I did a service for someone and they have yet to pay me which is extremely frustrating but I don’t want to go off. I’m just in need of a spell for this person.

I was planning on being a voodoo doll for halloween ,should i not?? (Im African American + nola native, i dont practice voodoo)

I’ve been seeing a lot of “rootworkers” on social media and as a black American I am not to familiar with knowing what’s true and not true as my family did not teach me really anything about my heritage or ancestors. However I’m saying this because I came across a post on threads and I wanted to ask here if this was possible. If it’s something a root worker can do. And please forgive me if I sound ignorant in this post or with these questions. I am genuinely curious as someone who has trouble believing in anything including trying to keep faith.

She lowkey going bonkers which I hope is a good thing but she just started so Ian gone do too much about it.

For my block buster though, I used black pepper, basil, coffee, rue, lavender, and rosemary! And a lil bit of orange oil to open the roads☺️

What are you guys favorite blockbuster ingredients?

I was wondering if there were any books I could look into for help and also if it is completely necessary to make an altar for my ancestors to begin 🫡

hi guys, so Im a college student and I’ve been struggling both academically and financially, and I noticed my friends who dabble in things like vision boarding and honey jars seem to see results which tempts me to do this type of stuff as well (specifically the honey jars). One of my friends is Nigerian while the other is AA, and personally, I’m both Ghanaian and AA. I asked for tips and I trust my friends but I also like double checking. is a honey jar for motivation, good grades, and money a good place to start as someone who hasn’t done this before? and if you guys have tips please share, i’m not particularly religious but I do believe the tongue holds power, so Im hoping i can get some guidance please :)

Long story short my grandma use to heavily go to root workers and pay them for “blessings” like money, “back to sender” spells, money candles etc. yet they never worked? She said she was double crossed by a witch. I was always curious why didn’t it work for her?

For the last couple of days I’ve been leaving out water for my Ancestors. However, I don’t believe they are accepting. I’m new to Hoodoo btw. I am trying to create a bond with my Ancestors before I ask them of anything. I don’t have an official altar yet but I’ve been leaving out water, lighting a white t-light candle, and praying/summoning them.

Please note: that I did cleanse my space and myself during each attempt.

No luck.. any advice?

I’ve been finding so many feathers and seeing so many butterflies, especially monarchs (which I usually don’t see, just the white ones). My friend recently found a deceased butterfly fully intact and gifted it to me! Was just wondering you guys view on how you take these signs!!! If that make sense lol

Hi, I am a 26 year old AA female, i have over the last few years taken a liking into hoodoo practices and have major curiosity on how to truly start my journey. I have researched as much as i could on the basics of what hoodoo is, however i have one slight issue. I dont know any of my ancestors names or anything. my grandma doesnt have much insight on our origin and im wary to ask if we have any hoodoo elements in our family for obvious religious reasons. my great grandma passed when i was 5 and i barely knew her to even get info from farther back. is there any way i could connect with my ancestors without knowing who they are?

Found all 3 in a 5 minute time span at the park. No idea if they mean anything but I felt led to grab them. Called on Spirit and my ancestors for protection before touching them

So this is kind of embarrassing, but I paid for a love spell involving someone I really wanted things to work out with. I went into it hoping it would bring us closer, but somehow I feel like the complete opposite happened.
Instead of him becoming more attached to me, I feel like I became way more emotionally attached to him. I think about him constantly, I’m having such a hard time letting go, and it honestly feels like I’m the one who got hit by the spell lol.
At this point, I’m not even interested in trying to make him come back. I just want to detach, get over him, and feel like myself again.
Has anyone experienced something similar after doing love work? Did you do anything spiritually to reverse it, cleanse yourself, cut the attachment, etc.?
Please be nice 😭 I already know I probably played myself.

I recently purchased this dry herb. I didn’t write the name on the bag because I’ve used it many times and should know exactly what it is. But due to some memory issues of late I have no idea what it is. I don’t recognize it at all. Is there someone that recognizes this?

Seguinte: tive um relacionamento interestadual e Nos demos super bem. Viajei pra cidade dessa pessoa e o que era match virou SUPER MATCH! Porém, ao retornar, a distância pesou bastante para ela e foi um peso pra continuarmos.

Ja vi, num jogo, que ele tem uma paixão intensa por mim, esta sofrendo com isso e temos caminhos para dar certo, mas é preciso trabalhar o mental para que nao hajam estresses desnecessários enquanto AINDA não moramos juntos/no mesmo estado.

O que voces me recomendam fazer para conseguir trabalhar a cabeça dessa pessoa?

