What is Hoodoo?

Hoodoo isn’t Hollywood—it’s home. We sit down with Dr. Aleem L Bay to explore hoodoo as a living African American folk practice grounded in ancestors, herbs, Psalms, and focused intention. No gatekeeping, no gimmicks, just the tools and mindsets that helped people survive, protect, and thrive under pressure.

We start with clarity: voodoo is a religion with initiations and deities, while hoodoo is a practical system you can work with directly. From mojo and gris-gris bags to the “spell book” of Psalms, we map the essentials and show how color, prayer, and petition power candle rituals. You’ll hear why blue candles pair with justice and communication, how intention imprints your tools, and what a flame can reveal about momentum. We go deep on herb work too—cinnamon floor washes for cleansing, Florida water for space clearing, and mugwort for lucid dreaming and inner sight—plus the caution and respect each plant demands.

Dr. Aleem breaks down High John the Conqueror root, red brick dust, and hot foot powder with context and ethics, emphasizing protection over harm. We talk head washes for mental clarity, egg cleanses for heavy energy, and the dangers of throwing work without clean motives. Breath and self-suggestion anchor the practice; the mind is the true wand. We even touch the crossroads, Legba lore, and how old church traditions echo deeper metaphysics, all while bringing it back to inner power and responsibility.

If you’ve ever been curious about folk magic you can actually use—court work with Psalms 7, 8, and 11, aura shielding, or spiritual hygiene schedules—this is your map. Stay to the end for event details with Dr. Aleem L Bay and how to connect for more learning. If this opened your eyes, tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a review telling us which tool you’ll try first. Your intention starts now.

SPEAKER_05: 0:00

Uh uh peace bro, how you doing? Welcome to another episode of NYP Talk Show. I am your good brother, Mikey Fever. Don't forget to comment, like, share, and subscribe. We got super chats, we have merch on the website. All we need is you to get involved, to interact, and show that love. Peace to you all tonight. Good morning, wherever you at. Good morning, good night, wherever you're waking up, whichever part of the planet you're waking up at. I'm over here all tongue-twisted. Tonight we got a special guest, a familiar face, a legend within this community that brought out a lot of information. Some may find it controversial, but the brother does stand on his square and he delivers. We have the good doctor, Aline L Bay. Welcome, my brother.

SPEAKER_00: 0:58

Peace, peace, peace, brother. Mikey, what's going on with you?

SPEAKER_05: 1:02

All is well, brother. Y'all here looking, got the fresh cut. I was telling him before we got on, he's looking like a tragedy Qaddafi on here. Like he's about to spit that foul Mahti. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's looking, he's looking sharp, man. So uh that's peace, man. So tonight we'll be talking about hoodoo. What is hoodoo? And you know, we see shows American horror story, you know, where they speak about voodoo and hoodoo. We heard things from people in the South who say grandmother had this old way of working things, herbs and conjuring and all that. But we want to get an understanding of what hoodoo is because we can't speak without one without the other. And we all within the diaspora and here within America have a craft, have a spiritual practice that we do outside of organized religion. So, Dr. Aleem, first question I got for you, my brother.

SPEAKER_03: 2:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 2:02

We better get it good. What makes who what makes voodoo an African American spiritual tradition?

SPEAKER_00: 2:10

Well, I guess we have to start first with the difference between voodoo and hoodoo. Um, oftentimes we have hoodoo and voodoo, they're often confused, but they actually are two distinct um spiritual and cultural practices. Um voodoo is more of an organized religion, um, in which that started in West Africa or began in West Africa, as they would say. Hoodoo, on the other hand, is not um rooted in slash uh religion or organized religion. Um, it doesn't have to be, it can be individual, independent, it can be um utilized um as they would say by a root worker or someone who knows um the signs of herbs, um you know, um so forth and so on. Normally, oftentimes when we talk about hoodoo, we're talking about that it has its start or its origin in uh in Louisiana, and oftentimes hoodoo is called Louisiana voodoo, but um is it normally had a start there, and the person who popularized it the most probably was um Marie Laveau.

SPEAKER_05: 3:32

Okay, I heard of her before. New Orleans. Okay, because you know, based upon my um, I had to do like I didn't go in depth in my research. I know Hudu, um, as they put it, is a mixture of you know, African-American tradition, like knowing the roots and stuff, and some native Indians, I believe.

SPEAKER_00: 3:53

Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_05: 3:55

And I believe is it some Baptists involved in that?

SPEAKER_00: 3:58

Well, we can say Baptists or some other type of um even um other forms of Christianity, such as in Santeria, that would be Catholicism, Christian um the Catholic Church.

