In our everyday lives, unseen forces can work against us. Sometimes, bad news comes from nowhere, or evil energy tries to disturb our peace and progress. But our ancestors in Africa never left us helpless. They gave us natural, simple, but powerful ways to stop negativity from reaching us.
One such protection is the cotton wool–alligator pepper ritual, combined with the mysterious power of time soils and the binding energy of black and white thread. This direction is not just symbolic—it creates a real spiritual shield around you, blocking every arrow of misfortune and every voice of bad news.
Why These Materials?
-
Cotton Wool (Cotton in English, “kotin” in Ghanaian markets):
Soft, white, and pure. In spirituality, cotton represents innocence, purity, and a clean vessel. It absorbs energy and holds it firmly, becoming a protective cover against intrusion. -
Alligator Pepper (Grains of Paradise, “Efom Wisa” in Twi, “Ataare” in Yoruba, “Awerewa” in Ga):
Known in Ghana and across West Africa as the seed of truth and protection. Alligator pepper carries fire. It resists evil, exposes lies, and seals your aura with courage. -
Needle:
The needle is a spiritual pointer. It redirects sharp arrows sent against you back to the sender. Just as a needle pierces, it ensures evil cannot penetrate your shield. -
1 am & 1 pm Soils:
Time has power. Soil collected at 1 am (deep night) carries the energy of hidden things, mysteries, and unseen battles. Soil collected at 1 pm (broad daylight) carries the energy of exposure, truth, and manifestation. Combining both balances night and day protection. -
Black and White Thread:
Black absorbs and silences negativity. White attracts peace, clarity, and blessings. When tied together, they form a powerful yin-yang balance—stopping evil and allowing only good to pass.
How To Prepare For The Protection
-
Spread the Cotton:
Lay a clean piece of cotton wool flat on a table or mat. -
Place the Alligator Pepper:
Count out 9 seeds. Nine is a sacred number—it seals and completes energy cycles. Place them carefully in the middle of the cotton. -
Add the Needle:
Put one clean needle on top of the seeds. -
Sprinkle The Two Soils:
Add a pinch of soil collected at 1 am and another at 1 pm. This unites your protection against both hidden and open dangers. -
Wrap with Cotton:
Fold the cotton over everything, covering the items inside like a baby wrapped in cloth. -
Tie Firmly:
Use both black and white threads to tie it securely. As you tie, declare, “From this day, no evil will reach me. No bad news will enter my life. I am sealed in light and protection.”
How To Use It
-
Keep this protection charm in your bag, pocket, or under your pillow.
-

-
You can also bury it at the front of your house or office for permanent protection.
