Hoodoo

Hoodoo is a traditional African American spiritual practice that combines elements of African, Indigenous, and European beliefs. It involves rituals, charms, and herbal remedies aimed at influencing personal outcomes such as health, love, protection, or success. Hoodoo is often practiced using specific objects like mojo bags, roots, and candles, and relies on the practitioner’s intention and knowledge. It differs from Voodoo, which is a structured religion, whereas Hoodoo is more of a folk magic system rooted in personal and community practices. It emphasizes practical use and personal empowerment through spiritual means.
