Day 28 of Hoodoo Heritage Month 2025 Our Ancestors left us the technology of Hoodoo and Rootwork to help us decolonize. - Yayi Joyce #HoodooHeritageMonth ☠️🕊️☠️

Christmas fuels corporate capitalism I'm referring to Christmas in the USA. If we want actual change, we need to reimagine how Christmas looks, not with expensive gifts, and spending at the same corporations that are killing true democracy What are your thoughts on holiday reimagined this year?

For The Love Of Our Ancestors Please understand: Working with your Èṣù-Ẹlẹ́gbára, Elegua It is not the same as working with Hoodoo Crossroad Spirits. Ancestral Blessings ☠️🕊️☠️🙏🏽 #HoodooHeritageMonth

Day 19 of Hoodoo Heritage Month 2025 May our African and Black Ancestral roots always be honored. May all practitioners have wisdom and understanding not to let pride or impatience in their ” work” cause them unnecessary spiritual blockages. #HoodooHeritageMonth ☠️🕊️☠️

Day 2 of Hoodoo Heritage Month 2025 May our Black Ancestral roots always be honored. May we understand we are more than superstitions. Because a Black person won’t put their purse on the floor to avoid “bad luck” with money doesn’t automatically make them a Hoodoo practitioner #HoodooHeritageMonth

Day 1 of Hoodoo Heritage Month 2025 May our African & Black Ancestral roots always be honored, and may our Spirits be well fed this month. And may our power be remembered that we are more than honey jars and whitewashed tarot readings. #HoodooHeritageMonth #GullahGeecheeHeritageMonth

Day 273 of 365 to my Guardian Ancestors Blessed Guardian Ancestor that safeguards me. Thank you for going ahead of my day and clearing out obstacles, interceding on my behalf, and protecting me from spiritual and physical dangers seen and unseen. It is so and so it is Hoodoo Healing ©️ ☠️🕊️☠️

The internet and social media are wild, chaotic energy fields. I want to spray it all down with some holy water, mint, rue, hyssop, and wash it all clean Mi GAWD Hoodoo Healing ©️ ☠️🕊️☠️

This Lunar Eclipse is about closing chapters. No fancy rituals are required; just be open to the chapter's closing and set firm boundaries with those chapters you need to close. Trust that whatever you close this season needs to be closed. Hoodoo Healing ☠️🕊️☠️

When you get a prescription from a reading, you do it, but the Ancestors don't accept it & ask you to repeat it. There could be bigger things at play, which is why they ask you to repeat it. This work isn’t about control, and yes, sometimes you have to repeat rituals Rhutsworker Rambles ☠️🕊️☠️

Blessed September #Hoodoos We start September with Sun in Virgo + constellation in Leo. Which means we start with the energy of balancing the Earth + Fire. Virgo says: Organize + self care Leo says: be steady + show yourself compassion Move sustainably, don’t burn out. In this eclipse season

Day 241 of 365/2025 Dear Sweet Child, Use these life frustrations as an invitation. Welcome these moments to grow. These are not punishments. These are intentional moments of growth. With Love, Your Ancestors

Day 239 of 365/2025 Sweet Child, sometimes we take you the long way to prevent you from going the wrong way! With love, Your Ancestors Hoodoo Healing ☠️🕊️☠️

Day 238 of 365/ 2025 Sweet Child, We don't expect you to shine brightly every day or be in high spirits all the time. Part of being human is understanding that some bad days will happen, and that’s okay. As your Ancestors, we walk with you through all phases of life. With Love, Your Ancestors

As I reread some of my old posts that popped up on Hoodoo & Rhuts, I thought, “Wow… maybe I’m not even a teacher.” At my Ancestral Altar, I felt peace: it’s okay to cringe at old work. That’s how we know we’ve grown Who we are today in Hoodoo won’t be who we are years from now. And that’s ok

This week, I reflected on Hillary Clinton's remarks about gay marriage with a dear friend and my predictions I pray we don’t revert back to normalizing “pray the gay away” camps again and criminalizing being gay. Those enabling this type of oppression face karmic debt even the devil wouldn’t want

Fun Fact Friday In some herbal medicine practices, taro leaves (Colocasia esculenta) are used for steam inhalation to help ease various respiratory matters. Taro can irritate the skin/lungs if not prepared properly. Always consult a trained herbalist provider before trying! Hoodoo Healing©️

Sweet Child, Please stop tying your worth to romantic relationships. It is unbelievably freeing when you do. With Love Your Ancestors ☠️🕊️☠️

To be a good astrologer, you have to be a good historian and understand humans. Astrology is math, history & patterns. Whatever you thought it was because of pop culture, throw it away.

Hoodoo and Rhutwork is political Put your local officials in your work, libations, and prayers. Include reps ( yes, even ones you don’t fully agree with) in your covering. Focus on the work and the policies that align with you for the greater good to benefit the community!

Trump’s “anti-woke campaign” & Kim Jong-un’s “propaganda” Are so similar they both rely on similar tactics: Where you create a cultural “enemy” to consolidate power behind them. Different systems, but the same damn playbook for sure. Such a shame more folks can’t see it.

Have you ever watched a cat move? Just in silence and watching them has taught me a lot There is an old country saying that’s used by Hoodoo and Rhuts elders, “A cat that wears gloves can't catch any mice I wrote a story about it on Substack; read it here 🔽 open.substack.com/pub/hoodoo/p...

