Lucky Hand Root

Lucky Hand Root (Orchis root) is a worked with in Hoodoo and folk magic as a talisman for good luck. Naturally shaped like a small hand with outstretched fingers, it symbolizes grasping opportunity, holding fortune, and drawing success firmly into one’s life. Often added to a mojo bag to increase luck in gambling and games of chance, Lucky Hand Root is worked to steady the hand, sharpen instinct, and help winnings stay close. To prepare, cleanse the root, lightly carve or inscribe it with personal symbols or intentions, then wrap it in cloth most commonly red for luck or green for prosperity. Carry it on your person or place it in a secure location where fortune is desired. Repeat affirmations or prayers regularly to further enhance its power, as a form of ‘feeding’ the root.
