DEVILS SHOESTRING…

Devil’s Shoestring Root – A Powerful Hoodoo Herb for Protection and Prosperity

Devil’s Shoestring Root is a staple in Hoodoo practices, revered for its ability to “trip the devil” and prevent negative forces from giving chase. While its official name is Nolina lindheimeriana (part of the lily family), other plants like Viburnum lantanoides and Viburnum prunifolium (Blackhaw) are also commonly referred to as Devil’s Shoestring. Despite their differences, all these plants share similar magickal properties, making them interchangeable in spiritual work.

Important Note: Devil’s Shoestring is toxic and should not be ingested or burned. Handle with care and use only for its spiritual properties.

Spiritual Uses of Devil’s Shoestring Root:

  • Protection: Trips up negative energies, spirits, and harmful intentions, keeping them at bay.

  • Money & Luck: Attracts financial abundance and good fortune.

  • Employment: Helps secure jobs, promotions, and career opportunities.

  • Power: Enhances personal strength and resilience in challenging situations.

How to Use:

  • Mojo Bags: Carry Devil’s Shoestring in a mojo bag for protection and luck.

  • Floor Washes: Add to spiritual floor washes to cleanse and protect your home.

  • Spell Work: Use in spells for employment, money drawing, or warding off negativity.

I am not big on putting up the spells I use as they are secreto, but here is one I found on Original Botanica’s website www.originalbotanica.com

First cleanse the root with water, salt, or incense smoke.

Devil’s Shoestring is often used to create powerful protection amulets. Here are the ingredients you will need to create your own:

Several small pieces of Devil’s Shoestring root

  • A red cloth
  • A piece of black cord or string
  • Protection Oil, Rosemary Oil, or Basil Oil

Hold your cleansed Devil’s Shoestring in your hands and focus on your intention for the amulet, which is protection against negative energies and evil spirits.

Wrap the root in a piece of red cloth and tie it closed with a piece of black cord or thread, knotting it three times while focusing on your intention.

Anoint the amulet with some Protection Oil, Rosemary Oil, or Basil Oil, and recite the following protective incantation or prayer…

I consecrate this amulet with the power of protection,
that it may keep me safe from harm and negativity.

You can wear the amulet as a necklace, or carry it around with you in your purse or your car where it can continue to manifest powerful protection for you.
