Places like twitter and Instagram remind me day by day why the metaphysical—esp the hoodoo community is overall toxic on social media. Some rootworker was basically shaming people for doing orisha readings through amazon decks. And like—I get the negative stigma around not having a deck that is hereditary or not having a deck that’s expensive or gifted to you but at the same time—not every rootowrker has familial ties. Not every root worker has the ability to ask a family member or a mentor for materials and a deck. What y’all need to realize is that a lot of new rootworkers are quite literally starting from scratch and most of us have to start rootwork in our own family and make our own path . like some of us are not hereditary rootworkers, we have to find resources where we can, get things like decks and other materials where we can and sometimes that can’t be a family member, or a mentor. Sometimes, that’s amazon, sometimes it’s etsy. And if that’ where people get their stuff from—that includes their decks-then let them. at the end of the day it doesn’t matter where you get a deck from, it matters if you can make a connection to your cards and a bond that continues to grow—and you can get that regardless of where you get your deck from. The point is, hoodoo has become so commercialized and used as clout that people all over try to be the voice and authority on it and it’s annoying. Not everyone’s hoodoo is the same—people are different, people have mentors some people don’t. some people are starting from nothing.
Remember, hoodoo is about connecting to your ancestors with what you have. our ancestors during slavery didn’t have a lot, but they still made shit work and that’s why we are here today. Shaming people for making due with what they have is the opposite of what our ancestors preached.

Not that this is wrong, necessarily (there are varying definitions of concentration camp), but the current tally by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) is over 20,000 different locations used by the Nazis for slave labor and the holding of political prisoners.
To debate a black American descendant of chattel slavery on why Hoodoo should actually be for everyone, when you are not black or American is the most colonizing, gentrifying, VAMPIRIC thing one could do and absolutely NOT what an ALLY would do.
I’ve had Caucasian people ask me if they could chill out and at least follow me so they could learn whatever I put on this page, and I’m always like “Sure! Respect.” But to be a white British person, in my inbox debating me on why any black American NEeDs tO sHAre....is the most un-self aware, Narcissistic thing that...I guess, historically speaking is pretty on par with what a white British person would do considering what your people have done when it comes to stealing, colonizing and forcing the assimilation of most of the planet.
The thing that also DISGUSTS me the most with filling up my inbox with this “debate”, is that, not only the conversation....but the solid answer of “NO, LEAVE US ALONE” has been said by plenty of black Americans in regards to Hoodoo. TYPICAL COLONIZER BEHAVIOR ALWAYS IGNORES THE MAJORITY AND TRIES TO FIND THE ONE TOKEN BLACK PERSON THAT WILL SAY “YES. COME IN” SO THAT YOU CAN DEFEND YOUR POSITION IN A PLACE YOU DONT BELONG, “wELl thEy sAiD” HEADASS........Well, I’m not the one, the second or the third!
WE DONT HAVE TO SHARE WITH PEOPLE THAT CONTINUE ON A DAILY, REAL LIFE BASIS GASLIGHT, OPPRESS, STEAL FROM, & KILL US. Be a good ally and see what you can do for the black & brown people in the UK. If you’re so worried about what black Americans are doing, be a good ally and see what you can do for Jacob Banks & Breonna Taylor’s family.
