Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil
Matthew 18:18
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
Harness the Power of Protection and Influence in Hoodoo Tradition
Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil is a potent blend rooted in the rich traditions of African American Hoodoo. This oil draws its strength from two powerful ingredients: Devil's Shoestring and Devil's Walking Stick, both renowned for their protective and binding qualities. For centuries, these roots have been employed by rootworkers and conjurers to safeguard against harm, trip up adversaries, and bind the affections of a lover. Our Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil is meticulously crafted to honor these age-old practices, providing you with a spiritual tool that resonates with the wisdom of the ancestors.
Historical Significance in Hoodoo
In Hoodoo, the use of Devil's Shoestring is well-documented, valued for its ability to "trip up the devil," whether that devil comes in the form of negative energies, harmful spirits, or people with ill intentions. Rootworkers would carry these roots in their pockets, place them above doorways, or create condition oils to provide a protective shield and ensure safety. The name "Devil's Shoestring" itself implies its power to bind, tie up, or restrict, making it a versatile component in both defensive and offensive magic.
Similarly, Devil's Walking Stick has a longstanding reputation for warding off evil. Known for its thorny exterior, this root symbolizes the barrier one can create between themselves and those who seek to do them harm. Combining these two powerful roots in our Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil creates a dynamic, dual-purpose oil that both protects and restricts, making it an essential addition to any spiritual practitioner's collection.
Uses and Applications
Protection and Warding: Apply a few drops of Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil to your door frames, windows, or the four corners of your home to create a protective barrier that keeps negativity and harmful spirits at bay. Its presence is said to make it difficult for evil to cross your threshold, providing peace of mind and spiritual security.
Binding and Control: In love work, Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil can be used to bind a lover to you. Anoint a petition paper with the oil, inscribe the names of both parties, and wrap it with a red thread to symbolize the binding of hearts and emotions. This use can enhance the strength and loyalty in a relationship, ensuring faithfulness and devotion.
Tripping Up Adversaries: If you're facing obstacles, rivals, or people who wish to bring harm, anoint your shoes, carry a mojo bag with a drop of this oil, or dress a black candle with it. This practice invokes the power of Devil's Shoestring to trip up and confuse those who oppose you, disrupting their negative influence and turning the tables in your favor.
Ancestor Work: Incorporate Devil's Shoestring Condition Oil into your ancestor rituals to call upon the guidance and protection of those who came before you. Anoint ancestor altars, candles, or offerings with this oil to invoke their wisdom and shield yourself from spiritual harm.

The Legend of the Devil’s Walking Stick: A Thorny Gift from Heaven
Long ago, as the story goes, the Devil was cast out of heaven for his rebellion against God. Angry and filled with resentment, the Devil wandered the earth, searching for ways to sow chaos and misery among mankind. He often tried to find a way back into heaven, seeking to regain his place and continue his battle. But God, in His wisdom, decided to put an end to the Devil’s attempts to return.
To ensure the Devil could never find his way back to the heavenly gates, God devised a plan. He took a thorny plant from the earth, a plant so covered in sharp spikes that no one could touch it without being hurt. This plant was to serve as a symbol and a reminder to the Devil of his exile. God fashioned a walking stick from the plant's thorny branches and gave it to the Devil, declaring:
“You have chosen the path of separation and rebellion. Take this walking stick, covered in thorns, as a sign of your fate. As long as you hold it, you shall be reminded of the pain and suffering caused by your actions. These thorns will keep you from finding your way back into heaven, and you will forever wander the earth.”
The Devil, now holding the thorny walking stick, found himself unable to approach the gates of heaven. Each thorn pricked and stung him, a constant reminder of his fall and the distance that now lay between him and his former glory. No matter how hard he tried, the thorns would push him back, preventing him from climbing back to his heavenly home.
A Symbol of Protection and Boundaries
The Devil’s Walking Stick, with its thorn-covered branches, became a powerful symbol of protection and boundaries. Just as the thorns kept the Devil from re-entering heaven, they also became a tool for humans to ward off evil and negative influences. The plant itself was named “Devil’s Walking Stick” in memory of the legend, and it was believed that its thorns could protect against any harmful spirits or ill intentions.
People would use branches of the Devil’s Walking Stick around their homes, in rituals, or as personal talismans, trusting that the same power that kept the Devil at bay would also safeguard them. By embracing the legend, they acknowledged the power of God’s protection and the importance of setting boundaries to keep negativity out of their lives.
The Legacy of the Devil’s Walking Stick
This story of God’s thorny gift to the Devil resonates in many spiritual traditions, emphasizing the importance of protection, vigilance, and the boundaries that define our spiritual and physical spaces. The Devil’s Walking Stick, with its sharp thorns, remains a powerful reminder that some paths are not meant to be crossed and that the consequences of rebellion against divine order are both painful and enduring.
In the world of Hoodoo and other spiritual practices, the Devil’s Walking Stick continues to be a symbol of strength and resilience, a reminder that with the right tools and faith, one can keep evil at bay and maintain peace and harmony.
