Come on in!

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’ve been praying to my ancestors for guidance, and I truly feel like they’ve led me here. My roots run deep in early North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi, so I know I come from the same land where Black rootwork and conjure have always lived.

The one person in my family who practiced rootwork was my grandmother, but she passed away right after I was born. Because of that, I never got to learn from her, and the stories and practices didn’t get passed down to me. I’ve felt that loss, and I know I want to reconnect with that tradition, real rootwork and conjure as my ancestors practiced it.

I’ve had my ancestor altar up for years, and I pray, talk to my people, and do my best to honor them. My boyfriend’s family runs a monthly witchcraft market in…

Hi Everyone! I'm headed on a road trip to my homeplace, and I thought it would be cool to post some of our favorite travel graces we use as we embark on the road. As we know, our ancestors had to navigate a racist US South and used tools such as the Green Book to do it. However, something I do (family tradition) is to keep a black tourmaline under the driver and passenger seats, and always to start the trip with a prayer. What rituals or practices do you hoodoos use when you want some Traveling grace?

Hello ,

I’m seeking a recommendation for what to read so that i can begin to understand Hoodoo. I’m interested in knowing what the practices mean for our community and what it would have meant for my ancestors, some of whom practiced.

I’m still at the beginning of my journey and i don’t know enough to know what I don’t know and there’s a large list of books out there. Where should I start?

Thank you
