Psalm 23 Mojo Bag

The person who wishs to make a "Psalm 23 Mojo Bag" should gather the following: a prayer card or small image of Christ the Good Shepherd, a prayer card of Psalm 23, three coins, a piece of High John the Conqueror root, red thread, cinnamon stick or chips, frankincense resin, myrrh grains, pyrite, lodestone, magnetic sand, oil (olive oil or peanut oil), and a seven day prayer candle (ideally adorned with image of Christ).

The person should get a red flannel bag or cloth large enough to hold all contents.

S/he will also need Psalm 23 printed on paper with a blank back. On the back of the printed Psalm 23, s/he will write down any areas in which s/he is "wanting:" money, career, job, safety, friendships, love, inner peace, etc. Then, s/he writes across this list with her/his name seven times. Seven is the number of Christ. Seven is the number of the days of the week. S/he will annoint the page with the oil. S/he will fold and wrap the paper around the High John the Conqueror root. Repeating, "The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want," s/he will bind it with the red thread.

S/he will put the High John the Conqueror root (bound up with the printed psalm and red thread), picture of Christ the Good Shepherd, lodestone, magnetic sand, the three coins, cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, pyrite in the bag, and tie it off.

S/he should light the candle. Set the prayer card of Psalm 23 next to the candle.

While holding the bag, s/he must pray the Psalm 23 over it, and state at the end of the psalm once again:

"The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want for money."
"The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want for safety."
"The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want for friendship."

S/he should daily hold the bag, relight the candle, and pray Psalm 23 over it. The bag should be reannointed with a drop of oil each time, s/he prays. Those who love Jesus in their hearts, will have their prayers heard.
