This is a magical space. With the greatest devotion and appreciation for black religious experiences at the heart of our mission, the Academic Hoodoo celebrates the power and presence of Africana spirituality. We are deeply moved by the wonder and beauty of the Sacred in the world, however and wherever it manifests. This is what we mean by black magic.
Magic can be defined as a profound communication with one’s Creator, characterized by such proximity that it creates an impression of performing something that feels supernatural and extraordinary. This closeness enables the workings of Divine energies, which engage, act, and bring about changes within the world.
Our aim is to uplift the creative genius of Africana religions while providing accessible information about black people and their spiritual traditions. This site serves to inform and to fascinate, and whatever creed, doctrine, or higher teachings you subscribe to, you will find a common thread of kinship and community.
We are committed to promoting a new view of magic. As we center Africana traditions, with a focus on Hoodoo, we invite you to join us on this journey of learning, love, and devotion. Our work is infused with the boundless power of respect and honor for those who came before us – the ancestors – as we recognize the unity of all that is Divine – as you experience it, in joy, gratitude, in peace.
