A mojo is a good luck charm referred to in many blues songs. It consists a small pouch with minerals Jade silver gold or other luck items as prescribed by your voodoo doctor/ psychic whatever. Howlin' Wolf had his mojo workin Jimmy had a mojo risin and Albert Collins had a mojo hand (A spades and K spades) as far the old doors song goes it means whatever you want it to ........hell it's only R&R

In Spanish, 'mojo' simply means 'gravy'.
I do not know how the L A Woman can 'keep her gravy rising' - since one hardly uses any self-raising flour for making gravies !
...Perhaps there is some idiomatic meaning for the expression.
