High John the Conqueror Root

John the Conqueror Roots are some of the most used, varied, and powerful amulets used in Hoodoo. Roots are used for luck, controlling and mastery, and for male sexual energy and power. It is said that the folk hero John the Conqueror (John de Conquer), who brought joy and laughter to the enslaved people of the Southern United States lives within the roots.

Following is a song that exemplifies the power and use of a John the Conqueror root written by Willie Dixon, and recorded by Muddy Waters on his 1964 album Folk Singer.

My pistol may snap, my mojo is frail But I rub my root, my luck will never fail When I rub my root, my John the Conquer root Aww, you know there ain't nothin' she can do, Lord, I rub my John the Conquer root. I was accused of murder in the first degree The judge's wife cried, "Let the man go free!" I was rubbin' my root, my John the Conquer root Aww, you know there ain't nothin' she can do, Lord, I rub my John the Conquer root. Oh, I can get in a game, don't have a dime, All I have to do is rub my root, I win every time When I rub my root, my John the Conquer root Aww, you know there ain't nothin' she can do, Lord, I rub my John the Conquer root
