These spikes were collected ethically from beneath the shadow of Turtle Mountain, also known as the mountain that moves. This mountain was responsible for the most deadly landslide in Canadian history. The local natives warned the coal miners that no settlement should be made at the base of the moving mountain known as turtle mountain. Local lore said that the mountain could be seen and felt moving and that one day it would crush any who settled at its base. At 4:10 in the morning on April 29, 1903, it did just that and within 100 seconds took the lives of nearly 100 people living at the base of the mountain.
In folk magic railroad spikes can be used in works of malefica, protection, and prosperity. A spike staked into the ground of a target's home once quenched in materia diaboli can be used for baneful work. Two crossed spikes quenched in herbs of protection can be used to guard your door against harm and take the hits of any magic sent your way. Four stakes driven into the four corners of your home can be used for protection, as well as can be used for prosperity when herbs of abundance are added to the quench, and work wonder for keeping you in your home. You do not need to quench them for these spells to work, intent, some anointing oil, and a few spoken words is all that is often needed when working these. Other things such as nailing a target's name into the ground of a graveyard, or nailing down the shadow of a person's home, or perhaps nailing your desires to manifest in a business are all things that these can be used for. The uses are many and numerous, iron that has been worked and harvested in the shadow of the untimely dead is a powerful materia to add to a number of spells.
The most popular hoodoo spell that employs Railroad Spikes is a work to secure one's home or land. This spell may be used by renters and home-owners alike. Tenants use it to keep the landlord from moving them out. Owners use it to keep the mortgage company at bay, to prevent a sale by eminent domain, or to stop greedy family members from trying to sell off the old home place for quick cash. Those who live in an apartment can substitute smaller Square Cut Nails for the Railroad Spikes.
Iron is a conduit for energy, and the fact that these have been used in the railroad and have also been harvested from the shadow of the moving mountain gives them some extra potency for protection and malefica both.
We offer these spikes as plain or you can purchase them heated and then quenched in herbs. There is an old alchemical philosophy that whatever herbs iron is quenched in will then lend their properties to the metal for all manner of spellwork. We have tested this and found this to be true.
If you purchase them quenched please allow time for us to do the magic required. For baneful works we will wait until the waning moon, for abundance works we wait for the waxing moon, for protection we do work on the full moon or dark moon depending on the herbal blend selected.
Typically purchased as a set of 2 or 4, however single nails are still very useful for many works.
You could also charge these at home like any other materia, cleanse, consecrate, bless, anoint in an appropriate oil, herbal blend, or spellfire and you're off to the races.
NOTE: these spikes range from anywhere from 100 to 20 years old and as such each spike will have varying degrees of rust, tarnish etc. The rustier ones still work absolutely fantastic, especially for making war water, protections, and malefica. The use of Railroad Spikes in magical spells, especially in the hoodoo tradition, is based upon their value as forged iron, and the fact that they have been used. Much like used and rusty horseshoes, these qualities enhance their power so greatly that few root doctors would consider employing a shiny or new Railroad Spike in any sort of spell.
