Hoodoo not only comes from our ancestors, it is also the power of our ancestors. It is not possible for those who try to work the roots without an ancestral connection because African and African American ancestors who practiced and carried on the traditions are the foundation of hoodoo itself. Understanding who your ancestors are and what it means to work with them through the practice is a core part of rootwork.

Why is this content protected?
The internet has become an incredible platform for sharing about rootwork and helping our community connect with each other to reclaim our heritage in these traditions. Unfortunately, publicly posting also opens up a whole world of possibilities for cultural appropriation, spreading misinformation, and other issues…
For all these reasons, the Library is only accessible to those who have an approved Library account in order to keep all the content in the hands of those who truly can practice hoodoo. Only people of African descent have the ancestral link to rootworking traditions that is necessary to practice them.
