Description People use Chicken Feathers and Chicken Feet for cleansing away sorcery and crossed conditions. The African custom of sacrificing chickens in religious rites may have blended with tales from a European grimoire called The Black Pullet, creating the hoodoo image of the powerful Black Hen who removes jinxes. To achieve a specific objective, paint the feet with candle wax. Black wax signifies passive protection, while red wax represents aggressive protection. Pour the chosen coloured wax onto the foot, along with personal concerns, and ritual oils to create a powerful magical talisman. To find gainful employment or draw money anoint a chicken foot with money draw oil and green candle wax. To make someone fall in love with you. Spray rose water over a chicken foot and tie the persons picture to it with red string. Or paint the chicken foot red and add love drawing oil and hide somewhere where the person you want to fall in love with will find it. For luck in gambling, paint it gold and tie several coins with red thread. White painted feet smoked or tied to palo santo will purify spaces. Placing a rooster’s paw in a box is a charm against thieves. Hanging near doors will “scratch” anyone who enters with bad intentions. Touching the claws or rubbing on the body helps eliminate bad luck. Burning the foot once it has “scratched” evil off is common practice. Scratching the image of a person or a specific objects has the effect of “eliminating” these things from the person’s life. 1 black chicken feather
