Hoodoo is a system of African American folk spirituality and folk magic that developed among enslaved Africans in the American South, blending African traditional religions, European folklore, and Native American herbal knowledge. It involves practices like root work, conjure, spell casting, and the use of charms (mojo bags) for protection, luck, or healing, and is distinct from religions like Vodou, though sometimes conflated with them. Practitioners, often called root workers or conjurers, pass down oral traditions and are consulted for spiritual guidance and folk remedies.
