Red Brick Dust/Polvo de Ladrillo Rojo
In traditional New Orleans Voodoo, red brick dust is one of the most powerful and popular minerals used for protecting the home. After scrubbing the front porch with Chinese Wash or a mixture of urine and Essence of Van Van, red brick dust would then be spread across the threshold to keep bad energy and enemies from entering. Spread some of Voodoo Mama's Red Brick Dust across all thresholds of your home, including windowsills and doorways to keep evil away and to form a protective barrier.
Voodoo Mama's Red Brick dust is ground by hand from old bricks gathered from a local ghost town in the Southwest combined with red bricks from New Orleans. This ghost town is notorious for its paranormal activity and mystical energy. A classic wild west boomtown, it's history embraced bootleggers, opium dens, copper mining, prostitution and gambling and attracted people from all over the world in droves seeking riches and a freer life. After the bricks are collected, they are smudged with sage to insure they do not retain any negative attachments. After they are smudged, they reside for a period of seven days on my Marie Laveaux altar with offerings to receive the blessings and protection from the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.
In addition to being used by itself as a protective barrier, Red Brick Dust can be added to floor washes, used to fix candles, added to mojo bags and gris gris, and added to doll babies for its protective qualities. According to oral tradition, it can be sprinkled over any evil conjure to nullify its effects.

About Red Brick Dust
But where did this practice come from? One can only surmise; but, the fact of the matter is that red ochre clays have been used medicinally and ritualistically since the earliest of times. For example, medicinal use of red ochre clay is described in the Ebers Papyrus from Egypt, dating to about 1550 B.C. (Ferguson, 2006). And, ochre pigments were used by Cro-Magnon artists who painted prehistoric cave paintings in southern Europe between 32,000 and 10,000 years ago.