SPEAKER_05: 4:14

That's dope, that's dope, that's dope. All right, so we we're getting somewhere with this. How did Hulu survive slavery and oppression?

SPEAKER_00: 4:22

Actually, it was utilized during slavery, it was utilized um in the Haitian um attacks by um with France against the Haitians. Um, it was utilized um here in the Americas with the attacks from Britain um and the other foreigners in which that now have settled the land. But yeah, it was settled, uh, it was utilized, you know, here as a form of protection, as a form of um being connected to the ancestors, and being able to have some type of um guidance. Um we utilize that is a form of guidance. Nowadays we might use terror cards, a tarot card, um you know, some type of ruins, um, some type of other divination um system.

SPEAKER_05: 5:22

Got you, I got you. Okay, okay. So I I've seen that before with um New Orleans, as you mentioned, the New Orleans, and I know in Haiti we had a similar thing. That's why I'm saying both kind of parallel, because they involve some African and some indigenous um practices and their spiritual spirituality in there. So within Hoodoo, um, they often say, like, I know in voodoo they say it's when somebody's chosen, they say, Shwazi, you're you're chosen. But they also say, I believe in Hudu, it does the same thing where it says this person has been called to Hudu.

SPEAKER_03: 5:56

Right. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05: 5:57

So, like, is it is that done through like, is it passed down through the lineage, through family?

SPEAKER_00: 6:03

No, oftentimes it's passed down genetically. Um, the memories of your ancestors, you become you all a concentration of, so being able to tap into um those spirits or the ancestors um becomes very easy. Um, definitely more easier than it would be if it was someone um who was just beginning their um, you know, the beginning stages of practicing. But someone who is already, you know, second, third, fourth, you know, um generational um, you know, practitioner will have special powers. They will have more insight, they would be able to have um be able to see. So they will have uh what's called clairvoyance, uh media ship, um, being able to tell um what's getting ready to happen, to give a future telling it or fortune telling, as they refer to it as.

SPEAKER_05: 7:12

Got you, got you. Okay. I know there are some amulets, talisman, and charms given in other practices, right? Every practice has that amulets, charms, and right, right. What is a mojo bag in voodoo?

SPEAKER_00: 7:29

Well, that's that's the key. Mojo bag or gris gris um is a bag in which they oftentimes have herbs, certain other items such as crystals. Um, you know, some say rocks as they refer to them as, or what, you know, but crystals, precious gemstones. Um in particular, one would a good one would be lapis lazuli.

SPEAKER_06: 7:57

Um lapis lazuli, a crystal, right?

SPEAKER_00: 8:00

Right, right. Um, and some other things in which that you know was dear to a practitioner or to a family member in which that they end up having it. I know women, um, when I was growing up, women would have their bags and they would put it aside, their bras, um, you know, pin pinned it, you know, to their bras, you know, and they would have it um with them um in that manner.

SPEAKER_06: 8:32

Got you, I got you, I got you.

SPEAKER_05: 8:35

Okay. So we spoke about the mojo and the great grease bag and stuff like that. Got you. How how being that you're an herb man yourself, you're herbalist, you know what I'm saying? Over here sounding all crazy. I want the rosters to get at me. So Dr. Lim's an herbalist, no. Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 8:55

Yes. I'm a master herbalist.

SPEAKER_05: 8:58

Yeah, all right.

SPEAKER_00: 9:00

My mother started me on this path at nine years old on the signs of herbs.

SPEAKER_01: 9:04

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00: 9:05

Um, she was a practitioner. Um, my godmother was a practitioner. She was known as uh Mother Burnett from um out of Harlem, New York.

SPEAKER_01: 9:16

Oh, and who does?

SPEAKER_00: 9:18

She was a prophecy. She was able to see. Um, she was able to tell you. Um there was Bernard. Bernard is coming to come into your house at two o'clock in the morning, and um, you know, and sure enough, Bernard coming into the house at two o'clock in the morning. You just be ready, you know, with your gun or whatever you need, you know, because um that's how good she was. So you mean tell me both your mom and my grandmother and grandmother and my godmother who questioned me, right? Mm-hmm at a few months old.

SPEAKER_05: 9:57

And did they incorporate the Bible in there in there in their magic? Because I know a lot of people say they don't do that.

