Please enlighten us JoMadness, on the "right way" to make a honey jar for protection. This would be the first time I have ever seen a recipe where protection wasn't a side note to the main intent in regards to hoodoo or voodoo works.
Hoodoo was orignally meant for protection and healing and sorry for the late reply, but I been busy. There's different types of honey jars not just those designed to sweet someone towards you. You would change what you throw in the jar to roots, herbs and oils for proection such as sage, salt, etc. even a charged up rosary will be great and the Petition to aim at protection rather then sweeten someone towards you. Since Hoodoo isen't an offical religion and there isen't a right to wrong, it can very versitatle. Why do you think there's money, court, love, revenge honey jars ? Your receipe just has to be intended for the purpose. Many people just don't use it as a protection because there's many other ways to gain protection as well.
Yeah I don't think there are any Legit sources for a protection Honey Jar. Honey Jars are usually made to attract (money, Love, etc) however they aren't a protective work. They are a sweet work.
Nothing wrong with doing a bottle or jar work for protection. But it is not a "honey jar". There are jars for healing and honey can even been done for healing, but the concept of the honey jar is for sweetening and drawing something to you. This wouldn't be a "honey jar" it'd just be another work with a medicine bottle or jar.
I honestly think this is yet another case whereas people they can inter-mix Hoodoo, Voodoo, & Voudou with wicca, paganism and everything else under the sun. Thankfully with these 3 specific paths it doesn't work that way. Finally praise God, a set traditions untainted by Chaote values and eclectic confusion. :-P
"Hoodoo was orignally meant for protection and healing"
No. Not at all. That is a very lady-hearted view and completely inaccurate.
Hoodoo was for poor people to give themselves an upper hand in a society that was constantly finding new ways to oppress them.
Protection and healing were part of the practice...but it was NEVER "originally meant" to be the whole of the practice. Those old timers would cross someone up just as quickly as they'd cleanse their house.
There is a difference between a *jar* work, and a honey/sweetening/sugar *jar*.
Either way Hoodoo was still used for protection and healing. Slaves would use powders and whatever necessary for protection or revenge towards their owners. I may be wrong for labeling it a protection honey jar, but still it's very possible to make a jar containing nothing but herbs, oils and stones and actually instead of honey you can maybe use salt for protection. For that matter then yes, it can be considered a medicine jar as VooConjure stated. But, like I said before it's very versitiale and you can combine religions and things together. As for Voodoo as a relgion. It started as a relgion in Africa, but was then combine with other traditions. In America when the slaves came over they were forced to convert their relgion to Catholic because of their owners beliefs, so you what you have is the two relgions combine of Voodoo and Catholic, so that is why saints coordinate with other religion's saints. But, mainly Voodoo is about the person's experience, responsiblity and empowerment.
