Hoodoo is the expression of my souls magic, the rhythm of my mind, body, and spirit, as I interact in the earth realm. It is the connection with the divine, and my people all the while being of service to God, myself, and my people. Thank you for your video, it was informative and inspiring.
xolani, you are a teacher's teacher! thank you for breaking the historical + living definitions of hoodoo so clearly. biggest blessings + gratitude for you
Xolani! I love learning from you. Thank you for all of your offerings; they are deeply and exponentially nourishing. Light & progress to you & yours all ways, always
doctor Xo! every time i come across your content my heart leaps for joy! still beaming from the candle working course last summer. always love learning from you sib. hope to take another course soon. you are so loved! 🧡
I did not know that hoodoo is a Black only spiritual practice. There's a pretty well known company which sells supplies and teaches Hoodoo Rootwork . Owned and run by a woman who is definitely not Black . ??? What are your thoughts on this?
Don't buy it. Queen Cotaliyah( sp) she is ordained and her tools and lessons are legit. You don't want to buy "snake oil" from some hippie. Also you don't have to buy bells and whistles. For instance plain salt for protection to repel, basically for anything. Basil money and luck. Pepper, dress plain candles,etc our ancestors didn't have a lot so when you see someone telling you need this, this this they're lying.
Also don't go to botanical We have to be careful because they're magic is not African. Do not buy from Mexicans. Any Hispanics from the island(Cuba Puerto) they are safe.
I thought about needing to be serious about looked up and it was 111. Came to RUclips and your video is the only one I actually FELT! I love it here already. I’ve only ever subscribed to one other account! Now I have a new one to subscribe too! I’m excited 💕
I don't know if this is for me because I cannot ever see me incorporating worship of a male entity such as the Christian god. I am drawn but this is a hard and fast wall I don't want to get around.
Yes me too. I like calling it Source or the Universe. Thinking of the most powerful force as having only a male pronoun is unbalanced and part of male supremacy or the patriarchy. I like when we see balance of what is most high or even without these finite concepts
Xolani, thank you for this insightful teaching about Hoodoo. Your video just appeared as a suggested video for me to watch (I wasn't actively searching for it), and I'm glad that I watched it. You explained things very well! And thanks for shouting out my Iyanifa, Dr. Funlayo E. Wood at 17:36! I'm a new practitioner of Ifa, and she is my primary teacher. 🙂
You are magik and every word you spoke was filled with so much life. Thank you for blessing us with this info, and I will do my best to be apart of your class . I am currently based in Europe and would like to know if you planned to have live video classes or would you be uploading the class? thank you again this video, stay beautiful and have a great rest of your week
Hi Beloved! Thank you for watching and embracing this offering. I would love to have you in class! It will be a lecture + lab-style learning experience with pre-recorded AND live classes. Everything (pre-recorded lectures and live labs) will be recorded and available for viewing for 1 year for the folks who sign up for intensive. Class time is generally 11a EST, which is 5p CET. I hope you can make it and I genuinely hope the rest of the videos in this series nourishes you as well. Continue thriving! 💙
@@xolani Ok perfect!! I will try to organize my schedule to be present during the live class but I’m glad I will also have access to them ,even if I am not. I look forward to it because it’s not everyday you find a queer lead hoodoo class. Thank you again for making yourself available,Stay Beautiful and I will see you in class, if not before 👑
I am root worker and i have dreams and signs. I like the fact that you explained the holy ghost. Black people swear hoodoo isn't deep in the church.😂😂😂😂
Welcome! I have a few videos on my ADHD journey (it's time for the 6 month update). I can't wait to see how you grow and hope to be a helpful resource in your life. Thank you for being here! 💙
Hey all, I'm struggling to find hoodoo practitioners in my area. I'm in OKC and I've noticed there are a lot of witchcraft / wicca around here, even some white folk claiming to be hoodoo practitioners. Naturally I want to form community with elders / experienced practitioners but I feel a little defeated that I cant find that in person. Any solutions? Or does it seem like I'll have to go the digital route fully?
To me it's very interesting how blck americans see afro religions and think it's only for them. But I think that's becouse y'all aren't as mixed as we down here in Brazil. Here we have Candomblé which is an acutal religion and not only a practcie. But all people are welcome to be a part of it. Cuz here you may look branco, but have back ancestry.
great video only thing that troubles me is your origin story doesn’t begin early enough. john clarke said “when we start historicization with slavery everything since seems like progress” this was also greg carr’s criticism of the 1619 project. we need to begin describing african spirituality in africa first and go forth from there for these iterations to be deeply educational and not merely informative
Thanks for watching the video and for your concern. I believe there are many ways to be deeply educational and that this offering does honor the African roots of Hoodoo. Specific examples and links between continental African spiritual practices and Hoodoo are made in the Black-only spaces that I curate, instead of on public platforms such as this. 💚
First I know I am mixed and have European ancestors. I am trying to learn more about hoodoo because it called to me but when I called on my ancestors to help me. 4 came one was black, one was native, one was French and the last was Roman. So I am not sure if this is ok or not. But I embraced them and just hope I can get more guidance within the practice of hoodoo.
Are your parents and grandparents black? It depends on how far your European ancestors go back. Because this is an ATR your ancestors may be at odds with each others.

Such a beautiful, cohesive philosophical explanation. Thank you for sharing!
xolani, you are a teacher's teacher! thank you for breaking the historical + living definitions of hoodoo so clearly. biggest blessings + gratitude for you
Ooo this was so rich and insightful. I’m tryna go back to the basics and so grateful to have learned some new language.
Xolani! I love learning from you. Thank you for all of your offerings; they are deeply and exponentially nourishing. Light & progress to you & yours all ways, always
I'm so grateful for your consistent support Alexis! Deep, deep gratitude to you. 💙

If there's no support system in your area. How do we join a community? Cloud a online group count?

It’s been discovered that Orthodox Christianity in Ethiopia was not always there but brought by a middle eastern man.