SPEAKER_00: 10:03

The whole thing, no, and who do you um utilize the Bible? In particular, you utilize Psalms a lot, as a matter of fact. Um, Psalms is a spell book. I have a book out in which that I break that information down. It's called the Divine Hymns of Uk Umten or Aknaton, which are occult powers of the Psalms. Gotcha. Um, the art of um art of candle magic or candle burning and uh um and the aroma of incense. So that's actually the name of the book. I have another one in which it's called Herbs, Who Do and Hoax. All right, so um, we know the difference between what's what's good and what's right and what's bad and what's wrong. Gotcha, gotcha. And I break that information down in the in those particular books.

SPEAKER_05: 11:02

And name in the book again.

SPEAKER_00: 11:03

So for the listeners and viewers, the divine hymns of as an unk, the source of life, a ton. A T-O-N, a ton. They just say divine hymns of Aknaten, the 18th dynastic, Pharaoh, or Nergu.

SPEAKER_05: 11:23

I got you, I got you. That's dope. See, now we're gonna go, we're gonna dive, we're gonna dive into all that. So we we spoke about you say the herbs, right? How how how are herbs, how are herbs spiritually awakened when when you're doing hoodoo? You know, every practice does that, but you know, how do you awaken the herbs when you're okay through your own energy, through your own thought process.

SPEAKER_03: 11:47

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00: 11:48

Um, for example, um, cinnamon is known um within the fill um to be put within your wash water, and you can mop throughout your house with cinnamon, and it gives off a fresh aroma and get rid of negative spirits or entities.

SPEAKER_05: 12:07

Oh cinnamon, right.

SPEAKER_00: 12:11

Um, people nowadays they use Florida water. Yeah, you know, they can use Florida water, wipe their walls and their floors down the width, you know, give your home a bath, as they would say, get rid of negative energies and spirits, you know. So death is just an example, you know, of what um herbs can do. Um I mean go on mugwort. Mugwort is good. Um, also within your um um grease grease bag, or grease grease bag, uh mojo bag, or however you want to refer to it as, and wish that um you could place it under your pillow and it will bring loosen dreams.

SPEAKER_05: 12:58

Yeah, I heard about that mugwart.

SPEAKER_00: 13:01

Out of body experiences or OBEs as they refer to it as.

SPEAKER_05: 13:10

So the mugwart, I heard like they call it uh in you know, in Creole, they call it Amoise or in Spanish Artisima, something like that. Artisma, right? Artisima, right? I was told that as you mentioned, you it is useful to dreaming, but you cannot consume too much of it sometimes, right?

SPEAKER_00: 13:26

Right.

SPEAKER_05: 13:27

Why is that?

SPEAKER_00: 13:28

Um, that's because it can um cause issues with the digestive system. But if you if you are able to just do a simple small cup, it can give you access to DMT, in which that also has the same ability to um loosen dreams and out-of-body experiences as well as also developing um spiritual gifts. You know, um, your spiritual gifts would correlate to telepathy, um, telekinesis, clear voyance, clear audience, you know, psychemistry, these types of gifts would also begin to start developing.

SPEAKER_05: 14:13

All right, so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a scenario. I one day, say for instance, I come to your shop, I'd be like a Dr. Alem, my hulu man, I need some help, bro. I'm having an issue. I'm having um the most typical thing, like a legal justice issue. How would you go about how would you go about assisting me to resolve that matter?

SPEAKER_00: 14:34

All right. Um, well, then we have to go to candle magic. Um the candle would be a blue candle, and I will have you to read Psalms um eight. And read Psalms eight several times a day until you memorize it. And um, Psalms eight is good for um getting rid of um problems in court, court cases, as well as also um also eight can bring money. You also can do seven and eleven.

SPEAKER_03: 15:14

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05: 15:15

All right, see Aleem's I I hear not playing. See, I'm giving I gain a little free game, but the rest of them, yeah, I gotta go see the brother. Somebody says peace right here. All right, peace, peace to you, brother. Peace. Nolan Felder, peace, peace to Ron Brown, seven Shabbaz. That's a leem. Um listening to listening from ML from Missouri. Okay, shout out to Missouri. All right. What is the power of Hydron the Conqueror in Hoodoo?

SPEAKER_00: 15:46

All right. Number one, um, Hydron the Conqueror is the root of the four clock um plant.

SPEAKER_05: 15:56

Clock plant, you can break it down for us.

SPEAKER_00: 15:59

Yeah, um, the root is what they refer to as high the conqueror, but it comes from four clocks, um, which is a plant in which there oftentimes hummingbirds love four o'clock. And so you would see them around um the four o'clock um flower plants um extensively. They love it, you know. Um, and you know, hummingbirds don't just be any and everywhere. But in this particular case, if you have four clocks, you will see hummingbirds, and that is Hygiene Conqueror root, which is the bottom portion of that um of that particular plant. And Hygien the Conqueror is known to conquer, um, dispel hexes, to dispel negative spirits or entities, um, as well as some other things, yes.

