Adding strength to the work

There are times we need to make our work stronger or work quicker and it all depends on your ingredients.  In conjure work there are some ingredients that make the work strong and gun powder and or Sulfur are a few of them.  For example, you can write a uncrossing petition on paper then sprinkle it with gun powder and light it (carefully of course).  It is added to different works to heat it up.  This is one thing that only a pinch can do and you never get heavy with it.  Now, gun powder may not be something you feel comfortable with so you can substitute it with sulfur.  Both gun powder and/or sulfur added to any work will give it a powerfully aggressive and dangerous vibe.

One works that this might be applied to is War Water or the old Tar Water recipe.  Tar water is creosote mixed with water and other ingredients and is carcinogenic and dangerous.  You can substitute today turpentine for the creosote.  Now Zora Neale Hurston wrote a formula in which she called it War Water and described it as Oil of Tar in water while other individuals have made a distinction in their recipe between the two War Water and Tar Water.  Now it is difficult to determine what happened with Hurston’s formula either she made a mistake in writing the name down or the editor of her book inserted the wrong formula without knowing that there is a difference.  Tar Water is used to remove psychic sludge from your life and this was the intention in Hurston’s formula. 

Each practitioner practices differently and will add ingredients to their own recipe that another will not and they will lay the trick down a little different as well.  It does not make either wrong as both are right for them and how they do their work.  A good example is in Jim Haskins’ book “Voodoo & Hoodoo he describes making War Water using the nest of a dirt dauber, break it apart and mix it with graveyard dir.  Put the mixture in the War Water and shake it up then smash it on the person’s walkway.  Well, that smashing a glass bottle on a person’s walk way could lead to all types of problems in today’s world, but some may do it.  Now Zora Neale Hurston does not talk about smashing the bottle but sprinkling it in front of the enemy’s house.  She also states that you can take a black hen egg, make a hole big enough to blow the egg out, take the names and write them on paper, mix hot sauce, mustard and fill up the egg then soak it in War Water for 9 days. (Remember the numbers 3 and 9 are good numbers for the practitioner) and throw it in your enemies yard.  This will cross the house and make them move away.  Now you don’t have to add gun powder to the egg for you have placed the gun powder or sulfur in the egg.

Still on the subject of gun powder, there is hot foot powder recipe.  You will find numerous types of recipes on the web or in books but the main ingredients are sulfur (gun powder), black pepper and cayenne pepper and other recipes will include fire ants, ghost peppers, dirt dauber next, iron shavings etc.  The purpose of hot foot powder is use to rid yourself of unwanted guests, lovers, enemies and to make them to get steppin out of your life.

Yes, when you look into gun powder it used be called black powder so is there a recipe to make the black powder so you do not need to use the gun powder or stock up on fire crackers.  I came across the following link that explains the making of black powder so if you love mixing your ingredients check it out.  http://www.musketeer.ch/blackpowder/recipe.html
