Shepherdstown, VA (WFN) -- With a prick of the ears, women are getting their mojos working.

Ladies all across the U.S. are putting on pewter and gold earrings cast from the five-inch-long bone of a raccoon's penis, an item which has been used as a love amulet for years in the South.

The so-called Vavamojos are sold by four Southern gals who call themselves the VaVas and who have changed their lives after donning earrings made from raccoon "pecker" bones.

VaVa "Mustang" Sally Johnson discovered the good-luck charm on a boar-hunting trip in South Carolina, and immediately picked up a batch for her and her girlfriends to wear.

Their line of earrings, necklaces and amulets are made from precious metal instead of real bone because, as Sally says, "we didn't want to decimate the penile population of raccoons in America."

Celebs are hopping on the Vavamojo bandwagon too. Sally says Vanessa Williams loves hers and Sarah Jessica Parker wore hers during a "People" magazine cover shoot.
