Rootwork/ Hoodoo: Origins and Powers
Hoodoo is an African-American system of folk magic, mixed with European folklore famed for “come to me” sprays, good luck powders and money-drawing floor-washes. Its practitioners are called “doctors”, “conjurers” or “spiritual workers” and its products are made with secret elements. Its roots lie in the fusion of immigrant and native lore in the southern states of the USA.
The colorful history and differences from pagan rituals will be discussed along with more unusual ingredients, their uses and attributed powers. The ingredients (including John-the- Conqueror root, Florida water, goopher dust and hot-foot powder) will be on hand for those who have never seen them.
