This one decided it wanted to be a sort of "stay under the radar, dodge sketchy shit, and deflect bad eggs, bad eyes, and bad juju" sort of charm. Which is hilarious considering that this is one of the least subtle/discreet/blending-in pieces I've made in a while. Well, we'll see once I get the final bones in place. Maybe it'll be stealthy enough to go unnoticed if you're wearing, er, a thick sweater 🥴 #seraphinstation #conjureartist #spiritualjewelry #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #hoodoorosary #rootwork #rootworkersofinstagram #blackcatbones #esoterichandmade #bayouhoodoo #devilsshoestring #coyotebone #malojo #apotropaic #witchy #talisman #goodluckcharm #amulet #lawkeepaway #roadopener #reclaimed https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPRRAbSX-A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Packing up April Saint of the Month boxes. (Yes, I know it's May lol... But I had to fiddle with the art for the candle labels a lot, and every chaplet is handmade and unique, and the booklet these are shipping with actually has footnotes, so this kind of thing just takes time!) #seraphinstation #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #folkcatholicism #folksaint #stexpedite #saintexpedite #bayouhoodoo #rootwork #rootworkersofinstagram #conjureartist #conjureart #catholicwitch #saintofthemonth #esoterichandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3miaCJTRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Job's Tears plant (Coix lacryma-jobi) is looking like it wants to live after all. Yay! While my mother thinks the pale grayish, shiny "seeds" that you harvest look like ticks 🥴, they're used practically worldwide as beads for jewelry. And in these parts, we like to make rosaries out of them. Some folks call them rosary plants and spiritually, they seem to me to evoke compassion, humility, perseverance, and family and community ties. Along the Gulf Coast, I've seen Job's Tears used for luck, especially money luck and gambling luck, and they're an integral part of a well-known rite for wish-granting. They also happen to be an edible, gluten-free grain. Why everybody who can grow them doesn't is honestly beyond me. #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #jobstears #coixlacrymajobi #moneyluck #botanicalbeads #swampconjure #folkcatholicism #rootwork #rootworkersofinstagram #seraphinstation #bigluckyhoodoo #karmazain https://www.instagram.com/p/CWaHsXoLB6l/?utm_medium=tumblr
