GospelPicker (inactive) Mississippi Folklore Question (15) RE: Mississippi Folklore Question 05 Oct 00


Being born with a veil is rumoured to make a person a seer or psychic in some folk belief structures... a mojo hand is a bag, usually worn around the neck, filled with herbs or roots like John the Conqueror Root or nightshade... depending on what power or protection you want, you would fill a bag with the necessary items... There are botanicas {shops) in New Orleans that still deal with hands and potions and charms in a VERY real way... but be warned... you pay more than money for dabbling... I am dead serious about this... I have had experiemces you would shudder at for sure. Anyway, that is a really basic overview of the things you mentioned... Stagger Lee wanted the hat because it was blessed by a santero or hoodoo man and given power to make a person wealthy... email me at RevHarp@aol.com if you want to know more... Shalom.
