Now you tryin’ to take my life, and all my lovin’ too You laid a passway for me, now what are you tryin’ to do-Robert Johnson “Stones in My Passway” Foot track magic has a past in both Germanic folk magic spells and American hoodoo practices. It involves cursing someone by a wide variety of methods, such as placing stones in a certain configuration in the person’s path, sprinkling goofer dust or graveyard dirt in his shoes, or placing dirt from his footprint into a bottle. The curse can range from giving the hoodoo’d person bad luck or memory loss to causing incurable disease and death. The most common modern use for Foot track magic is to have someone move away from you! Hence why some of the other popular names for this type of magical spells include “getaway”,& “hotfoot”. The idea is that the target will step into the magical powder and get away from you. For this magic to be successful, the target must step in or walk over the powder. One idea of the origins of this type of magic comes from the African concept that magic influences enter and exit your body through your feet. Chinese also believe that the souls of your feet are connected to every major organ in your body, still, I could not find Chinese spells to curse through the feet. There is a large body of spells from the German tradition, where they will say a specific spell while driving a nail into the footprint of the target. In this case, it is called Foot Print Magic! So I guess the first lesson is to always watch where you walk! Hot Foot Powder is one of the oldest and most traditional sachet powders used in hoodoo. It is mainly composed of all manner of hot chili, sulfur and other highly irritating or “hot” ingredients, ground into a fine powder mixed with either talcum powder or cornstarch. Many people will mix the powder with some dirt, to blend it in a little better, making the powder less conspicuous. Hot Foot Powder is a great way to drive someone away without others knowing, and without inherently harming them.
- Drive unwanted people away
- Make enemies leave
- Make others go away
Hot Foot Powder Uses:
Hot Foot Powder is usually deployed by sprinkling it on the ground where your target will walk over it. This works through the principle of foot track magic: magically affecting your target through the feet, as the feet are what carry a person through life. Additionally, a person will typically track substances into their home or car after walking through it thus introducing it into their private space.- Lay down a line of Hot Foot Powder in your target’s tracks when they cross over it, they will be compelled to get the hell out of your life.
- Put a pinch of Hot Foot Powder in their shoes to “hot foot” them out of town.
- You can even dust the tires on their car with Hot Foot Powder to get them to drive out of your life!

- Turn the bundle away from you as you tie it.