SPEAKER_05: 17:10

All right, because I have I have seen that candle, and particularly the color is always purple. I like and it's uh it's usually a gentleman with uh whatever in his hand, you know, kind of um, you know, people I know as they use that candle a lot. They will be like, um he having an issue or some he's trying to win a case over somebody. You you put the candle, you put, you write your intentions down on a piece of paper under the candle to make it work. Hold on a second, my brother. We got some people in the building. Peace to Sue who who jumped in. The per uh knowledge corrected Mississippi, my bad. I thought Missouri said Mississippi. I appreciate that. Thank you. And we have a super chat from Moore's Uplifting Humanity. Peace and love, brother Mikey and Dr. Aleem L Bay. Gratitude for all you do.

SPEAKER_03: 18:01

Peace, peace, peace.

SPEAKER_05: 18:02

Peace, peace to you, brother. I appreciate the super chat, man. You know, we appreciate you all. Thank you. You know, it's it's an honor to have Aleem in the building, man. We we get legends over here, but Aleem was one I used to watch a lot. As I was telling him earlier in Long Island University, this brother used to be out there dropping so much information. There are times people would just be like, What he said? And it sounds crazy to you, but when you really think about it, you'd be like, Oh wow, he made a lot of sense. Because you know, information is flowing so quite some people cannot graft their mind around it. To them, they're like, that sounds wild. But when you go back, you're like, hold on. Because it's like intelligence, I always tell people it's not a straight line, it's abstract. You gotta catch on because they find is just you know, moving.

SPEAKER_03: 18:49

Right.

SPEAKER_05: 18:50

So, you know, that that that's that's peace right there. What is the meaning of redden of red brick dust?

SPEAKER_00: 18:58

All right, red brick dust um can be used instead of what they call gopher dust, yeah, which oftentimes is dust in which that you can actually get out the graveyard. Oh yeah, yeah, and um is to get rid of um an individual um in which that um can do you harm and you want to get rid of them, um similar to um hot foot powder, except it's more extreme.

SPEAKER_05: 19:36

Yeah, what is hot? I heard of that before, hot foot powder. What is that?

SPEAKER_00: 19:41

Uh hot foot powder is a special blend of um particular uh dust, as I said. Like I said, um it can be cayenne pepper and some other type of herbs. Yeah. But you put in the person's shoes or you know, and um they will walk away from you, no longer have any interaction with you.

SPEAKER_05: 20:13

Oh wow. So you can be in a crazy relationship, you'd be like, I uh I gotta I gotta fix this up real quick.

SPEAKER_00: 20:20

Right, right, exactly.

SPEAKER_05: 20:22

Oh man.

SPEAKER_00: 20:24

As they say also, if you want to um stop gossip or um someone putting a bat on your name, you know, you can you can freeze them.

SPEAKER_05: 20:38

Yeah, I was gonna get into that. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. You know what? Go ahead, flow, flow with that. What you mean?

SPEAKER_00: 20:42

No, I was I would just tell, you know, you can um, you know, get an egg right on the egg, you know, on the person's name or whatever case is and put it in the freezer.

SPEAKER_05: 20:54

And that's it. Put more ice, calm them down.

SPEAKER_00: 20:57

Right.

SPEAKER_05: 20:57

You know what's so dope what you're saying that because you know I have done that myself. It does work. Or there are there are other tricks like um see again, I want to give respect. I don't want to cross them, but they they but they are parallel, voodoo and voodoo. Right to a certain degree. Uh you you could put um write the person's name seven times, put it in your left shoe with a with a thime leaf, with a stem of thyme, and you step on them before you leave before leaving your house, and that person will never give you problems again. You understand? That person would be under control, peace, peace to L Guru. All right. Is there like um an initiatory initiative initiative right into voodoo?

SPEAKER_00: 21:41

No, not necessarily into Hudu, but it is within voodoo.

SPEAKER_05: 21:45

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00: 21:46

Yeah, that's dope, see um within the voodoo or um the religion of the voodoo, yeah. Um, the individual um will go through initiation, yes. Um, similar to the um ifa or the yoruba, um, you know, Congo um right, or what is known as Palomyambe and the other Apolos, yeah, they will have to go through initiation. Um, within the hoodoo, no, you don't necessarily have to go through initiation. Um like I said, you can start the practice, or if you have had um practitioners within your family bloodline.

