"People in positions of power speak of an old formula for ruling which they call COMMANDING. They claim that so-called COMMANDING Powders, Oils, Incenses, and Salts have enabled them to lead, dominate, and otherwise direct those around them. We make ours by the old formula, but sell as Curios only."
-- The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. catalogue
Commanding, Controlling, and Domination are the names of a series of hoodoo spiritual supplies designed to give you the power to lead, govern, and enforce your will on others. They can be used alone or added to other products for use in domination-style love spells, around the work-place, or anywhere that you want to be in command.
Commanding is also one of a family of related formulas that also includes Nature Power, Master, Master Key, John the Conqueror, and Crucible of Courage, products. Each one of these old-time recipes is slightly different -- some placing emphasis on sheer strength, others on male virility, leadership qualities, or mental force, or all of these combined with good fortune and luck at love and games of chance -- but they have in common the underlying aim of enhancing the magician's internally generated forces, enabling action upon the external world.
Unlike Compelling products, which force people to make good on what they have promised, or Essence of Bend-Over products, which bring about degradation or subjugation of others, Commanding can be used to help you get your way while still being admired for your talents, tactical skills, and leadership qualities. Whereas Essence of Bend-Over might be used to fix a bad-tempered boss or lover so that he or comes under your rule and does your will, Commanding oils, powders, incences, and bath crystals are primarily recommended in cases where you are seeking to make a strong impression through a show of competence, resourcefulness, and inherent dignity. Your word will be law, but those who follow you will enjoy their lower position and speak well of your forecful nature.
There are many ways to lay down tricks that utilize Commanding products. Some folks like to throw Commanding Powder in anotherÕs yard; others make up a mojo bag with natural curios such as five-finger grass (to cause people to comply when you ask a favour), and High John the Conqueror root (for personal power), then dress it with Commanding Oil, and wear it on the job. Others prefer to undertake a more complex spell that may involve burning a figural candle and incense. They may light a brazier of Commanding Incense, carve their name and wish for leadership into a purple offertory candle (for power), anoint the candle with Commanding Oil, and recite the 23rd Psalm ("The Lord is my shepherd") while the candle burns.
COMMANDING RESPECT ON THE JOB
If you feel the need to be treated with more respect on the job, in school, or in your career, you can make up a spiritual bath, into which you have dissolved half a packet of Commanding Bath Crystals, such as the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. brand shown above. Use the other half of the packet of crystals in your laundry rinse water, to get the materials into your socks and underwear. After bathing, put on the newly-washed ÒdressedÓ clothes and write your legitimate desire for control, domination, and respect on a piece of parchment or brown paper, signing it with you own full name written out seven times. Place the paper beneath a purple candle dressed with Commanding Oil and burn it along with Commanding Incense as you speak aloud your prayer and concentrate on your desires. Do this for seven days, and at the end of that time, dress a John the Conqueror root, a silver dime, and a small lodestone with Commanding Oil, wrap the paper around them and carry this packet on your person in a mojo hand. You should soon see a major difference in how you are treated, as people begin to consult you for your opinion and look to you for leadership.
COMMANDING AND CONTROLLING A LOVER
A similar mojo bag to the one above can be prepared by a man who wishes to control or dominate a female lover or his wife. Smply write your specific wish or prayer for such power over her and add some personal concern of hers, such as her hair, then dress the John the Conqueror root with both Commanding Oil and your own sexual fluids.
Women who wish to command and control a male lover are recommended to try instead the Nation Sack and, for extra strength, to combine Commanding Oil with Follow me Boy Oil, which is usually used to dress such a bag.
