A MEXICAN CHARM BAG FOR PROTECTION
Mojo or charm bags are frequently employed in Mexican magic and are designed and carried for almost every purpose.
The following mojo bag is used to protect against all harm both physical and psychic. The charm is made in honour of the Mexican saint of protection Santa Marta, and its manufacture includes a special prayer said to surround the devout in a shield of protective energy.
Take a small vivid red square of cloth and fold it in half so that two corners come together on two sides. The result should be a rectangle large enough to be sewn into a small bag suitable for carrying in the purse or pocket. Place the following in a little mound on one side of the rectangle of cloth:
A pinch of white pepper
A portion of sage
A sprinkling of powdered garlic
A dash of cayenne pepper
A little morsel of tobacco
A thorn from a cactus or rose
A small tiger's or cat's eye stone
Fold one side of the cloth over the other to encase the herbs and crystal inside. Carefully sew around the edges of the cloth, being careful to thoroughly bind the contents within. Kiss the charm, place it beneath your pillow and sleep on it over four consecutive nights.
Hold the charm bag in your hands and with closed eyes, visualise brilliant red energy emanating from it, growing stronger and radiating out to fill the room.
Light a red candle and recite the following prayer to Santa Marta:
"Sanctified Santa Marta, bless and cleanse me of my woes,
Slay the dragon of my misfortune and light my way upon the path
To peace and tranquillity. Bless my charm and occasion it to
Protect me against all harm in your name."
Carry the charm on your person from then on.
