Guest Alayna Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Footprints have been know to hold the essence of a person and have been used in Magical Workings. The dirt taken from one's footprint may be used for obtaining then holding power over the person who made them, much like other parts of the body as urine, hair etc. In Hoodoo, I'm aware that putting dirt from a fooprint into a Mojo pouch will "encourage" the target to follow the practioner. They are also used in the Fae Traditions, and in houses known to be haunted by demonic activity, some place ashes on the floors of the house, looking for footprints to show up left in the ashes to show what type of entity is present.Has anyone worked with footprint dirt in their magical workings and if so, did u use other items such as glass or nails to impair the target in anyway?

Jevne Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I had the opportunity to work some magic on a set of footprints today and thought to bump this post for additional discussion, as it seems to have died on the vine, so to speak. I recall several posts along the same line, so please feel free to link to those, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBones Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I don't really have anything to add here concerning human footprints and spell work, but I have heard that if a person wishes to gain the abilities of a certain animal (or to create a spiritual connection with the creature) then the person should drink rain water out of the animal's pawprint. Personally, I've never felt the need to do this so I can't say how effective it is... Little fun fact though, drinking from a wolf's print was supposedly one of the ways to become a werewolf. Just thought I'd toss this in here for those who are interested in such tales. :puppykiss: Edited February 19, 2013 by CatBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticGypsy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 but I have heard that if a person wishes to gain the abilities of a certain animal (or to create a spiritual connection with the creature) then the person should drink rain water out of the animal's pawprint. As a believer of etymology and animism in my Path, I don't find this far fetched at all. :) Regards,Gypsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
