Make Your Own Van Van Oil
Try Huldah's Simple & Easy Formula
Van Van oil is an old traditional Hoodoo oil born out of Louisiana and the gulf coast areas where citronella thrives in the warm climates. The oil is used to keep bad luck off of you in all aspects of your life such as money, finances, romance, business and games of chance. Early Van Van oils were made with lemon rinds, citronella, bergamot, roses and pine. Through the years other ingredients such as palmarosa, patchouli and lemongrass have become more popular.
You can make your own Van Van oil with these four simple ingredients. You can use the dried herbs and/or essential oils for a more potent Hoodoo oil. I recommend using a mixture of herbs and essential oils. I also recommend using Advocado oil.
1 part Lemongrass, Citronella, Palmarosa, Vetiver to 3 part oil. Adjust to your liking.

The Rhythm of Mojos
Some years ago, I made a mojo for a good friend, they wanted one for gambling because they loved to play the slot machines at the casinos. It was a very plain, small and simple gambling hand that I made for them. Afterwards, I didn’t hear anything else and forgot about it. One day my friend told me they lost their gambling hand and asked if I could make them another one. They revealed that from the moment they received the mojo bag, they had been on a winning streak. This is an example at how mojos such as those for gambling, money and prosperity often work like the tides of the ocean and phases of the moon, with periods of increase and decrease, ebb and flow. It is for this reason that you have to take time and bond with mojo’s to learn their sacred rhythm of power and use it for your advantage. Learn the ebb and flow of power or seasons of your mojo.
Hoodoo Tip for Summer
Pay attention to lightning during the summer rain showers. Lightning can bring messages, depending on it’s circumstances. Lightning strikes means betrayal by someone you know. Lightning in the west means disruption is coming. From the south means delays and setbacks. Dark scary clouds and sky foretell disappointments and/or loss is on the horizon. Lightning above your head foretells good luck is on the way. Next time a storm approaches watch the lightning to see if it has a message for you.
