These cloth-bound packets containing botanicals and powders are a kind of Vodou amulet or talisman. Many are stunning, made of luxurious fabrics, tied with silk ribbons, and embellished with feathers, mirrors, and/or sequins.
- Empty paket kongo are occasionally created into objets d'art by craftsmen because they are so lovely.
- Genuine paket kongo are handcrafted and magically strengthened during spiritual ceremony.
- They're made under the auspices of Simbi, the magic's patron snake lwa.
- The size, color, and substance of these items are determined by their function and the spirit to which they are devoted or thought to contain.
DIVINE WITCH: Simbi, as well as Gris-gris, Lwa, Mojo, and Talisman.
