Hi I am a hoodoo practitioner but I am open to any open spells and hoodoo spells. My sex life in my lesbian relationship has been failing and I would like a spell that could help with this. I see her tomorrow..

On Monday night during the Strawberry Moon, I made a money jar and 3 days later I lost my job. My intentions were positive and included “with harm to none.” From my understanding a Strawberry Moon is often associated with harvest, gratitude, abundance, and relationships??

Before using the jar I cleansed it with Dragon’s Blood incense and Palo Santo

In the jar I used:
A petition
A $1 bill
Quarters, dimes, and nickels
Honey
Bay leaves
Basil
Mint
Cinnamon
Ginger
Cloves
Chamomile
Pyrite and green Aventurine

Then, by Thursday, I unexpectedly lost my job. I’m trying not to jump to conclusions, but the timing has me wondering. I’ve heard people say that you can unintentionally attract things via thoughts//feelings subconsciously or that spell work can sometimes clear out situations that no longer serve you before bringing something better, while others believe it’s simply coincidence.

Did this all back fire on me and could doing this during the Strawberry Moon impacted this? I just need help analyzing this situation all together I’m so confused, conflicted, and devastated. This economy is already terrible and the job market is worse.

Hi guys, I hope all is well. I feel very vulnerable talking about this but i need help. My life since I have know it has been really messed. Things happen to me on their own, anytime i take a step forward it turns into 10 steps back. It started out as child when when I was about 10 or so and continue on well into my 20s. Now I am 32 and I am catching on something is not right. I have tried mindfulness, intention-setting, and focusing on the positive but the compounded effect of these activities have made things worse. Sometimes the negativity feels so heavy that I would do anything to leave my body and mind. As a results, I have lost relationships, careers, money, and now I am at the lowest I have been. In the past when I have gotten readings people have said I have been cursed. I am African but came to the US as a child and mostly ignored this. Though different practitioner have said it from various tradition. Now that things have gotten worse in a ways that makes no sense I am starting to see through it clearly. The curse extends to my family but it is mainly connected to me. I don't have a lot of money and I dont trust anyone I have gone to because in the past i have been duped into thinking things were solved when they have not. What I know also is this, whatever is against me when I fight it it comes back stronger and harder and I feel physically under attacked. Like I said, I try to clear my mind, be active, eat well, work on myself but things don't change they get worse and anytime I have a remote sign of a shift or opening the atmosphere around me starts to feel constricted, dense, and choking. I grew up in a lot of trauma but I am realizing that was just the vehicle for it, but not the real thing because the trauma work and therapy i have done over the years have made things worse. I realize I need to learn how to protect myself and work spell. It scares me. I don't want to do it and every time i get close to this something tells me to be scared. But watching everything i work hard for break or turn to sand is becoming harder and harder. I am realizing that's the key. Accepting what I have been told and been experiencing and using the tools I need to work it, because if not I wont live to see the end of my 30s and that is scary thoughts. Can someone kindly teach me? All the thanks!

For context my Boyfriend and I broke up last year and got back together towards the end of October. We have really be working through our shit and re learning to love each other. During that time we dated other people. One person he dated was head over hills for him. Her and I spoke a few times over the phone and I learned she does practice. Before our reconciliation, I remember pulling cards to see if she did something on him and long story short My ancestors told me to leave it alone and practice patience and self love and that’s what I did. (He had to figure out how to break it on his own)

Fast forward to now 2026 this woman keeps coming in my dreams like attacking me or I catch him and her. But in the waking life theres no contact with anyone we’ve dated on our break we blocked everyone. (That was his decision he came up with not mine I just agreed)

My question is could this woman be throwing magic at me?

I’ve done protection spells and petitions to separate her energy specifically from mines. I’ve cut cords between me and her and all. I’ve acknowledged that they shared a special moment and have moved on.

These dreams are just getting too weird.

Sorry for putting this here, I didn't see any active Ifa groups in the search. I am African American and yesterday morning I dreamt of a black man and woman coming to me like an introduction. Though they didn't appear to speak, I heard and saw what they meant. The name Shango kept popping in my brain, I literally was looking at the man and thinking "That's Shango!"

The woman even 'told' me that accepting them and embracing them doesn't mean I forget my old parents and family. I have never dreamt of anything like this.

Also, as a side note; I have always had vibrant, elaborate dreams. I've seen everything from a murder to my own murder in my dreams. I've remembered other dreams inside my dreams. Once I even remembered a dream that I'd consciously forgotten about. I've learned to always note certain things and take my dreams seriously.

But this is my first time ever seeing a deity, especially an Orisha. Am I allowed to serve Shango? Can anyone help me get clarity on this?

Thanks!

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.

