Ello everyone.

I'm a practising wiccan. I've noticed that Hoodoo and conjure has a lot of spells/root work etc that affect people directly. Obviously wiccans believe anything you put out comes back on you.
Do Hoodoo workers subscribe to this idea too?

Thanks very much. ;)

Welcome to our forum.

You ask if hooodoo workers "subsribe to the idea" that "anything you put out comes back to you." Well, not really. Most practitioners of hoodoo are Christians, and the Bible is filled with all kinds of Jewish and Christian magical workings, with no mention of "bounce back," although, of course, God will punish the wicked in due time.

Each culture treats of these matters in its own way. Check us out, but do be aware that hoodoo is a form of domestic folk magic strongly rooted in African American culture and Christian folkloric beliefs.
