Hoodoo is an African American folk tradition that was born right here in the United States out of survival. When our ancestors were stolen from their homelands, stripped of their languages, and forced into a new “religion,” they still found ways to keep what they carried in their spirit alive. They used what they had access to—roots, prayers, signs, dreams, and the Bible—to protect themselves, heal each other, and push back against the systems trying to break them. Hoodoo wasn’t created to be cute or aesthetic. It was created to work.
This practice is for African Americans who descend from the enslaved in the United States. Period. Hoodoo is tied to our bloodline, our history, and what our people had to endure and overcome. That doesn’t mean folks can’t learn about Hoodoo or respect it, but practicing it, teaching it, and profiting from it as “Hoodoo” belongs to the people who created it through lived experience. If you don’t share that DNA and that history, your lane is to honor your own ancestors and your own traditions.
And I’m going to be very clear because the internet loves to mix everything together: Hoodoo is not Wicca. Hoodoo is not modern witchcraft. Hoodoo is not an ATR. It can sit alongside other paths for some people, but it is not a prerequisite to anything and it doesn’t need to be blended to be powerful or valid. Hoodoo is the main course all by itself.
Soulaani Hoodoo stands for doing this work with integrity—Bible Conjure that’s grounded, disciplined, and accountable. No spiritual tourism. No flashy promises. No trying to cosplay what our ancestors bled for. This is for the ones who want clear discernment, strong protection, open roads, and a real foundation they can stand on—without the gimmicks.
