It is highly disrespectful & very much offensive for individuals who are not of Afrikan and/or Native Amerikan descent to practice & call upon the Spirits, Ancestors & Deities, in our blood lineage for assistance + guidance.
If you who reads this have no blood connection to either descent & would like to get an innerstanding of our culture, purchase products for your own spirituality and/or services - you are free to stay for these purposes only. Otherwise, please read & complete the following steps.
You're the descendant of an oppressor + you have no business practicing Vodou or Hoodoo!

Now, moving on...
Those who do not have any Afrikan and/or Native Amerikan blood in their lineage is considered an oppressor no matter what. Our oppressors already & will always view our spirits, ancestors, deities, traditions & culture as demonic. When they view us, they see what they can own. Melanin tops all. This means that those of a Afrikan Amerikan and/or Native Amerikan bloodline, are well within their right to practice if they feel called upon by spirits and/or ancestors to do so.
We are the descendants of ancestors + spirits who were royal heirs, great w| growing crops + much more but some also may have experienced enslavement, was betrayed + taken from their families by our oppressors. We call upon them for guidance & assistance w| hardships we face in life. This is "being led". They know the bullsh*t we endure just because we're us. They have practiced not only Vodou/Vodun (Voodoo) in secrecy, but Hoodoo (Hudu) too, that helped the, break free from the chains of enslavement and/or rebuilding their royal status. Reconnecting w| what they've lost.
Do not let the world wide web, media, a friend, any other culture vulture or appropriator convince you otherwise. This is for us & was created by us to assist us - Afrikan + Native Amerikan descendants - w| issues that we still face on daily frequencies. These include, but are not limited to:
- Imprisonment
- Court cases
- Financial blockages
- Entrepreneurship
- Employment
- Home ownership + so much more.
Our oppressors, however, still think it is ok to take what is for us & make it for them. Why? Because our spirits, ancestors + deities are powerful as hell. Of course, they want to use that power too. When they use it, they refer to it as "bad", "negative", or "demonic"! Hence the name "black magic" or "dark magic". In doing so, there's been many cases where they + their descendants have paid the price + received an invoice that provides an unchangeable total of why they are no longer here to tell their story! Research the story on Katelyn "Kat" Restin if you must.
I say that to say this...
Protect our traditions, culture + legacy by any means necessary!
Because one thing for certain & two for sure, if & when you don't, our Spirits, Ancestors, Deities + Guides damn sure will!
