JACK BALLS
What is a Jack Ball?
Although they resemble a pendulum, jack halls are similar to mojo bags in that they each hold objects which are believed to attract or repel certain energies.
Jack Balls can be used like a pendulum to divine yes/no answers to questions and to locate people places and things. However, unlike a pendulum a jack ball can also be used in magic to exert an influence over people and things.
How to Make a Jack Ball
To make a Jack Ball you will need:
- Cord or Yarn
- Scissors
- Needle
- Candle
- Personal Items Belonging to Individual.
- your chosen herbs
Step One
Collect the personal items (hair, nail clippings, bits of cloth, bodily fluids, etc.) Burn these and mix the resulting ashes and dried herbs with wax from a dripping candle. Roll the wax into a ball.
Step Two
Wind the yarn around the wax ball. For the
purposes of this blog post I'm using a wad of paper in place of a ball of wax.
Step Three
Rotate the ball while winding the yarn around it
until it is completely covered, leaving a tail of roughly 12 inches.
Step Four
Thread the tail through a large needle and run
it through the center of the ball and out the opposite end.
Step Five
Thread a length of yarn on the needle twice the
length of the jack ball's tail. Run the needle through the ball at the base of
the tail.
Step Six
You now have three tails. Braid the three tails
so that they make one large tail and tie off the end.
Step Seven
If you desire you can tie nine knots in the tail at equidistant points. Otherwise, your jack ball is finished.
