Paganism & Wicca - What Is Gris-gris?

Gris-gris is a West African term that originally referred to ritually prepared magical artifacts, comparable to what the Portuguese referred to as "fetishes." 


  • Traditionally, gris-gris was shaped like dolls or fabric parcels. 
  • The phrase does not come from the French term gris, which means "gray, gray," and refers to "gray magic" that combines "black" and "white." 


The term gris-gris is now used to refer to any magical item, charm bag, or spell. 

  • Some people confuse it with magic, although gris-gris refers to a magically charged item produced for defensive reasons. 


MAGICAL ARTS: Charm Bag; Mojo, Paket Kongo.
