Set of 4 Railroad Spikes

$20.00

Ancient strength. Lasting protection.

Our Set of 4 Railroad Spikes is a traditional Hoodoo curio, long revered for its power to safeguard the home, protect property, and fortify your spiritual boundaries. Each spike is made from vintage carbon steel and carries the rich weight of history — and every set has been ritually cleansed, blessed, and charged under the Full Moon to amplify its protective force.

How to use them:

  • Protect your home: Hammer one spike into each corner of your property to create an energetic shield around your space.

  • Safeguard your rooms + altar: Place in the corners of your home, under your bed, or on your altar for daily protection.

  • In ritual work: Use in spellwork for “nailing something down” or anchoring your intentions firmly.

  • For offerings: Present to Ogun as a sacred tool of strength and defense.

  • On the go: Keep one under the seat of your car to protect yourself and your vehicle.

For those who want to activate their spikes in the traditional way, heat them safely, pour rum or Florida Water (also available in the Botanica) over them, set them aflame briefly, then cool and anoint with protection oil. This ritual “wakes up” the spikes and seals in their power.

Think of them as anchors of energy, standing guard for your body, your home, and your life.

Each spike has undergone a meticulous ritual, cleansing, blessing, and charging ritual under the potent influence of the Full Moon. This infusion of lunar energy enhances their protective qualities, making them an indispensable tool for shielding your spaces and possessions.

Typically, the proper Hoodoo way to energize their power is to heat the spikes and wake up them up. Simply place them on concrete floor or in a heat safe container, pour rum or Florida Water over them, (which I also have, the Florida Water available in my hoodoo section), soak the spikes for a few minutes and set them on fire. Once the fire is done, let them cool down. Once they cool down anoint the spikes with protection oil. You can hammer 4 spikes in the four corners of your home/space to protect the perimeters. Think of hammering a nail to the wall you'd instead hammer down the spikes into the ground in the 4 corners of your property creating a total field of energy boundary of protection around your home..
You can also place these in the corners of your room or home or on your altar or use in your spell workings for nailing something down.

Offer these spikes to Ogun or keep them under the seat of your car for protection.
