Coconut


Coconut
Coconuts are the drupe or fruit of the Coconut Palm tree. In hoodoo/rootwork/conjure, coconuts are used in domination work and in work where the practitioner wishes to influence or control the mind of the person being worked on. Whole coconuts are used in these works as they represent the head of the target person.

Coconut oil also has domination properties and is excellent to use as a base for domination-type condition oils.

Unfortunately about ten years or so ago I noticed that most grocery stores were selling smaller and smaller coconuts. These smaller coconuts are usually light tan and do not possess much, if any, coconut hair. I was recently at a grocery store and the coconuts offered for sale were literally the size of a softball. I'm not sure what is going on but this trend is upsetting to me. I much prefer the larger coconuts, the ones covered in coconut hair, as they more aptly resemble a human head in size and characteristics.

Note: When workers use coconuts in their practice they are not working with Papa Legba, Eshu, Ellegua, or with any other Loa, Orisha, or spirit from any African Traditional Religion. Instead, the coconut is used to represent the head and mind of the person being worked on.
