In addition, suitable herbal mixtures still come to the subject, sometimes also strength stones, roots, little flowers etc. in addition.

Hoodoo salt crystals were used in the classical national magic mostly as a bath product. As the first preparation one took a small bucket, filled this with warm water and added a handful of salt crystals, then one stirred hard. One put this bucket beside the bath, he was still used at the end of the bath ritual.

The Hoodoo bath was prepared as follows:

One let first in hot water and gave in addition the suitable amount in Hoodoo to salt crystals in the water. One mixed the salts with a cooking spoon (not to burn itself the arms), until these had resolved completely. Now only the bath temperature was put by supply of cold or warm water. While the water ran, one provided to himself another Schöpfgefäß and searched for himself, for the magic suitable smoked work from to lay this on the ready lighted smoked warmer. Sometimes one strewed something else of the salt crystals and suitable herbs round the bath and before the bathroom door to strengthen the magic. If the water had run completely, one sat down in the tub and poured to himself with the help of a small tub over and over again somewhat of the bath water over the head. At the end of the bath ritual one positioned himself in the bath, took the prepared little bucket and poured it to himself in a flood over the head and body to dismiss through this the magic and to activate therefore.

The herbs swimming in the water were collected to Baden again and were strewn according to ritual in a river or were buried, also burnt in rare cases. Some crystal salt mixtures as for example the monetary blessing salt crystals contain even today as a symbol for wealth and monetary blessing Pyritkies. One would have this earlier at the end of the bath ritual gathers and as a luck bringer in the purse kept.
