Yall I have my altar on my dresser in my room but I don’t want everyone else to see it and be in my business, I think it should be very sacred but I have nowhere else to put it 💔
reddit.comYall is it normal to feel nervous about building your altar for the first time ?
reddit.comAnd I’m not sure if my grandma is going to support that like me trying to connect with her you know ? I could try though but I’m not sure .
reddit.comOkay I couldn't write all that I wanted cause I ran out of space! But I mentioned in the last post that what if my ancestors don't want to be connected? I know before my grandma died she was in the church HEAVY! But my dad knows a lot of hoodoo sayings but I don't even think he knows what it is!
reddit.comHey yall , so I want to start my altar but I don’t have any pictures of my ancestors! What else could I do? I saw something that said writing their name down and having a glass of water ! Also what do I do if my ancestors don’t want to me connected?
reddit.comConfused
Hey yall , I’m in a rock and a hard place right now . I want to tap in with hoodoo yes I’m a black african American but I’m just confused. I have old parents so they don’t know anything about hoodoo. I just tried to explain to them what it was and she said “ nothing comes before God” when I told her you can still worship God while practicing hoodoo. I’m just a little confused on where I should start or if I should be worried idk .
Pointers/Tips
I’m so glad a lot of you answered my last post! Thank you so much , now I took what you guys said into consideration. Is there any pointers on how to start getting into Hoodoo? Anything that I need to know ? Anything that I need to avoid ? All of the things that I need to buy like candles , Florida water , or herbs ? I’m a beginner and want to start off slow.
Black spirituality
hey yall, so I’m a young black 20 year old women ! all my life I’ve Been Christian nothing else just that . when I was around 16 I started to mess around with crystals and sage, and pablo santo . A few months later I stopped with the crystals it just felt like life wasn’t going well for me , and I stopped the sage and santo which I didn’t have a problem with the sage or Pablo santo but I just stopped all in general . Fast forward 4 years later I want to tap back into the sage and Pablo santo NOT THE CRYSTALS, now I’ve been doing some research and I’ve honestly been looking at my black ancestors and how to use certain stuff properly, now ofc I’m talking about hoodoo. now I still want to be Christian and I don’t want God to think im switching up because I still want to be Christian but also I don’t want to tap in on my spiritual side which I really don’t know how to do but the sage and pablo santo . Any pointers or tips on what I’m talking about or what I’m experiencing?
