Ipomoea jalapa is this plant's scientific name. The MOST popular root in hoodoo and magick! It's expensive too! These roots are almost always 5 bucks a piece, and often the root is old and lacks potency. Sometimes, the roots being sold aren't even authentic High John's:( So I was glad to come across these so I could pass them along to my hoodoo hunnies! These are lovely, fresh, whole roots-not pieces or slices. High John's have an unmistakable earthy-smoky smell- you can smell the Ashe' in these!

Any working for success, luck, prosperity, manifestation, drawing, attraction, power, or gambling will call for this root. It can be added to any spell for extra power.
John's story-
John the Conqueror was an African prince who was sold as a slave in the Americas. Despite his enslavement, his spirit was never broken and he survived in folklore as a trickster figure, because of the tricks he played to evade his masters.
In one traditional John the Conqueror story, John falls in love with the Devil's daughter. The Devil sets John a number of impossible tasks: he must clear sixty acres of land in half a day, and then sow and reap the 60 acres with corn in the last half of the day. The Devil's daughter furnishes John with a magical axe and plow to use for these impossible tasks, but warns John that her father means to kill him even if he performs them. John and the Devil's daughter steal the Devil's own horses; the Devil pursues them, but they escape his clutches by shape-shifting.

In "High John De Conquer", Zora Neale Hurston reports that:
like King Arthur of England, he has served his people. And, like King Arthur, he is not dead. He waits to return when his people shall call him again. . . High John de Conquer went back to Africa, but he left his power here, and placed his American dwelling in the root of a certain plant. Only possess that root, and he can be summoned at any time.

Listing is for ONE MEDIUM root. If you'd like a pair, please purchase TWO and specify in the "note to seller: that you would like a MALE AND FEMALE.

Be Blessed!
