Origin & Lore
Jinx Removing is one of the long-standing named condition oils of hoodoo, used to remove crossed conditions and stop a streak of misfortune. It is worked in baths, on candles and in floor washes. Practitioners often follow it with a luck or blessing oil to fill the space it clears.
A jinx in hoodoo is not just bad luck; it is bad luck with a cause, and causes can be removed.
Jinx Removing has been sold as a staple formula for generations, one of the economical old-standing oils that customers asked for by name. It belongs to the uncrossing family of hoodoo, alongside Uncrossing and Hex Breaker, and is used in the bath and floor-wash work described throughout Southern folk practice.
Did You Know?
The word jinx is often traced to the wryneck, a bird the ancient Greeks called iynx and tied to a spinning love charm of the same name.
