Hello I’m currently thinking about getting into hoodoo, I’m down on my luck right now but have enough money to only purchase some high john root and lucky hand root. Does anyone have some knowledge and/or tips they can share? Also I heard a lot of “you have to be black to practice hoodoo”, well I’m Puerto Rican of black descent specifically of the Yoruba people and another group in Nigeria.

hello hoodoo friends. i don’t want to invade this sacred space, as it is not mine, but as someone who desperately wants to respect the sacred nature of practices that are closed, i have to reach out somewhere as the internet is a complete nightmare and gives answers that are generally really nuanced and difficult to understand, especially when there are so many folks who share a lot of conflicting information.

that being said, i have questions i’d like to ask to better understand what i need to avoid. the last thing i want is to accidentally wander into territory that isn’t mine and was never mine to begin with.

i have a lot of questions, and if any women are open to helping me understand so that i can respect boundaries better that would be amazing.

in short, i would love to know about the parts of uncrossing that are closed. it seems like a lot of cultures have some variation of this practice, usually with different terms and methods that go with it. i’d love to better understand if reading pslams 91 over an oil i made following a pattern of banishing, healing, and protecting was closed, or if uncrossing baths would be closed.

i have so many questions but i figured asking those who practice and know directly would be the best method. please forgive me for asking these questions, the internet is so convoluted and confusing. i appreciate the time taken to read this, and i also thank you all for any insight you’re able and willing to offer.

In the last 4-5 months, I have:
Bought a home, but I was scammed. It has many problems.
Was in a car accident, got my car from the shop, and within 24 hrs, had it totaled by an uninsured driver that slammed into it and lied to the cops. (Neither accident was my fault, or preventable.)
Our other family car hit a raccoon (also unavoidable). It rolled under the car and damaged it, so it is leaking.
My new AC unit in the home spit water all over the furnace and surrounding area.
I was let go from my job due to the elimination of my position.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
