Guide to Hoodoo For Beginners: Hoodoo is a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic
Hoodoo is a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic. Also known as
conjure, it is a tradition of magical practice that developed from the syncretism of a number of
separate cultures and magical traditions.
Hoodoo incorporates practices from African and Native American traditions, as well as some
European magical practices and grimoires. While folk practices like hoodoo are trans-cultural
phenomena, what is particularly innovative in this tradition is the "remarkably efficacious use
of biblical figures" in its practices and in the lives of its practitioners.
The dominant worldview in hoodoo is usually strongly Christian. Historically there has been an
Old Testament strain in hoodoo thought. This is particularly evident in relation to God's
providence and his role in retributive justice.