SPEAKER_05: 22:29

Gotcha. I got you. So anybody just that's what a person just wake up one day and say, I like to practice hoodoo. What do they gotta do? Is there are there sources they could go through if they don't have family members that practice?

SPEAKER_00: 22:40

Most of the time, there's no real sources for the signs of hoodoo. So they will go into Wiccan, which is the okay man's version, pale woman's version of hoodoo.

SPEAKER_05: 22:53

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00: 22:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 22:55

And then from there, you they could tie the they could they could tie the two from there, right?

SPEAKER_00: 23:00

Possibly. Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 23:03

I like how you said that. What does it mean to fix you to fix a trick? Like these terms that they use when they're like, I'm gonna fix you a trick. What what is that?

SPEAKER_00: 23:14

Oh, just like you said, getting things under control, um, uh mastering um someone's steps or their path or movement, at least around you, anyway. You know, that they do something more positive, hopefully, you know, you know, to give them some type of um energetic um positivity or insight into doing things in which that would actually be a benefit. Mm-hmm. Instead of um instead of a distraction, yeah, and being a liability.

SPEAKER_05: 23:54

I got you, I got you. Somebody got a question here they ask. Sorry about that. I mean, got your wisdom probably. Um, they say, is this is the seal of Solomon real? And can we use it?

SPEAKER_00: 24:07

Oh, yes, yes, yes. The seal of Solomon. Um, you have a um five uh what's called a pentagram, and you have a hexagram, which is a six-pointed um six-point hexagram, and you can right there the word hex. Um you know, um, with the word hex or hexagram, you can utilize um angels and demons.

SPEAKER_05: 24:37

I got you. And it's funny, I think Alem, I think you're you're telling you you're using telepathy on me, brother. Because you're talking about Wiccan. I got a Wiccan book right here. It's funny how you said how you said that, and I got this right here. I had this book right here since 2015.

SPEAKER_00: 24:54

Right, right. See, yeah, see, there's plenty of books out on Wiccan, you know, Wicca. But there's not a lot of books out on the hoodoo.

SPEAKER_05: 25:09

Not a lot, you know. And the person asked the question again. Um, Rose, Rose Reed asked, can we use it for can we use it for protection?

SPEAKER_00: 25:18

Of course. That's the reason why you would want to use um hoodoo. It's for specifically for protection, um, because there's a lot of negative people in the world who want your demise, and so you will want to protect yourself. Um, first, I would say garb yourself in white light, and simply just making your whole aura white, and that will repel negative energies um from you, or negative thoughts from you, uh, or thought forms that's not meant to be beneficial from you. Um, you know, so you will want to definitely learn to do that. Um, use your mind, because that's that's the thing that we have is mind power, um, number one, you know, and you are giving mind power to the candle, to the herbs, to um any and everything in which that you happen to touch, because when you touch herbs or when you touch a candle or anything, you leave an auric residue. And this auric residue um has your last intention and your last impression left upon it. So if you burn it, um, then it's gonna burn with that intention. So um that's the that's the science behind um the art of candle magic or burning, is because it would leave um that impression which you want. Um, for example, like I said, um you have a court date. Well, okay, well, you would do blue because blue is known for communication. You know, that symbolizes the throw chakra. Also, blue is the color of justice. So you can also so you would use blue. So you will light, you will hold the candle in your hands and state um the the prayers, the psalms, and which that we talked about, seven, eight, yeah, eleven. And um, with your own intention, think about you seeing yourself win the case, walking out of there, not giving me money or whatever the case is, and then light it and then go about your business. You don't want to, you know, you don't want to keep going back over and over again, um, unless you are actually using it to strengthen and intensify, um, you know, if you feel like you're not getting enough energy flowing and the candle, um, let's say like the flame on the candle is burning real low. Yeah, you know that you need to amplify, you know, um more energy into that ritual.

SPEAKER_03: 28:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_00: 28:13

Now, if you got a high flame candle, then that means that the angels are working on your behalf and you get ready to smash that case.

SPEAKER_05: 28:21

Gary, smash that case. What's so dope about how you mentioned that is the intention, because you know, some people they they usually rely upon you if you have knowledge of this stuff, other science, they'll usually ask you, charge a candle for me.

SPEAKER_06: 28:35

Right.

SPEAKER_05: 28:35

Whatsoever. And I was always, my uncle, when he rests in peace, always would always say, I cannot get for you what you want. You have to. It's your intentions. Like I could do my best to aid, but it's your intentions. How can one person build up their intention on faith?

