thanks everyone! well first off, i'd like to know some history behing hoodoo. i was raised catholic, spent 11 years at catholic school and everything. but when i graduated from there and started becoming more independent, i really began looking into hoodoo and it interests me so much and it seems like my beliefs are similiar and related to this.
i was also wondering how spells and rituals and all that work. like...are there specific ones or do people make them up themselves and if so, how?
