I know about graveyard dirt, been into Santeria for a while now, but I hadn't seen whole eggs use with graveyard dirt, and white ribbons. I think the lady I mentioned was just bullshitting. Since the conflict started after the cup was messed with, I think it was there to prevent conflict. Graveyard dirt isn't just used to malicious purposes, and eggs can be used in a shitload of ways. But, color correspondences mean what they mean, and I've yet to find a negative correspondance for the color white. As for hoodoo being voodoo...Voodoo is more the religious practice whereas hoodoo is just a practice, the same way summoning entities is just a practice, a tool.

Somewhat off topic, but I once used white as a correspondence for suppression - at the time, suppression of anger, but it could be employed in a similar manner towards suppression of any other energy (I figured white, as in the way a face might turn white when drained of blood, and then thought of 'draining' the energy of anger out of the situation for diffusal. Transmutation into something else seemed risky in it's context.)
Everything can be used for good or ill, with a little creativity.
