Grains of Paradise (Whole)

1/4 oz Grains of Paradise have a strong magical effect. They’re also known as guinea pepper or alligator pepper, and their botanical name is Aframomum melegueta. They are a common element for the respected ancestors, or Egungun, in Lucumi. Eight pieces of coconut, Red Palm oil, and a single grain of each piece are used to make a ritual offering. Guinea pepper is also said to help with divination. As a Gris-Gris or herbal spell for safety, wrap the grains in a piece of red cloth and bind it up with an image of St. Michael, according to Hoodoo folk magick. For good luck and success, you can place them in your mouth or your shoe. To assure your success when asking for loans and jobs, you can spit them around a bank, court, or a prospective employer’s site.
