A mojo bag is a tool that you can fill with magical, lucky, symbolic or other spiritual items to create a “prayer in a bag” or a “spell in a bag”. The mojo bag can be carried with you or placed on your personal alter.
The contents of each bag is determined by your goal and aim of your prayer or spell. For example, a mojo bag carried for love drawing will contain different ingredients than one for gambling luck or magical protection.Ingredients can include roots, herbs, animal parts, minerals, coins, crystals, good luck tokens, and carved amulets. The more personalized objects are used to add extra power because of their symbolic value.
A mojo bag is not an inanimate talisman, but rather the physical body of a spiritual ally. In short, it is a living thing and as such it should have a name just like you were given a name when you were born. Psychologically speaking, assigning a name to your mojo helps one to facilitate the idea that it is a living thing with it's own personality, habits, needs, desires, etc. Once you choose the name of your mojo bag, use that name when addressing the bag communicating your needs or asking for its assistance.
