What are mojo bags?
Mojo bags are small bags you can create to attract certain kinds of energy and things into your life. You can create mojo bags for love, protection, luck, energy, and so on. Usually, each bag comes in a specific color according to the kind of energy and result the practitioner wants to attract.
How to use one?
To use mojo bags, you need to add herbs, stones, and more useful items to attract what you desire. You have to name it, feed it once in a while, and, at first, you should sleep with it next to you or under your bed or pillow. This will help you create a special bond with the bag and it will become one with your essence. You should wear it but keep it away from others’ eyes.
How can it help?
A mojo bag can help you in many different ways. It can help you change your life in all areas, from love to health. It’s like an amulet, a special enchanted amulet that works like a living spell.
In fact, mojo bags are considered to be like magickal creatures you need to feed and take care of to let them grow and shed their power, manifesting amazing energy into your life.

What is gris-gris?
Gris-gris, according to the voodoo culture and tradition, are talismans in little satchels created to protect someone from bad energy and the evil eye. These little satchels are created with ingredients like body parts from people who want to be protected. This is the best way to connect with the caster and to help the gris-gris become one with him/her.
How to use a gris-gris?
Gris-gris, besides herbs, crystals, and other magickal ingredients, often involve some “darker” ingredients like nails, hairs, and even bones to attract energy. Being a voodoo tradition, it is more linked to black arts and magic.
How can it help?
A gris-gris can help protect you from the evil eye and as a black magic talisman. It’s a way to create a powerful dark shield around you to avoid negativity from getting to you, even if this kind of protection has to deal with a powerful but darker kind of magick.
Is it dangerous?
It can be. Being a voodoo practice, you need to be very careful about some things when creating a gris-gris. First, you must be very careful about what you wish for. Then, you need to mindfully choose the ingredients you want to bring into your gris-gris, considering that when you add body parts like nails, hairs, and similar stuff, all this creates a deep bond with the practice and if you cannot handle it or if you are not ready for it, it can be very messed up.

What’s best? A mojo bag or a gris-gris?
Mojo bags are more versatile tools and they can be customized for several goals and desired outcomes. Certainly, for a general use of magic more similar to white magic or red magic spells, mojo bags are the best option. Gris-gris is interesting and effective too but very hard to create and they require at least a bit of practice and knowledge in the black arts.
My honest opinion about mojo bags and gris-gris
I love mojo bags and am not a big fan of gris-gris. Mojo bags are more open to different kinds of magic and you can create them from a place of love and light. That’s a mandatory approach to avoid very bad consequences and to avoid attracting negative energy (and entities) around you.
I am not that comfortable using body parts when practicing magic, but of course this is a very personal matter! I am a green witch and I love using simple, natural ingredients like herbs, essential oils, seeds, and roots.
Some other witches might love darker practices, and that is totally fine!
Each one of us is different and don’t forget that you make your own practice! There is no right or wrong when it comes to your own craft. You know you and you know what’s the best call for you and what might better resonate with your soul and your craft.
Don’t let others divert your own path, instead, use others as an inspiration and try to respect your intuition and your own magick. These are mandatory steps to let magick work and manifest!
I am not into these practices. How can I attract what I want?
You have so many options available! You just have to choose your own! You can cast a spell on your own using one of the several spells you can find on my website, you can order a spell casting and let me cast a spell for you, or you can use sigils and others talismans!
Otherwise, if you just want to know how things will go and what your future holds, you can order a tarot reading and ask the cards what’s next! Magick has so much to offer! Now it’s up to you to choose the right thing for yourself to unveil your future, embrace your vision, and live a better life!
