Putting things under your pillow
By putting certain things underneath your pillow, you will allow those metaphysical properties to interact with your dreams, and your person all throughout the night, when you sleep upon that pillow. Here is a small list of constructs you can put underneath your pillow, that will provide to you certain energies, minds states, and physical stimulus throughout the night based on what they are:
Lapis lazuli under your pillow for awareness of your dreams, and vividness of those dreams.
Clear quartz under your pillow to wake up with more energy, after you awake from your sleep.
Bayleaf under your pillow in order to have more prophetic dreams.
Chamomile under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and good dreams.
Rose petals under your pillow in order to bring love into your waking life.
Peppermint under your pillow in order to promote relaxation, and vivid dreams.
Lavender under your pillow in order to promote calm, and in order for you to sleep well.
Anise under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares.
Rosemary under your pillow in order to prevent nightmares, and to bring deep sleep.
Garlic under your pillow in order to promote sleep well.
You can put a blade of grass, or a leaf underneath your pillow to promote growth, and change in your waking life.
Money under your pillow for wealth, and prosperity in your waking life.
You can put a picture of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.
You can put the name of someone underneath your pillow in order to connect with them better.
You can put all manner of sigil underneath your pillow in order to get the effect of that Sigil into your dreams, and waking life.
“I met a young woman in the ‘90s that showed me that poverty was a spirit. I had never before considered such a thing. But once she pointed it out, I found I could tell what neighborhood a person came from a lot of times just by how they addressed me when they came into our family’s store. My mother was raised with 9 children in a sharecropping environment. She thinks poverty is a virtue, but at one point she spent money like crazy, buying things she would never wear just because she finally could. I recognized that this was the poverty spirit as well, and that many abundance gurus were really on a mission because of the poverty they grew up in. They developed a philosophy or even a religion around never being poor again. I also realize that I inherited some of my mother’s poverty spirit. Like at one time, I wouldn’t crochet anything for myself. I wanted to make every dime I could and refused to recognize that I wanted pretty things too or that me wearing my stuff was like free advertising. But I noticed that my mom’s poverty spirit had a use. When times were lean, she would go into action showing us how to make it on nothing at all. So I recently renamed my own poverty spirit, “The Spirit of Making Something Out of Nothing”. And instead of wearing it all of the time, I pull it out when the economy gets bad or business is slow. I think most black families have this spirit somewhere in there. Might as well put it to work.”

CALLING ALL SPIRITUAL FOLK!!!
Hey there! My name is Davey and I’m a young rootworker in Mississippi! I’ve been doing this practice for about a year now and my ancestors agreed that it’s time for me to offer my spiritual services! I started off doing playing card readings but now I do spiritual work for people!! I’ve been told that I’m an amazing reader. Even @itsjujubae herself (creator of A Little Juju Podcast) agrees! If you would like to inquire about readings or spellwork please DM me on instagram or on here! Thank you so much! Aśe!
I feel like as spiritual workers we feel inclined to help EVERYONE and its not our job to. You cant force people to evolve. Don’t damage yourself trying to build up someone else that doesnt want you to.
Here is a recipe for teacakes from my favorite rootworker, Mina Wilson aka Mamaruehh. She offers this to John de Konker aka High John the Conqueror.
“My ancestors want me to have pleasure, leisure, joy, peace and REST. I did not come back to this mortal coil to work myself to death. I deserve to THRIVE while I am here. I am so grateful for an existence that isn’t solely based in survival. My granny told me that she loved that I travel because a part of her is traveling too. 😭♥️ My ancestors are traveling with me too, always. Just one generation removed from sharecropping (same slavery, different name). No more breaking ourselves to prove our worth.”

The power of plants. "Wandering Jew" is excellent for protection. Put them all over your property. Hardy and easy to propagate. A stem clipping in a jar of water or directly into good soil gives a full healthy mature plant quickly.

You know you Hoodoo when....
...You’re watching a tv show and the Black woman character throws her handbag on the floor and you cringe
...You’re in the car and pass by a couple splittin the pole and you roll down your window to yell at them (Gabby Sidibe actually did this and tweeted about it 😆)
...You will make your man, son, nephew etc go out the back door and come back in through the front door on New Years Day
...You have a conniption (or memories of your Elders having them) if somebody accidentally sweeps over your feet
...You cutchoff all the lights and electronics when it’s storming outside
Let’s keep this going for #HoodooHeritageMonth!

