Color-Coded Pins for Hoodoo Effigy Work

Contrary to what you see in the movies, rootworkers (and vodouisants for that matter) do a lot more with effigies and doll babies than just stick pins in them to cause harm. In fact, the use of pins is hugely contextual - they can be used to heal as well as harm, to focus in on one particular area or aspect when working on a person physically or mentally.

To that end, I've bundled these up by color for those who know they need a certain color and don't want to just take their chances fishing through the multicolored boxes at the fabric store hoping they got enough and wondering what they'll do with all the blue ones they don't need or whatever. Sizes and colors may vary a bit from batch to batch but I try to keep all the ones in the same vial the same.

10 glass-beaded pins are cleansed, consecrated, and packaged in a corked glass vial suitable for display if you have your own cabinet of curiosities going. Vials may vary slightly depending on my supplier.
