This has been on my mind for a while but tbh if you aren’t a descendant of enslaved africans in america you aren’t practicing Hoodoo. While I appreciate the afro-latin homies, I’m tired of y’all feeling like you have room to speak on what is and isnt hoodoo.
No shade all tea, how can a practice born under the influence of oppression and slavery in america benefit someone under the oppression and slavery in latin america—or anywhere else. This is a problem with the umbrella of Blackness. They are not the same and I really wish we could have a conversation about this nuance within Hoodoo.
It’s also cringe considering the amount of anti-blackness I’ve seen exhibited by afro-latin “Hoodoo” practitioners.
Hoodoo as it is and has been, is more so like a gateway tradition where people connect with their ancestors then go to some other ATR. But I genuinely feel there’s unspoken centering of none 100% AfAm’s within certain spaces of Hoodoo practitioners and I’m 100% over it.
2021, Hoodoo isn’t a catch all for any body Black. If that makes you mad, take it up with your ancestors.
Wishing stones are stones with a naturally occurring, unbroken quartz line that goes all the way around the stone. There may be other lines and inclusions, but to qualify as a wishing stone there needs to be a dominant unbroken line around the circumference. Finding such a stone is a stroke of luck in and of itself.
Legend holds that whoever possesses the stone can make wishes on it indefinitely, so long as the stone is not broken. Some say you can trace your finger along the stripe, close your eyes and make a wish. If you make a wish for yourself, it is said to come true by believers. However, if you make a wish for someone else, it is believed that wish will come true along with all of your own wishes.
I find and hand select our wishing stones for their look, geologic composition, and feel. They are cleansed of dirt and debris and lightly oiled with a special ritual oil to bring out their natural shine. None are polished- every stone is in its raw natural state. These wishing stones are found on our land, which was manifested in part through the use of such a stone in creative visualization. To manifest something, your focus must be laser-like and wishing stones help immensely in that endeavor.

Boss Fix Oil is used when you need to create harmony in the workplace, stop a supervisor from harassing you or are trying to get a promotion or raise. Boss Fix formulas are designed to have a dual function - it is said they can sweeten your boss to you or they can help you dominate and control them.
Found this shaman’s stone this morning. A shaman’s stone is a naturally occurring near perfectly round stone, also called a moqui ball or moqui marble. Shaman’s stones are concretions of iron and sandstone or hematite. While not plentiful, I have found quite a few on our land. The energy these stones have is amazing. I just love them. I feel like I’m holding the secrets of the universe in a perfectly round Elder stone that has seen thousands or even millions of years of history of the earth. And in that experience, the answer to anything can be found when you open up and tune into that frequency … Completely connecting to Mother Earth, the eternal grandmother and grandfather, in perfect balance.
People access the stones’ energies to find balance emotionally and spiritually. I find them great for divination, too.
Often they are worked with in pairs - kind of like lodestones and High John roots - they are male and female. You can anoint them with a ritual oil; rubbing them with oil is a good way to connect to them and their mysteries.
If you are looking for practical conjure tips, tricks and advice, this book is for you. The Crossroads Mamas have brainstormed a list of random workings and advice drawing from their combined backgrounds in rootwork, New Orleans Voudou, Native American conjure, Spiritualism, Santeria and Palo. All of the works come from the Crossroads Mamas themselves from their years of experience and practice in the conjure arts and African Traditional Religions. We hope to inspire others to come up with their own conjures on a moment’s notice, just as our ancestors did in their time of practical need.

Ch6 The Broomstick Equestrian of Congo Square: New Orleans is not known for witch hunts like Salem, but in the summer of 1844 a “bonafide witch of the Congo school” was arrested to be burned at the Place de Armes at 4:00 in the afternoon.

Ch3: Baron Samedi: When most folks think of Voudou they envision a flamboyant skeletal pimp or red-eyed, evil demon ready to steal your soul. Aside from the red-eyed evil demon part, that’s not a bad descriptor. We know him as Baron Samedi, and though he may be scary to some, we know him as a raunchy, fun-loving spirit who loves children and dispensing justice.
When Africans were brought over in bondage during the Transatlantic slave trade, they brought their gods with them. In the New World, their gods were organized according to nachons or nations. Among these nations are the Guede, the family of spirits to which Baron Samedi belongs. Baron Samedi is head of the family of ancestral spirits called Les Morts (the Dead) while Papa Guede presides over the Guede.
Baron Samedi stands at the crossroads as the gatekeeper to the Ancestors. He is the all-knowing Spirit of Death, a sexual loa noted for disruption, obscenity, and debauchery. Although he appreciates adult themes, he absolutely loves children and protects them with all his power.
Manifesting success means different things to different people. For me, land is my gold. Good friends and family are my treasures. Being able to make a living as an author is my dream. When I manifested my current homestead, I hit the jackpot. It was more than I could have imagined. Be sure when you are manifesting your desires that you are open to receiving gifts that may be wrapped differently than you expect, and that when opened, reveal more than you ever imagined. #manifestationmagic #lawofattraction #hoodoo #conjure #rootworkersofinstagram #Rootwork #neworleansvoodoo #witchylife #witchcraft (at Saint Johns, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYiLcCPh4V/?utm_medium=tumblr
Now that I have your attention, I have gotten numerous messages about fake profiles who have stolen my content and contacted my followers via dm for readings. A few things to note: 1. I never contact followers for business reasons or anything else. I do not do dms on Instagram. 2. Instagram could give a shit about fake profiles. They do not remove them usually. 3. If you are contacted by one of these imposter accounts, please report them for spam. Instagram will remove spammers. 4. I am unable to report because these accounts block me so I cant see them or interact with them. I appreciate those of you who report them for me. . There are at least five such imposters contacting y'all. I appreciate everyone giving me a heads up. If I have not responded to your dm it is because I don’t do dms and do not check them regularly. That said, I attempted to respond to some today but there are simply too many. Y'all have my back and for that I am forever grateful. .
