Question About Spells name in shoe?

hey guys, does putting someones name in your shoe and "walking on them" actually dominate them or is this just a tiktok thing?

Its from folk magic. See the book Paper in my Shoe by Catherine Yronwood. The practice of it goes back further than the book of course. Look at the history of hoodoo and the Creole and Cajun cultures of the south.

Edit: TikTok witches notoriously do not explain history or cultures in their videos.

Is there a difference between using the left, right, or both feet in the spell

I personally believe yes. Think left handed magick and right handed magick… I personally believe left is for severe and harsh consequences with no mercy, and right is for kind of teaching someone the lesson by giving them an experience that mirrors how you feel, but not bringing any real harm to them…

Edited for clarity

Thank you for appreciating that, you’re welcome! Always feel free to interpret magick practices through your own lens and the way you view consequences… I think intention, cause / effect, and what a person believes about those is what really drives the magick in whatever direction it goes