SPEAKER_04: 28:56

I think we lost connection here.

SPEAKER_06: 29:00

Did we lose connection with the brother? Was it too much being said, people? Let me know if y'all still on.

SPEAKER_04: 29:14

Oh man, we were just cooking.

SPEAKER_06: 29:16

I think we just lost some connection with the brother. Somebody in the comment section, let me know if whoever is still on.

SPEAKER_05: 29:26

Put a thumbs up because I think we lost the um I think we lost connection with Dr.

SPEAKER_04: 29:34

Aline.

SPEAKER_05: 29:39

I think we lost connection for a second. Yeah, we lost connection for a second.

SPEAKER_00: 29:42

Oh, okay, okay. There we go. I'm about to say, come on now.

SPEAKER_05: 29:45

Yeah, you see, as soon as we cooking, something happened like that. It's crazy, right?

SPEAKER_00: 29:48

Right, right, right, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_05: 29:51

I'm still on because you could still hear um how can one person build up their faith and intentions if they don't have that?

SPEAKER_00: 29:59

That's through the power of um uh mental hypnotism, self-hypnotism. So you have to say to yourself over and over again that you are that which that you think that you are, and based on what the um Bible says, um that is what you are, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 30:19

You know, so I am what I am, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 30:21

I am what I am, you know. So um Ia Asha Ia, um, you know, is the Hebrew terminology. I am that which that I am. So um nuk poop nuk within the ancient comedic teachings. I am that which that I am. So over and over again, just by stating um that you are um powerful, that you you know, that you can heal instantly, that you have ultimate protection, you know. Um, 10,000 angels can come to your aid, those types of things, you know. That is you saying it over and over again, you know, until you know you become one with that thought and with that purpose, and it manifests.

SPEAKER_05: 31:10

All right, brother, brother Lane, before you continue, brother, we got somebody in the comment section. Rosie Reese, I need help, and still here. What do you need help with, sister? We got the see you're hot, doctor. They need you, man.

SPEAKER_00: 31:23

Okay, well, I'm here for that.

SPEAKER_05: 31:27

What do you need help with, sister? You know, hopefully, brother or sister, my bad. I want you know, disrespect now, but yeah. What is crossroad, a crossroad ritual?

SPEAKER_00: 31:42

Oh, well, that's the that's that's um Johnson's enjoyment from back in the days. Um, they say he had to go meet the devil at the crossroads, and he met the devil and he learned how to play the guitar and became the greatest guitar player of all times, at least during that time period. So uh the crossroads just simply mean ishua legba um um or legwa. Um going to the crossroads, I'm going to meet with um ishu legwa, a legba, and um he's the lord of the crossroads, yeah. Um, you know, his American you know, um form would be a wolf.

SPEAKER_02: 32:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 32:29

So anyone who's part of the wolf clan will um be, you know, part of that um ishua and legwa um portion, you know. Um he's the trickster, yeah. But he but ishu is also the same word as Yashu, which is Yeshua, which is Jesus.

SPEAKER_03: 32:51

I got you. I gotcha.

SPEAKER_00: 32:53

You know, so um one is Yoruba, and the other one is um Hebrew, and Yoruba or Igbo, um, that is actually talking about the um some of the um Hebrew people which they've um discovered the by way of DNA in Africa.

SPEAKER_05: 33:16

Got you, got you. There's a lot of information you're giving out here, and I'm learning a lot more. Are there any dangers when practicing hoodoo where it could go left on you?

SPEAKER_00: 33:28

Of course, of course. Um and everything is based on a person's intentions, exactly. So so if their intention is to harm, maim, kill, murder, then I mean that's what they're gonna get, you know. Um, so it would be wise to curtail them negative thoughts when doing a ritual, um, you know, completely, as much as possible, you know, and try to vibe with um the angelic forces, you know, forces in which that deals with positivity, you know.

SPEAKER_06: 34:08

I got you.

SPEAKER_00: 34:10

All right, because people people utilize reversible candles, you know. But if someone reversible candles are utilized because they oftentimes feel like somebody's casting or throwing um spells or hexes at them, you know. But if no one is actually throwing a uh a spell at you, then um that can go wrong, you know.

SPEAKER_05: 34:39

I got you, I got you, I got you. I got you. That makes so much sense what you said. How can one go about cleaning themselves?

SPEAKER_00: 34:47

Oh, they can actually take an egg and go down through the auric fill, your body, and then take the egg and throw it outside and um let it, you know, break as you do the cleansing. Um, you can um sit in a in um in a tub um of um rosemary. You know, you can also you can also use frankincense and myrrh or frankincense or myrrh. Um you can use that, you can burn um burn around you, or you can use sage and burn it around you.

