About Buckeye Nuts
In Hoodoo, buckeye nuts are considered to be potent good luck charms. The nuts are picked while still in their green spiny jackets which are then peeled away, leaving the bare nut. The nuts are allowed to dry and oiled daily until they reach a rich, deep, brown color. The method of oiling in the folk tradition is by rubbing the nut alongside the nose where there is typically a natural concentration of oil produced by the skin.
