I don't think comparing it to fire is wise, especially if ur attempting to refute Satanic/demonic claims. Any spiritual system can be used for both Good or bad. However, humans are flesh driven & ego filled and will usually use Hoodoo for the wrong, self serving reasons...which is one of the reasons it has a bad reputation. People thinking they can play God, better than God...and forgetting God is the beginning of it ALL lol!😅 I have more appreciation for the few people who use it to compliment their relationships with God; those who do the works of God through their spirit...allowing God to use them as a portal. That's the REAL magic! 😅#KeepGodFirst

Allow me to properly educate you my name is Hakeem I am a Hoodoo practitioner it isn’t used for evil it’s not really a magic system it’s an ancestral practice Hoodoo is a closed practice exclusive to African-Americans and those who have been granted passage Who do is about peace love wisdom & unity of between one self and those who came before us….. I suggest before you speak on a practice that you’re clearly ignorant and oblivious to understand the difference between the different traditions that constructs African spirituality as a whole Plus if you’re talking about ego driven people I think no one beats the Abrahamic religion at that

I used to want to do Hoodoo more until I learned about the elitism, lack of consistent information and hierarchy without a tradition of such hierarchy. People pollute spiritual spaces with their egos & agendas and it causes chaos; the exact thing spirituality is supposed to alleviate. It's best to learn the basics and live in a way that represents what you believe and not be so hung up on labels. Religion and spirituality rubs ppl the wrong way, when they watch peers abuse and misuse such sacred things. It's sad. Anyway, I wish you all luck and love on your spiritual journey.

Religion is usually structured, dogmatic, etc...Hoodoo is in what we eat, say, do, etc. Some people confuse traditions with Hoodoo and misinterpret it as religion by injecting foreign concepts. For example, a lot of people have adopted the practice of creating alters. That is not Hoodoo. We traditionally maintained sacred spaces. Some people swear by this color candle and that color candle, that is not Hoodoo. My point is that Hoodoo is not religion.

The religion labeling was interesting as well (religion as defined in the dictionary). If one’s goal was gatekeeping then it would be a beneficial thing to add the religion label but it would change things l, perhaps in ways that wouldn’t benefit.

This is interesting dialog. I agree that Spiritual practices are more of a tool. As a tool it can be applied for either good or bad. Also, most African Spiritualist whom I’ve met have a clear distinction between religion and spiritual practices. Spirituality engages an alinement with universal laws (laws of nature) in order to bring what you want into fruition. And religion is based on belief. And belief is not a stable foundation because belief systems have inaccuracies; and are only relevant when a collective people support the belief. Belief systems and scriptures are often historically misinterpreted and perverted into extreme ideologies. And religious beliefs are always imposed upon victims for the purpose of servitude.

It's not true, but since Kashi literally means "sht", I could also present specious, fallacious commentary presented as fact like Simon Dyda did.

I (respectfully) don’t believe the dominant force of Hoodoo is African… you can’t even taken from a continent on the other side of the planet, and know how to manipulate the local plants, herbs, and roots if you don’t ALREADY have an understanding of what they are. In my (respectful) opinion, at least the rootwork aspect is mostly from Black Aboriginal / Indigenous Americans who were enslaved on plantations, and amalgamated with the SMALL number of Africans from the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

It depends on who is looking at it. If one is trying to get their religious/spiritual validation of the Western world then certain criteria must be met. If not, then the practices are seen as "other" or as something to be commodified. You can see that with Buddhism and Hinduism and how commercialized some of their practices are in the Western world, it's a novelty (Buddha statues, appropriation of certain deities in Wicca/Neo-Pagan spaces, etc). All the other cultures can speak out about this kind of stuff to get some of that respect back, as you see decolonization is a buzzword these days, but as soon as Black folks enter the chat, the mood changes and we don't "have a religion" and our heritage is evil or demonic or whatever bs people try to come up with.