Day 231 of 365/ 2025 Thank you to all my Ancestors for giving me hope and a firm foundation, and for never letting me down. For Da Love Of My Ancestors 🕊️☠️🕊️

No one owns the Water. No one owns the Land. No one owns the sand. These are given by Our Mother. The Planet provides for Free. Only by the hands of the Greedy does the Earth require a Fee 🌺

Day 230 of 365/2025 God and Ancestors, help guide me to fix myself internally so I stop spending money I don't have to live a life that's above my current means. An old prayer from the early 2000s, when I was working on my money mindset. Do y'all go back and look at old prayers? HH ©️

I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. I am loved simply because I exist. Say it with your whole chest & believe it #affirm

Sweet Children, Do not let this world bamboozle you into using your energy to please the most dysfunctional people in this world! Do not miss out on all the fun and joy of life, to try and maintain a false sense of harmony that dysfunctional people like to portray. With love, Your Ancestors

To my beautiful Black people in this world that seems full of chaos remember to not let the ways of this world push you into panic, stress & survivors mode take care of your health, nervous system I put together a list to you can read it on my Substack Chat. open.substack.com/chat/posts/a...

Hoodoo and Rhutwork teach us not to buy into the con of colonial capitalism but to remember how much we need community Hoodoo Healing ©️

To all my beautiful Black women, Please eliminate that stress from your life, as best you can. Long term extreme stress can trigger a host of health problems. Your beautiful Black Body wasn’t made to carry the weight of the world and everyone else’s problems. Love 💕 Yayi Joyce

Day 170 of 365 / 2025 Blessed Juneteenth Conversations with the Ancestors Dear Ancestors, May we always remember what freedom costs. Please give us the strength & wisdom to fight current systemic inequality. May we not make Juneteenth a punchline or just another product for sale Hoodoo Healing ©️

Day 164 of 365/ 2025 Conversation With My Ancestors Sweet Child, Be mindful of following roads just because they’re popular, paved with gold, and easy. Everything that glitters isn’t gold; sometimes, that glittery path can lead straight to danger. We love you, Your Ancestors

Some folks got spiritual gifts confused: Just because you can do readings do not mean that’s supposed to be your full time path. Do not confuse your calling with an escape from doing other real life work, like getting a job, going to school, or getting a trade. Hoodoo Healing ©️

We had a great time in Hoodoo Bible last night. It was our last class before we break for summer. It is so beautiful to witness a new generation of Bible Diviners unlearning the Bible as a tool of oppression and reclaiming it as a living spirit and a tool for justice & Rhutwork.

Sagittarius Full Moon on 06/11 at 3:44 am EST reminds us that we don’t have to chase what’s already promised to us. We don’t have to beg or cry from fear to Spirit for the blessings of our Ancestors aren’t only money; they can bring laughter, divine timing, good food, love, and more trust in them

Help us keep pushing forward our vision of building safe, engaging community spaces For Us, By US

Mondee Blessin’ May dis day I rise wid blessin’ and all de ways of Gawd be open to me. Leh de sun shine pon me, not beat down pon me. Gawd come wid ya sweet hand, bring coin, peace, and good sense. Stan up tall ’hind me, and crack de crossroad wide. #hoodoosky #hoodoo #prayers #lowcountryhoodoo

Why some folks get upset when I share my Low Country Hoodoo ways is beyond me. Like me, sharing is an attack on their practice. Which is not. My sharing what I know and how I was taught is not an automatic shame of anybody else’s ways or practices If it doesn’t apply, let it fly. Hoodoo Healing ©️

Black Folks and vinegar have a great long relationship from food, drink, medicine, weapon, and a prayer. I dropped a new Substack the beginning of my Vinegar in Hoodoo series Come read: open.substack.com/pub/hoodoo/p... #HoodooHealing #BlackHerbalism #Rhutwork #Rhuts #Hoodoosky #BlackSky

When people ask me how I can go to church and still practice Hoodoo. Simple because Hoodoo teaches us that you can find God in many places, from the river, trees, and inside of you. Church is just one container, but not the only one. God is not confined to a pew or place in Hoodoo Hoodoo Healing ©️

Something my Elders taught me and I pass it on: None of us are real experts or scholars till we become Ancestors. Hoodoo Healing ©️ #AfricanDiasporicTraditions #AncestralWisdom #Rootwork #hoodoosky #HoodooHealing

I know “Hoodoos” is a modernization; not everyone likes to use it. I use it as a general term for those who walk the path & honor Ancestors in the tradition. Not everyone who practices Hoodoo will be a rootworker, conjurer, or two headed doctor. Are specific callings, roles, & responsibilities

This

Great reading list here

Hoodoo is not an African diasporic stepchild; it is a complete and complex system with its own rites and rituals, cosmology, spirit court, and initiations. You may never need another anointed or initiated path other than Hoodoo. And I want you to know that……. Hoodoo is enough.™ Hoodoo Healing©

Just a lil Low Country Hoodoo wisdom: They can’t hex what’s been healed before God and the Ancestors. Let 'em try; it won’t prosper because what's been healed before your God and Ancestors has also been covered, prayed over, and rooted in truth and love. #Hoodoosky #rootworksky #lowcountrywisdom

This is a friendly reminder that not every dead person is an Ancestor. There’s a difference between the remembered dead, wandering spirits, and your Ancestral Line. Hoodoo Healing ©️
