How to Work with the Three John Roots:With Confidence. With Respect. With Results.

Let’s walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Working with the Three John Roots isn’t about throwing some dirt in a bag and hoping for the best. It’s about building relationship, reverence, and right intention.

Here’s how to work with each root with confidence and respect, the old-school way — with a modern twist that still honors the ancestors and the spirit of the work.

High John the Conqueror Root

For Power, Luck, Attraction, and Personal Mastery

Respect the Root:

• This root carries a powerful, masculine spirit. When you get your High John, sit with it. Smell it. Hold it. Speak to it. Tell it what you need — power, success, protection, sexual confidence, etc.

• Anoint it with condition oil (like High John Oil or Fast Luck Oil) to awaken its spirit.

Work It Like This:

• Carry it in a red flannel mojo bag with other ingredients (grains of paradise, lodestone, five-finger grass) for money, success, or gambling luck.

• Feed the bag weekly with whiskey or a bit of oil. Talk to it. Yes — talk to it. Your words breathe life into the work.

• For sexual power, pair with a drop of your personal fluid and wear near your hips.

Respect Tip:

Don’t toss your root out carelessly. When its work is done, bury it respectfully near your home, a tree, or crossroads.

Dixie John Root (Low John)

For Love, Healing, and Family Peace

Respect the Root:

• Dixie John is about the heart and the home. It’s a gentle root, tied to feminine energy and nurturing bonds.

• Wash it with a mild infusion of rose or Florida water and let it dry in moonlight. Speak love over it — say the names of those you wish to heal or draw closer.

Work It Like This:

• Add to a honey jar with the names of family members or a lover for sweet reconciliation.

• Wrap it in pink cloth with a lock of hair or photo and anoint with Love Drawing or Healing Oil.

• Place it under your bed for peace in the household or to encourage commitment from a lover.

Respect Tip:

Keep it wrapped respectfully when not in use. Don’t mix Dixie John with aggressive or warlike spells — it works best where love and compassion are the goals.

Chewing John Root (Little John to Chew)

For Legal Matters, Speaking Power, and Victory in Court

Respect the Root:

• This root is ingested, so it’s more personal. Wash your hands, cleanse your space, and pray over the root before use.

• Ask the spirit of the root to lend you eloquence, clarity, and favor in judgment.

Work It Like This:

• Right before court, chew the root while praying or saying affirmations like: “Justice is mine. Truth walks with me.” Swallow the juice, and spit the “cud” discreetly (ideally where you won’t get arrested — timing is key).

• Use the powder to dress a white or brown candle. Write your petition for legal success and burn the candle on a Monday or Thursday.

• Add powder to a honey jar with your name and the judge’s for sweet persuasion.

Respect Tip:

Use only a small piece. Don’t over-chew or swallow large bits. Always store in a clean, sacred space.

Tips for All Three:

• Cleanse Before and After: Use smoke (sage, cedar, or frankincense), Florida Water, or sound (bells, singing bowls) to cleanse the roots and your hands.

• Feed Your Roots: A drop of oil, a spoken prayer, a small offering — just like ancestors, they respond to attention and care.

• Keep Your Word: Don’t ask the roots for help and then slack on your end. They work with you, not instead of you.
