Hoodoo, not to be confused with Voodoo, is a type of folk magic based mostly on African rituals, customs and lore.

When African slaves were brought to America, they were stripped of their religious beliefs and familial connections. However, much of their magical practices remained. African-American rootworkers acquired herbal knowledge from Native Americans. Later, when the United States was influenced by the resurgence of Hermetic magic that spread across Europe, African-American rootworkers began studying Kabalistic traditions. The result was the mixing of folk magic with Judeo-Christian sources, such as incorporating the Book of Psalms in various spells.

Comment by Patricia Fross on October 19, 2022 at 8:24pm: Yep, I agree. All good thoughts and points, thanks!

Comment by Linda M. on October 19, 2022 at 6:25pm: I tend to gravitate to Africa, African based music, ancestry, practices, etc. I believe I had a past life in Africa.

Comment by Linda M. on October 19, 2022 at 6:22pm: Actually you mind more people with hoodoo down south, and oddly people with not as much money. You tend to forage for what you need, which, as a kitchen witch, I've always done.

That being said, if you gravitate towards a practice, are drawn to it, then you are supposed to be there. I'm on a few groups on fb.
