How Do I Restore My Lineage?
My maternal grandmother has recently joined the ancestors and upon hearing stories about her and her life before my mother was born, I’m realizing that she practiced Hoodoo and it was common in the deep country part of North Carolina where she grew up. After she married my grandfather and joined his religion (Jehovah’s Witnesses), she gave up most of her practices, kept them secret, and largely detached from her family. I’ve always had a feeling about it because of how she carried herself and certain things she did growing up.
Since her passing and my own deconstructing of Christianity, I have been drawn to learning more about Hoodoo and reawakening the part of my bloodline that has been silenced.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar and have guidance on where to start? I am completely disconnected from her side of the family and most of them are also no longer living.
