part. One understanding the basics. Many of our everyday practices can have magical uses, taking a shower, organizing your files and workspace, cooking, working, exercising even using the bathroom anything and everything can have a hoodoo application. If you're willing to get creative and open your mind, you could say who do is everywhere. The basic concept in Hoodoo is paying respect to the things we can and cannot see. It's a way to connect work with and respect the powerful natural forces and world around us and the forces that remain unseen to the naked eye by natural forces. I mean the earth, plants, trees, herbs and dirt, more specifically actual roots from plants, trees and herbs, common roots. You will hear of our high john the conqueror, mandrake, licorice and angelica, unseen forces are exactly that unseen. The air is often mentioned as an example of a force that we can't see, but one we know exists. The same could be said for Wifi when it comes to who do. We're talking about forces that are a little easier to deny what our ancestors knew was and is that the spirit world is just as real as our three D World colonizers saw how they lived, how close they were to spirits and immediately labeled it as evil. Unfortunately, this mindset spread and eventually it wasn't the colonizer saying working with spirits was evil. It was the descendants of our ancestors. You may have encountered people who think like this in your life. If you want to build your practice, you have to give yourself permission to see things differently. What is Hoodoo in simple terms, hoodoo is a magical and spiritual practice that emerged out of a need work is an important word. You do work and you find what works to achieve what you want, Who do is a practice that is about creating a change in our internal and external worlds. This is done through a series of methods that have been passed down for centuries later on in this book will cover specifics, but for now know that these changes are signaled by using items such as oils, mojo bags, alters actual roots, lights, candles, waters, colognes, herbs and much much more. One thing that trips up many who are new to the practice is the use of biblical concepts and verses in conjure this goes back to the influence of Christianity as I mentioned in the introduction, this influence cannot be understated to disguise what they were doing. Many african slaves were able to practice their magic as long as slave owners thought they were practicing Christianity. This goes back to who do being about a balance between physical and non physical worlds. When working with spirits, we approach from the perspective that we're working with the people who paved the way for us often from hundreds and thousands of years back when we engage with you do, we are engaging with ancestors whose lives centered around the church whether christian or catholic. This isn't to say that you need to memorize your bible verses in order to practice who do, But it's a component that shouldn't come as a surprise to you when you come across a prosperity working, that requires you to recite psalm 72. For example, if you have negative perceptions when it comes to the bible or talking about God, it's at this point when you have to decide if you're willing to put them aside so you can get serious about this practice. This goes back to what I said earlier about respecting forces that are seen and unseen. We may not be able to understand the significance of the bible in this practice, but reverence to our ancestors is more important here than our personal preferences or histories.
