@meeka.monroe: Mojo Bags, also called hands, conjure bags, or trick bags. These lil’ cloth bundles been workin’ behind the scenes in the lives of Southern Black folks for generations. Whether tucked in a bra, pinned to a child’s shirt, or buried under a doorstep, they hold the prayers, herbs, roots, coins, and secrets of folks who still walk with spirit. Back in slavery times, we didn’t have no church steeples or whitewashed altars. But baby, we had dirt, we had roots, and we had belief. Mojo bags were how we kept our power close, hidden in plain sight.
