Hey! I make videos about HOODOO!

MY EMAIL: w.baxternyc@gmail.com

Hoodoo is a BLACK AMERICAN tradition, a generational heirloom that is simultaneously medicine, magic, and religion.

Do you eat black eyed peas, cornbread and collard greens on New Years? That’s Hoodoo. The peas represent coins, the cornbread represents gold and the greens represent dollar bills, that’s you welcoming and inviting financial abundance into your life for the new year and yes, it’s a ritual and spell. Have you ever been told to not let someone sweep your feet with a broom? That’s Hoodoo. Don’t east spaghetti cooked by a single woman? That’s Hoodoo. There are things you do in your daily life as a Black person that is Hoodoo. That is tradition. That is your ancestors. There’s nothing evil, scary or devilish a bout it. It icy our birth right and you’ve probably always been engaging in it.

Born on North American soil to African parents, Hoodoo is a system of survival, adaptation, resistance and reclamation.
When doctors were not accessible to Black folks, Hoodoo was there. Before an abrahamic god, Hoodoo was there. When Black people needed to tap into their power, Hoodoo was there.

Hoodoo is alive because Black people are alive, because the Earth is alive. 
Hoodoo disrupts, uproots, holds tight, brings near and lets go.
Hoodoo lives and breathes where we do.
Foundational elements of African American life finds origin in Hoodoo.

* Hoodoo is the people, the religion, and the language.
* Hoodoo is found in lived experience.

Therefore, participation in Hoodoo requires blood lineage to Africans trafficked to this land.

Hoodoo is a living religion. We use blood, bones, spit, hair, plants, roots, love - and the air we breathe out - when using words to conjure up worlds beyond our current existence.

We believe that time is circular.
We believe that we are our ancestors returned, and that we, ourselves, will be returned in our descendants.

Although Hoodoo is forever, every generation is built to liberate us from the systemic conditions under which Hoodoo was born.


Hoodoo has universal elements with regional influences. Along with universal tenants and rituals, each region has something that makes it’s Hoodoo special.

The United States is a vast land with varying ecologies. Regional Hoodoo is influenced by the African ethnicities brought to the area (often determined by skill) and local ecology.
