Throughout all realms of experience, that essential nature illuminating Existence
is the One
May all beings perceive through subtle intellect
the magnificent brilliance
of enlightened Awareness
~ Gayatri mantra

Black Magic Matters: Hoodoo as Ancestral Religion
Thank you for your work <3
Thank you for this body of work. This blog came across my way in my research in deepening my relationship to African-diasporic spiritualities as a (Black-Mixed Queer) Witch — it’s been interesting trying to find and learn from sources where this is grounded in their ancestry and identity.
Inspired by your work, I sat in your HDS webinar with G. Parmigiani! Thank you!!
Beautiful, much appreciated <3
Thank You 🙏 For Sharing Your Knowledge, Wisdom, and; Experience! I applaud 👏🏼 you!
