Paganism & Wicca - What Is Wanga?

Wanga is a Haitian word for a malicious magical item or package meant to hurt, but it has also become a catch-all term for any kind of amulet or talisman. 


  • It's also spelt "huanga" and may be used to refer to a charm bag or a mojo hand. 
  • Practitioners of different traditions may see it as a neutral word that isn't inherently evil.
