Family, Hoodoo Heritage Month is here—and it’s time to honor the truth: hoodoo and the Bible have always walked hand in hand. Our ancestors kept the commandments while they worked the roots. The Bible wasn’t pushed to the side—it was the heartbeat of the work.
When God says “keep the commandments,” that doesn’t cancel out hoodoo. It actually sets the boundaries for how we move in it. Here’s what that looks like when you keep it clean:
Prayer + Psalms: Speaking Psalms over candles and situations. Psalm 91 for protection, Psalm 23 for provision, Psalm 37 for justice. That’s loving God with all your heart.
Protection work: Red brick dust at the door to guard your home, mojo bags with angelica root or High John carried for safety, Psalm 121 in your pocket when you travel. That’s loving your neighbor by keeping peace around you.
Healing work: Hyssop baths with Psalm 51 (“wash me and I shall be whiter than snow”), chamomile tea for calming the spirit, peppermint prayed over for sickness. God gave the herbs—we put them to use with prayer.
Money & provision: Honey jars with Deuteronomy 8:18 written inside, sweeping your steps with cinnamon water to draw in blessings, bay leaves inscribed with “prosperity” while reciting Malachi 3:10. That’s about keeping roads open without coveting what others have.
Justice work: Candles prayed over with Psalms, vinegar jars to sour the lies of those trying to harm you, hot foot work to send troublemakers away—not to destroy, but to protect your household. That’s answering false witness with truth and discipline, not revenge.
Community care: Fixing protection bags for kids going to school, praying for your neighbors, sharing herbs and scripture when somebody’s struggling. That’s love in action.
This is what I mean by commandment-friendly hoodoo. It doesn’t break God’s law—it fulfills it. Love God, love your neighbor, and use what He placed in your hands.
Our ancestors weren’t out here chasing idols or trying to replace God. They prayed, they trusted, and they worked the roots He gave them to survive. That’s why hoodoo is more than “folk magic.” It’s heritage, it’s resilience, and it’s faith lived out loud.
💬 This month, let’s talk about it. How do you keep the commandments in your own work? How do you balance scripture, prayer, and rootwork in your walk with God? Share your story below—let’s celebrate and keep this tradition alive.
