![]() The vast majority of rootworkers are Protestant Christians (mostly Southern Baptists) who read The Bible and pray the Lord's Prayer and Psalms. Hoodoo is not a religion, it is a magical system. Hoodoo blends together the magical technology of Congo slaves that were taken from Africa in the slave trade, combined with Native American herbal knowledge, bits of European folk magic and Jewish mysticism. It is important to note, that contrary to what some authors may write in their books, Hoodoo is NOT Voodoo (Vodou). Hoodoo is often known by other names including: conjure, rootwork, root doctoring, laying tricks, working roots or doing the "work". Hoodoo (also known as rootwork) is Southern folk magic grounded in centuries of African American heritage within the southern United States. ![]()
