Mojo, aka spell, bags are one of my favorite methods of producing helpful healing spells. They are super easy to craft and very handy. By putting together most items the average practitioner has handy, you can create very useful and effective works!
As I completed my Correllian Shaman studies, I learned about mojo bags. I used one to help my foot pain and due to the success, I have developed additional spells over time. Remember that blog post? You can read it here.
The basics of the bag are simple. You merely need to have a pouch that you can keep close to your body. My preference is to cut a 3” circle, fill it with the bits I need, tie it shut with hemp cord, or color correspondence ribbon, and wear it around my neck or tucked into my bra.
In creating your bag, you simply pick the elements that are needed to complete your spell. For the spell I share today, I will be using the following items:
Black fabric to defend against negativity. I am cheating today and using a piece of sock that I lost the pair to. This makes it even easier since all that I will need to do is tie it shut.
Brown hemp rope to bring peace during my sleep.
Tigers eye for insight
Clear quartz to defend against negativity (this is really important to me)
Rosemary for protection
Chamomile for a restful sleep
Dandeloin for a restful sleep and to attract friendly spirits
Tobacco to communicate with the spirits
Sage for wisdom
Rose for dreams
Basil for protection
Salt for strength
Anointed Lavender oil for final consecration and for a restful sleep.
Cast a circle, I also like to call corners... Be sure to cleans and consecrate all items before assembly.
From this point, as you work, be sure to repeat your intent.
Say something to the effect: “as I place each item in this bag, please Goddess use these to bless me with a restful sleep. Then state the intent of each item as you place it inside.” I will repeat as many times as I must as I concentrate on the intent, inputting positive energy into each item and ensuring that my desire is clear. This will vary depending upon how many items you place in your bag.
Once you are finished placing all items inside, tie it shut. Then breathe into the bag, to breath life into it. Do a final anointing with the Lavender oil and chant your final intent. Mine was something to this effect
Please Goddess bless me with a restful sleep. May I be protected from any harm and may any messages I need to receive, come to me.
Once you finish, you will of course close your quarters and your circle!
I realize that much of this is very generalized, but we each have different goals in our workings. This is just to give you a good idea on how to create your bag. They work wonderfully!
