A tribute to a somewhat nefarious and truly notorious ingredient in New Orleans spellcrafting. It is employed in hoodoo rootwork for various reasons, primarily in spells of protection, "tricking" your enemies, binding, and even love magick. The graves are chosen based on the type of working, and are determined by the type of spirit that lies there and the manner of their demise. Payment is always required in the form of offerings to the deceased.
This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss.
Both the rootwork and the branches of this tree were just amazing--in their size and somewhat strange angles.
A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she will become strong.
