Hot Foot Powder is an old Hoodoo trick that is used to banish someone from your life or home. The base ingredients are usually salt (one or more different kinds) and peppers (ground habanero, cayenne, black, etc). Other ingredients might include iron shavings, red brick dust, brimstone powder, garlic powder, gun powder, or anything else that packs a significant punch.
The purpose of hot foot powder is to make the target feel extremely uncomfortable in the area the user is trying to banish them from. They'll feel a strong urge to leave, and won't be inclined to come back.
When I made some of my own, I did an internet search for common recipes. Many of them seemed too harsh for my liking, and I felt that many of the ingredients were overkill. I was worried that if the powder was too potent, I might risk bringing harm to my target. Obviously, that's not something I want to do. If someone is truly that bothersome and I wish to be rid of them, I want to simply drive them away without causing them any harm at all.
I used four simple ingredients:
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper
- Sulfur
Don't get me wrong, this stuff is nasty. It gets the job done, but it doesn't run the risk of bringing any harm or misfortune to the target. It just (slightly forcefully) persuades them that they need to get the hell out of dodge, now.
Sprinkle the powder over the path of the person you want to get rid of. Wherever or however you administer the powder, just make sure they walk on it! Use it sparingly, though, a little goes a long way! Not only that, but you want it to go unnoticed by the target.
Be sure not to let anyone else step on the powder. This includes pets! Do not consume, or allow anyone else to consume it. Wash your hands immediately after use, and wash it away from the area where you sprinkled it after it has served its purpose.
