Hot foot powder

Hot foot powder

Hot foot powder is used in African American hoodoo folk magic to drive unwanted people away. It is a mixture of hot, spicy herbs and minerals, usually including cayenne pepper, sulfur, black pepper, and salt.

In the 1930s song "Hell-Hound on My Trail," the famous blues musician Robert Johnson said, "You sprinkled hot foot powder [...] all around your daddy's door / it keep me with ramblin' mind, rider, every old place I go." In 2000, the British rock guitarist Peter Green released a CD called "Hot Foot Powder," containing 13 covers of songs written by Robert Johnson.
