Pancho Villa Amulet

This lucky charm is based entirely on the concentrated magical powers of the Mexican revolutionary hero Francisco ‘Pancho’ Villa. Villa was a guerrilla commander who fought against the dictatorship of President Porfirio Díaz during the Mexican Revolution. After the revolution, Villa was portrayed as an icon by the new government, although it was suspected that he had been killed by the same government. For supporters of the dictator Díaz, Pancho was a bloodthirsty bandit, but for the majority of the population he is still regarded as the ‘Mexican Robin Hood’.

To activate the spell, the magic pebbles are placed in the small cloth bag and sprinkled with a few drops of the revolutionary flavouring provided. Then read the prayer aloud, close the bag and always carry it with you from now on. For a particularly lasting result, repeat the ritual daily. 

The prayer asks for support in a difficult matter and for general protection ‘... just as you helped the needy and fought the powerful and fought back your enemies, I ask for your protection, that you may keep evil from me and give me the courage I need to overcome this difficult situation...’
