High John is a strong laxative if taken internally. The root has strong cathartic and purgative properties. Historical Uses:  laxative, constipation, purgative Mystical Attributes:  John the Conqueror, also known as “High John the Conqueror”, is a figure from African-American folklore and the spiritual system of Hoodoo, said to be the son of an African King. He is a folk hero rooted in the oral traditions that emerged during the era of slavery in America. High John is often portrayed as a clever and resourceful trickster who outsmarts his oppressors. He represents the indomitable spirit of enslaved people and their ability to find ways to survive and resist oppression. John helped unify the slave community to escape from slavery. He symbolized freedom. Despite his enslavement, his spirit was never broken. The root of the plant was used during slavery in the United States by African Americans to protect from slaveholders. Some people set up altars, light candles, and offer drinks and cigars to petition High John for help. The spirit of High John is believed to inhabit the root of the plant, which is sometimes worn, stored in secret places of the home, and added to red flannel mojo bags (concealed below the waist for attracting a lover). African American Hoodoo practitioners place High John roots inside mojo bags for victory, empowerment, and protection from evil. High John is often used in sex spells. It is likely that the root acquired its sexual magical reputation because, when dried, it resembles the testicles of a dark-skinned man. Because of this, when it is employed as an amulet, it is important that the root be used whole and unblemished. The thick thread-like root tuber is rubbed while casting the sex spell. High John is used in candles, sprays, and incense.