Paganism was a prelude of the incarnation of the Christ. You can say that Christ is the spirit/breath of the world. Within the Old Testament this is foretold. From the Old Test of the Mental to the New Test of the Mental. Within theosophy they talk about the 4 sacrifices from the beginning of creation of Man, and what the Christ has done for us. Without those sacrifices we wouldn't even be here. Jesus - G's us - He's us (spanish). He's the one who is regulating our body so we would not be(have) like wild human animals. So wisdom can be found all over the world. But we have to look for it through all the distractions. There's a lot of shit to dig through. Sure, there are mutiple gods/angels/stars but everything has to come from one Source of everything. The one Creator of All which is beyond our understanding (perhaps for the best). Try your own selves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye (fail the Test) be reprobate. Mankind elevating to a higher consciousness. But this can't happen for some when the powers that be are trying to divide and conquer humanity. And opening portals or conjuring spirits from a realm isn't really helping either. A body can be taken over so that this individual is a mouthpiece for evil spirits. You can see what's going on today. Marxist, Communistic ideologies hiding as social justice economical welbeing for everyone, rainbow in your face, flooding into the West. Teaching children to be trans, cutting of your Johnson is preached by the new prophets of medicine as a normal activity. This an abomination that causes desolation.

His mother came home crying with her clothes torn and her face badly bruised and bloody. Manny’s older brother Daniel ran to the small field that they had where their father Roman was plowing. Roman was a tall man and very fit built man with a full black and gray beard. His hair was very short and he had some balding in the front. His skin was the complexion of very dark red clay. Father please come quick! Its mother! Their father quickly drops everything that he was doing and ran as fast as he could to the very small humble house his wife and three other children were sitting in. He ran passed his eldest son and runs through the door almost running over Deborah; his small daughter. Once inside the house he saw Manny and Manny's twin brother John crying at the foot of their mother. Their mother was sitting down and she was in tears and she was cleaning off the blood from her face with a rag. Her clothes were torn as if she had been attacked by wild animals and both her eyes were swollen shut. Their small daughter who almost got ran over, was so frightened that she ran outside. Their father dropped to his knees right by the door not coming near his wife and cried so loud that their small house seemed to shake. He slowly got up and slowly walked over to her, he gently touched her face and lifted it up and he saw it up close and he cried out softly. Their father told the older boy to run and get their sister who had run outside. He grabbed some wet rags and helped clean her as much as he could, still crying. He knelt down and finally spoke his first words to her. Kaydra, what happened? He already knew what the answer was; knowing the type of man his wife worked for. He had a reputation and Roman did not want their mother working for the man but they needed the money and she had promised that she would avoid him at all cause. Manny's mother Kaydra was not the main servant and she mainly worked outside, washing clothes and cleaning the yard and taking care of the animals. But their mother was a beautiful woman and even though she dressed very modestly her beauty could not be hidden. She was average height and she had a very shapely and tone build of a woman who worked hard. Her skin was the color of dark roasted coffee, and she had beautiful long black wooly hair that she would often cover when she was out of the house. She had a face that was very youthful for a young woman with four children and a hard life. Roman patiently waited for his wife to compose herself before telling him what happened. While feeding the horses, the master of the house had come inside the stable. She saw him as he walked inside and she kept her head down and continued working. In the corner of her eye I saw him say something to the other workers that were cleaning by the doors and watched as they walked away and left the stables. Her heart started beating fast as she saw that she was left alone with him. Lord Kegan stood around six feet talk and was big and stature, he had very wide shoulders and he was built like a soldier although he never served in the kingdom army, He had medium brown skin and he had short wooly hair and like most men, he had a full beard that was black and grey and very well mannered. She quickly finished what she was doing and tried to walk past him with her head down. He grabbed her arm as she walked past. Where are you running off to; he said as he pulled her towards him. I have more work to do my lord and I want to make sure that I finish everything before the day is done. He touched her face and gently moved her head up. You are too pretty to be working so hard and this hot sun. How about I put you in a more comfortable position and get you out of these old rags and into something much nicer. Still very nervous and not wanting to look at him in the eyes. Whatever job you need me to do, I will do it. What's your name? Kaydra. He grabbed her and pulled her closer to him and she pulled away gently. He laughed; that is not how things work around here. He pulled her closer to him again. She pulled away but this time more aggressively and he became angry and he shoved her on the ground with all his strength. She fell on her hands and knees and as she turned her head towards him, she saw him undoing his trousers. She quickly tried to get up and run away but he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground. He got on top of her and tried to pin her arm down and lift up her dress but she fought and fought with all that she had. The harder he tried the harder she fought and she would end up biting him as his hands was on her mouth. That angered him so much that he started punching her and slamming her head on the ground finally knocking her out. She woke up in a small pool of blood with her clothes torn and she could barely open her eyes. She stumbled to get up and when she walked outside, she saw some workers looking at her and some trying not to look at her and continued doing their work. She cried out but nobody wanted to get involved. The woman of the house lady Linda ran outside; who is making all that damn noise? Her husband lord Zegan Troy was standing a few steps behind her; looking at Kaydra with sinister smile. The woman saw Kaydra bloody and beaten and she knew what had happened to her. What is the matter with you girl and why are you yelling so loud on my property? Kaydra points behind lady Linda to her husband. He beat me!!! He raped me! Lady Linda did not even look in her husband's direction before responding to Kaydra. Whore! You come to my house and let every farm hand and worker mount you and now, what you expect? Didn't you get what you asked for already? You want money? You want to accuse my family for you being a whore in heat? Kaydra looked around for someone to defend her but everyone looked away. GET HER OUT OF HERE! The woman of the house yelled. Bloodline Sacrifice wattpad GethroBataille

