ALTAR CLOTHS
for MAGIC SPELL WORK
A wide variety of cloths can be used to decorate an altar, but some cloths seem
to evoke certain kinds of magical spells and, by their visual appearance,
to help the practitioner concentrate on the job at hand. We offer the
following 100% cotton cloths, each one suitable to double in use as a
bandana (or a handsome dog-scarf!).
The altar cloths shown here are suitable for use in
hoodoo altar work;
Only a portion of each cloth is shown -- they are
cotton bandana-sized cloths, about 21 inches square.
At top left is
a cloth imprinted with an all-over pattern of high-denomination US
money -- fifties and hundreds, perfect for use in
Money Drawing,
Money House Blessing, and
Money Stay With Me spells.
At top right is an artful array of Chili Peppers, evocative of the Cayenne Pepper
that is used in Hot Foot
spells to drive away an enemy, unwanted neighbor, or a rival in love.
At bottom is an all-over (and all-purpose) pattern of tattoo flash art, an unusual mixture
of Asian Tiger (female symbol) and Dragon (male symbol), two Mexican-style Catholic
Flaming Hearts
(one wreathed in devotional Roses, the other broken, with a Key inserted in it),
and the 1950s US Custom Car Culture Lucky Flaming Dice
widely used as a good fortune
gambling charm or amulet.
Because candle wax,
incense ashes,
and sachet powders
sometimes spill onto altar cloths and because in
hoodoo rootwork and conjure
it is important to properly
dispose of ritual remains,
the use of simple and inexpensive cotton bandanas such as these
can facilitate both the rapid clean-up of the altar and the wrapping of spell-portions
slated for ritual disposal.
