===== Magical Uses =====
This herb wards off evil when worn around the neck, and protects its bearer against accidental poisoning.

Gamblers carry devil's shoestring as a good luck charm.

Cut the root into small pieces, place in a jar filled with whiskey and spirits of camphor. When you need power of any kind, take out a piece of root and rub your hands with it. Then use the root in the appropriate way (ie., if money is desired, place near money or in the wallet).

A piece of devil's shoestring carried in the pocket while seeking employment (or while having problems at work) will either help you get hired, or will smooth out the difficulties. Also carry when asking for a raise in pay.