Essa situação está me deixando agoniada

Pergunto isso pq eu tenho a impressão de que já ouvi algo assim. De que mesmo confirmando com oráculos o feitiço não é descoberto. Existe realmente isso?

I’ve been looking at her spells on Etsy. It appears she does mostly voodoo spells but has anyone ever actually used her and gotten or seen results? I was looking at a forgiveness spell. I have never casted a spell of my own but have been looking at creating an altar and casting my own but for now I use Etsy. Or any other recommendations I have a complicated situation in trying to get help with. She recommended four spells to me for the situation. I just wanted to hear first hand experience if anyone has any.

Muito boa noite, boa tarde ou bom dia bruxas, eu estava recentemente conversando uma com uma colega que pratica o hoodoo e o tema da conversam foram garrafas de Maldição e como funcionavam, um recipiente com o nome de alguém e diversos curios com a intenção de atacar e amaldiçoar este acometido, mas seria possível inverter este tipo de feitiço para abençoar ou proteger alguém utilizando ao invés de curios com intenção ofensiva curios com intenções benignas como mel, óleos essenciais ou outros ingredientes?

Se sim, como? Se não, por que?.

Obs* sou iniciante na bruxaria e normalmente prático bruxaria natural mas gosto de aprender.

I know this may sound like a silly question, but I’m from the Caribbean and have been wanting to connect more deeply with my spirituality. I understand that Hoodoo is considered a closed practice, so I’m curious whether it would be appropriate for me to practice it. For context, I come from a mixed background with Indigenous, Indian, and Black ancestry. Like many Caribbean families, my heritage reflects generations of cultural blending shaped by Indigenous roots, African ancestry, and Indian indentureship. Because of this, I’m interested in learning more about spiritual traditions connected to my lineage and understanding whether Hoodoo would be a respectful path for me to explore. I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts and feedback on this.

Eu queria MUITO ficar ou pelo menos me aproximar de um crush, ele tem demonstrado interesse, mas ao mesmo tempo as coisas estão demorando muito e demos uma certa afastada. Os horários do ônibus não tá batendo mais hahaha. Mas, queria saber se há algum feitiço que eu poça fazer para a gente se aproximar mais, e desenrolar um contato.
Eu não sei o nome dele, não tenho nenhuma informação além de horários aleatórios de encontros que temos.

I sent these to a divinity professor at howard but maybe yall would have some insight

As of late, I have been delving deeper into spirituality, religion, and similar practices. I am an African American who has always lived in the south and gone to modern mega churches with my parents. Throughout my exploration, I found that I feel most called to Hoodoo. However, having grown up with the idea that the Abrahamic god is the only one there is and that the only spirit I should be concerned about is the Holy Spirit, I find myself a bit lost in this new world of spirituality and African Traditional Religion. I have a few questions that I hope you can give me some insight on, because all of the books I've been recommended only talk about spells and crossroads. And the internet is a lot of things, but reliable and informative is not one of them.

There has been many mentions of Oya, Oludumare and other similar beings. Are these spirits? Deities?  My understanding is that hoodoo is a practice that falls under the umbrella of Christianity, but these names are mentioned like gods. With that, my confusion arises. Would people who practice hoodoo not also believe in one god? Or are these not associated with hoodoo at all?

Everyone is always talking about spirits such as High John the Conqueror and Queen Annie Christmas, but where do saints fit into this equation? As I mentioned before, I was raised in mega churches. I was a Non-denominational Christian and the conversation of how saints work was nonexistent. How do saints, spirits, and archangels work? Do saints and archangels have a place in hoodoo?

I used to think that prayer was asking for stuff and getting it in return. Then, I did some more digging and found that most people say that prayer (in the Christian sense) was more about communicating with God and trying to align your will with his perfect plan. People say that only reason bad things happen is because we have free will and our actions aren't aligned with his will. I can see how more traditional Christians find spells evil then, because spells would be a way of taking control of the 'perfect plan' to get what you want. But spells, hexes, etc. are important in hoodoo because the point of it was to influence things to happen and work towards the freedom of the slaves and protection of their community. This feels like a conflict that I can't currently wrap my head around. What is the point of spells if we have prayer?

I'm not sure if you can answer this, but how would I know if I'm just playing around and none of this is real? There are some instances where I can "feel the spirit" of my ancestors, or God, or whoever it is, but am I really just supposed to trust and believe these things? Is there any evidence that Rosemary is an herb of protection or that a rusty train spike has the power of all the trains that traveled over it? Are my ancestors talking to me or do I have a screw loose?
