With my recent delving into the folk magic practice of Hoodoo, it is inevitable to come across mojo bags. If you watch the show "Supernatural", you'll probably recognize these. They got a lot of it down, except that mojo bags aren't as suited to hexes as they are to other uses.
对于我最近钻研的Hoodoo这种民间巫术实践来说,mojo bag是无法被忽略的。如果你观察以超自然为主题的展览时,你可能会发现它们。他们会挂上很多很多个类似的东西,除非那个袋子对巫师来说并不是像其他的方法那样适合。
A mojo bag is a flannel bag (traditionally red, but color correspondences can also be adhered to) filled with herbs and other magical objects that together have a magical effect. These can be used for almost any purpose. When one creates a mojo bag, one wears it close their skin. And the bag is carried around when its magic is needed.
一个Mojo袋是一个天鹅绒制的袋子(传统中是红色,但根据(工作的性质与)颜色的对应关系也可以加以调整),里面装满了草药或是其他与巫术相关的物品,这些东西共同产生了了巫术上的效果。Mojo袋几乎可以被用来做任何事情。但一个人制作出一个mojo袋后,那个人需要把那个袋子贴身携带。并且在需要它的效力时贴身佩戴。
If the bag is to be used to cast a spell on somebody, a taglock of the person is placed into the it.
如果这个袋子是用来向某个人施法的,需要将那个人的象征物放入袋中。
On the making of a mojo bag, it must have at least three items. The most common is herbs, but also stones, sigils/seals (these may be those of spirits or ones you create. Note that the seals found in the Black Pullet are also frequently employed), and petition papers (addressed to the spirit who will be assisting in the work). All in all, have at least three items at nine at the most.
在制作mojo袋的时候,至少需要三样道具。最常见的是草药,也可以是骨头,符咒/印章(对于某些灵或者你创造出的灵体。注意《黑母鸡之书》里的印章常常会在这里派上用场),以及请愿书(写给某个提供援助的灵)。总之,最少三样最多九样。
