"We are told on good repute that folks with a grievance against someone who has broken a promise or who owes them money can make use of so-called COMPELLING Powder, Oil, Salts, or Incense to get what is theirs. We do not guarantee results, but offer traditional COMPELLING products as Curios only."
-- The Lucky Mojo Curio Co. catalogue
The labels shown here are from packages of Lucky Mojo brand Compelling crystal salts for putting in the laundry or performing a ritual floor wash, self-lighting incense powders for fumigating an area where one wishes to compel obedience, sachet powders for sprinkling on letters demanding a certain response, and anointing oil for dressing candles. Like the rest of the Lucky Mojo line, these products contain genuine herbs, roots, and herbal essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. The ingredients in Compelling formulas include Calamus Root and Licorice Root, plus other herbs and essences. Lucky Mojo labels are adapted from vintage packaging and in many cases the images are as traditional as the ingredients themselves.
Compelling is the curious name of a series of hoodoo spiritual supplies designed to compel another person to do your bidding. Although the name sounds rather harsh, Compelling products are not as cruel in intent as Essence of Bend-Over products, because they do not bring about degradation or subjugation. Whereas Essence of Bend-Over might be used to fix your enemy or a bad-tempered boss so that they come under your command and do your will, Compelling oils, powders, incenses, and bath crystals are primarily recommended in cases where one is owed money or a favour, or a promise has been broken. If a party will not keep his or her word to you, a Compelling spell may be needed to get what you are owed. In actual practice, Compelling supplies are often mixed with love oils or powders for use in love spells and with money oils or powders for use in money spells.
There are many ways to lay down tricks that utilize Compelling products. Some folks like to throw Compelling Powder in the recalcitrant person's 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 Compelling Oil, and wear it when they confront the person and demand their due. Others prefer to undertake a more complex spell that may involve burning a figural candle and incense. They may light a brazier of Compelling Incense, carve the person's name with a coffin nail into a purple offertory candle (for power) or a green devil figural candle (for the return of money owed), anoint the candle with Compelling Oil, and recite the 37th Psalm ("Fret not thyself with evildoers") while the candle burns.
If the person who owes you something lives in your home, you can do as many others have done and draw him a nice bath, into which you have secretly dissolved a packet of Compelling Bath Crystals, such as the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. brand shown above.
While he is bathing, go into another room in the house and write your legitimate desire for justice on a piece of parchment or brown paper, including the name of the person whom you wish to compel. Place the paper beneath a purple candle dressed with Compelling Oil and burn it along with Compelling Incense while he is bathing.
When he comes out of the bath, ask for what you are owed in a firm, even tone of voice, without anger. You should get what you have been promised in short order.
If you suspect someone is a liar but are not sure, get a purple candle and dress it with Compelling Oil. Write the person's name on a piece of parchment or brown paper nine times and cross and cover that name with your name nine times. Place the paper under the candle and burn it for seven days while the moon is waxing.
Each night you light it, call the person's name and say, "I compel you to tell me the truth!"
On the seventh night wrap the left-over candle wax in the paper and throw it away in running water or at a crossroads. He will be compelled to tell the truth and may confess to many lies.
This type of "spill your guts" bottle spell carries the intention of forcing a person who is doing wrong in some way to confess or to make a misstep that will result in him being caught out and spilling his guts or revealing everything that he has sought to keep hidden with respect to his thoughts or actions.
Be prepared, if you engage this sort of work, that you are going to bring out the ugly side of the man or woman whom you are compelling in this manner. If the worst nature of your targetted person includes the threat or danger of violence, be aware that this may occur. As a teacher, i can educate you about this sort of bottle spell, but you must undertake it at your own risk, after deciding for yourself wether it is appropriate or safe for you to perform.
This bottle spell can be used on a single individual or on more than one person. As with most hoodoo rootwork spells, it consists of and relies upon four fundamentals --
Dilettante spell-casters often ask me how to perform a curse of this magnitude, with its life-changing potential, even though they cannot obtain (or are afraid to obtain) physical links to the target or targets of the spell. As always, i must explain that conjure magic is traditional in its requirements for physical links, or, failing that, for photographs or handwriting samples. You are contesting against another's will -- you must have a lever to push him or her off-balance. The physical link is that lever.
In describing this spell, i will use as an example the case of a man who has been having an affair with a dark-haired woman. The woman finds a long bonde hair in his bed and she knows it is not hers. Rather than simply break up with the man and go her own way and find a better lover, she wants, for reasons sufficient unto herself, to catch the man out in his lies, in order to humiliate him or cause a confrontation. She would like to catch the woman out as well, for she suspects that it is someone she knows.
Let me assume that you, the reader, are such a woman in such a case, and i will tell you how to work a traditional hoodoo bottle spell to make the man "spill his guts" (and the woman too, if possible). Keep in mind, however, that this type of work can (and has) also been done to cause a criminal to reveal his crimes and a smooth liar to reveal his evil intentions. Since this is a spell of coercion, the degree of success you may expect is going to be in proportion to the degree of will-power of your opponent and the degree of protection he or she has put in place.
