancestor, married the
daughter of King Xicotencatl el Viejo
and had the first mixed blood children
in the Americas. This is my lineage,
traced back to the 1400s.

Apache
Tears Good Luck Stone
Apache tears are a form
of black volcanic glass (obsidian) that are round in
appearance with diameter from about 0.5 to 5 cm.
An Apache tear looks
opaque by reflected light, but
translucent when held up to the light. Apache tears are usually black, but can range from
black to red to brown.
The name "Apache tear" comes
from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the
US Cavalry fought on a mountain overlooking what is now
Superior, Arizona in the 1870s. Facing defeat, the
outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the
mountain to their deaths rather than be killed. The wives
and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the
tragedy; their tears turned into stone on hitting the
ground.
Apache tears have several
positive qualities. They are known for bringing good luck to
those who carry them and they bring good luck in business
endeavors. In addition, they are good for spiritual
grounding and psychic protection. they have strong
vibrational energies that allow them to absorb negativity
and cleanse sacred space.
It is said that whoever owns
an Apache Tear Drop will never have to cry again, because the
Apache Women have grieved and shed their tears for you.
Therefore, they are often used for emotional grounding when
a person is experiencing grief and emotional distress.
Because of their superior
absorption properties, they need to be cleansed
periodically. To do this, simply smudge them with sage and
leave in the light of a full moon for an evening.
Apache tears are the
Scorpio's birthstone.

Voodoo Mama's Cedar Smudge Wands
In the
Native American tradition, cedar is used to carry prayers to the creator. It
is used to bridge the gap between heaven and earth. It also seems that the cedar
tree has connections with power and the sun through many varying traditions such
as Sumerian legend, Cabalistic lore and Egyptian mythology. It is often
associated with breaking the misuse of power or powerful forces that may be
having a negative influence.
Cedar is often used in the sweat lodge ceremony. A few pinches are thrown on
the red-hot rocks, immediately sparking into a yellow glow and releasing their
aroma. The smoke of burning cedar is said to attract the good spirits and
eliminate negative energies.
These cedar wands are consecrated on our altar to Blackhawk, the famous Native
American War Chief who is highly revered among hoodoos and Spiritualists.

Lightening
Struck Wood
Lightening struck wood is a powerful curio within Hoodoo and Native American
traditions. It is typically hard to come by, but I am fortunate in that we live
in the High Desert and on the side of a mountain. When the monsoons come, the
lightening is abundant and you can see it strike the trees at the top of the
mountains. We have ready access to the trees that are lightening struck, and go
and harvest some of the wood and offer it for sale here on this site.
The temperature of lightening is around 30,000 degrees C or six times as hot as
the surface of the Sun. It is believed that sap is one reason trees are common
targets for lightening because sap is a better conductor of electricity than
air. When lightening strikes a tree, the energy is discharged through the tree
turning the sap into steam, which causes the bark to split apart.
Trees that are struck by lightening are not always burned and do not always
catch on fire.
Lightening struck wood can be added to any work to increase its power. It is
particularly good for commanding spells, sex spells, and spells of destruction,
which draw on its fire energy to destroy. Fire also has a dual nature to
transform; hence its ability to be used in positive works as well.
Our lightening struck wood is from juniper, cedar, and pine trees.
According to Navajo beliefs, it is not wise to burn lightening struck wood as a
source of wood burning fuel as it can cause illness and bad luck. Lightening
struck wood is considered the property of the Spirit of Lightening.
Because we have an abundance of this rare and powerful item, we can offer it at
very reasonable prices. We offer this curio for sale in two sizes.
2 x 3 inch generously stuffed bag of lightening struck wood.

What
is New Orleans Voodoo
Hoodoo?
The term voodoo
hoodoo is commonly used by Louisiana locals to describe
our unique brand of New Orleans Creole Voodoo. It refers to
a blending of religious and magickal elements. There is the
tendency for many people to separate Voodoo the religion
from hoodoo the magick. However, this separation did not
occur in New Orleans as it did in other areas of the
country. The so-called magick is part of the religion; the
charms are medicine and spiritual tools that hold the
inherent healing mechanisms of the traditional religion and
culture. Voodoo in New Orleans is a way of life for those
who believe. A fellow New Orleans native and contemporary
gris gris man Dr. John explains it this way:
In New
Orleans, in religion, as in food or race or music, you can’t
separate nothing from nothing. Everything mingles each into
the other – Catholic saint worship with gris gris spirits,
evangelical tent meetings with spiritual church ceremonies –
until nothing is purely itself but becomes part of one fonky
gumbo. That is why it is important to understand that in New
Orleans the idea of voodoo – or as we call it gris gris – is
less a distinct religion than a way of life. (Rebennack &
Rummel, 1994, p. 159).

Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook (Revised edition) by Denise
