Items do not come with instructions unless the listing states that they do. There are many, many ways to use these products and the appropriate working depends on the particulars of the case/client. As a professional rootworker, I doubt I've ever done the same altar work the same way twice - everything is customized for the client/situation. This is not a one size fits all scenario where you pick a spell out of a book. Hoodoo just isn't like that. So different workers will work different ways sometimes, and there is always more than one way to use an item. My supplies are building blocks, but the architectural plans are yours.
