    mojo is, in the louisiana tradition, a lucky charm, but it's got voodoo qualities, so it's a little bit scary.

    like my uncle used to wear his teacher's teeth around his neck in a little bag after he sifted them out of his creamated remains. they were buddhists, but same thing.

    in cuba it's similar, but more of an abstraction - not an actual talisman. it has sexy connotations because it'a also a spice for food and a sort of call-to-rumba.
