La Madama Devotional Items
La Madama is a family of
spirits called upon for instructions on healing, divination, spellwork,
protection from negative energies, maintaining finances,
spiritual cleansings and dream prophecies. La Madama
represents the female protective and empowerment energies in
families. She is also known as La Negra and La
Conga. She is the protector of tarot readers and many
rootworkers. Offerings to her include healing herbs,
flowers, red fabric, cowrie shells, tarot cards, cigarettes
and strong black coffee. Light a candle to her in a quite
dark room and listen carefully for her to speak. She speaks
bluntly and will tell you what you need even if you don't
want to hear it. Crossroads Mojo carries a complete
line of La Madama devotional objects and
products to assist you in honoring your own
personal La Madama or archetypal
representation of the southern Mammy.

Black Hawk Devotional Items
Black Hawk
was a famous leader and warrior of the Sauk
American Indian Nation. Although he had
inherited an important historic medicine
bundle, he was not a hereditary civil chief
of the Sauk; rather, he was an appointed war
chief. During the War of 1812, Black Hawk
fought on the side of the British. Later he
led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors against
settlers in Illinois and present-day
Wisconsin in the 1832 Black Hawk War. After
the war he was captured and taken to the
eastern U.S. where he and other British Band
leaders toured several cities. Black Hawk
died in 1838 in what is now southeastern
Iowa.
In the Native way, Black Hawk
is an elder. Elders are revered and given
the utmost respect. This is translated in
hoodoo and
spiritualism by calling him Father
Black Hawk, though his given name in
Mesquakie is Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak
(which actually translates into Black
Sparrow Hawk). No one
save for a Meskwaki Indian
can pronounce his given name, so it is hoodooized into Father Black Hawk.
Father Black Hawk is
petitioned by the individual in their homes.
He is typically evoked for help with money
and protection, justice, release from
prison, to win court cases and overcome
tragedy, as well as any problem you may be
facing. He is the consummate warrior, and
wants to fight your battles for you. They
say he will come to those who have enough
patience to sit still and listen. Learn more

Crossroads University. |

In
the Spiritualist Churches,
Black Hawk is considered a saint. Anyone who is recognized as doing the
work of the Creator is considered a saint, whether or not they have been
officially canonized by the Catholic Church.
Black Hawk is referred to as the "Watchman on the Wall" who will
"fight your battles for you". He is the guardian of a combined Indian nation,
the Sauc and Fox, together referred to as
Meskwaki.
Black Hawk can
be found on the altars of rootworkers across the country but particularly in the
South. This spirit bottle would be a unique piece of devotional art to honor and
respect the Indian Spirit Guide loved by so many. |
Made with the four sacred
colors of the medicine wheel, this
fabulous bracelet is made of
semiprecious stones and a charm bearing
the image of Father Black Hawk. The
bracelets are smudged with the smoke of
sage and cedar to bring you the highest
blessings.
This
inspiring bracelet is made of quartz
crystal,
onyx, citrine or yellow jade and jasper
or red jade, depending on the
availability of the stones. It measures
7.5 inches. If you need a larger or
smaller size,
indicate on the space provided for
comments upon checkout and we
will be happy to customize the bracelet
for you.

Candles are commonly burned on altars to show
special devotion to a specific saint or deity. Hoodoo candles are glass encased
candles that will burn for approximately 120 hours. This is a beautiful candle that has been ritually
prepared and "fixed" for you with special oils, herbs, and prayer. Use
to draw on the gifts
of the Black Hawk to be the Watchman on the Wall and to fight your battles for you.
Gain
protection from him and be protected against magickal attacks/psychic
warfare.
This Fixed Altar Candle bears an original
prayer written by Mama D for the faithful Indian Spirit Guide.
Our candles can
be reused once they have burned down as vases for
holding flowers or refilled with wax to burn again.

About Crossroads Magic
Denise Alvarado
Crossroads magic is particularly
pronounced in conjure, rootwork, and hoodoo.
In conjure practice, it is said that in
order to acquire talent in a particular
skill such as playing a musical instrument,
throwing dice, or dancing, one may go to a
crossroads a certain number of times, either
at midnight or just before dawn, and one
will meet a "black man," presumably Legba,
though often mistaken for the Devil, who
will bestow upon one the desired skills….for
a price, of course.
In the folk magic
of many cultures, the crossroads is a location where two realms
touch and thus represent a place "between worlds" or “neither her
nor there” As such, the crossroads is a site where supernatural
spirits can be contacted and paranormal events can take place.
In the African-derived
traditions, Papa Legba, Ellegua, Elegba,
Eshu, Pomba Gira and Exu are the spirits
of the crossroads. All of these
manifestations of the crossroads spirits
serve a similar role in that they act as
intermediaries between the divine
spirits and humans. They stand at the
spiritual crossroads and give or deny
permission to speak with the spirits of
Guinee, and are believed to speak all
human languages.
The crossroads play a
prominent role in Voodoo and hoodoo. Not
only is it the place where one can
petition Legba and interact with the
various loas, it is the place where
ritual remains are left, the place where
leftover water from spiritual baths are
disposed of, the place where cursed
objects can be nullified, and where any
number of spells can be performed.
