Many long years have passed since we could offer Devil's Shoestring which is a powerful protection talisman often used in root work, but also revered for use in modern protection rituals. This root is said to cause the Devil's shoelaces to be tied so he is unable to chase you and to cause misfortune. Essentially this means you are protected from the Devil's handiwork and dabbling into your life. You may burn a small piece on your altar or with your powder incense, but the most effective use is to carry a small piece in a bag or place a bag of it inside your home or business.