And so, let us proceeed to the case of the faithless lover and the blonde-haired woman. You will need one of his hairs and one of her hairs too. You will also need to buy some tripe -- the stomach lining of a cow. You can get this in a butcher shop. Some call it "honeycomb tripe." You will also need a quart mayonnaise jar -- not a heavy glass Mason jar like a canning jar, but a thin-walled mayonnaise jar. Slice the raw tripe into strips. Mix a packet of Compelling sachet powder with clear (distilled, not red) vinegar and your own urine. (It'll be a mess; that's okay.) Pack the jar with a mix of raw tripe, Spanish Moss, and Red Pepper, plus the hairs of the secret lovers, and the liquid mixture.
Leave some head space in the jar so that the mixture will be able to "work." Perform this rite during the dark of night, by the light of a black candle dressed with Compelling oil (use no electric lights), starting before dawn, but finishing as the Sun rises.
As you work, and as you add these ingredients, of course you should be praying for the man and the woman to "spill their guts" (the tripe) and for their secrets to burn their souls until they speak (the Red Pepper), and for their lives to be sour (the vinegar) until under the force of your command (your urine) and the compulsion you exercise over them (the Compelling mixture) their rottenness explodes from within and their crimes will be self-confessed and self-exposed to the light of day.
Set the finished jar in the light of the rising Sun -- it is important that it see "the light of day" for as many hours per day as possible. If you made this jar right, with plenty of urine and not too much vinegar, and with a good amount of Spanish Moss, Red Pepper, and tripe, and left an inch of head space, and crafted it all within a thin enough glass jar, and sealed it tight, it will eventually rot and swell and explode! And so will their world of deceit.
Start on a Saturday. Get a
figural candle
in the form of green devil and carve the
borrower's name on it along with the words "GIVE ME MY MONEY!"
On a piece of unlined paper write his name 9 times and cross
his name 9 times with the words "GIVE ME MY MONEY!"
Place the paper beneath an overturned saucer, and put the
candle,
which you have dressed with Compelling Oil and / or
Pay Me Oil
on top of that.
As the candle
burns, speak out loud your demand for the
return of your money in your own words and close with the
phrase:
Now take up the burning candle and saucer and retrieve the
person's name paper from underneath. Hold the paper near the
flame and say,
Compel him to feel the sting of his conscience
Compel him to burn with the fire of remorse
Compel him to taste in his mouth only ashes
Compel him to dream of the evil he's done
Compel him to remember his debt to me
Whenever he thinks of money
Whenever he hears the word "money"
Whenever he sees money
Whenever he touches money
NOW, PAY ME THE MONEY YOU OWE ME, [Name],
or it will be hot for you!
Singe the paper a little, then put it back under the saucer
and pinch the candle out (do not blow it out).
For 7 days, light the candle and speak aloud the
commands as above. Then singe the paper, using the same
warning words given above each time.
During this week, while the spell is working, you MUST also
contact him somehow and ask for your money, firmly and
confidently.
If you will see him in person, wear Compelling
Oil on your clothes when you meet.
If you write to him by
mail, sprinkle Compelling Sachet Powder on the letter, drag
your fingernails down through the powder in wavy "snake
lines" and then blow the powder off the paper.
If you write to him by email or speak to him by phone, your opportunity
for contact will be less, but at least wear Compelling Oil
as you communicate electronically and be sure to state your
command clearly and firmly.
If at any time during this period he makes a payment or
repays the debt in full, thank the Green Devil for his aid
and assistance, and consider the spell complete.
However, if despite your verbal contact with him and despite
the magical warnings he has received with every singe of his
name-paper, he still has not made any movement to repay you after 7 days,
you can add to the words and action of the magical command.
On the 8th day, which should again be a Saturday, light
the candle and speak your demands aloud, as before.
As the candle burns, speak out loud your demand for the
return of your money in your own words and close with the
phrase:
Pick up the burning candle and saucer and retrieve the
borrower's name paper from underneath one last time. Hold the
paper near the flame and say,
Green Devil,
Compel [Name] to run through the flames of Hell
Until he falls to the ground at my feet
With his arm outstretched
And the money in his hand,
Begging me to take it!
NOW, PAY ME THE MONEY YOU OWE ME,[Name],
PAY ME MY MONEY -- or ***BURN***!!!
And let his name-paper burn up.
GREEN DEVIL MONEY-BACK SPELL
Green Devil, I SEEK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!
Green Devil, this is my command:
Until [Name] repays the debt he owes
Green Devil, I SEEK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!
Green Devil, this is my command:
Until [Name] repays the debt he owes
Compel him to feel the sting of his conscience
Compel him to burn with the fire of remorse
Compel him to taste in his mouth only ashes
Compel him to dream of the evil he's done
Compel him to remember his debt to me
Whenever he thinks of money
Whenever he hears the word "money"
Whenever he sees money
Whenever he touches money
