mojo bag
Hoodoo luck sack
A mojo bag is a small cloth pouch containing magical items—roots, herbs, stones, personal effects—carried on the body for protection, luck, or power.
The practice comes from African American hoodoo tradition, also called conjure.
The bag itself holds the mojo: She kept a mojo bag in her purse for good fortune.
