Working for Justice with Hoodoo

Hey Everyone,

As I had stated a few days ago, I have been working on retooling an important lesson from my intro to rootwork class that specifically addresses how Hoodoo can be used for justice work in our communities beyond interpersonal magic toward a more comprehensive approach. This working does not answer everything, but it WILL give you a means and toolset to address larger justice issues from a Hoodoo perspective. I was inspired to do this after attending Yamil Henriquez’ class on the same subject from a Latin folk magic perspective. I wanted to show similarly from Yamil how the Hoodoo traditions I practice could weave together something effective like this and get results.

Within you will find a more involved candle magic ritual that allows you to target specific people or institutions. There is also a brief discussion of how to negotiate the boneyard, leave payments and retrieve what you need to collect. There is also the option to create a mojo of sorts that can be carried on your person as you protest, visit legislative offices and speak up to the powers that be. Remember, this is just one way to leverage spiritual practice to achieve justice in the midst of social evils; there are many other ways from other traditions.
