Discover the Hoodoo and Rootwork supplies offered by Aeternum: roots, oils, powders, candles, curios, mojo bags, and books dedicated to African-American conjure. Hoodoo developed in the United States within African-American communities and brings together, depending on the traditions and periods, rootwork, prayers, psalms, charms, and preparations intended for specific goals.
To assemble your supplies, start with the type of work rather than accumulating products. Magical oils are used in particular to anoint certain items when the method calls for it; magical powders and roots serve other purposes. Mojo bags bring several elements together in a single working.
Hoodoo should not be confused with Haitian Vodou, which is a religion organized around the lwa and its own ceremonies. The guide Hoodoo and Vodou: what are the differences? explains this distinction before you choose your products.
To get started, consult What is Hoodoo?, followed by the Hoodoo books. Product descriptions specify the format, the stated composition, and how each item fits into ritual work.
Hoodoo & Rootwork: choose the supplies according to the work.
Hoodoo, also called conjure or rootwork, is part of the African American spiritual history of the United States. The Aeternum catalog brings together roots, oils, powders, candles, curiosities, mojo bags, and books for studying and creating workings according to a documented method.
Start with your objective and the practice you follow: an oil, a root, and a powder do not serve the same purpose. The guide What is Hoodoo? is a good starting point before buying several materials.
Roots and plants hold an important place in rootwork. High John the Conqueror, galangal, orris and other materials are chosen according to tradition and the work.
Each medium has its role. An oil is used to anoint certain objects or candles, a powder serves a different purpose, a root provides substance for the work, and a mojo brings several elements together in one sachet.
Start with your goal, then build a coherent set: you buy less at random and give each element a real function.
The mojo bag brings together several elements around an intention. Petition paper, roots, powders, or curiosities may be included depending on the work being performed.
Our article about mojo bags explains their purpose before you create your own.
Roots, oils, powders, and candles take on their full meaning when they become part of a method. Prayers, psalms, petition papers, and conjure actions give the work structure and connect the different tools.
Hoodoo books make it possible to go further and transform a simple selection of products into a truly structured practice.
