***Disclaimers: (1) All of my spells are original, created by me based on the information I receive from reading about Hoodoo and my personal experiences or preferences. (2) Hoodoo is an ancestor-based practice created by African people who were enslaved in North America. If you’re not Black or Indigenous, you have no place in this work. Go back to Wicca. Your ancestors cannot help you here. (3) Hoodoo is also known as rootWORK. These spells can be energy and time consuming. Hoodoo is reliant on numerology. If you mess up a chant, start over. If you skipped a day, start over. If you forgot a step, do your best to make up for it but you’ll get better results it you start over. Hoodoo is hard work. Some of you ain’t ready to put it in. If you’re not ready, hire a conjurer to do it for you.***

PREPARING THE ROSE OIL OR ROSEWATER
- Make the rose oil or rosewater during the half waxing moon.
- Drain the rose oil or rosewater from the rose petals. Keep the rose petals for future conjure or carefully dispose of them with magical intention.
- Put the rose oil or rosewater in a container until the half waning moon.
- Add rubbing alcohol to the rosewater to better preserve it.
This is done during the half waning moon.
- Prepare the space for the presence of an Oshun. Purify the space, give her an offering, open yourself up to receive her blessings and knowledge.
- Light some palo santo and invite Oshun to the space with a prayer, song, or dance.
- Grab the jar with your less dominant hand and use your dominant hand to hold the palo santo. Circulate the burning wood clockwise around the jar and ask Oshun to bless the jar.
- Sprinkle a few grains of pink salt into the jar.
- Add some basil to the jar. If the basil is dried, put a palm-full into the jar using your dominant hand.
- Add rose oil until the basil is sticky and pasty. If you’re using rosewater, wait for later steps.
- Use your dominant hand to add two palm-fulls of rose petals into the jar.
- Prepare the space for your ancestors by burning their favorite incense or giving them an offering if you haven’t already.
- Ask your ancestors to assist you in bringing Oshun’s blessings to fruition. Ask them to guide you in preserving the blessings and ask them to give you the wisdom make the best of these blessings.
- Add any significant number of tablespoons of raw sugar cane or brown sugar into the jar everyday until it is half full. You can use honey instead or use both. (If you start off giving # tablespoons, keep it that way! No switching up.)
This can be done anytime starting at the new moon and before the full moon. Witness the spell come to fruition as the moon grows.
- Now that the jar is half full, you’ll begin stirring the contents to activate the magic that has been marinating all this time. Call upon Oshun as you do this. Welcome her with a song or prayer. Thank her for her assistance so far. Give her an offering.
- The contents of the jar should be well blended. Now, either fill the rest of the jar with palo santo water or fill the rest with half palo santo and half rosewater.
- Seal the jar and use your dominant hand or both hands to mix it by moving in a fast, clockwise circular motion. As you’re doing this, pray aloud, sing, or medidate your intentions for the jar.
- At the next half waxing moon, pour the content out or bury the jar in a location that is relevant to your intention for the spell.
- Pray, sing, or dance over this place before leaving an offering for the ancestors, saints, or other spirits that you revere.
