Sometimes there ain't a damn road at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is water where you expected ground. Roots where you meant to step. Fallen timber blocking the easy way through, and another path disappearing around a stand of cypress where you can't quite see what comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut something still gets through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater finds the opening. Roots find somewhere to take hold. Animals make trails where no trail existed yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd sometimes that's what road opening really looks like.

You only have to do one or two simple things to activate it to work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will need to feed it and reinforce the relationship you've established with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCypress Road Oil is made specifically for this gris gris and is the same oil used by Mama Sha' while preparing the original working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace a single drop of oil into your palms and rub them together. Clap your hands together once or twice and feel them heat up. Then hold your gris gris in your hands while bringing its job clearly back into your mind. Please do not drown the poor bastard. Literally, one or two drops in your palm is plenty!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more you hold your gris gris and push energy into it, the more effective it will become working for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed it when the working feels as though it needs attention, when you're preparing for an important opportunity, interview, meeting, trip or transition, when things begin feeling stagnant again, or simply as part of your regular maintenance of the working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis isn't about constantly \"recharging\" something that has somehow gone dead.
