HadLock

From Traditional Witchcraft Wiki Project

A HadLock or taglock is a personal fluid or item such as: blood, saliva, tears, semen, sweat, or hair. When a hadlock is taken from a person it may be used to cause intentional harmful effects against that person from which the hadLock was taken from. These items are believed to contain the vital essence and life-force of that person.

In traditional folk magic, "if one has given unto you a special object freely, it is a symbolic gesture to give unto you their will". source needed for quote
