News story from Zimbabwe:

Zimbabwe: Open Market for Goblins
April 14, 2007

Brenna Chigonga and Patience Nyangove

Re: 2010: May 8-9 MISC Hoodoo Heritage Festival Workshops

That was nice. Thanks Najah!

I always get a kick out of magic places like the one cat and her crew have created :-)

Re: Hoodoo Bibliography and Book Suggestions for African American Folk Magic

I was babysitting my young nephew this morning and took him to the library. There in the
kids' section I saw a book called _Black Cat Bone_, about the life of Robert Johnson. It was
prety good and nice art. It made me wonder what other books having hoodoo as an element
might be out there for kids ...

Re: Birds as Omens: Hawk, Crow, Dove, Wren, Owl, Sparrow, Etc.

The Earth as a living system of beings is being killed. We see it in
Hawaii. The Hopi and Kogi Indians have warned us about it. The
animals, plants and weather are warning us. The Earth is dying. The
rules are changing. Up is down and down is up.

This is very heavy, what you saw.

Re: Hoodoo Bibliography and Book Suggestions for African American Folk Magic

just as ...

Re: Hoodoo Bibliography and Book Suggestions for African American Folk Magic

As far as Native American books to serve as a wide introduction to spiritual and
religious views, I highly recommend "The Sacred: Ways of Knowledge, Sources of Life",
by Peggy Beck, Anna Lee Walters, and Nia Francisco (Navajo Community College
1992). If you get one book for an overview to Native ...

Re: (Non-Hoodoo) News Stories on African and African Diasporic Folk Lore Religion and Magic

Howdy

When I was in Nigeria in '96, I lived mainly among the Yoruba of Oyo state. The two other
major ethnic groups of Nigeria were the Ibo/Igbo (mainly represented in the south and
west of Nigeria) and the Hausa-Fulani (of the north, and pretty much Muslim). I lived in
Ibadan and went a lot to ...
