Black cat bone
A black cat bone is a type of lucky charm used in the African American magical tradition of hoodoo. It is thought to ensure a variety of positive effects, such as invisibility, good luck, protection from malevolent magic, rebirth after death, and romantic success.
''...Got a black cat bone
got a mojo too,
I got John the Conqueror root,
I'm gonna mess with you...''
:—"Hoochie Coochie Man," Muddy Waters''
The bone, anointed with Van Van oil, may be carried as a component of a mojo bag; alternatively, without the coating of oil, it is held in the charm-user's mouth.
== Origins ==
The black cat has been a symbol of both good and ill luck in near-worldwide folklore accounts. Magical traditions involving black cat ''bones'', specifically, have been found in German-Canadian practice as well as in hoodoo; these German-Canadian magic-makers were not previously in contact with hoodooists, suggesting a European origin to the charm.〔
The use of the black cat bone to ensure invisibility, specifically as an aid to people, is comparable to the European Hand of Glory.
