The Queens of Voodoo and Hoodoo Do it Again
This is not your ordinary day-planner. This is a whole year-long spiritual guide, steeped deep in Hoodoo, Southern root work, and old Native wisdom. It is a jambalaya of information for magic girls of every practice. From astrology, moon cycles, conjure work, folktales, old-time history, along with reverence for our most sacred resistance fighters like Sojouner Truth, Harriet Tubman and Dr. Jim Brown. They bring us Herbs, bones, cards even “Poor Boy’s Tarot" has a place at this table. It's a reminder that Hoodoo has always been about survival and liberation from the beginning. From moon-planting to stirring’ up kitchen spells, it has something for every kind of worker. Carolina Dean’s piece on “Moon Swings” adds some real depth to the stars, but it’s Denise, with her fifty years walking’ the Creole path right here in New Orleans, that bring the heart soul and spirit of this book.
It’s a whole holy gumbo—blending’ Catholic saints, Voudou spirits, and Indigenous ways into one big, beautiful, syncopated rhythm. A celebration of what’s sacred down South, and a real affirmation of magic lived every day. Our ancestors spoke volumes into this work, and we thank them for it.
