Hoodoo =/= Voodoo

aggressivelybicaptainamerica

  • Hoodoo= various eclectic forms of African American witchcraft that draws from traditional African, Native American and even Christian religious and spiritual practice. Also commonly known as root work  and conjuring.
  • Voodoo=a religion based around the West African Vodun tradition brought by West African slaves involving specific deities and religious ceremonies and worship.  Priests and priestesses would invoke these deities to perform spells and magic for their clients and followers.

Voodoo is a closed religious practice (though I know that there are priests in the US who teach and initiate interested parties.)

Hoodoo is a term for various magical practices from many religious backgrounds and can be studied and practiced by any interested party, though I would be sure to check your sources as with all magical research.

warning, it’s long, but there’s a lot of really great specifics, like:

you are a fop
good but odd
you will cause my death
I declare war against you
intellectual but heartless
false and gay
handsome but dangerous
your looks freeze me
an enemy in disguise

WITCHES & NET NEUTRALITY

Originally posted by ooevilynoo

I am urging all witches on Tumblr to learn and inform others about net neutrality.

What is net neutrality? Why does it matter?

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization—"fast lanes" for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else.

Now, we must convince Congress to stop the FCC.

These rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like these hurt businesses–large and small–and penalize the users who patronize them. 

Think of all the witchy bloggers and business owners that will be directly affected by these changes.  It will be incredibly damaging towards each and every one of us.

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard. 

Our witchcraft community will most certainly suffer if we do not do something about it.  Contact Congress.  Share this post.  Go here to learn more.

Also just to mention:

I don’t know about you, but I got some of my first information about witchcraft online. Granted, it all wasn’t the most accurate, but it has helped me find this community of other witches.


We share information, talk with each other, and keep this faith alive through the Internet, as it’s the only means of accessing this community for many folks. Repealing of Net Neutrality could mean keeping away all of this information, making it harder to access for anyone that’s practicing. Please, reach out to your Congressmembers and ask them to not repeal Net Neutrality!!!
