Gris gris, or "Mojo bags" are small folk magick charms used in the folk practice of Hoodoo. Gris-gris are small cloth bags or pouches filled with herbs or other ingredients, used as charms for a variety of purposes including protection, attracting love or money, etc.

Mojo bags are directly related to the wanga charms of Vodou, and closely related to sympathetic charms used in Wicca.