Hey guys,

Let's have a convo about your favorite Bible verses for protective Workings. Though some in recent years have begun pivoting away from it, Hoodoo is -historically- a Christian based religion. At the beginning of this, enslaved Africans, the Ancestors of Hoodoo, were forced to convert to a form of Christianity where they had to hide their ancestral religions in the cloak of Christianity. "I'm not praying to Elegua, I'm praying to Saint Anthony," for example.

Over time the Ancestors descendants became genuine Christians, integrating their faith into the structure of Hoodoo. This is the Hoodoo that has been passed on to us, keeping the practice of ancestral veneration as the core of the African practices we've inherited. A major part of this is the use of Bible verses as fixed prayers to the Lord, joining the energy of our fervent need to the fervent need of all those who've come before and felt the same emotions as us.

In Hoodoo, Psalm 91 is considered the ultimate protection prayer. Indeed! It's even thought so outside of Hoodoo! It's often called the "Soldier's Psalm" and it's common to find soldiers with this Psalm torn from Bibles, hand written, or enscribed on coins, rosaries, and other charms for protection.

What I really want to discuss are the verses you like, that inspire feelings of Heavenly power, divine Grace, and total production OTHER THAN Psalm 91? One of mine will be in the comments.

hey y’all, so i made a sweetener jar for my current circumstances back in april. had a mishap where i couldn’t work with it for almost a month, got it back, cleansed and worked it again. not gonna lie, and ik folks will say it’s me, but i haven’t seen much movement. i’ve seen differing opinions on whether to keep the contents in the jar until i see results, OR, have it for seven days and then dump it outside returning it to the earth. exactly WHAT should i do now? one more shake, pray & dump? i genuinely do not know 😅

Hi everyone! I'm new here and wanted to share my situation.
My partner has been avoiding me lately. We were in no contact for four months, but he eventually reached out and we talked for about a month. Then we went another 15 days without contact. We spoke briefly again two days ago.
The main issue is that he's still holding on to our past misunderstandings. He's afraid that things won't work out in the future, so he struggles to open up and communicate with me about resolving our problems.
My goal isn't to force anything—I just want us to communicate consistently so we can work through everything together.
I've already done a healing spell, and I genuinely feel it helped. Yesterday I also did a communication spell, and I know these things are meant to take time.
Right now, though, I'm feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost. Does anyone have any suggestions about what kind of spell or approach would best support healthy communication and reconciliation in this situation? I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you!

guys for a while i have been wanting to make my alter devoted to my mother. in all honesty i neglect it because i don’t know much about her. she passed when i was five, there’s not anyone i can ask about her because i don’t speak to my moms side of family. i do have candles and have lit the white one and prayed at the alter. but i want to give her offerings, i just don’t know what to put because i don’t know anything about her. but the connection is so strong being she’s my mother that i want to give her offerings. any one else ever run into this issue? how did u go about giving offerings?

i do know she was lively, bold, and had to have loved grey goose cause i saw a pic of her holding a huge bottle of it before lol.

anyway pls help

I’m a 26 African American female, and I just started looking into hoodoo. I’ve been trying to do my own research, but a lot of it is saying that you’ll learn from others in your family…the elders. My family doesn’t believe in it, and think it’s devil work. I’m buying the book called “Jambalaya” because a lot of people are saying that’s a good book to start with. I guess I really need some guidance for this. I really feel like I’m called to this, and I really want to get into it. I know I need to start by doing a spiritual bath, and cleansing my home. But with the research I’m doing, idk if it’s hoodoo or other. So if anyone is willing to help me with this journey, I would grateful appreciate it 💜

There have been a lot of posts and comments lately about people needing to prove they have the right to practice. Nobody here needs to prove anything. If you’re looking for a sub with more stringent rules, I would suggest ConjureRootworkHoodoo. Thanks!

Hello everyone hope your day is well. I’m wondering what I can do to cleanse myself of hypersexuality of course I’m doing therapy to help my mental. But something like a spell or major cleanse. It just makes me feel so dirty. I have a lot of deep rooted trauma when it comes to sex and I would love to finally be semi free so I can heal my sexual relationship with myself. ✨

The above sub is under construction. Hoodoo is a closed practice. There’s a difference with information being accessible and being able to practice. The conversation is redundant and takes away from those that want to learn.

It's exhausting to say the least...

I need help with cleansing I feel drained. (Backstory) I had sex with my ex last night, we always go back to each other it’s more of like a friends with benefits thing. We’re good friends so I don’t want to completely cut him off, but maybe that’s what I have to do. Anyways I woke up feeling so drained. Also I’ve gotten diagnosed with Chronic spontaous uractica (csu) and I’m having a hard time using incense. What can I use to cleanse myself? I’m kind of low on money so I can’t really buy things to make a spiritual bath and all my herbs I currently use are powders. Sorry this is badly worded. I just need help
