Paper in My Shoe by Catherine Yronwode
Paper in My Shoe is a classic guide to the time-honored Hoodoo practice of
petition and name papers—writing your prayers and intentions so spirit can move them into
the world. Rootworker and historian Catherine Yronwode shares authentic methods,
historic sources, and clear, step-by-step instructions for love, money, protection, court
case work, and more.
Whether you are new to conjure or refining your craft, this book shows how a simple
piece of paper—placed under a candle, folded into a mojo bag, tucked in your shoe, or
hidden where it will work—can focus will, guide energy, and get results.
Book Benefits:
- Learn how to write powerful petition and name papers the traditional way.
- When to use plain paper vs. prepared papers; inks, seals, sigils, psalms, and scripts.
- Proper folding, turning, tearing, and placement (under candles, inside mojos, in jars, etc.).
- Real-world examples for love, attraction, prosperity, protection, and court case work.
- Historical context that preserves the cultural roots of African-American folk magic.
How to Use:
Read the book cover to cover once for the full system, then keep it on your altar or in
your shop as a working reference. Use it when preparing ritual candles, assembling mojo
bags, dressing sachet powders, or setting lights for clients. Start with one method, record
your petitions, and track results to develop your personal style within tradition.
