Hoodoo is a magical practice and, although it shares many ideas with Voodoo/Vodou (and other Pagan practices) and even a few things in Christianity, it actually has nothing to do with any particular religion. No, you do not have to believe in God in order to practice Hoodoo. There are many different types of people who practice. I have known of Christians, Mambos (Voodoo Priestesses), and Pagans (myself being one of them) who practice Hoodoo, all with equal results. There are no real religious beliefs in Hoodoo (at least no dogma so to speak). It focuses purely on the practice of folk magic. It's used in matters of luck, love, gambling, weath, cleansing, protection, and hexing. Since there are no real religious beliefs attached to it, the ethical application of it is up to the practictioner. For example, Wiccans practicing Hoodoo would not do anything to imposing on another's free will since they believe in the Threefold Law (everything you do comes back to you three times over). On the otherhand, someone who did not have a belief in consequences would have no problem doing it. It's really up to you and what you decide to believe. Since there is no hierarchy in Hoodoo finding a teacher can be hard. I do suggest you try to find one though! Cat Yronwode, the owner of the Lucky Mojo Curio company, is quite knowledgeable and offers a correspondence course for a fee. If that isn't the route you want to take, you could visit your local "New Age" or "Witchy" shop (if there is one near you) to possibly find a teacher. And if you're still having problems after that, you might want to search Amazon for books. "Sticks, Stones, Roots, and Bones" by Stephanie Rose Bird is a particularly good one, and "Hoodoo In Theory & Practice" by Cat Yronwode is an incredible resource as well. There is a lot to practicing Hoodoo, and I'm afraid I can only cover a little here, probably to the point it doesn't give you a good idea about it just yet, but I do hope this helps.

Answer 3

Like many things, it's all in how much you BELIEVE it will work. If you truly think hoodoo, voodoo, magic, etc. works then more than likely you are going to see results because you will look for the results you want to see. As someone wrote up above, its the power of suggestion - or a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you think you are 'cursed' you start attributing bad things that happen to you to a 'curse' instead of to the fact that bad things just happen. So yes,hoodoo can work if you believe it works.

RE:

does hoodoo work? is it dangerous?

i have been very interested in hoodoo for years, but is it dangerous?

Answer 5

I dont think that there is anyone alive who can accurately claim one way or another that magic is or isn't real.



Personally I think that there is enough circumstantial evidence to support there being more to life than what we are aware of generally, I dont know what it is or if any of the religions are even remotely close to it but I feel there is something more to existence than what we can currently 'percieve'.



As for is it dangerous, anything can be dangerous in the wrong hands and as no-one alive can genuinely proove or disproove how it all works then I would venture that there is a potential danger in messing with anything you dont understand, (look at how many scientists died in the pursuit of nuclear weapons because they didn't fully understand what they were doing at the time).



The wiki article below gives more detail but I dont think it's possible to answer the question with any degree of certainty because it's all to do with personal BELIEF rather than established FACT.

Answer 6

I have friends who use hoodoo, it seems to work for them.



And, whoever brought up Voodoo - no, Hoodoo is NOT voodoo. Voodoo is African-Caribean religion, Hoodoo is ... sort of a rural Christo-magical set of skills.

Answer 7

I'd like to find out myself, why not try it?

Answer 8

Voodoo? Nope its all just power of suggestion, like the Ouija Board. There is no such thing as magic.

Answer 9

It is like a placebo, which see. It works if you think it does.

Answer 10

Yes hoodoo works.



It depends on how you're using it as to whether or not it's dangerous. If you're using it to cross other people, or otherwise perform baneful magic, then you need to know enough about it to be able to cleanse and protect yourself accordingly.



If you are just using it for personal reasons, like making more money, getting more amorous attention, getting a promotion at work, etc, then there is no real danger.



If you are interested in hoodoo, then I suggest that you spend some time really studying the huge amounts of free literature on the topic available through http://www.luckymojo.com.
