Root Awakening

Hoodoo is a terribly syncretic religion, developed as a sibling to Voodoo (and there are other siblings in this family, too). Magickcrafts have been traded for as long as people have been trading spices and weapons, and Hoodoo Conjurers have collected a fantastic variety of tools from their neighbors. There's a lot to learn when you're genuinely interested in improving your craft. Herbalism, including mojo bags (fetishes) and other talismans, are important to this tradition, and practitioners are often called "root workers." Ancestor worship is a little more obvious in this tradition than in many others, but it's also terribly familiar to what you might already see in many forms of popular Christianity. We also look at similarities with Santeria and Candomblé. All this and more.... Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop . Join the Community on Discord .