SPEAKER_05: 35:33

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00: 35:34

Yep. Somebody just said um uh or uh Santo Palo.

SPEAKER_05: 35:39

Oh the Santo Palo Palo Santo that the list the stick, right? Got you. This person said they just want peace and justice. Any recommending recommendations for that?

SPEAKER_00: 35:50

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely. Um, just simply light a blue candle and state what you just said. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05: 36:00

Oh man. Why why is it that hoodoo gets like it's it has a stigma about it, it gets a bad name. And I know the how the Europeans felt about it, the slave, uh the slave owners felt about it.

SPEAKER_00: 36:13

Well, that's where it comes from, is because the slave master um copies us and he creates Wiccan or Wicca from Wicca, you know, Wicca, and um, but that is seen as oh, that's the light, yeah. You know, but then we do the same thing. Oh, he's demonized. Oh, that's the devil, that's that's that's the devil, you know. So I mean, I mean, it comes from them um demonizing what we do, you know, and because of that, um, we take on that same perspective because allegedly we no longer practice those beliefs because we just believe in why Jesus He's gonna come back and save me.

SPEAKER_05: 37:09

Speaking, you know what? Speaking of that, right? We have seen in some churches in the South, I've seen some documentaries and stuff, like where they would have snakes in the Baptist churches.

SPEAKER_00: 37:21

Right, right.

SPEAKER_05: 37:22

Is that um an element of Hulu right there?

SPEAKER_00: 37:25

Yeah, it is. Yeah, not to get bitten, you know, that that snake symbolizes the Kuntalini. Um, what they'd done if taken something in which that was spiritual, um, you know, and metaphysical from a biblical standpoint. And what happened was is that in the old testament, it spoke about the fact of Moses um people uh was getting bitten by a snake. Um, however, he was told by God to take the snake and put place upon a rod, and um, this snake was made of bronze, and whoever looked upon this snake um would not be bitten any longer. And so it's the same thing. Um, you know, um the Baptists in the hills of Ashefield and elsewhere here in North Carolina or West Virginia, uh Virginia area, this area, they would actually um utilize um snakes in order to see how strong their faith is and if they would get bitten or not. And um, of course, you know, uh many of them have gotten bitten. All right, crazy because they're taking something that was that was once metaphysical, talking about the Kuntalini, you know, which is an internal power, and they try to make it an external um um event.

SPEAKER_05: 38:55

That's crazy. We have a question here. Are the sixth, seventh, eighth, eighth, ninth, tenth books of Moses part of Hudu?

SPEAKER_00: 39:06

Um technically Yeah, you can utilize them for that.

SPEAKER_03: 39:14

Sure can.

SPEAKER_06: 39:18

I got you.

SPEAKER_05: 39:19

All right, so that's not so that's um other things. Um, so we spoke about the the cleansing and with the hoodoo and stuff like that. Um are they uh I wanted to ask again. Uh we spoke about the candle, the mad the candle, the candle work, candle magic, the with the songs, the spiritual baths. You say there's no there's no um is there like a a system of like you know how in Santeria they have like head washing irrigations and stuff? Do do is that practice in hoodoo? Like a head washing to realign somebody?

SPEAKER_00: 39:55

Yes, yes, it is. Yes, that is practical thing hoodoo as well as Also within voodoo. Your hair um carries energies. And so one of the places in which that oftentimes a person is attacked is at the dead area. So that is to discombobulate the mind and um throw the person frequencies off and have them uh mentally scrambled when it comes to thinking, for they end up making wrong decisions, not being able to um understand what's going on properly. Sometimes they become forgetful. Okay, you know. So all these things is because of someone um casting a spell, you know, and they targeting your head area, and your head, of course, symbolizes Obatala. You know, within the um Yoruba um traditions or what they call um you know the Yoruba traditions. And so what happened is that um here we would have to equivalent um in the Americas um to um Obatala. Um, you know, and we would call by his Amaru or Amaru would be the more indigenous name for us utilizing it here in the Americas.

SPEAKER_02: 41:36

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00: 41:37

It would be um head attack. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 41:41

All right, the head attack. And then also, um we know uh are there other any other um kind of phenomena, as they put it, within Hudu? Because you know Asian voodoo, they got the the the zombie thing aspect. Yeah, yeah. Is that part of hoodoo?

