Devil's Shoestring Root In Your Practice.
Devil's Shoestring (Viburnum lantana) has a history of use in the south it is used for protection against the devil.
The use of Devil's Shoestring dates back as far as the early 19th century in the Southern States. In Hoodoo the Devil's Shoestring is considered a powerful protection root.
There are a few stores of how this came to be. "One source says the root was used to tie the devil or evil spirits to trees, effectively binding them and keeping them away."
Don't Do, It's not to be used to summoned Vodou loa like the internet say (don't try that)
What's It's For: Its use for protection against the devil. There's a saying 'If you don't tie your shoes you'll fall', This is the same thing. Think of this root as the shoestring on the devil's shoes, it trips the devil so he can't follow you home.
I like saying 23rd Psalms over it. You can add a little Holy water if you like.
(Please!!! Don't think despite what you read online that you can burn this root or add it to a candle to rid a place of dark spirits or entities) it's basically for energies.
Creating A Protection Bag: You can used it on a protection bag. But really not necessary.
In the bag you can add things like
Protection oil or powder or devil be gone, frankincense and myrrh, Basil, (Angelica root if preferred,) Psalm 91 or you can 23rd palms.
