Road Opener

A **road opener**, also known as a road opening, is a formula used in conjure work that is created from a herb called ***Eupatorium villosum***, or **Abre Camino**. This name means ‘opening road’ or ‘road opener.’

This shrub like herb is usually found in the tropical climates like Florida and the Caribbean.

The road opener ritual is typically created using dust or an oil. However, it must contain the Abre Camino herb in order to be have the desired effect the user wants so it can truly be a ‘road opener.’

This is a type of hoodoo magick and rootwork that will help you remove barriers, blockages and obstacles so you can achieve the things that you want. As a result, you will see good fortune, good health, success, promotions, love, abundance and money come into your life easily.

So, if you have been working different types of magick and spells for a few weeks or a few months without success, the road opener ritual can help you with that.

## When Road Opener is Recommended

If you have been heavily crossed, you should probably start with an Uncrossing spell, to take off the mess. After that, if you find no refreshing change on the horizon, you may decide that you are somewhat "stuck" due to suffering the aftereffects of the previous troubles -- and, if so, you can work with Road Opener spiritual supplies to get started into forward motion once again.

Similarly, if you have not been cursed or jinxed, but feel "stuck" and devoid of forward movement in any aspect of life, Road Opener may be what you need.

## Using the Road Opener

This oil is generally used to dress candles when working in rootwork/magick. The candle can be used in conjunction with petition magick. Petition magick involves writing wishes or names on paper.

You can also use the oil to anoint yourself such as your forehead, hands or wrists as another way to use the oil during your ritual or during the day.

Road opener dust is also used for dusting clothing hand and other items that may be ruined by the oil. This can also be included in the ritual or as part of your daily routine. By dusting yourself everyday, you will be consciously working towards opening doors as you go about your routine.

The road opener herb can also be made into a detergent or washing powder that you can use to wash your clothing and yourself.

When using the powder to bathe yourself, always wash in an upward direction from your toes to your head. This will allow positive things to move towards you. If you want to draw things out or away from you, wash from head to toe.

A ritual bath using road opener can also be done if you use road opening herbs that can be found online, as well as in metaphysical stores that sell rootwork/hoodoo herbs and supplies.

After bathing, some of the bathwater is reserved and is thrown at a crossroads. A crossroad is four way intersection of two roads that looks like a plus sign.

In hoodoo and rootwork, it is common for Psalms to be recited out loud while road opening spell work is performed.

## CLEANING UP

It is important to properly dispose of ritual remains. Because these are magic spells for an open road, you may want to place the remains at a crossroads. Wrap up any left-over candle wax, incense ashes, and used sachet powders in a piece of cloth. Secure and tie it with thread or string. Leave them where two roads cross.
