High John the Conqueror, an African prince unbroken by slavery, is said to have stored his power within the root of the Ipomoea Jalapa plant.

This dried root has proven a powerful talisman for courage, success, and laughter.  It is particularly helpful for gambling endeavors, and Hoodoo practices note that one need only call out the name of High John the Conqueror to enjoy the benefits of his blessings.
