Lucky Mojo labels are adapted from vintage packaging and in many cases the images are as traditional as the ingredients themselves. The injuries caused by malevolent foot-track magic range from general runs of bad luck and mental disturbances to unnatural illnesses and deadly medical problems. The victims of such magic are said to be hurt or poisoned through the feet. Obviously, there is need for an apotropaic or protective formula to stop such things from happening before they get out of hand. The oldest and most rural of these apotropaic charms are Salt , Black Pepper powder, silver coins , and the root known as Devil s Shoe Strings .
Salt is a general magical protectant in almost every culture around the world.
It is generally worn in the shoes or socks. Devil s Shoe Strings roots are both protective and curative. They are worn at the ankle or on the leg to counteract any form of trick that has been laid down . To kill such marks, people may sprinkle patterns of their own over them, using Fear Not to Walk Over Evil powder to counteract the poison. Even if the cross-marks cannot be seen, it is still considered a wise thing to clean out the pathway to one s house every little once in a while.
