A mojo bag is a powerful tool in the magick of Hoodoo (African American magickal practice).
One of the most potent and simple methods for connecting with our magickal guides is to carry a well- prepared mojo bag. It is widely believed that mojo bags are the man-made manifestation of a spiritual being and that they contain life-like properties.
The primary amulet of the Hoodoo religion, a mojo bag is essentially a flannel bag containing magical items of significance to the bags owner.

The word mojo is thought by some to be related to the West African word "mojuba," meaning a prayer of admiration and protection, as it is a "prayer in a bag".
Another possibility is that the name derives from the Kongo word "mooyoo," the ashes and ground up bones of an ancestor that are hidden in the front of the statue of nkisi ndoki. It is quite common for mojo bags to contain the bones of humans or animals.