What is the path of ancestral healing?

Things I Learned From the Ancestors, #1
They’re still people.
Your ancestors are people of differing levels of perspective and spiritual ability. A few of them are close to deification; others still need help elevating in general, and choose to incarnate to help themselves achieve that. But even after transition, some shit never changes. Some examples, by no means representative of the total experience that comes with ancestor worship:
Your mother moves people to give you chocolates when you’re sad. She gives you dreams about your future, and is the first to protect you against the negative spirits that are drawn to your light. She exposes the friends who wish you ill, unbeknownst to them; she is the persuasive energy that makes them tell on themselves.
Your grandfather will help you do the work, all the gritty, dark and sometimes frightening self-work, that he couldn’t have held your hand through while incarnate. He smells like cigars, but he comes through strongest when you hold crushed cilantro in your hands.
Your grandmother still prays for you and cries when you’re hurt. Her mere whisper carries the ase of a five-hundred year old priest, because she is. You owe her more respect than you gave her.
Your great uncle is bitter that he can’t have coffee anymore. The cold breeze you feel is him popping in to smell your latte for the nostalgia.
Your aunt still got jokes, and plays pranks around the house. The WiFi issues are because of her, and she’s learned how to trigger it whenever you need to come visit the altar. Or when you’ve spent too much time on a Netflix binge and need to get the hell out of bed. Or when you’re running from something that you now need to face. She was a really good runner in life, like her mother, like so many others in your family, and she wants to help you hang up your emotional running shoes for good.
Your late brother uses Pandora stations to shade your boyfriend. To be fair, J Cole also ain’t shit. Also, it’s not your brother’s fault that you choose that station every time ol’ boy comes to visit. Though you should probably have noticed that Big Sean’s “Beware” made it onto your queue every time, even when you played Afrobeat instead.
Your second cousin is still a beast at board games; better now, because she can whisper things about other players if you quiet your thoughts enough. You don’t feel her presence often, because she has work to do elsewhere, but when she visits…you know.
An ancestor whose name you do not know helps you pick the right cards during card games, and gives you weird urges to play chess. The game is similar to what he once played; his taught him strategy, kept his mind sharp, and he wants the same for you. You may be the one who helps his descendants; remember, not all of this is about you.
Your father really, really doesn’t like yams. Never did and never will, and probably accepts offerings of it with his nose pinched. He should have earned an Oscar for his annual performance at the Thanksgiving table. He will teach you to sacrifice; that way, when you finally learn to always tell the truth, dishonesty is seen for the roadblock that it is.
The child of your relative who returned home early - the one whose name is whispered because the loss still hurts - is the one who, when you’re really stressed out and need to slow down/breathe, makes you lose your keys. She brings your egbe closer to you when you need them. And you do: like many others, you have promises to them that need to be kept.
–
Your ancestors love and support you, even if in life that wasn’t always true. Sometimes, that’s still true, and they fall back to allow the others who like you to do the work. The ones who step forward to guide you, nourish you, take your burdens and help you elevate are the ones who consider your living and breathing each day to be a win. The ones whose names you do not know will still take up arms to protect you, and dry your tears. They’re people, and because they are people, you are never alone.
This is merely a reminder.
Reconnecting with Spirits
It may not seem so, but it is actually common to sometimes end up losing contact with a spirit for some amount of time. While not every spirit may wish to reconcile or reconnect, here are a simple few steps to reach out to the spirit and help show that you would like to work with them again.
Call Them
The first step to reconnecting with a spirit is to reach out to them. Say something along the lines of “[Spirit’s Name], I would like to talk to you,” while focusing on them. Give them time to respond, and if they do decide to talk to you, let them know that you want to start working with them again.
Set Up Offerings
Just like when you haven’t seen a friend for a while, you may want to give them some form of gift (or an offering). It could be something physical, like a food offering or an object that you think they’d like, or it could simply be planning an activity to do together.
Spend Time Together
While this may be a little obvious, it still is important to set aside time to spend with the spirit and to put in the effort to reconnect. How you spend that time is up to you, but I would recommend doing some sort of activity that requires the both of you to interact (such as playing through a game together).
Contact Them Regularly
Speaking from experience, it can be very easy to attempt to reconnect with a spirit and not follow through. Make sure to reach out to them periodically and talk to them!