SPEAKER_00: 42:00

I mean it can be, yes. I mean, that's that at a whole much deeper level, but yeah, there's um people who've been able to um raise the dead, you know. Um, not just you know, doing the zombie thing, but actually being able to raise the dead within the voodoo traditions, as well as also with, you know, so we're talking about the Louisiana voodoo, as well as Haitian voodoo, as well as the um African voodoo. You know, they're all part of the same voodoo system. However, there are distinct differences, as I said earlier. The Louisiana um voodoo is more so based on um herbalism and ancestral um rights, not necessarily um going and praising or giving credence per se to um specific deities like Shango, Ishulekba, Emiya, Oya, Ogun, Oshun, you know, Abatala, the seven African powers. Because we we understand that those are nothing more than your seven chakras or the seven Elohims, you know, um, in which that they end up worshiping something external of themselves when it was internal the whole time. And um, who do have more of a grasp on that? That it's more internal than it is external.

SPEAKER_05: 43:32

I got you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that very much. And there's so many things I'm thinking about, like other aspect of who I'm glad you said the seven African powers and the different deities, because I always try to, I always thought John the Conqueror was a a saint attached to hoodoo. And there, but there's other stints that they do. They pray the pretty much the same saints that we use.

SPEAKER_00: 43:53

Yeah, yeah, like I said, within Catholicism, you know, the Catholic Church. Um, that's what it's you know, yep, exactly.

SPEAKER_05: 44:03

I got you. So and basically anybody can practice hoodoo if they wanted to. Anyone, no matter what must it be tied to a particular ethnic group.

SPEAKER_00: 44:13

Uh I mean, Uodoo is our system, you know, the the uh so-called African American, which I don't even like using that term, but the American Indian, or what we now refer to ourselves as the Moose. Um, this is ancient technology in which that we utilized back during the times of Atlantis, um, Lemoria, or what is called Mool. Um, we didn't wait to take it with us just within Egypt, a Kemet, and then spread, and it got spread throughout the rest of Africa. Um, we already had this um information and system prior to that, you know. So we utilized that which that we was able to remember, um, because like I said, it's nothing more than mind power. Your mind is what we refer to as the magic wand. So um, you know, you want to be a uh so-called uh magician, then you must learn how to use your magic wand, and your magic wand is your mind.

SPEAKER_05: 45:24

Got you. Somebody asks, how do we call on our monad?

SPEAKER_00: 45:30

Um, you yourself, your mind is the monad, and so simply um through your breath, your breath taps you back into um the established connection between your physical body and your mental processes, which is your mind, i.e., your soul. Um, your mind is your soul. Um, I can't see your mind or your soul, but I can see you breathing. Um, and your so your breath of life is your mind in action. So that's how you gather um the monad is through the science of breath.

SPEAKER_05: 46:12

I got you. All right, that's that's peace right there. So that's a beautiful beautiful thing right there, man. I'm glad you came out here and spoke about Hoodoo. Broke it down for us. And for those, as you mentioned, for those who are willing to get involved in Hoodoo, you said it's best for them to go through Wicca first. Study the Wicked first.

SPEAKER_00: 46:29

Not necessarily go through it, but but but that's the probably the closest that they would get to it is by studying that information. Um, those books. That's you know, um, but of course, always keep it um American Indian. Always keep it, you know, to your Moorish um link and language, you know. Don't don't go into you know all the glitzing, you know. Um, type of um, you know what I'm saying, type of don't don't go there, you know what I'm saying, and incorporate you know Albion's all into your thought process and we the same, you know, type of thing.

SPEAKER_05: 47:20

No, mess yourself up out here, man.

SPEAKER_00: 47:23

Right. Don't mess yourself up, don't get yourself confused, you know what I mean? Yeah, understand that that you got a battle um ahead, and that's what you're gonna utilize your gifts for is that battle, you know. You you in a war, and um, and you want to win as many battles as possible, thus winning the war eventually.

unknown: 47:46

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_05: 47:47

That makes that makes sense, man. I'm glad you just mentioned that. I'm glad you mentioned that. You go in there with a pure intention, do what you gotta do, protect yourself. Um, as they said earlier, somebody said this earlier spiritual hygiene from Sully. That's a that's a that's a must. You know, cleansing off, but every three to six months you cleanse off. It's important to cleanse yourself, your home. Right, uh just everything in aura and staying pure, man. We get we gotta have a part two about this, man. But we know we'll go a little deeper, man, and you know, maybe maybe learn more about you know the cometian sciences side. Because we know we know what we we know what we learn here in the North Americas, which was passed down, but go straight to the source itself.

SPEAKER_00: 48:28
