In this episode, we dive deep into the significance of Hoodoo Heritage Month, which is celebrated during the month of October. Here's a short summary of the episode:

  • I explore the roots of Hoodoo, its development by enslaved Africans in the U.S., and how it has evolved by blending African, Native American, and European traditions.
  • We discuss syncretization between Hoodoo and Christianity, focusing on how this blending allowed African spiritual practices to survive under the guise of Christian practices.
  • I share my journey with Hoodoo – how my intuitive grandmother influenced me and how joining my first coven in 2016 solidified my practice.
  • Stories about my family cemetery and honoring my grandmother, especially on the 5th anniversary of her passing.
  • Reflections on my favorite types of altars – from simple ancestor altars to more elaborate bóvedas influenced by Caribbean traditions.
  • Ancestor veneration as a way to stay connected to the past, helping reconcile different aspects of self and identity, particularly as a Black American.
  • Tune in for a collective card pull designed to offer ancestral wisdom during Hoodoo Heritage Month.
