The thoughts of Yurugu does not count when it comes to our traditions or for any of our Afrikan ancestral traditions!! Gatekeeping is a priority to preserve what is rightfully OURS!! NO EXCEPTIONS!! Conquering our collective spirit, our collective soul is the last frontier for them. Stay focused. Stay rooted.💯💯💯
Totally agree with you on this one! It's OUR practice from OUR ancestors, any opinions other than OURS are null, void, and don't matter. In my opinion, if you ain't African American keep it pushin, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR US! No offense to anyone but all other groups/ethnicities/cultures have their own spirituality... HOODOO is ours. I totally agree with Hoodoo initiations or any other innovation that adds to the practice...if our Ancestors did not innovate with what they had then we would not have a practice today. The only danger I see with adding things in is that some stray TOO FAR away from the root and it becomes a break off practice that is unrecognizable to the origin. As far as the payment for initiation...one must acknowledge "the law of exchange" ... you not getting something for nothing, whether spiritually or physically... BUT the way some of these spiritualist move remind me of the mega church...all transaction and no spirit!!! You struck a cord with this one!!!
There is no initiation process in hoodoo, there is an initiation process in voodoo. People get the two mixed up. One is a religion/voodoo, and the other is a magical practice/hoodoo. Hoodoo is apart of your everyday life, voodoo is more ceremonial in nature.
Comments like these showcase our ignorance and lack of experience… but thank you for the comment … Initiation into a Hoodoo lineage while not “necessary” does and has always exist , Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston is an amazing book to pick up where she details her three Hoodoo not Voodoo initiation experiences… blessings to you
Now I don’t know much about atr’s or hoodoo even through I am a practicing witch myself. But paying your 2ay to anything is bad. Like the person is going to without studying and I might have a hunch the white elder of your student is like most people that do that with so many things it is not just spiritual. I have had weird cases where people have acted that way about history or any form of education. When it turns out the person went in reality to a diploma mill. While spending years like do studying on my own in whatever free time I had in history let alone the type of witchcraft practice too. To then go and still study as much and more studying history in university which I also had to pay for too.
I don’t know much about hoodoo I am very interesting in it and learning it, though I do feel people should be initiated in because it needs to be held sacred and not be given to randoms. Just how Native indigenous Americans don’t tell their spiritual knowledge and they keep it between their tribes passed down by word of mouth from elder generation to generation. They don’t write any of it down and not everyone can know the knowledge or language. I feel hoodoo tradition needs to be held the same and not letting all others in, it’s so upsetting to me. It looks so weird and off when they do and at the same time talk down on it. It’s so upsetting to me.

Wrong hoodoo is a path into itself 100% every other path has it own systems