I liked the video however I disagree with a few of her points. Hoodoo is not religion. The concept of dark or black magic is not relevant. Hoodoo workers are bound by the ase of their specific bloodlines. Some people are gifted with spiritual abilities more than others. It has absolutely nothing to do with concepts such as the divine feminine. Hoodoo is hot. Which means it is not a love and light spiritual practice. It was specifically formed to be both offensive and defensive. A worker may be gifted in left handed workings while others may excell in both hands. Unfortunately a lot of appropriators of hoodoo have sold much misinformation to the public for profit. Hoodoo is not a hodgepodge of African, Native American, Jewish influence. A true Hoodoo worker knows this and can tell you why people make those assumptions. Hoodoo is Hoodoo all by itself. Hoodoo is not the new place to inject new wave religion or feminist concepts. That has nothing to do with Hoodoo, never did. Finally in the language of Hoodoo, a rootworker is not a conjurer. They are very different understandings. A person can become a rootworker but you have to be born a conjurer.

Hoodoo is a very matriarchal so maybe that's why she is associating it with divine feminine energy? Idk... not to diminish her research but I feel like her sources kept a lot of information from her knowing she was coming to discuss it with ppl not of our community. Her intention is there but her information is less than accurate. Calling hoodoo dark was off-putting and as a Haitian, my ears were up when I heard Vodou mentioned. This topic is best left to practioners to discuss, but she'd be hard pressed to find one who'd be open and willing! Smh

@@SavySentient I agree with most of what you said except for Hoodoo being mostly matriarchal. We need to stop letting feminism taint our culture. Those that were spiritually gifted were either male or female. We as a people were not concerned with matriarchy/patriarchy talk. We were trying to survive....we descend from tribes were spiritual gifts were passed down through men, women, or both. We have to stop using the philosophy of other cultures to define our cultural male/ female dynamic. It's a distraction

@@tehmu it’s very common knowledge between those who do light and dark work that warlocks are not very common.

Love your content and thank you. However I believe native Americans with very deep roots in that culture/nationality needs to be more recognized because African Americans came and combined their religion with native Americans hoodoo and we are United on that front . Even in disneys Pocahontas hoodoo is practiced. I feel completely disconnected from reality when I don’t practice my rootwork due to work or moving. Love your content . It’s about time we speak up about hoodoo and I have over 100 books on both hoodoo and voodoo . I’ve only used voodoo and made alters and asked for blessings from deity’s like Elohim Gibor El shaddai in my most crutching time in life and they protected me along with my ancestral alter asking for their help and guidance. All I request is please don’t forget that native Americans played a large part in hoodoo as well. Please don’t let my history be dismissed like the white man did when he took over our country. Thank you ma’am for your content ❤

Also I offered those deity’s that saved me with alters dedicated strictly to them offering gold their color their symbols I just didn’t ask I paid my respect my dues before I asked for anything . People need to remember to pay the respect that the plants in rootwork deserve as well bless you to the ground in which this wormwood grew thank you for finding your way to me and cleansing can not be expressed enough before doing any conjure divination manifestation work . Especially with ancestors always remember to keep out the evil ones and stay protected .

Hoodoo is not Available to everybody. The whole point of Hoodoo is the African American experience. Our ancestors used this spirituality and magic for justice, healing, and to protect themselves from their oppressors. If you don’t have African American ancestors that what ancestors are you calling on and venerating? The slave masters? Everything isn’t for everybody and it’s nothing wrong with that.
